New God and Time.
One of my favourite analogies about God and Time to imagine Time being like a pencil line drawn down a sheet of paper. God is like the paper. :-)

Also, I remember a Dilbert (!) sequence about the meaning of Time. It was a discussion between Ratbert and the garbage man. It was something about time being a filter over reality. It actually almost made sense. Ratbert, of course, sprained his brain...

New Paper.. and also 'projection screens / filters'
are often used similarly - as a means of grokking the significance of the maya, world of appearances in which we, they and zIWE dwell (along with roses, lemurs, nukes and sunsets).

(Of course too.. no one ever achieves a grokking to Fullness 'here'! - at least, it is presumed that any few who Do: have Nothing to say about It ;-)

For the rest of us, it's just like Mornington \ufffdrescent poetry contests. No?
