Is time itself evil?

Why would I ask such an odd question? And what made me even consider this bizarre idea?

As a mathematician, former Hollywood artist, and former, professional software engineer, I’ve long been interested in patterns—patterns of behavior, patterns of physical effects and even patterns in programming code. Patterns can sometimes give us clues as to the consequences of our actions. We know, for instance, that people who are obese tend to have poor eating habits. We also know that they tend to be at risk for dangerous, life-threatening diseases. And this pattern and correlation have a basis in health science.

Throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, I experimented with miracles with startling results. But I only dimly understood the patterns involved. After a few decades of reflection, I keep seeing more and more in the patterns of creation itself. My intelligence, alone, is not enough for such discoveries. I now know that humility is a key ingredient in making any discoveries.

But time, evil?

Think about this for a moment: God created everything. This includes all of the good, the bad and the ugly in our universe. Some Christians have attempted to distance God from evil by saying that individuals create evil; God doesn’t. Okay. Let’s assume for the moment that this is true. Why would God create the potential to do evil? Why would he allow such a thing, enabling the monsters to do their thing?

Why would God put a “Forbidden Fruit” in the Garden of Heaven? What is God’s purpose?

The Darkness of Time—A Key to the Prosperity Engine

When you use the power of spirit, and what some people call the Law of Attraction, you are getting the object of your desire to persist in the physical universe. You start with a mental image (similar to the “Word” God used in the beginning). With the transcendental action of your own spirit, you “ask” for the mental image, and “receive” the physical manifestation of the object of your request.

Getting the object of request to persist (the time dimension) is a function filled with “darkness”—turning awareness and responsibility away from that object. That is the only way it will ever persist. That’s how creation works. In fact, every aspect of the physical universe is opposite the traits of God.

In the Garden, God needed His son to eat the Forbidden Fruit. This is the only way His son could ever learn, on his own, to become a giver, rather than a receiver. Remember, God created us in His image, but it was an obverse image—like a plaster cast of a person’s face. The original face is convex, while the cast is concave. The metaphor beyond this simile is one of equating protrusion to “giving,” and depression (in shape) to “receiving.” As Christ said, it is more blessed to give than to receive.

Only through temptation and suffering can the pieces of Adam (that’s us) ever learn to choose, on our own (free will), between the physical (temporary pleasures) and spirit (timeless pleasures).

It’s ironic that the Leftist media, in at least one of their movies, portrays the “timeless realm” as evil (Dr. Strange). The opposite is true. Time is the evil; the timelessness of spirit is pure, perfect good.

In the physical realm, there are no absolutes. Nothing is perfectly evil, though some things come awfully close. And nothing is perfectly good, either. You have to leave the physical to reach perfection of the good.

This means that we are wallowing in varying degrees of “evil” for every moment we remain in the physical. What a sobering thought that is.

But what does this mean to our Prosperity Engine project?

The Value of Time and the Imperfect Physical Universe

Evil is a tool of contrasts. With evil in the world, we can see more clearly the relative good that exists. And time is a useful tool for helping God’s children learn the lessons for which the physical universe was created in the first place.

Prosperity itself is not any more bad or evil than a rock or a cloud. A person’s attachment to any possession, including symbols of prosperity (money and other objects), deserves the label “evil.” Prosperity, and even time, are tools we can use either responsibly or irresponsibly. Attachment makes us physical and vulnerable. It also focuses our attention on scarcity, instead of infinite abundance. People who are attached (judge the objects as “important”) are frequently pulled into protecting their possessions—even committing crimes to do so. From such attachments, all manner of evils may spring.

Imagine, for a moment, a multi-quadrillionaire who is not attached to their fortune. Instead, they donate and manage their funds for the betterment of others. A Leftist, physicalist may try to tempt the rich man to give away his funds to prove he is “unselfish.” But proof would be selfishly motivated. This is why Christ told those who taunted him not to tempt the Lord God, because asking God for proof of miracles is an attempt to get God to be egoistic (physical). Naughty, naughty!

The multi-quadrillionaire could give away his entire fortune to help others, but only from the viewpoint of responsible spirit, because his actions rest on the infinite prosperity of spirit. And, as spirit, he would be better able to see the intent of the non-spiritual individuals to trick him.

Using money, using these human bodies, and using any of the resources in this physical universe can have an evil purpose or a good purpose. Such actions could even have a divine purpose, so long as people are not attached to their things.

The objective is not to become the richest person and to hold onto that prosperity. The objective is to use the tools of this universe to gain the ultimate in freedom for everyone.

Everything in this universe has a bit of darkness attached to it. The darker it is, the more evil it is. Darkness is a “lack of awareness” and a “lack of responsibility.” Darkness leads to entrapment; responsibility and awareness lead to the ultimate in freedom.

Prosperity Engine Progress

I can only laugh out loud at the bumps in the road I continue to experience. While my conscious mind relies on strong feelings of confidence, love, humility and responsibility, my subconscious has reached “Category 5” levels of egoistic storms. Still lots to clean up.

This morning, I had a dream that included someone cutting me off in traffic. I had to screech on my brakes to avoid slamming into them. In the dream, I zoomed ahead of them and positioned my vehicle in front of theirs facing them. The driver was a middle-aged Asian female and the front passenger was a graying senior. Both looked Chinese or Thai, in a white van with children in the back seats. The driver couldn’t face me directly and kept avoiding my angry gaze. Then, I woke up.

Nasty business, this egoistic conflict. I’m guessing that my dream was revealing to me that I still have a lot of work to do with this topic of conflict and confrontation. I still have a lot more work to do on practicing perfect forgiveness.

With a fully functional Prosperity Engine, I would always operate with abundant time and space, and such confrontation would never happen, because the people around me would never create such situations. Whenever we run into difficulties, we have created those difficulties. If we shirk our responsibility for those difficulties, they will continue to persist!

More and more, I’m finding myself being aware of being aware. Doing this while living my day-to-day life is an interesting challenge, but it acts as a form of “active meditation”—meditation while working and doing other things.

The subconscious continues to spit out all manner of negative thoughts and physical discomfort. But I remain committed to finishing my Prosperity Engine and to helping others build their own. No matter what it takes, I’m going to see this through for the good of everyone in this universe.

Coming Up Next

In the next article, we will look at what I call the “Prosperity Paradox”—overcoming every layer of negativity concerning prosperity. And there is one layer that is powerful—the very act of creation itself has a negative element involved, as we’ve seen discussed in this week’s article. All the more reason not to become attached to any of the prosperity we create. Hoarding clogs up the Prosperity Engine, especially the intake valve.
