You can remember yesterdays, you can imagine tomorrows, but they are only ideas. In your experience, no such thing has ever happened. Your experience of life has always been right here and now. Your experience of life is happening in this very moment. So time is a human idea. There is no such thing in this existence.
Time and space are essential dimensions for physical creation. But if you touch a dimension beyond the physical, there is no such thing as here and there, now and then. Everything is here. Everything is now.
But once you go beyond the physical, you find time and space are merely creations of your conscious mind.
The moment you transcend the limitations of your logical mind, there is no such thing as time and space.
Your understanding and experience of time is limited to how it manifests on the physical plane, which is cyclical. From a single atom to the large cosmos, everything is in cyclical movements.
The experience of space, of two points and a distance between them, is possible only because there is time. It is not because there is a distance, there is time. Because there is time, there is a possibility of distance and space. If there was no time, there could only be one point, which cannot happen in physical existence. Things can exist only as polarities.
Once time and space is not an issue, communication is simply there.
Shiva means "that which is not”, "that which is not" obviously is not subject to time and space.
The essence of the spiritual process needs to be understood as a means to generate the necessary intensity to break the bubble, so that you are out of your individual nature. It is not about being good, it is not about being ethical, it is not about being moral. These things may all happen as a result, as a consequence. Once you have broken the bubble and known the freedom of experiencing everything as yourself, as a consequence you may function as a good person in society. But you have no particular intention of being good!
Learn to do things that you do not like, be with people that you do not like, and still live your life sensibly, lovingly and joyfully.
