Time, Light, Geometry, and the illusion of Separation...simplified...

To conceive of time as it exists in REALITY, imagine the path individual light particles (photons) take from A to B not as a LINE A-B, but as POINT AB...

Then, conceive of any given POINT as existing within a SUPERPOSITION of reality, SIMULTANEOUSLY, and at the SAME POINT IN SPACE TIME.

That simultaneous point is a singularity.

That means that all that light reflects and refracts HAS EXISTED ALREADY. 

There is NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN.

Time is TRULY STATIC. The illusion of progression and forward momentum is a side effect of our spiritual interpretation of this physical reality. 

Enlightenment, or internal illumination, is the personal realization of the static nature of time. Within a singularity, all that can exist, does. All knowledge is instantly accessible.

You cannot separate SPACE from TIME. Similarly, you cannot seperate THE SPIRIT from THE SOUL. And yet, subjective reality creates the space for us to do just that.

Separation, on a truly fundamental level, IS THE ILLUSION.
