The mystery of space...

If, in the dimension of space, only a single page parts this chapter from the previous one,in the dimension of time several months lie between them.

Let us reflect upon this mystery of space. It is the one element which has no opposite. Even shape and form of every kind are included within space and do not constitute its antithesis.

What does the word "space" stand for? Does it represent the image of something actually known? Does it represent the imagined concept of something not actually known?

To say that the World-Mind is diffused throughout all space would be true but would also be untrue if the statement were left there. For all space is itself a state in the World-Mind.

The point will be clearer to non-metaphysical readers if you always couple Time with Place rather than with Space.
