IN VIOLET LIGHT - Kevala - 12-30-2012

The album transcribed through my nervous system....



When we are young, if the arm of our prized doll breaks, we experience terrible pain and may roll on the floor in tears. Our wise and loving mother, drying our tears, repairs the arm or buys us a new and better doll or in some other way expands the horizon of our experience.
From the point of view of the mature adult, the child’s problems are generally easy to solve. Only adults who are still themselves emotionally children have trouble with these situations.

Certain foods nourish the body more than others. Certain kinds of exercise are more useful than others. Certain ways of thinking are beneficial, others are not. Certain beliefs are useful for our evolution, some are not. Certain habits and actions speed our progress; others hinder our growth and the growth of others. Such actions are not “sins,” we are not punished for slowing our evolution or others’ evolution, but we do experience less happiness when we hinder growth, and in this sense we suffer and would be happier by choosing again to remake those particular choices which are causing pain.

This is the application of the law of cause and effect in the human sphere -- the law of karma as it was known in the East, the law of retribution as it was called by Emerson and others in the West, the fundamental creed of every religion, the Golden Rule which was perhaps best expressed in Galilee over two thousand years ago -- “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” And, “As you sow, so shall you reap.” If we plant seeds of fear, discord and disharmony, we will certainly harvest a crop of unhappiness. If we plant the seeds of love, the Invincible Forces of Nature will respond by bringing an abundant harvest of joy and love into our world.

This is why it is important to treat others as we wish to be treated. Not because we can permanently injure them or ourselves -- since we are all eternal impulses of life; that is simply impossible. Bodies can and will be lost; souls never. But we can slow others’ return to their Source -- or we can hasten it. And as we slow or hasten others’ return, our return will be slowed or hastened, for the others in our Universe are, in the final analysis, only extensions of ourselves.



It is never necessary or even useful to struggle against the natural current of our lives. We may not always understand or remember where we are going, we may not always understand or remember why we experience our lives as we do, but this does not mean that we will never understand or remember. Sometimes a little more patience is all that is required; sometimes a slightly different way of looking at our lives or world is all that is necessary. And sometimes we need to demonstrate to ourselves that we really are, after all, the ones who created our world exactly as it is.
