“I am of the opinion that the amount of time that elapses between conception and birth is, if you will excuse my bluntness, ‘all of it’. That is to say that an entirely unique mode of time obtains in the womb, and that the infant child experiences the entirety of the time that has passed up until their birth, and which point they carry that, speechlessly, into human incarnation. The babe who emerges has spent ‘eternity’ in a bubble whose outward appearance is 9 months of time. Yet the age of the infant is not now and never was 9 months. It is ‘forever’ old. And you can tell, too. Look into its eyes with your own. It is not youth you will see. It is eternity.”
