Investment
"Investment is in terms of time, energy and awareness."[1]
The greatest return on investment
"You have a greater life that exists without your self-definition but that needs your assistance and all of your energy for its expression."[2]
"If you really want to find out the Mystery of your life, if that is the direction you choose, then that will draw all of your primary energy. If you wish to be involved in manifest life, then that will draw all of your energy."[3]
"Knowledge within you" … "will seek to engage you in those activities that are most beneficial, forsaking all others that merely rob you of your time, energy and attention."[1]
Investment in romance
"The expectation of romance in relationship exacts an exorbitant price, both immediately in terms of time, energy and attention and in a long range sense."[1]
"A marriage that cannot consummate itself requires a lot of energy. In some ways it leaves a scar on you. There is a sense of failure that abides with divorce, even if divorce has become obviously necessary. That is why we do not wish for people to use marriage for experimentation because as it fails, it uses up your vital energy tremendously and it leaves a scar."[4]
