Time

*TIME - see SEASON, HOUR , STILL, SILENCE

Timing means prevention - "Deal with the difficult while it is still easy. Solve large problems while they are still small. (Tao 63)." (Tao Peace, p168)

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven. (Ecc 3:1)

Take time to work - it is the price of success.

Take time to think - it is the source of power.

Take time to play - it is the secret youth.

Take time to read - it is the foundation of knowledge.

Take time to worship - it is the highway of reverence and washes the dust of the earth from our eyes.

Take time to help and enjoy friends - it is the source of happiness.

Take time to love - it is the sacrament of life.

Take time to dream - it hitches the soul to the stars.

Take time to laugh - it is the singing that helps life's loads.

Take time to plan - it is the secret of being able to have time to take for

the first nine things. (???)

Take time to smell the roses (???)

The extraordinary and altogether paradoxical secret is that the Final Release is "always already" accomplished. Step off the cycle of time altogether, and find the Timeless there from the start, ever-present from the very beginning and at every point along the way, with no deviations (see TAO) whatsoever. Hegel says: "The absolutely Good is externally accomplishing itself in the world; and the result is that it need not wait upon us, but is already in full actuality accomplished."
