Or (as like the block universe): All events exist always. (That is, they can't become, as from non-existence, thus they are ever.)

I suppose that primary and ultimate mean the same here.
September 21, 2019 at 00:28
The emergent scales are not primary.
September 21, 2019 at 00:22
That's all that's left, according to Rovelli, below all that's emergent.

Well, yes, as more and more the brain correlations to qualia are getting tracked.

What more did you find out about God's nature through the divine experiences?

The smallest is the Plank size, the largest is the size of the universe, and the mid-point is about the size of a cell or a mote of dust.

Probably this is referring to the block universe eternalism mode of time.
