Chapter 36
Time As Mixture and Space As Purity

He restrains the waters, and they dry out [purity]; he unleashes them,
and they overturn the earth [mixture].

There are deep connections between the concepts of ‘space’
and purity as well as ‘time’ and impurity. However, to fully appreciate
these connections, it is necessary to distinguish between ancient and
scientific concepts of change. These distinctions are needed because
materialism has created a notion of change that includes any type of
modification. Conversely, in non-materialistic cosmologies, there is a
fundamental difference between transformation and formation. The
first is synonymous with the ancient notion of change while the second
could easily be considered the opposite of change.

As illustrated above, formation is a process by which an identity
produces “more of itself and less of the other” by integrating matter.
Like the growth of a tree, this process begins with a singular identity
(seed) that expands into a coherent structure. This is not change in
the ancient sense of transformation, a process that creates “less of
115 itself and more of the other.” Simply stated, change means turning
something into something else, whereas formation means producing a
greater version of something.1 Once these distinctions are understood,
the connections between purity and spatial stability become obvious.
In this context, remaining pure simply implies “staying oneself” by only
integrating elements that correctly support the identity. Conversely,
impurity implies incorporating elements that remain foreign to the
communal identity. Naturally, the reiteration of this process leads to
less of oneself and more of the other, which is the very definition of
change in the sense of transformation.

According to these definitions, the practice of purity is synony-
mous with influences of stability or ‘space,’ and the practice of impurity
is synonymous with influences of change or ‘time.’ Thus, in the Bible,
purity laws maintain the stability and familiarity of “the homeland.”
Conversely, transgressing these laws unleashes a series of transforma-
tions called “flooding the land” and “going into exile.” Thus, exile is not
an arbitrary punishment from God in biblical cosmology. It is simply the
logical consequence of transgressing the “laws of space” in favor of the
“laws of time.” This usually translates into transgressing purity laws in
favor of admixture at the human scale.
