Just as like attracts like, so like produces like. This is a cosmic law, which means that it is universally true throughout the whole of existence right up through the higher planes. As Jesus put it, you do not gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles; and he also said,
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit… (Matthew 7:17 ).
So it is with our thoughts and words and deeds. As we sow so shall we reap, sometimes almost immediately, sometimes after a long interval. But always, sooner or later like produces like.
… In the East this law of sowing and reaping is known as karma and the term is a convenient one.
Note carefully, however, that karma is not punishment. If you touch a red hot stove, you will burn your finger. This will hurt you, but it is not punishment, only a benign and reformative consequence, for after one or two such experiences in childhood, you learn to keep your fingers away from hot iron. So it is with all natural retribution—you suffer because you have a lesson to learn.
How many times must we burn our spiritual fingers before we learn our lessons. Negative human reactions born of human weaknesses of attitude, spirit and behavior will unerringly produce negative results in our lives. They are meant to reform our thoughts, words and deeds so we will correct them.
As long as we are touching our spiritual fingers to bitterness, resentment, regret, scorn and all other negative reactions to life, we will continue to create negative outcomes in our lives such as doubt, fear, worry, anxiety and all the other harmful human reactions that rob us of peace, joy and hope. They also rob us of the joy God created in this place to provide for his family.
So today, let us apply our fingers, hands and lives to those things that cause us to feel happiness, spread joy and live peacefully in the Eden God created for us.
Sowing peace,
