Well said NICHOLAS 
Linear time is the event happening between A...... AND   .....
B
Vertical time the event which is the realization of the NOW
.Both 
depend on the wisdom of the moment The ability to do the right
thing 
at the right time and space.
I remember a saying "The pick pocket see a saint approaching 
Yet he see only his pockets."
I hope that perhaps one day not to distant the human race will
be opened 
to a greater reality. he will then approach pleroma and
recognize it.
May the light be with you too.        LUCIO
