Our good God gave us Time to draw us closer to Him, and space to draw us closer to each other. However, we can’t approach God without approaching ourselves, and vice versa, because of this, we have the notion of a spacetime continuum.
As Creator, God is at the center—and beings are on the rays of existence that God maintains through His grace. If God would stop his grace, all beings would simply cease to exist.
Intelligent beings have the possibility of approaching or moving away from these rays. The moment they draw near to God, they also draw closer to one another, getting to truly meet God alone, uniting with Him and with each other, without ever blending.
Because of this, God has given us the spacetime continuum, in which to meet.
