54. The Now
Astronomers speak of time in terms of billions, trillions and aeons
of years. Even these figures are not adequate for their
mathematical calculations and they may be required to coin new
terms.
If I were to try and explain in astronomical terms the beginning
and end of time, it would never depict the beginning and end of
time in Eternity.
There is always an 'ago' and there is always an 'after' to every
point in time. The 'yesterdays' of the past and the 'tomorrows' of
the future hinge on a point in time which is the NOW of the
present moment in Eternity.
In a flight of imagination imagining the beginning and the end of
the NOW of the present moment in Eternity, one can at the most
either add or subtract a measure of time; but this would be
nothing more than an adding or erasing of zeros. No amount of
swing, even of aeons of cycles, in the sweep of time can give an
iota of concept of any beginning or end of the NOW in Eternity.
