I don't know, this is why I asked.  I heard it recently in the TV series 
Babylon 5.  It seems to be the philosophy of the Minbari, but I am fairly 
certain that the writer(s) got it from someplace else.  I am looking to 
find the true origin of the idea.

->     I didn't find that quote in his
-> book, _The River Why_ but I found a wealth of others.  

-> Anyhow, the concept of eternity realizing itself in time is not an 
-> unusual one nor is it original.

I had already realized that, but would still be interested to find out who 
said it first.
