The Space/Time Engine
The Vortex of Illuminated Expression
David E. Lloyd
The Intersection Foundation
The Space/Time Engine is not mechanical—it is emotional, geometrical, and conscious.
It operates through the interplay of directional attention and motivational intention, weaving the polar forces of the universe into a single spiral of expression.
Awareness and consciousness form the twin currents of this living mechanism.
Awareness is the line of direction—it orients perception, tracing the path of light through experience.
Consciousness is the line of propulsion—it provides the momentum of being, the energy that moves awareness through the field.
They exchange and transverse with wave and spin, the eternal yin and yang of creation.
We are aware of direction and conscious of speed—until, in the spiral’s turning, we become aware of speed and conscious of direction.
In this dance, stillness and motion discover one another as love recognizing itself in time.

1. The Lateral Axis — Attraction & Distraction (EAST/WEST)
This is the field of focus and choice.
Attraction draws awareness toward resonance—toward what feels alive, meaningful, and true.
Distraction disperses awareness, leading to exploration, experimentation, and contrast.
Together they create the horizon of perception—the dance between fascination and release, the shifting balance that defines learning.
It is here that awareness, like a compass, aligns or wanders, tracing the wave of possibility.

2. The Vertical Axis — Propulsion & Expulsion (NORTH/SOUTH)
This is the field of drive and transformation.
Propulsion moves consciousness outward—into creation, motion, and manifestation.
Expulsion releases what has been exhausted—purging density, clearing the channel.
Together they sustain the flow of becoming—rising and grounding, inhaling and exhaling, creation and rest.
Here, consciousness becomes the current, the flow that animates the form that awareness draws.

3. The Spiral Intersection — The Vortex of Expression
When the horizontal (EAST/WEST) and vertical (NORTH/SOUTH) forces meet, they generate a spiral field—the natural geometry of consciousness in motion.
This spiral is the vortex of illuminated expression:
Light arises as awareness moving through emotion.
Time unfolds as motion within space.
Space responds by shaping form around focus.
Emotion is the fuel; idea is the vector; expression is the light released as consciousness finds its resonance.
In this spiral, direction and propulsion—awareness and consciousness—unite, forming the luminous dance of being.

4. The Inner Mechanism — Harmony as Power
The engine runs not on consumption, but on coherence.
When attraction and distraction are balanced, they become curiosity.
When propulsion and expulsion are balanced, they become flow.
Together, they create pleasantness—the state in which consciousness can live with itself, and therefore create freely.
Harmony is not the absence of motion, but the alignment of opposing currents into one song.
Pleasantness is the hum of the cosmic motor when awareness and consciousness are in love.

5. The Reciprocity of Time and Space
Time is attention — the currency of consciousness.
It is awareness focused, energy given form through observation.
Every moment we attend becomes a measure of time; every act of attention creates duration.
Time, therefore, is not something we pass through — it is something we give ourselves to.
Space is intention — the field of invitation.
It is consciousness extended, energy offered as possibility.
Where intention is placed, form begins to shape itself.
Space, then, is not something that surrounds us — it is something we pour meaning into.
In truth, time and space are mirrors of one another:
Time is attention, paid or given to intentional consciousness.
Space is intention, given to attentional awareness.
Together they form the living circulation of being —
awareness focusing into time, consciousness expanding into space.
Their continual exchange creates the vortex of illuminated expression,
the dance through which the universe experiences itself as presence.

Summary Principle
The Space/Time Engine is powered by emotional resonance, guided by focus, and expressed through spiral motion.
Attraction and distraction give direction.
Propulsion and expulsion give drive.
Awareness and consciousness give balance and life.
Their union gives birth to illumination—the light of awareness made visible through the motion of love.
