Could you explain this sentence? 

Also, how does including the disjunction of "just happened" and "about to
happen" establish the "eternal" nature of events? Are we discussing an "always
happening" that touches upon manifestation only at certain points? So that the
virtual and manifest planes are like two rippling surfaces that turbulently
touch each other, and a virtual plateau that is "always happening" impinges
like a three-dimensional solid onto flatland onto the manifest plane in such a
way that it divides into "just happened" and "about to happened"? Or are there
even more temporalities into which it divides? Would these be according to the
perceivers? At the car accident, 4 human witnesses, 26 ants, 6 birds, 2 bees,
3 plants, one tic, and a partridge in a pear tree? So eachly of these eachly
perceives "the" event, so that we really have AT LEAST 42 events here, at
least on the manifest plane???
