. Time is basically awareness of change. I emphasize awareness.


I know. I'm just trying to imagine it...

For me if you "freeze" everything, THAT is motionlessness. Can you have existence with out motion, and if so what is it? You used the word awareness to communicate something that is obviously transcendent. I'm clear on the concept, but I have a visualization problem. What metaphor from that library that I know (mine!) can I use to bridge this gap? Is there an analog?

I can imagine an omnipotent being, but it would still be active. The space over which it moved could transcend our time frame but it would still be "motion", not stasis.
