Me too: The interconnected clock gears that make up the universe are all in motion, in a dance relative to one another. To step outside, find a door and walk through, and enter a different dance.
Me: Where might I find such a door?
Me too: I don't really know, but I hear of them now and again. Some find them in meditation. Some find them during walks in the woods. I would say that if you stepped through one, you might see the big picture - sort of like observing a disk spin from a point above the disk, rather than trying to chart its motion while standing on it.
Me: but suppose I got involved in the relative dance of the "outside place" and failed to notice what I'd come to find?
