Conceived by God, man is eternal in the divine sense, but conceived, by himself, man's eternal life is clothed in the limitations we call time. The eternal is a constant present without beginning or end, without past or future." CONCEIVED BY GOD MAN IS ETERNAL IN THE DIVINE SENSE BUT CONCEIVED BY HIMSELF MAN'S ETERNAL LIFE IS CLOTHED IN THE LIMITATIONS WE CALL TIME THE ETERNAL IS A CONSTANT PRESENT WITHOUT BEGINNING OR END WITHOUT PAST OR FUTURE
h 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. 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. Bjorklund, the Swedish philosopher, has well stated the same truth: “Neither past nor future can exist to God; He lives undividedly, without limitations, and needs not, as man, to plot out his existence in a series of moments. Eternity then is not identical with unending time; it is a different form of existence, related to time as the perfect to the imperfect … Man as an entity for himself must have the natural limitations for the part.  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 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 BJORKLAND THE SWEDISH PHILOSOPHER HAS WELL STATED THE SAME TRUTH NEITHER PAST NOR FUTURE CAN EXIST TO GOD HE LIVES UNDIVIDEDLY WITHOUT LIMITATIONS AND NEEDS NOT AS MAN TO PLOT OUT HIS EXISTENCE IN A SERIES OF MOMENTS ETERNITY THEN IS NOT IDENTICAL WITH UNENDING TIME IT IS A DIFFERENT FORM OF EXISTENCE RELATED TO TIME AS THE PERFECT TO THE IMPERFECT MAN AS AN ENTITY FOR HIMSELF MUST HAVE THE NATURAL LIMITATIONS FOR THE PART
