The clock is ticking away a time-line that does not exist.When Genesis speaks of 6 days, it relates to us the importance of ranking, or priorities, not of ‘time’ (one time in appearance, vs. many times of appearances). Else, there is only ‘THIS DAY’, consistent of moments, or snap shots, whether we see it as an eternity, a year, an hour, or thousands of years.During every millisecond, what exists in the visible image of the world flickers in and out, just like a pulse, and is willing to arrange itself all renewed, or replenished around a focused thought, at any given moment. This image of the physical world includes the image we have of ourselves.When we read everywhere around us that we are FAT, because we eat the ‘WRONG’ foods, it is NOT TRUE.In movies, we have seen ghosts appear as a transparent, more silhouette-like shiny substanc...
