that holds them together.
:34:05
And so the main character is,
to this new mind,

:34:11
greater, greater mind.
:34:13
A mind that yet is to be.
:34:16
And when we are obviously
entered into that mode,

:34:19
you can see
a radical subjectivity,

:34:23
radical attunement to individuality,
uniqueness to that which the mind is,

:34:27
opens itself
to a vast objectivity.

:34:30
So the story is
the story of the cosmos now.

:34:33
The moment is not just a passing,
empty nothing yet.

:34:38
And this is in the way
in which these secret passages happen.

:34:42
Yes, it's empty
with such fullness...

:34:47
that the great moment,
the great life of the universe...

:34:52
is pulsating in it.
:34:55
And each one, each object,
each place, each act...

:35:00
Leaves a mark.
:35:02
And that story is singular.
:35:05
But, in fact,
it's story after story.

:35:13
Time just dissolves into quick-moving
particles that are swirling away.

:35:18
Either I'm moving fast or time is.
Never both simultaneously.

:35:22
It's such a strange paradox.
I mean, while, technically,

:35:26
I 'm closer to the end of my life
than I've ever been,

:35:29
I actually feel more than ever
that I have all the time in the world.

:35:33
When I was younger, there was
a desperation, a desire for certainty,

:35:36
Like there was an end to the path,
and I had to get there.

:35:39
I know what you mean
because I can remember thinking,

:35:43
"Oh, someday, like in
my mid-thirties maybe,

:35:48
everything's going to just
somehow jell and settle, just end."

:35:52
It was like there was this plateau,
and it was waiting for me,

:35:55
and I was climbing up it,
and when I got to the top,

:35:59
all growth and change
would stop.
