Dear Friends, please ask questions about these passages from the great Kabbalists. The commentaries in brackets are mine.

Thought. Movement. Time.

Spiritual movement is not movement from place to place. Rather, it refers to a renewal of form since we denominate every renewal of form by the name “movement.”
– Baal HaSulam, The Study of the Ten Sefirot, Part 1, “Inner Reflection,” Chapter 9

The spiritual definition of time is only a sensation of movements. Our mind pictures and devises a certain number of movements, which it discriminates one by one and translates them like a certain amount of “time.” Thus, if one had been in a state of complete rest with one’s environment, he would not even be aware of the concept of time.
– Baal HaSulam, The Study of the Ten Sefirot, Part One, Inner Reflection, Chapter 9
[52922]
