The third universal law the law of cause and effect, the law of attraction is it working for or against you? Now the law of attraction is simply the modern term for the law of cause and effect. You're probably familiar with the movie The Secret video that came out a number of years ago that brought the law of attraction to the forefront of people's awareness, and really made it a somewhat of a popular concept. But this universal law of cause and effect has been with us since the beginning of time. And it's known by a number of different names. The law of karma.

Newton's third law for every action, there's an opposite and equal reaction. And even more colloquial expressions such as what goes around comes around, and what you sow, you reap. We also find the same teaching and a number of the world's religions. An example from the Bible is in Book of Matthew, whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap. And another example from the Buddhist scripture is, according to the seed that's sown, so is the fruit you reap there from. Dewar of goodwill gathers good Dewar of evil, evil reaps, sown is the seed and thou shalt taste the fruit there.

Now, to fully understand this law, we have to return to the basic premise that everything is energy, and this was covered in a previous lesson. According to its vibrational speed and frequency, we have different manifestations. And as already stated, this includes you. You are a vibrational being and according to the level of your vibration, it's what you're putting out to the universe that will come back to you. You're constantly creating. Your thoughts are creations, your emotions, your memories, and of course Your words and actions all are manifestations of energy.

Take, for instance, if you had a traumatic experience at some point in your life, and you've not completely released or gotten over it, that energy imprint or record of that event is still in your memory, or your subconscious. And each time you think about it, and feel it all over again, it's no longer something that happened in the past. It's in your present moment. Because all there is is now the energy is still there with you. And by reliving the past, you're creating the situation all over again. And as you recreate that past situation, it's much stronger.

It's made to be a stronger imprint, and it can become like a prison for you. As the energy engulfs you. This is one cause of illness, disease and emotional bondage. Not being a able to release and let go of these past traumatic experiences. Now the good news is that this is also true with your good memories, you can likewise raise your vibration to a very high level by simply remembering or re experiencing a very wonderful event that happened in your life. Many people use this remembering technique in their meditations to get centered in their hearts, or when they find their vibration is dipped to a lesser level and they want to go back to a higher vibration.

In order to fully grasp and understand the law of attraction, the law of cause and effect, we can't overlook the important fact that we must take full responsibility for our lives. Now, this is sometimes a tall order for people. Because our society today it almost encourages us to blame others for the condition in our lives, whether it be our parents, the teachers or the government or just our friends. ticular circumstances. However, as a creator in the physical realm, you are responsible for what you create and the conditions in your life. As the saying goes, change your thinking and change your life.

And knowing this law, you can catch yourself when you start to recreate a hurt or a difficult situation. You there's that point where you can say no to yourself, no, I'm not going to go there. We're not going to recreate this, we're not going to relive it. It's very, very much a matter of personal discipline. Because when you rehash the situation, you are sowing the seeds that will come back to you again. Now, here's a very important fact about the law of cause and effect.

While it is a simple law, relatively simple, its application is not always so apparent effects of the causes that we set in Emotion are not necessarily instant. It may take a lifetime or numerous lifetimes before the effects of our actions circle back to us. But think about it. This is also the mercy of the law because it gives us additional time to grow and mature spiritually. So that you know, we're better prepared to handle the return effects of some of our unenlightened choices from the past. It also gives us an opportunity to balance some of our debts to life, through our service to others even specific individuals we may have harmed over time.

And it's also helps us reap the benefits of our previous constructive choices are good karma. And other times the return can seem almost instant. It can be as simple as helping a neighbor in need and then later a different neighbor helps you when you lose your job. Or it may be that you're not careful and as a result, you fall and sustain a serious injury. The bottom line is whether we are aware of it or not. The Game of Life goes on continuously, every moment of our lives.

Our thoughts, feelings, actions, and words are all creations that define our world and send forth degrees of constructive or destructive energies. And this can be the reason why we sometimes see wonderful people experiencing dire personal experiences. You often hear people question well, why would God allow such and such to happen? When in reality, we are the God in this dimension. We are creators, and we are given dominion over the earth. And we have freewill to choose how we express that dominion.

So when we create in conjunction with God in spirit, which is our true identity, then we are co creators with God and the God above and the god below are in complete harmony. And we're whole just as Jesus Said I and My Father are One, we to become the instruments of our divine nature expressing itself. But sometimes we learn the hard way, when using our creative energies. So a good plan of action to live by is to understand that all of life is my responsibility, and nobody else's.
