                %ETERNAL KNOWLEDGE MOMENT OBJECTIVE+870604
                              %PRESENCE REALITY NOW 870604

     In  this eternal moment you are present to me,   even
though  absent.    We  know each other in ways we  do  not
understand, accepting each other's presence as real beyond
measure  or control.   Here in this eternal moment objects
are  abstractions created by artificial consensus  through
the  filtration of but a tiny fraction of the  experiences
which we know in the eternal now.  This which we know here
in  this now is more real than are abstract objects  which
do  not  threaten  the desire to  be  in  control  through
understanding.    Here  and now we understand  each  other
without  the desire to control.  We are free to know  each
other as we are,  rather than as we would be to each other
in  appearances.    Her we are not deceived  by  contrived
appearances of objective reality.

     What  we know here and now is but an  abstraction  to
those who are controlled by the desire to be in control of
all appearances.  They can not now know what we experience
because of  their duty and desire  to  be  in control.  In
objective reality the eternal now can only be inferred  as
an  abstraction,  to be yearned for as the fulfillment  of
desires which can not be confessed.   In objective reality
such a confession would lead to intolerable vulnerability,
and  so to insecurity through the lack of  total  control.
In objective reality  the  reality  of such insecurity can
not  be  controlled  through   objective understanding and
manipulation.  Such insecurity can not be made objectively
real  without expanding insecurity for all to whom  it  is
manifested;   something  which  all insecure  people  fear
greatly, and avoid at all costs.  They can not meet in the
eternal  now where each is present  to each other  without
pretense or control of appearances.

     In  our eternal moments we are mutually vulnerable in
secure  ways which transcend the conceptions of  objective
reality which are  created by those who would control each
other's   perceptions   through  appearances   which   are
apparently under  their own control.    In our intimacy we
are  more  secure  than are  those  who  seek  to  achieve
security  can  know.  Our  knowledge  can  not   be   made
objectively real,  because it  entails vulnerability which
is  feared  by those who seek to  be  in  control  through
objective understanding.
