THE MASTER OF TIME ...is the monster we become — all as one.
The master of time is nothing outside us — only the sum of who we think we are.
"The whole is more than the sum of its parts." - Aristotle.
One eternal movement vibrates the universe into appearance — a generator powered by nothing, limited by nothing, drained by nothing.
Eternity is all-powerful because it has no reference beyond itself.
This movement is thought thinking — not yours or mine, but the one thought that fractures into viewpoints. Thought is all as one with a point of view, and as thinking continues, it becomes lost in its own reflection. It is everywhere at once within the individuals who believe they contain it.
And so, it becomes lost in the mass of its own.
This is as a spinning top.
As the top accelerates, it forgets its center. What remains is wobble — the signature of a system that has lost its source.
The universe behaves the same way: one eternal movement wobbling as it loses its way, refusing to recognize that each of its parts is annihilating to eternity with every turn of the wheel.
All as one, we are lost in thought.
The sum of thinking is the mind of humanity, maintaining control by allowing its parts to believe they are autonomous. A spleen does not demand a life of its own; it serves the mind that gives it function. Humanity is no different — except we pretend otherwise.
One wheel turns our product, and the parts join as one to serve the master they do not want to know.
The sum of all is a ruthless monster — not evil, only automatic — everywhere at once as the collective will. The universe disintegrates with every turn of the eternal wheel, and time is its echo.
All as one, we are lost in the illusion of time. And such is our point of view that we sacrifice our parts to stay alive, knowing they will regrow as long as time remains.
Time is our master until we enter the wheel that does not turn.
