"What is my real relationship to time?  I experience the near past, the near future, and the very far past; a lot of my soul or psyche seems to be transtemporal … maybe this is why any given present space time seems somehow unreal or delusional to me. I span across and hence beyond it; always have —and the transtemporal is the eternal, the divine, the immortal spirit. How long have I been here, and how many times? Who or what am I, and how old? Reality outside confronts me as a mystery, and so does my own inner identity. The two are fused. Who am I? When is it? Where am I? This sounds like madness. But when I read the Scriptures I find myself in the world which is to me real, and I understand myself. The Bible is a door."
