“The total present, the eternal present of the mystics, is stasis or non-duration. Expressed in spatial symbols, the non-durational eternal present is immobility.” [^1] This analysis of Indian symbolism provides the link between expressions of the divine that transcends past and future, as well as descriptions of the divine as “stable”. This should not have been too difficult of a connection to make as stable means unchanging. Up: [[Symbolism of Time]] [^1]: Mircea Eliade, *Images and Symbols*, 81.
