239. In the same way as it is not possible for the individual to experience the true Godhead in temporal values, neither is it possible for him to experience his own true cosmic analysis as long as he is only sensing movements in relation to other movements.
For example, if he perceives himself only as a
"mortal being", that is to say a being who has had a beginning and will one day cease to exist, then he is perceiving only the relationship of movements to movements and obtains
a temporal value instead of
an eternal value.
He is again the victim of illusion and accepts a movement as a "fixed point".
In this case the illusory "fixed point" was his single physical life,
that life constituting just a collection of movements and changes.
In the same way as he cannot fundamentally or in actuality experience the Godhead in temporal values, neither can he experience himself fundamentally or in actuality in those values.
As long as the individual experiences movements as reality he knows only unreality.
As long as he accepts movements as "fixed points" he does not understand what "fixed points" are.
However, the individual has to be subjected to such an existence as long as he is able to sense only movements, in other words, sense only in terms of the physical world in time and space.
