How Can Time and Space Be Illusions?

"You say that time and space are the shining of being refracted through thought and perception. But my experience of time and space feels very real – how can they be illusions? Rupert says: ‘Time and space are not illusions in the sense that they’re unreal. They’re illusions in the sense that they’re not what they appear to be. For the mind, time is a linear progression from past to future; for being, the experience we call “now” is eternity. For the mind, space is an extended dimension; for being, the experience we call “here” is the infinite. Time and space are how being’s eternal, infinite nature appears when filtered through the faculties of thinking and perceiving. They’re not separate dimensions that being exists within; rather, they’re born within being. The “here and now” is a portal through which the mind passes out of time and space into being’s eternal, infinite nature.’"
