Cone Cosmogony
The first image is from https://www.facebook.com/headexchange. The second has been modified to include the Multisense Realism model.
Specifically, “Me” has been removed from the center of the mandala and turned into part of the z axis. The center of the wheel is now Form-Function, and Now, indicating that consciousness is at its most pointillistic and fragmented. This would be the sharpest, most systematizing-autistic quality of consciousness, quantitative and reductionistic.*
The diameter of the circles corresponds to space or distance (really wavelength ratio/scale), so that the wheel represents a flat cross section of eternity. Time is the diagonal axis which is can be thought of as the z axis ‘deferred’. If our experience (feeling, thought, etc) extends from eternity to now as a qualitative spectrum (as symbolized by the chakra graphic), then ‘time’ is the interference pattern between eternal experience and fully public, discrete events.
The top of the cone is labeled eternity, although it is eternity in the sense of the eternal moment rather than a linear history of time. Eternity can also be called the Absolute, or God, Tao, Consciousness, Aesthetic Foundation, and many other names. Identifying with the Absolute while still in our body is the opposte end of the consciousness spectrum – the most colorful, florid, artistic-empathic-psychotic range of awareness.

Multisense Realism 
If we consider the shape of the cone as dynamic rather than static, the relation between the quality of consciousness and the spacetime can be considered in a natural way. The longer the cone, the more time is experienced as being perpendicular to space, while the shallower the cone, the more time is measured as being parallel to space. This accounts for the difference between our naive perception of time as non-spatial and our naive measurement of time by material instruments as relativistic and directionless.
