Time Spawned by Eternity

Time so temporal.
Eternity a measure.
As a unity.

Time so illusive.
Let us now consider time.
Time so relative.

Time as a measure.
Measuring the becoming.
Of the fleeting things.

Things that we number.
Things that we can only count.
Things that do not last.

Things that come and go.
Coming and passing away.
Nothing permanent.

Things as images.
As icons of our vision.
Itself not lasting.

All are images.
The Cosmos, too, is image.
On which all time “moves.”

Proclus told us that.
Declaring eternity.
As wholesome measure.

Of a Unity.
Of the Intelligible.
What we call Divine.

Just like the TAO.
Time manifests multiples.
Regards the many.

That which we can count.
With beginning and ending.
Again, a measure.

Time…Eternity…
Again an opposition.
That constitutes ONE!

Time measures numbers.
While things that are permanent.
Eternity knows.

Both then are measures.
Both measuring something else.
There — dwells unity!

Time is given life.
Borne out of eternity.
Itself is all unity.

Again, like the TAO.
What is not manifested.
There unity dwells.

Where unity dwells.
Opposes the manifest.
Time’s physical home.

Time’s physical home.
Is also where man resides.
Things that come and go.

Where unity dwells.
That is not manifested.
Potential haven.

In psychology.
Jung’s “Individuation.”
Place of completion.

Where time “marches on.”
We all strive for completion.
But it is not here.

Where can we find it?
It is in eternity.
Not manifested.

Search for it therefore.
Where you can find unity.
There — you shall find rest.

To summarize all.
This then is our conclusion.
Embrace opposites.

And do not despair.
In opposites we find Truth.
Singularity!

Embrace then the ONE.
Even when you see many.
Pursue unity.

Unity is friend.
A friend of eternity.
And of completion.
