"What goes around comes around" is a universal truth also known as karma.
I remember back in the day when I was just beginning to learn spiritual principles, and someone needed my mouth to chew them a new one. I thought it might not be spiritually right, but, hey, I could always make amends later if it turned out not to be.
My mentor explained to me that that's the kind of thinking that sets karma in motion. What goes around comes around is not my setting Gertrude straight and Gertrude immediately shooting it right back at me, which she probably would do, and that ends it. No. By my actions I've set in play vibrations that will continue out far beyond me and my current awareness. The effects of my first shot may go around the world thirty times and take ten years to get back to me, but get back to me they will...with thirty times and ten years worth of ugly collected in it when I receive it. I will have long forgotten my first shot, and call what's happening to me my rotten luck, proof that there is no loving God...no God at all, in fact.
It is my belief that karma is of the material, third dimensional, world. Making oneself available to fourth dimensional world living, i.e., practicing spiritual principles in all our affairs, does not guarantee freedom from the results of our actions, it simply guarantees we no longer are as nasty as we want to be...or, if we are, expect to get away with it.
As is written in "God Calling" today, "Life with Me is not immunity from difficulties, but peace in difficulties." Learning to live within that promise brings us one of our greatest freedoms: Taking responsibility for our own behavior...the Draino for resentments.
Thank You.
