Merciless Heropass - (2201)

Heropass is Time

Here begins a few posts on time.

This is a very important subject and one which is worth knowing about so as aid us in reaching a certain level comprehension about it, so that we can better orient our lives and spiritual work.


Excerpts

The following excerpts come from Gurdjieff’s book: “Belzebub’s Tales to His Grandson.”

First Point – Heropass or Time Has no Source of Arising

Heropass

"Thus, my boy, Time or, as it is sometimes called, the 'Heropass,' is unique in having no source on which its origin depends, and it alone, like "divine Love," always flows independently and blends proportionately with all the phenomena present in all the arisings in any given place in our Great Universe.

No Source for its Arising

"Meanwhile, simply remember this: since Time has no source of its arising, and its presence cannot be precisely established, as can be done for all other phenomena in every cosmic sphere, Objective Science has, for its examination of Time, the same 'standard unit' that is used to determine exactly the density and quality, in the sense of the vivifyingness of their vibrations, of all cosmic substances present in every place and in every sphere of our Great Universe.”

What this Means

Gurdjieff uses a very complicated sentence structure to explain things, and finally getting to what he is saying that the above excerpt is that time does not come from anywhere. Magnetism has a source and we can measure the strength of magnetic fields, electricity has a source and we can measure it Volts and Amperes, heat has a source and we can measure it’s temperature and energy, but when it comes to time there is no source for it at all. The source is actually our own mind. We have invented time but what really exists in the way of things related to time has to be assigned by us or someone and not as an independent arising.

Time as we know it and conceive it does not really exist. Time is not absolute but relative.

End (2201).
