EternityEternity is long enough for a joke. - With Hermann Hesse Eteeernity is for quick ones too. Eternity is not something that begins after you're dead. It is going on all the time. We are in it now. - Charlotte Perkins Gilman Solid forewarnings fit for the love-life may also suit the after-life a lot in the Here-Now. A human life is a schooling for eternity. - Gottfried Keller Eternity's Sun may indeed rise. I have been blessed to see visions of eternity; and events in my future that have been important for me to foresee, have been revealed to me. - Clayton Christensen
Further Thoughts to ConsiderThe Eternal Spirit may be said to exist during all moments in time. Despair beyond is a bad thing to avoid by living well here in time while on earth, accruing merit, according to Buddha's counsel. The concept of 'time' matters in the great Here-and-Now. To some, eternity seems like being for a limitless amount of time. Others use it to refer to the timeless being alighting on past, present, and future time - and both outside time and inside time. The "endless knot," used in Tibetan Buddhism, is one symbol of eternity, among others.

Gitt, Werner. 2001. Time and Eternity (Zeit und Ewigkeit). Neptune, NJ: CLV. ⍽▢⍽ Before his retirement, the information scientist Werner Gitt (1937-) was Head of the Department of Information Technology at the German Federal Institute of Physics and Technology (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt). What is time? Science is unable to answer this question, tells Dr Gitt. Even so, he seeks to present a concept for understanding time. A surprise to some! The third part of the book deals with human constructs of eternity. However, if time itself cannot be explained tolerably well by a scientist, eternity seems out of his explain-reach too. In the light of such main points, Gitt seems too pretentious and obstinate to "doctrinate". His creationism is not mine.
