Understand that everything is connected to everything else. There is
balance in the Universe. Understand that it is the Great Cosmic
Algebraic Equation --- that what you do on your side of the equation
affects me and the rest of the Universe. It builds up and then comes
back to you. Called the Absolute Law of Cause and Effect (aka Karma),
it allows you the opportunity to learn from your mistakes.
If you
had negative intent (energy) behind your misdeed, that multiplies the
force of the "boomerang effect". If you don't get caught and punished
for criminal misdeeds to help lessen the force of karma, don't worry ---
pay now or pay later. It's sort of a "cosmic layaway plan".
Of
course, this is all because we each and every one of us and every thing
has its own spiritual and unique "fingerprint" (blueprint) called
Spiritual Essence. It manifests on the mental, emotional and physical
levels as elements of your soul. If you don't feel the essence of your
godliness (goodness) because you are so gunked up with karmic crud, that
doesn't mean that it's not there. It merely means that your
negativities have made you insensitive -- like wearing welding gloves
while trying to thread the "eye of the needle" in making moral and
ethical decisions.
Religions attempt to give their followers
rules to follow. But, even the best intended of religions are rigid to
some degree and cannot give you enough detailed specifics to cover every
situation. That's where your inner self (Mighty I Am Presence and Holy
Christ Self) comes in to help you recognize Spiritual Reality.
Note:
Even when you find a spiritual truth, recognize that it is only
applicable when properly connected to the whole Spiritual Truth. It is
too easy for the outer self to take a spiritual truth (piece of the
bigger puzzle) and misapply it.
To illustrate: The devil and a
friend of his were walking down the street, when they saw ahead of them a
man stoop down and pick up something from the ground, look at it, and
put it away in his pocket. The friend said to the devil,"What did that
man pick up?" He picked up a piece of Truth,"said the devil. "That is
very bad business for you, then,"said his friend. "Oh, not at all,"the
devil replied,"I am going to help him organize it."
