Once upon a time there was a man who no longer existed in time.

He experienced only the manifestation of eternal archetypes in what, within the limitations of mind occur in time, but freed from mind, eternally was-am-will-be.

He did not always experience things this way. As a small child he was, like the rest of us, caught in the universal time-delusion. He, like the rest of us, lived his life as if it were an unfolding personal story.

But then, one day, an epiphany came to him, eternity irrupted, and from that moment to his death, time was no more.

His friends, still imprisoned in time, witnessed his temporal exit with uncomprehending awe. None of their lives would ever be the same — never again.

His life, however, liberated from time, had always been the same, and always would be.
