''The wings of Time are black and white, Pied with morning and with night. Mountain tall and ocean deep Trembling balance duly keep.'' — Ralph Waldo Emerson This stanza from 'Compensation' conveys the idea that time is a blend of contrasting experiences, marked by both light and darkness. The phrase "wings of Time" symbolizes the passage of time, which encompasses both positive (morning) and negative (night) aspects. The mention of "Mountain tall and ocean deep" suggests the vast and varied dimensions of existence. The imagery of "Trembling balance duly keep" underscores the delicate equilibrium that is maintained despite these opposing forces. Overall, the stanza highlights the duality and balance inherent in the passage of time and the world's diverse experiences. _____ ''The Universe always seeks to balance itself, in fact, it demands it.''  — Michael Corthell None of us can avoid the consequen...

Doing right gets good results, doing wrong gets bad results.  If your attitude reeks of ill-will that's most likely what you'll attract. by Michael Corthell The law of cause and effect is one of the 12 universal laws of the universe. (The videos at the end give you an overview of this and all the universal laws.) The law of cause and effect states that nothing happens by chance or outside the Universal Laws. Every action has a reaction or consequence and we "reap what we have sown." Studying causes and their effects is simply an attempt to understand why things happen as they do. Many professions do this—accident investigators, scientists, historians, doctors, newspaper reporters, automobile mechanics, educators, police detectives, to name a few. All these disciplines spend considerable amount of time trying to understand the causes and effects of both human behavior and natural phenomena to gain better control over events and over societal behavior. ...

''All actions carry consequences, whether they are immediate or delayed, expected or unexpected. From the smallest choices to the most significant decisions, each action sets off a chain of events that can impact ourselves, others, and the world around us.'' Michael Corthell Cause and effect is the relationship between two things when one thing makes something else happen. For example, if we eat too much food and do not exercise, we gain weight. Eating food without exercising is the “cause;” weight gain is the “effect.” There may be multiple causes and multiple effects. Some also call it Karma. Karma is a Sanskrit word meaning 'act', 'action', or 'word'.  The law of karma teaches us that all of our thoughts, words, and actions begin a chain of cause and effect  and that we will personally experience the effects of everything we cause.  We may not experience the effect (the returning karma) right away, but you can count on it happening.    ...

"Every action ripples, karma echoes; choose wisely, shape your world." Michael Corthell The law of cause and effect , often associated with the concept of karma, is a fundamental principle that governs the interconnectedness of actions and their consequences. It posits that every action, whether physical, mental, or emotional, produces a corresponding result or outcome. According to this law, every cause sets into motion a chain of effects that reverberate throughout existence. Positive actions generate positive outcomes, while negative actions yield negative consequences. This principle applies to both individual actions and collective behaviors, influencing personal lives, relationships, and even societal dynamics. Karma , derived from the Sanskrit word meaning "action" or "deed," refers to the accumulation of one's intentional actions and their impact on future experiences. It encompasses the notion that our actions in this life or previous li...

“When you are joyful, when you say yes to life and have fun and project positivity all around you, you become a sun in the center of every constellation, and people want to be near you.” ― Shannon L. Alder A natural law is something that just is, whether you believe in it or not. The law of gravity for instance doesn't rely on your belief in it to work. The Law of Attraction is no different.  “An educated man is not, necessarily, one who has an abundance of general or specialized knowledge. An educated man is one who has so developed the faculties of his mind that he may acquire anything he wants, or its equivalent, without violating the rights of others.” ― Napolean Hill, Think and Grow Rich  

The way a person (or even a country) treats you is their karma but how you react is yours. Karma comes for everyone eventually. No one can't get away with screwing people over their whole life, I don't care who you are or who you think you are. What goes around does come around. That's how the Universe works. Sooner or later the universe will serve you just the right amount of payback that you deserve. 

  The Universe can be likened to  a Karma Café ; there are no menus, you are served what you deserve — no more and no less. The Universe presents you with the experiences that are most helpful for the evolution of your spirit...period. You choose how to respond to them. “Karma comes after everyone eventually. You can't get away with screwing people over your whole life, I don't care who you are. What goes around comes around. That's how it works. Sooner or later the universe will serve you the revenge that you deserve.” ― Jessica Brody, The Karma Club

“You are what you eat. What would YOU like to be?” ― Julie Murphy Life for many is a tragedy of nutrition. “Any food that requires enhancing by the use of chemical substances should in no way be considered a food.” ― John H. Tobe

  Not only is there a right and wrong, but what goes around does come around, Karma is real, chickens do come home to roost, and there is always a day of reckoning. The wise understand that every choice we make adds to the strength or weakness of our spirits. Every unkind act diminishes us, and every kind act lifts us. Karma is how the Universe balances itself . And we are all, along with all there is, one with the Universe.
