281. Spiritually, we must occasionally risk what we believe in order to gain enlightenment on what we do not know.

282. Thus knowledge itself is relative to the frame of reference of the known.

283. It does not “take time” to travel from one place to another. (112, 254) Rather, the journey creates the time.

284. Life is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

285. Einstein’s Theory of Relativity also shows that a clock in motion runs more slowly than when at rest. (102-112, 242)

286. Thus, journey one half hour at the speed of light away from the earth and return at the same speed and several decades will have passed on earth by the time you return, even though by your own clock, only one hour has passed.

287. As soon as something has been thought of and made real in the mind, it becomes necessary for it to exist. (284)

288. It is possible to repeat oneself any number of times and be original each time. Many paths not taken before may lead to the same destination.

289. People of great intellect seldom tire of each other. People of little intellect seldom tire of each other. But people of moderate intellect seem to attract boredom in every kind of relationship.

290. Emotion is similar to a pinwheel. As you move in the same direction as the flow of the pinwheel, the emotions are weaker and spread further apart. You have a feeling of stability, with only minor fluctuations in emotions.
