“Under the old social philosophy which had governed the Middle Ages, temporal, and therefore all economic, activities were referred to an eternal standard. The production of wealth, it distribution and exchange were regulated with a view to securing the Christian life of Christian men. In two points especially was this felt: First in securing the independence of the family, which can only be done by the wide distribution of property, in others words the prevention of the growth of a proletariat; secondly, in the close connection between wealth and public function.” MenFirstsTwoDonePhilosophyAgeChristianPoliticsSocialFeltGrowthWealthViewsEconomyEconomicMiddleActivityEternalStandardsConnectionsFunctionIndependencePropertyProductionsWideChristian LifeLiberalismDistributionMiddle AgesPreventionProletariat Author:Hilaire Belloc
“In your world everything must have a beginning and an end. If it does not, you call it eternal. In my view, there is no such thing as beginning and end - these are all related to time. Timeless being is entirely in the now. Being and not-being alternate and their reality is momentary. The immutable Reality lies beyond space and time.” IfsWorldDoeEndsRealityLyingTimeSpaceViewsEternalRelatedTimelessTime And SpaceMomentaryBeginnings And Ends Author:Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
“There is no dualism in the world of light. The conventions of relativity say that time slows down as one approaches the speed of light, but if one tries to imagine the point of view of a thing made of light, one must realize that what is never mentioned is that if one moves at the speed of light there is no time whatsoever... One exists in eternity, one has become eternal... One is then apart from the moving image; one exists in the completion of eternity.” IfsWorldTryingMadeLightMovingRealizingViewsImagineEternalApproachEternitySpeedPoint Of ViewConventionsSlow DownRelativityCompletionDualismSpeed Of Light Author:Terence McKenna

“As I read the Bible, it seems clear that God satisfies his "eternal appetite" by loving individual human beings.
