I wonder why must one be on time or worry about space limitation?  Can't this wizard of Kabalah pull off a simple trick like expanding space (that was standard in the Bais Hamikdash) or transcend time limitations?
Seriously, though, this is an absolute avla and a prime example of what Pirkei Avos warns not to do:  Do not make the Torah into a crown with which to aggrandize yourself or a spade with which to dig. So too did Hillel state: 'He who uses the crown [of Torah] will pass on' ( 1:13).
