The body is what determines my existence in the chronotope, it is the formula of my embodied time. The body denotes my presence in reality, changing along with the experience of this reality. The body bears the stamp of everything experienced, it is a shell, a signboard, a presentation of the soul. The soul is held by the body in the structure of a single eventfulness. The body provides the soul with a history - having a beginning, development and an end. The body manifests the border between the soul - I - and everything else, thereby giving the soul the opportunity to be - to be an independent, expressed unit. To have a border between itself and the world. The body does not simply contain the soul - it itself is the soul, manifested in time. Without a body, without a border, the soul is inseparable from everything else, it does not exist. Existence is conditioned by time, time manifests itself as a border. The border between Everything and I. My body is my time.

On both sides of the border is space. In one direction, an infinitely expanding universe filled with planets and stars, in the other direction, the same, but infinitely decreasing bio-universe, filled with cells and atoms occurring in time. And the starting point of all this is me, expressed through my body. I observe how the world happens in me and outside. I launch the mechanism of existence with my presence. I limit the time of existence of everything by my existence in it. The world comes from me and in me, and happens while I separate myself from the world.
