John 7:6, said to brothers who did not believe in him, and Neville treats the sentence as a statement about two orders of time rather than about a schedule. He is speaking of two entirely different times, two entirely different worlds, two different ages. Your time is always here - the world of Caesar, the wheel, the time that is forever because it recurs. My time is the age in which everything is subject to my imaginative power, tasted in advance by anyone who has ever arrested the moving world within himself and found it stand still. The qualification he keeps is the word fully: my time has not yet fully come, so the speaker is at the brink and not yet across - it takes one more link to break it, for it is all only hanging by a link. That is why the same man can say he has no power over me unless it be given from above while still standing in the world where the power is exercised. About four or five lectures (1074, 1773, 1798, 1823). It supplies the frame for everything Neville says about this age and that age (M930).
