The ego lives almost exclusively in memory, and linear-time is the magnetic memory of impacts/encounters with waves, within the conceptual continuum (void/vacuum) of energy. This is considered horizontal or vertical thinking, it is the record of ripples of effect. Ego is the reaction/response to said stimuli. Energy vibrations are associated with the Corpus Collosum, mid-brain, and brain-stem allowing senses to be confused for real awareness. The totality of causes and effects equals the continuum, or multiplicity of impacts, and the sum of dynamic relationships, the interplay of: in-breath/out-breath inner/outer, contraction/expansion, gathering/separation, annihilation/preservation (and sustenance), presence and illusion of absence, subject/object, active/passive, macro-micro, involution and evolution, etc. The ego uses the human instrument to determine arbitrary value, while a moment of Now or Zero-Point allows one to read/receive from the field of the mind. This is holographic memory, considered vertical awareness, Now is a direct Relationship with The "I AM." Presence or prescience is the realization that NOW, each moment of Action, determines past and future, not the reverse. This is the Power of Now, the ego-centric discrimination between the past and future is linear. The delusion of the dynamic curvature of space and linear-time (cause and effect) allows the absolute to orbit the symmetry of form, but only the absolute center allows for real stability. The human instrument's non-linear intuitive synthesis and awareness of synchronicities, the restoration of synchronic order, harmonic resonance, and finally quantum coherence/fluidity, requires a reciprocal return to essence in the synergy of life.

"While All is in THE ALL, it is equally true that THE ALL is in All. To him who truly understands this truth hath come great knowledge... As above, so below; as below, so above"
