B. Shelley “Since everything is without substance, sustain the joke of the absurd.” — Longchenpa “Luminous mind is the actual condition of everything.” — Longchenpa Foreword Reality is timeless so the question “When?” can never be answered. If you can’t say when something arises you can’t claim to know that it arises. You might speculate that birth and death happen now , simultaneously—but timelessness erases even that. Now thoughts, whether “of” time or timelessness or anything else, have no actual extension in space or time, and therefore no content.
