Space & Time
In Anatomy of Miracles (on Sat Nam Rasayan), Subagh Singh Khalsa mentions something that seems quite obvious when pointed out: when we shift our attention from one object to another, it is inevitably accompanied by a sense of space and time.
To say it in a different way...
When there is an identification with any segment of what is, when I believe in the idea of I and place it on a segment of what is, then my identity narrows down to an object in the world, to something finite, appearing in space and time. I apparently am - in my own experience - "trapped" in space and time.
So identifying with focus of attention is one example of this. When I identify with focus of attention, I see how it moves - or I move - from location to location, one after another, and this gives a sense of being trapped on the "inside" of space and time.
When the belief in the idea of I drops, there is only what is - beyond and including all polarities, including space and time. If I call this "I", then I can say that space and time unfolds within me.
Original draft...
When I look at it, I see that it is not the shifting of attention itself which gives rise to this experience of space and time. It seems to be the identification with the focus - and sometimes the content of the focus - which brings this about. As soon as this focus becomes "I", then there is space and time. "I" becomes the one moving around bringing first one thing, then another, into focus of attention. "I" am the one travelling from destination to destination, one after another.
Going one step back, I see that this comes from the belief in the idea of "I" as a segment of what is. And in this case, the "I" is placed on the focus of attention (and maybe other things as well, such as the object of attention, intention, awareness, thoughts, and so on).
If there is no identification with anything happening, there is also no identification with space & time. Everything is just happening in an always fresh and eternal present.
Here, the focus of attention can move around as it naturally does, and space and time unfolds as it does, yet there is no identification with either - so no contraction of identity down to ay segment of it, such as focus of attention and/or space & time.
