5.2 - Focus over Change of Time

Figure 5.2 shows a relationship between time, focus, and effectiveness. How long you focus through a period of time, is expressed as: focus (f) to change of time (Dt). Effectiveness (E) is expressed as directly proportional to focus over change of time (fDt). The longer the focus is on an event within a change of time, can increase a person's effectiveness. The less a person focuses over change of time, the less effective they will be.

What if your focus remains the same and your change of time varies?

It's a summation. It's accumulative, and if the time of focus is broken up, the mental matrix/construct that you are using can be forgotten when you are not using it. You may have to go back and pick up the loose ends. It can be likened to your having stopped knitting a sweater. When you pick it up again, you have to remember how you started and the stitch you were using; how many rows are in the pattern and everything like that. So, it's not the most effective way to do it, and it can be done that way.

The effect of focus over time tends to be accumulative. That's why for some people it may take years to finish a masterpiece, but they kept to that one point focus. They maintain focus on what they want to do.

Focus should be one point: focus on what you want, on what you are going to do. Focus on the event, or an event you wish to occur. This is similar to building something. The effectiveness in the event is the completion and the quality of the structure/project. One point focus had to be maintained.⁸

It's a one-point focus over a change of time. The longer you have focus over change of time, the more effective you become. As the change of time decreases, effectiveness will decrease. If you do not put much time into it, it's not going to be that effective.

It becomes dispersed.

Yes. In Figures 5.2 (3a-f), focus is expressed in another way -- focus is related to total perception (P_S) and total choices (C_S). Making up total perceptions are Truth perceived (T_P) and untruth perceived (T_P).⁹ In the previous chapter it was stated: how much truth is chosen determines how well you function within Absolute and actual realities. How much Truth is chosen is dependent on how much Truth is perceived.

Conversely, how many untruths are chosen is dependent on how many untruths are perceived. Figure 5.2 (3&4) assembles perception and choice as a ratio of the quantity of Truth perceived to the Truth chosen power, divided by the quantity of untruth perceived to the untruth chosen power. This ratio is multiplied by a period of time (Dt).

At this point it should be stated that all the variables used are positive or absolute value -- they are positive. They must be positive or the formula may attempt a radical of a negative number (like square root of negative 2). It also makes the formula easier to understand.

It is also important to remind you there are two separate letter cases when expressing the word Truth. Large case Truth is Absolute Truth(s). Small case truth is relative truth(s). Remember Homework Assignment #3 and how I asked you to categorize the Truth/truth you have found by no exceptions verses one exception. Relative truths will have a degree of untruth within them. This distinction is somewhat important for applying this formula.

Stated in previous chapters, one of the definitions for Truth/truth is: laws by which something works. This means small case truth also refers to the laws by which consensual, imaginary, or individual realities work. The amount of Absolute Truth chosen increases your effectiveness within the Absolute and actual realities. This does not mean you will be effective in a consensual reality. Effectiveness, using Absolutes, in a consensual reality will be dependent on how much and what Absolutes are within the consensual reality. (Are we confused yet?)

When dealing with this formula and the realities involved, it gets to be a real bother for me to have to type: Truth/truth. So I am just going to use lower case truth. If there are Absolutes involved, that is preferred. If not, the word truth is still applicable to consensual and even to imaginary realities.
