| It is difficult to know for certain, sometimes, just what a person means when they mention the word " meditation " since that word can apply to many related activities. Below I will post URL's to a couple of well balanced viewpoints of what the word might reasonably mean, minus any potenti... |

| A good study Pethuel! That might lead to a resolution of the first 2 questions in my last post. It might be the situation that the possibilities for reckoning the passage of time cover a continuum. That is, one might use an entirely local inertial frame of reference where the measuring device is at ... |

| 130:7.4 (1439.2)... The motion of time is only revealed in relation to something which does not move in space as a time phenomenon. Isn't this stating, in somewhat disguised fashion, that to properly understand and account for the passage of time, an observer or measuring device needs to be in the ... |

It seems to be so well explained that no technical knowledge is needed to fully grasp what the sc... |

| Okay, thanks Nigel. I was able to download the files from Google Drive, except Clip 2 (which would load into my browser to watch but didn't want to complete the download operation - maybe an operational issue with Google's site as many their staff might be on vacation now?) None of the video's playe... |

| And here we face mystery. The so-called " space " which the authors describe is very different to the old idea of a 3D Newtonian " now ", or the simple 4D fabric " faintly glimpsed " by Einstein ( 195:7.5 ). An even FAINTER glimpse is hinted at by Jesus in his " D... |

| What are "artificially contrived potentials" exactly? Or generally? Maybe my use of that word was suboptimal without giving a detailed explanation. Like most things in life we tend to struggle towards economy and efficiency. Sometimes things come out in a similar way as when a musician im... |
