So, being beyond time and space does not grant you immeasurable speed, is “time” the same as “linear time”?
If it is not the same, what are the characteristics that distinguish these two terms?
 
Time can mean linear or non-linear, a linear time is just a time that has a linear order.
(Past→Present→Future.)
 
Being “beyond time and space” is too vague on its own to be a quantifiable statement. It could give immeasurable though under the right context.
 
Well to be simple it's just something that is not linear like Past→Future→Present or something like all of them all in one.

(Pretty sure self reference engine is a verse example of non linear time.)
Can you explain to me how it looks, for example? Or do you mean that present, past, and future can be mixed (be one)?
 
Yes, another example is Future→Past→Present

What I'm trying to imply here is that the future comes 1st than the past and the past comes before the present which is a incorrect order compared to linear time.
Oh now, I understood it
