Lesson 235. The natural laws of Sir Isaac Newton and karma.

Isaac Newton tells us that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by some external force.  If I go into outer space and throw a baseball, that baseball will continue in motion, in a straight line, forever, unless something stops it.  If I hold a baseball still and motionless in outer space, then let go of it, it will stay of motionless unless some outside force pushes it into motion again.

Karma is the universe's corollary to Isaac Newton's physical law.   Karma is the Sanskrit word for action. It is equivalent to Newton's law of 'every action must have a reaction'. When we think, speak or act we initiate a force that will react accordingly. This returning force maybe modified, changed or suspended, but most people will not be able to eradicate it.

1. The Great Law

“As you sow, so shall you reap.” Also known as the “Law of Cause and Effect.”

To receive happiness, peace, love, and friendship, one must BE happy, peaceful, loving, and a true friend.

Whatever one puts out into the Universe will come back to them.

2. The Law of Creation

Life requires our participation to happen. It does not happen by itself.

We are one with the Universe, both inside and out.

Whatever surrounds us gives us clues to our inner state.

Surround yourself with what you want to have in your life and be yourself.

3. The Law of Humility

One must accept something in order to change it.

If all one sees is an enemy or a negative character trait, then they are not and cannot be focused on a higher level of existence.

4. The Law of Growth

“Wherever you go, there you are.”

It is we who must change and not the people, places or things around us if we want to grow spiritually.

All we are given is ourselves. That is the only thing we have control over.

When we change who and what we are within our hearts, our lives follow suit and change too.

5. The Law of Responsibility

If there is something wrong in one’s life, there is something wrong in them.

We mirror what surrounds us, and what surrounds us mirrors us; this is a Universal Truth.

One must take responsibility for what is in one’s life.

6. The Law of Connection

The smallest or seemingly least important of things must be done because everything in the Universe is connected.

Each step leads to the next step, and so forth and so on. Someone must do the initial work to get a job done. Neither the first step nor the last are of greater significance. They are both needed to accomplish the task. Past, Present, and Future are all connected.
