…o dissolution vile, Fades as the royal truth is known : Though change and sorrow range and roll , There is no self - there is no soul !? TIME AND SPACE One question still remains before we dismiss the question of Time and Space , and that is their homo geneity and accidental reality in the Ego .

Space is Geometry : Time is Arithmetic , i.e. , the geometrical conception , the mathematical conception . Thus , if I a blue pig ten times , that think of is ten blue pigs ; yet in Space there is but one blue pig .

…the sure and certain hope that if he so will , it will guide him to that great and glorious transfiguration he so ardently desires . روا TIME Kant , as we have seen , places both Time and Space in the realm of the à priori ; a realm utterly devastated by Crowley's scepticism . Spencer in answering the questions , What is Space ? What is Time ? replied , “ Space is the abstract of all relations of co - existence . Time is the abstract of all relations of sequence .” These definitions have been found wanting , chiefly on 1 Absolute Relativism , p…

Space and Time are therefore the indispensable conditions of all sensation , and according to Kant are not deducible from experience , consequently they are à priori .
