eternity has to do with qualitative fullness

John 17 vs 3  And this is life eternal, that they might know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

Coinherent love is the love of the Trinity, Father Son and Holy Spirit mutually giving and receiving eachother in fullness.  Holding nothing back from the other.  An infinite cascade of incarnation each within the other.

Eternity is not a quantitative substance (ie unlimited bigness - materialism), it is a qualitative substance (ie unlimited love and perfection - personhood).  It is seen in God fully incarnating within our realm in Christ Jesus.  It is seen in  Christ's death on the cross  holding nothing back, but giving himself fully for other.  Eternity is Fullness.

This is our heritage as sons and daughters of God, but  it is foreign to us.  We have forgotten who we are.   

What exists in him (The Father) is knowledge, which was revealed so that forgetfulness might be destroyed and that they might know the Father, Since forgetfulness existed because they did not know the Father, if they then come to know the Father, from that moment on forgetfulness will cease to exist. 

Valentinus - Gospel of Truth

Our consciousness is caught up in knowing material realities.  We do not have true Gnosis, we  do not  know the Father, unless  we know with coinherent love.

The Father is very close - in Christ he is incarnated within us, yet we do not yet recognise Him.  

When we truly know the Father can we know ourself and know eternity, and participate in the eternal dance of coinherence that exists within the Father.  The dance  also exists within us, because He is within us and we are in Him.

Joh 17:21  that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe that You have sent Me.  22  And I have given them the glory which You have given Me, that they may be one, even as We are one, 23  I in them, and You in Me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that You have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me.
