@johnmilbank3 @dysangelistes The context above somewhat cryptic, but what comes immediately to mind is the liberatory insight of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel: "We should not speak of the flow or passage of time but of the flow or passage of space through time." And, as an aside, the Gita.

All actions take place in time by the interweaving of the gunas of Prakrti, and the deluded man thinks that he is the doer of the actions. But the man who knows the relation between the gunas of Prakrti and the actions understands that actions are only gunas acting upon other gunas, and that he is not their slave. - Bhagavad Gita 3: 27-28
@quasiaesthete 1/ Heschel's 'Sabbath', ("the primary text for all subsequent US Jewish spirituality" - Kushner) introduced the radical idea of an 'architecture of holiness', not in space and the material things which fill it, but in time and the eternity which imbues it. facebook.com/nick.routledge.39/posts/2051316024952377
