Miserable concepts of the objective phases of the subjective whole, they are about as ill adapted for the purpose, as an axe for fine carving." In the eternal Now, both past and future are consummated. MISERABLE CONCEPTS OF THE OBJECTIVE PHASES OF THE SUBJECTIVE WHOLE THEY ARE ABOUT AS ILL ADAPTED FOR THE PURPOSE AS AN AXE FOR FINE CARVING IN THE ETERNAL NOW BOTH PAST AND FUTURE ARE CONSUMMATED
e, according to their natures, depends on the difference of phase of their properties. Here we come to a high and difficult matter, which has always been held to be of great moment in the Eastern wisdom: the thought that the division of time into past, present and future is, in great measure, an illusion; that past, present, future all dwell together in the eternal Now. The discernment of this truth has been held to be so necessarily a part of wisdom, that one of the names of the Enlightened is: “he who has passed beyond the three times: past, present, future.” So the Western Master said: “Before Abraham was, I am”; and again, “I am with you always, unto the end of the world”; using the eternal present for past and future alike. With the same purpose, the Master speaks of himself as “the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.” And a Master of our own days writes: “I feel even irritated at having to use these three clumsy words—past, present, and future. ICH IS PAST AND THAT WHICH HAS NOT YET COME ACCORDING TO THEIR NATURES DEPENDS ON THE DIFFERENCE OF PHASE OF THEIR PROPERTIES HERE WE COME TO A HIGH AND DIFFICULT MATTER WHICH HAS ALWAYS BEEN HELD TO BE OF GREAT MOMENT IN THE EASTERN WISDOM THE THOUGHT THAT THE DIVISION OF TIME INTO PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE IS IN GREAT MEASURE AN ILLUSION THAT PAST PRESENT FUTURE ALL DWELL TOGETHER IN THE ETERNAL NOW THE DISCERNMENT OF THIS TRUTH HAS BEEN HELD TO BE SO NECESSARILY A PART OF WISDOM THAT ONE OF THE NAMES OF THE ENLIGHTENED IS HE WHO HAS PASSED BEYOND THE THREE TIMES PAST PRESENT FUTURE SO THE WESTERN MASTER SAID BEFORE ABRAHAM WAS I AM AND AGAIN I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD USING THE ETERNAL PRESENT FOR PAST AND FUTURE ALIKE WITH THE SAME PURPOSE THE MASTER SPEAKS OF HIMSELF AS THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA THE BEGINNING AND THE END THE FIRST AND THE LAST AND A MASTER OF OUR OWN DAYS RIGHTS I FEEL EVEN IRRITATED AT HAVING TO USE THESE THREE CLUMSY WORDS PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE
