When is time manifest?

I have been able to do what you so much desired—

To find the boy who came out accidentally by drowning.

As you looked at his photograph, I saw it through your eyes and carried away the memory of his face. 

I found him wandering about, quite bewildered. 

When I spoke to him of you, and said that you had asked me to help him, he seemed surprised.

I was able to give him a little aid, though he has a friend here—an old man who is nearer to him than I could ever be. 

He will gradually adjust himself to the new conditions.

The little help I was able to give was in the nature of information. 

He needed diversion from a too-pressing thought, and I suggested one or two ways of passing time, which are both agreeable and instructive.

You wonder at the expression passing time? 

But time exists out here. 

Wherever there is sequence, there is time. 

There may come a time, when all things will exist simultaneously, past, present, and shall we say future? 

But so long as past, present and future are more or less distinct, so long time is. 

It is nothing, but the principle of sequence. 

Did you fancy it was anything else?

Interiorly, that is, deep within the self, one may find a silent place where all things seem to exist in unison, but as soon as the soul even there attempts to examine things separately, then sequence begins.

The union with the All is another matter. 

That is, or seems to be, timeless, but as soon as one attempts to unite with, or to be conscious of things, time is manifest.
