I fully agree, Azrael, I definitely wasn't suggesting the end of the octave was the end of our journey, but rather it is still the "end" of something (the octave, obviously). Ra describes it as "consciousness coalescing" back into One, meaning no more separation. Obviously not done, but at that point, no illusion of separation, no experiencing many-ness, and existing as just the Creator.
And obviously, Guardians from the next octave seem to strongly suggest a sort of simultaneity to existence.
I'm just not so easily dismissing the idea of time. Not really because I'm stubbornly holding on to the idea...but from our perspective, the Creator obviously learns. From our perspective, the Creator knows more now than it did at the beginning of this octave, which we measure in time. And so it's hard for me to accept the idea that the Creator realizes all potential instead of just the possibility for infinite potential. And while the Creator isn't done existing at the end of Octaves, it seems to me to be a unified One, still unaware of specific potential.
