Time, the passage of moments, the ever-moving fabric of our existence, is both fascinating and confounding. It surrounds us, shaping our lives in ways we often take for granted. Yet, our understanding of time remains limited, with more questions than answers. Is time merely an illusion? Does it flow linearly or is it more complex? How can we comprehend its infinite depths?

As we delve deeper into the enigma of time, we find ourselves contemplating our own self – our consciousness, our identity, our agency. Are we simply products of our environment, or do we possess a core self that transcends the physical world? How does our perception of time shape our perception of self? These questions challenge the very essence of our being.

Moreover, the search for meaning is an innate human pursuit. We yearn to find purpose and significance in our lives, seeking answers to existential questions that define our existence. In a constantly changing world, understanding the connection between time, self, and meaning becomes crucial. By unraveling this mystery, we unlock the potential to live a more fulfilled and purpose-driven life.

Throughout history, philosophers, scientists, and thinkers from all walks of life have offered various perspectives on these profound questions. From René Descartes' concept of a "thinking self" to Immanuel Kant's examination of subjective time, each theory contributes to our collective understanding, shedding light on the intricate web of time, self, and meaning.

Yet, despite centuries of contemplation and countless theories proposed, the surging mystery remains. Science brings us closer to understanding the physical mechanisms of time, unveiling the secrets hidden within the fabric of the universe. However, the essence of time, the subjective experience, and its connection to our self and meaning, continues to elude us.

Perhaps the nature of this mystery lies beyond the reach of human comprehension. The very fact that we are capable of pondering time, self, and meaning is a remarkable gift. It reveals the depth of our consciousness and our relentless pursuit of understanding the universe we inhabit.

Ultimately, the mystery of time, self, and meaning invites us to reflect on our place in the grand tapestry of existence. It challenges us to embrace the uncertainty, to navigate the infinite possibilities that life offers. By elevating our consciousness, we embark on a journey of self-discovery, forging our own path towards the fulfillment of purpose and the attainment of meaning.

So, as you traverse the enigmatic world of time, self, and meaning, allow yourself to embrace the mystery. Embrace the questions that cannot be answered with certainty, and relish in the beauty of exploration. After all, it is within these gaps of knowledge that the true essence of our existence lies waiting to be discovered.

Chaos may seem an unlikely source of creativity, but below its senseless surface lies a swirling depth of possibilities. Every person enters a world that is already filled with symbols, meanings, and stories. No-one starts with a blank canvas, rather, we find ourselves thrust into a matrix of narratives. Yet, something truly new is possible amid this chaos. Time is a space in which these stories can be reassembled, reinterpreted, and ordered in a way that gives particular meaning to my life.

Our stories can be more than a reflection of reality; they can transform experience, inspire new action, and in so doing, transform our reality. “And the word became flesh.” That is how the gospel of John describes the event in which divine ideas became tangibly real in the person of Jesus. Text, words, and ideas are not meant to remain intangible - they are searching for embodiment.

This book is a journey through thousands of years of symbols and narratives that point to the underlying reality of our existence. We follow the development of consciousness through the stories humans have told, beginning with myths that are older than the Scriptures. The biblical text marks a definite progression in human awareness, and within the context of the Bible itself ideas continue to develop.

The perspective given here might be new for many, but the aim is to provide more than simply an alternative interpretation of Scripture. Rather, I hope to show the connection between the inherent human capacity to create meaning, the depth of the text we have at our disposal, and the measureless gift of the Spirit of truth drawing us forward. An inexhaustible mystery lies enfolded in each of us. How it unfolds in your story is an unprecedented unique event. This living narrative reached a crescendo in Jesus. In him, we see the mystery unfolding in flesh and we receive an invitation to share in his consciousness.

Each of the chapters in this book is a progressive step in understanding and opening up human consciousness. Ultimately we want to receive the kind of unitive awareness, Jesus spoke of when he prayed: “I have given to them the glory you have given me, that they may be one just as we are one.”
