Time and Love

*******

Anyone can say anything about her love, about whom she loves. But it is how a person spends her time that shows what and who she really is. That in which you invest the most of your time is your most important subject, your "religion." For some people, it is worry, regret, fear, and other negative states. For the person of wisdom, her most important investment is Love.

She truly, practically loves others in the only way possible. This is not pretty poetry or claims or statements. It is by spending her time on those whom she loves.

You love most the persons on whom you spend most of your time. If you spend no time with a "loved" person, in what real, practical sense is she being "loved"? Time is the gold of the cosmos. We love most those with whom we share the gold.:)

Spiritual Uses of Time

*******

"Bad" karma occurs when you voluntarily, intentionally, deliberately cause pain or discomfort for another person. Then, the pain must return upon you.

Love prevents our "sowing the seeds" of bad karma. Good karma is, of course, the opposite: It is joy and peace that arise from creating these conditions for other people: Exactly what you do will come back upon you. If, for example, as a nurse, you help others to be more comfortable, and to heal better, this is the seed of good karma.

In the Homeworld, people are very sexually active. For this is one of the greatest biological pleasures. But, as explained in the book, there is no reproduction. A person can have the experience of having children, if that is her idea of a "good time." (Usually, it is not.) But she can do this only in a place in the Homeworld called the Theater, in virtual reality, which is just as psychologically "real" as true experience. But it is not, in fact, real in the world.

Staying up late to study might not be your best bet, as it can have deleterious (negative) effects on the body. Your best idea is to create a schedule in which each hour of the twenty-four is assigned a task on paper.

You must give quality time and attention to [your infant son]. This cannot and must not be ignored, as it is your major cosmic and spiritual assignment. (This is why having another child is not a good idea right now.) But make sure that you do not "waste" time with tv, music, phone, and other serious distractions. You can often use an hour for only one thing, and cannot do two things at once. Make sure that you create time for your infant son, study, and rest.
