313. Now we have reached the I's very highest viewpoint where everything that exists or is known in the world, everything coming under the concept "X3", lies beneath us. At the highest level of our I there is no time, but an everlasting "now". Past and future are products of the I's creation, as are the concepts of space and location. So the I's true nature cannot be described as being in a certain place, because it is quite outside space. Distances and places are "created" attributes of space. But as space is also a product "created" by the I, then the I itself must constitute a higher form of being. And as this form of being exists outside "created" things, it is non-manifest. But a non-manifest existence must, in itself, be a nameless entity, for, whatever one might say about it, one's statements could never be anything but definitions of "created" things, that is to say, things existing in time and space, things created by the I. If we say of this or that, it is "good" or "bad", that it is "light" or "dark", that it is "saved" or "lost", all these expressions refer only to created situations brought about by the I, and consequently cannot constitute the true analyses of the I's own nature itself, outside time and space, beyond all forms and created things. That such a form of being does none the less exist, is a fact that cannot, however, be ignored, for otherwise it would be "created" things which created their creator. But such a concept can only be abnormal for it is contrary to logic and refuted by all life's phenomena. One has yet to see that the creator does not precede the created. Cause must precede effect. To assert the contrary would only be to maintain an "imagined contrast to reality"; it would be to assert that life runs backwards. But such an assertion cannot be verified. One has yet to see a chick returning to the egg and the egg re-entering the hen, just as we have yet to see an old person getting younger and younger until he ends up as a baby in a cradle and then returns to his mother's womb. Everywhere and in everything life itself is shouting and calling with thunder and lightning flashes that just the opposite is the case. The entire Universe exists solely to confirm as a fact the analysis of the I being beyond time and space.
      But such an eternal existence, outside time and space, such a nameless reality means nothing in itself. If matter did not exist, if the I could not indirectly reveal its existence through it, and furthermore through this visible existence directly reveal its consciousness, its will and intellectual standard, disclose its wishes and desires, then its eternal being and sublime nature – so different from matter – could never in any way be transformed into thought, consciousness and experience. Its eternal divine nature and being would exist only in a completely lifeless state. Everywhere death would be an absolute reality, while now it constitutes merely an "imagined opposite to life".
