Chapter 8Experiences of the Self, the One and the Infinite · The Self and Time

In the self or pure existence there is no time or space — except spiritual space or wideness.

* Yes — in the silence of the self there is no time — it is ak¯ala.

* Yes, that is correct. In the first realisation of silence in the higher consciousness there is no Time — there is only the sense of pure existence, consciousness, peace or a strong featureless Ananda. If anything else comes in it is a minor movement on the surface of this timeless self-existence. This and the sense of liberation that comes with it is the result of the mind’s quiescence. At a higher level this peace and liberation remain, but can be united with a greater and freer dynamic movement.
