Beyond Space - A Book about the Angels by Fr. Pascal P. Parente

.

Interestingly, a book on Angelology is titled, Beyond Space.

The text includes the concept of Beyond Time, as well.

 

What this book suggested to me, is that eternity, far from being a static state,
is dynamic.  Things happen in eternity, but not in a sequential timeline, as we experience change
in our universe.

 

We cannot of course comprehend such a timeless state, nor one without space.

 

Indeed, IMO, space-time-energy-matter (STEM) is a single thing.  We divide it according to
our experience.

 

I picture STEM as a block of reality which includes all of space and all of time,
but a block which "quivers" so to speak, or undulates, through meta-space and meta-time.

 

This, in turn, allows the future to escape the constraints of determinism, and gives us free will.

 Of course, this is all metaphysical speculation.
