So recent events have shown me that balance is something which is very evident in the life we live. Its not really a surprise when you think about it. For every birth there will be a death, for every force, there exists the opposing one (to paraphrase my ol' mate Newts). Dear Karl taught me that when we ask questions, we are always talking in bi polarities. If you are someone 'what is going well for you?' you are also asking the person to think about what is not in order to separate things.
But there exists a much deeper balance than pure physicality, and this is what I'm talking about. Before recentish times, I never thought of there as being an inherent justice in the natural world. People talk of justice in the for of various greater beings, or as an actual force in the universe, but it was always my opinion that the just pure physical, natural world went on regardless. The trees do not stop for justice, the universe does not falter because of some injustice in one of it's far corners somewhere. But I'm beginning to realise there is, and this is more of a part of the physical world then ever. It is simple causality.
And so, the rules are thus. If you behave in a positive and good manner, you create the environment where good things will happen around you and thus to you. In the same way, behaving badly sets in motion bad things happening around and to you.
Basically we are the cause of most of our own experiences, and time is the 'great master of justice' in the physical world at least.
Now this is where it gets more tricky. We cannot assume the victim of a crime, perhaps an assault or a robbery, set in motion the right for this to happen to them. No. I do not think so. In everyone's life there is a balance of good and bad in itself, and sometimes, the bad really sucks. No one deserves this. But on the other hand, if you were to turn your attention to the life path of the perpetrator, this is where the 'universal justice' will be exerted. This person has done something terrible, and so they have put in motion the causation of bad things happening to them. The justice of the universe is retributive, not compensatory. Perhaps compensation is where some other being would come into it, but as far as the universe goes, what you do will come back to you. Not because any great being willed it, not because of any great force of Karma or truth any such thing. It is simple causality. something which is key to our existence as linear beings. Simple as.
So the next time you feel like every thing's going poorly, that people are mistreating you or that you are not getting what you deserve, perhaps look at your life and see where you could be improving your input to maximise your output. Maybe you have been unknowingly mistreating others, or denying others recognition they deserve for their efforts. Perhaps you can be the cause of your own success.
And to all those who are the victim of some terrible incident, never fear. Remember that whoever caused it has justice cumming back to them in some way or another. The balance of life. No it might not help you in your recovery, and it may not directly compensate you for troubles, but it does give you that sense of balance in a different form. Hopefully you have a lifetime of good doing behind you to help you get back on your way.
I don't really know why I wrote this today. I just felt it happening. It's been a slow start to a miserable day. Perhaps things will look up now this is done? Who knows.
