one possibility I recently pondered was based on some general thinking surrounding:
1. the absence of displacement
2. the derivative in Calculus
1. Time is often referred to as the fourth dimension. As such, it provides a basis to think of it as a continuium upon which movement (displacement) can occur. If we are transformed with entry into the Kingdom of God and become part of the omnipresent-ness that pertains to the Spirit of God, then we could consider that we can 'BE' anywhere but to get to there does not require displacement, hence we never experience the reality of time because it no longer has a stage to occur on.
2. The derivative of x as a function that pertains to time, eliminates the influence of time for the purpose of evaluating the function for some specific limit. It takes the influence of time and removes it by evaluating a time-varying function at one specific point. many of us were taught in Calc 1 that we are evaluating the function at smaller and smaller intervals of time, an interval that we will let approach zero --aka, the moment. If everything in the Kingdom of God is IN THE MOMENT, then past and future have no basis for being experienced because the POINT that you are in is indestinguishable from the any other POINT.
I am just sharing some ponderings, not trying to submit anything as revelation.
