Laws of NatureWho was the man that sat under the tree, an apple fell on him, and he suddenly realized, 'Apples don=t fall up - they fall down!'. Wow! A discovery was made about a law of nature we simply took for granted for millions of years. Lately humans are 'discovering' more and more fascinating laws of nature, and each time we honour ourselves as the 'discoverer'. These laws, and thousands yet 'undiscovered' are all part of the Dharma of God - the divine rule that creates and maintains the universes. [what is karma?] [what is dharma?] [what is reincarnation?] Magnetism, Adhesion, Cohesion, Energies, Citta - Prana - Akasa,This is not a science lesson, and the author will not assume that he can provide one. This is a call on all to help think about the various laws of nature that are each so very necessary to maintain that fine balance which marks the workmanship of God the Creator. We are yet in baby shoes regarding discoveries and manipulations of the forces of nature. We are learning to manipulate gravity, electro magnetism, DNA, RNA, and other fascinating stuff - we just HAVE to keep ourselves busy discovering more and more about how God makes things - like Father like son, we just have to tinker in the workshop. Following is a brief discussion of some less known but highly important laws of nature that pertain particularly to the human quest, karma, dharma and reincarnation.
KarmaKarma is the law of action and reaction in motion, the eternal law of cause and effect. Throw a pebble into a still pond, like you would throw a thought or action into the universes, and watch the rings upsetting the surface as the message travels wider and wider throughout the pool - and then come back, narrower and narrower, gathering information and force as it finds the point of entry of the thought/action/pebble and reacts appropriately. This is the result of every thought and action, duty done and duty refused, which we cause. The reaction to our actions is there to help us along on the Way to perfection. If the action was a specifically bad one, then we should expect those ripples in the pond to return and provide us with an appropriately severe blow, repeatedly, to help us to eventually learn to do things differently. And if the action was a specifically good one with the intention of scoring some brownie points with the karmic computer and with society, says Jesus, we have received our due reward in public acknowledgment and no plus points are added to our database. Is this where the idea of God sitting with a big book, recording things, comes from...I wonder?
Dharmadharma with the small 'd' is that duty you inherently know is your=s to perform during this incarnation, (or at this point in time). Before you or your society have had a chance to lie to you or condition your mind, deep down, you actually knew all along the truth about your duty. We are all here to learn lessons, to get to know our true nature, to learn more about knowing God, and we can only do this by living out the love we get - by serving. But each individual comes into this life with past experiences that call for specific tasks to be performed to gain the maximum benefit from this life. In the mission briefing before we came in to this world we were told what these things are. We can get more information in this regard by tuning in to the CB radio where Jesus and team serves - but we forgot. Deep down we know what our duty is, and deep down we know what we should particularly do for this life B but many forget, and the noise interference on the inner line is so bad that our modems just hear gibberish when our divine helpers try to help. We need to tune in properly. This is perhaps the first part of knowing dharma. Only then will we hear clear. Dharma with the big >D= is the Duty of the Divine to uphold the universes. God creates the universes for our sake, God is love, and God necessarily has a duty to uphold the universe for as long as God desires creation to exist. The Divine Dharma thus becomes the Divine Law that upholds the universes, even as the children play in the house and mess things up - God may just give us a spanking for being irresponsible, for messing with nature, but in the end all will be upheld. Dharma means; the eternal law that governs, upholds and supports the creation and the world order. It also means duty, righteousness, ideal conduct, moral principles and truth. Adharma is the opposite of Dharma. In other words, Dharma is the atmospheric pressure that keeps the sky where it is, the gravity that keeps us from floating off the earth, the forces in and around all the planets and stars in the universe - that keeps them from colliding. Dharma is the water inside a plant that keeps it healthy and standing up straight, the sunshine that keeps the earth warm, the rain that cools it down and feeds the plants and trees. Dharma is what keeps ocean life from being crushed under the weight of the oceans. Adharma is opposite to dharma. Adharma is not performing one's duty. If it was possible for God not to perform God's duty uphold the universes, then it would be adharma. When we do not seek our duty and perform it, then it is adharma.
ReincarnationReincarnation is periods of night and day, action and rest, in the journey to perfection. God is Love and the loving purpose of life for God's children is to grow into fulfillment of their full potential. Many millions of aborted fetus', still need to live a life to get to know God as we have struggled to do. So does a starved baby child need another opportunity to get to know God as s/he, in a future life, may bounces him/herself off life's situations and grow into a loving being. But even for those who live up to a 'ripe old age' of 80--was one lifetime enough to gain the state of perfection needed to 'become one with Christ', to be 'perfect as our Father in heaven is perfect', as Scripture instruct us? God is love, and the laws of nature operate in such a way that each and every one of us, the devil and demons themselves, will be afforded ample opportunity to learn, to grow, and become in our essential inherent nature - perfection. Is there a downside? No, there is no downside. Some of us will continue to manifest evil (thoughts / actions, that lead away from the goal of life) and will continue to reincarnate in various conditions to be afforded opportunities to experience the folly of our actions - until we 'make over our minds' (literal meaning of the Greek word 'metanoia' which is translated as Repentance), and start on the Way to become our potential. This may be hell, to continue to be reincarnated for millions of years - perhaps now in an African rural setting as a woman, and on and on and on every 180 years (or something like that), and later as a factory worker in Greenland in the year 1,300,012AD and still going strong after 36 000 lifetimes making the same mistakes...some call this hell as the spirit gets weary and yearns to return home to where its kin awaits. Does things get better on earth? No. As more and more holy children enter into heaven, so does the percentage of evil children in the world population increase and so, proportionally, does the extent of evil deeds increase. Some of our enlightened brothers and sisters willfully return here with Jesus the Saviour to serve as examples and guides to help us evil ones get out of here. Unfortunately we tend to miss them, or worse, to dismiss them, kill them, scorn them, abuse them - and because of their greater love they will keep coming back again and again until we are all out of this hell we so rightfully earned. Some of us were sent here to work in Yesu's troop and to help our brothers and sisters to get out of here...but we forgot what the mission was all about and (again) fell into the traps of this school world. Lest we wakeup soon and take our place in the nursing squad there will be hell to play with us.
