A retrograde loop of two events A and B. Event B predisposes event A, so that A be the cause of B. Causality seems to be temporarily violated, but in fact both events occur, in a sense, simultaneously, so that there is no causal relation between them. It is the loop itself which connects both events.
1.
Events are not point-like
2.
They are objects with dimensions
3.
There is no certain future nor a fixed past
4.
We pick up memories with reference to yesterday
5.
We hope for the future but tomorrow never comes
6.
We stretch our mind to encompass all directions
7.
We refer to the future and the past always at
present-
8.
Thus the extended present
9.
Events are not causal by themselves
10. And
they always occur at two phases
11. Firstly
an effect comes forward
12. While
the cause runs backward
13. Both
processes occur simultaneously
14. Is
there an object without observation?
15. Is
there any observer without an object to observe?
16. Is
consciousness the object which observes itself?
17. We
focus attention on an object at a certain point
18. The
margins of the object become obscure
19. Is
there anything beyond the blind spot?
20. We
close our eyes and empty our mind
21. A
face in the darkness is watching us
22. Is
this the same face we were looking for?
