True Eternity

True infinity arrives at the comprehension of the singularity of the present moment, witth the acute sense of present possibilities and how whether a certain action taken or not taken will paradigmatically change everything one way or the other (even if one can not have more than a hunch with regard to the outcomes of either). This is true presence as identity of moment and eternity - for it is a sense of eternity in which one is atop it all, and true infinity is thus true eternity - and it must necessarily end because we must act or at least resume our affairs.

One could say that these moments are the “quilting points” of time - that time is a procession and return to the moments of true eternity. We proceed from the suspension of now and eternity into sequences of nows under the obscure umbrella of eternity receeding, different lines drawn that seem almost as automatic, elaborations of a formula, until we return to the point of suspension. It is more subtle than this, there is an unrulyness that never quite leaves, the awareness that we aren’t “awake” lurking half-conscious, for it wants to come out, but we can not always support the weight of it’s truth. Nevertheless it will return, and we can make ourselves more receptive to it, more capable of bearing it - this is spiritual practice.
