Bound by the relative, the body and its consciousness, we try to use relative tools to describe an absolute event. Recessional velocity is not bound by "c", the speed of light in space during our steady state at or near maximum universal expansion. We look at the expansion of space itself, not at a movement within. This is a mental process, "a Process in Mind" and may be compared to the loading of files. However, in our simplified look at big bang or "BB" for short, it still would be okay to ask: "If recessional velocity v equals c, the speed of light at the time t equals BB, what was the velocity a second before?" The answer is: "In the point in God's Mind which gives rise to Life in Creation, standing in perfection and completion in His never-changing Mind, the begin and the end are balanced." With that we mean that the complexities within become complimentary, and while the direction of absolute time at τ = 0 is turned around, relative time forms its separate loop around the centre. This is so in eternity. One is the mirror image to the other. The begin and the end meet. "Identical soup" if you like. But if you insist God is out of the question in our debate and should not enter the equation, then we have to live with the unimaginable, unexplainable rise of space and time, together with the energy of all matter, from zero to the velocity of light (or whatever,- in reality much higher) while the "Light of Creation" was switched on with a "Bang", and which sound and grumble still can be heard around the universe, today, at maximum universal expansion. This is the first, or "original" Step in Mind which holds all frequencies within. "BANG!" (We feel we are in the presence of God.) There is nothing wrong with saying so, or feeling ashamed of our Father Who is our Source.
