While we daily meet time as a cycle of being awake and asleep, in the ratio of about 2:1, and yearly as the cycle of the four seasons in temperate zones, it is only in the immediate moment that we directly experience time in the Eternal Now. This understanding is absolutely essential if we are to face the imminent death of our species with equanimity, free of the sense of a separate self.

Mathematicians are not limited by the finite limits of physical space in their studies of the beautiful patterns underlying the Universe, resident in the Cosmic Psyche, inaccessible to our physical senses. For they recognize an infinite number of dimensions of space, growing from 0, 1, 2, 3 to 4 and beyond, with some rather strange properties.

In Integral Relational Logic, measure is the value of an attribute of an entity in a class, as primal concepts, grouped in domains of values, as dimensions. Measures could thus be qualitative or quantitative, as they are in information systems modelling methods in business.

In Panosophy, māyā denotes appearances in the Ocean of Consciousness, as waves and currents on and beneath the surface, inseparable from the Ocean, itself. So, what can be measured is illusory and not Reality, which transcends all distinctions that the categorizing mind might make.

In Integral Relational Logic, a dimension is anything that can be measured, in conformity with its etymology, consisting of a domain of values, as the set of possible values of an attribute in a relation. A dimension is thus qualitative or quantitative, with a selection or finite or infinite range of possible values.
