321. Choosing a favorite does not devalue the other options.

322. Thus, one may love many differently and choose one to be surrounded by, yet take none of the value, joy, or quality away from any of the others.

323. Is there then a difference between love and commitment? Yes, for one describes the emotion subconsciously extended past all barriers. The other describes the choice of which love to surround oneself with. One may be committed to that which one does not love.

324. Since at rest all things are infinite (262) we approach a state of all-knowingness when we sleep. Thus, our dreams may prove prophetic or give us insight into past and future events.

325. Sleep is our most creative state. If we can achieve the plateau of rest normally achieved in sleep while we wake, our creativity is unblocked and ideas flow unhindered. This is meditation.

326. It is also possible that we may catch glimpses of past or future lifetimes when we encounter people or situation in our current time/space continuum who are or will be sharers of another time/space continuum.

327. Doubt is the birthing stall of fanaticism.

328. The residue of activity of primitive deities may still crop up in the most modern settings. Some seeds take millennia in the soil to germinate. Thus we may find ourselves surprised to discover a temple to the most ancient deity disguised as the most contemporary of scientific institutions.

329. If there are no negative (255) all numeric/geometric functions must have a finite origin.

330. Thus, all things (our geometrically defined universe being a numerical system) have a finite past, even if they have an infinite future.

Editor’s note: Wesley is all over the map in this set, including items that we must deem as relational, creative, and geometric. Into this, he tosses a gem on fanaticism. In Wesley’s book, it is not the true believer who becomes a fanatic, but rather the one who is plagued by doubt.
