The Discourse of Time

Since we are souls, we have an intimate experience of time as we go through our sequential thought processes. To say that our thinking is discursive is indeed just to say that it happens in time. On this new theory, if you pledge to love someone forever, you aren't strictly speaking pledging to love them eternally. You're only promising to love them at every moment in the future. Platinian eternity doesn't mean at every moment, whether past, present or future, it means timelessness.
