ONE DOOR OPENS, AND ANOTHER SLAMS IN YOUR FACE
















The other day I had the happy pleasure of revisiting old places that once belonged to me, there I was sitting in my chair, feeding the dogs, playing with them, kissing old staff that I love. In the same week I receive this from someone who for their sake will remain nameless. We have never met, but we are friends on facebook.

"Sometimes we can think that life is cheating on us or it is a big bullshit but it has roots that are under the earth and we cannot see but when they break free, on a beautiful spring day we see the results of what we have been planting and once upon a time with seeds that we did not know or believed in come to fruition. Good or bad the seeds were planted.
I have a phrase and I mean it to people who I read the Kaddish for: - I do not wish him/ her any good or bad, only what he/she deserves. For me that is fair enough".

The truth is what you are doing is what you are doing. If I walk through my old house, I am walking through my old house and I am likely to do it again. I like circles, and there is a God watching, I feel one and I understand totally the finer qualities of Karma, so like the above I just wish people what they deserve.

THE LAWS OF KARMA as I understand them, please correct if you would like to

1.THE GREAT LAW
"As you sow, so shall you reap". This is also known as the "Law of Cause and Effect".
Whatever we put out in the Universe is what comes back to us.
If what we want is happiness, Peace, Love, friendship...Then we should Be happy, peaceful, loving and a true Friend.

2.THE LAW OF CREATION
Life doesn't just happen, it requires our participation.
We are one with the universe, both inside and out.
Whatever surrounds us gives us clues to our inner state.
Be yourself, and surround yourself with what you want to have present in your Life.

3. THE LAW OF HUMILITY
What you refuse to accept, will continue for you.
If what we see is an enemy, or someone with a character trait that we find to be negative,
then we ourselves are not focused on a higher level of existence.

4.THE LAW OF GROWTH
"Wherever you go, there you are".
For us to grow in spirit, it is we who must change - and not the people, places or things around us.
The only thing we know for sure is ourselves
and that is the only factor we have control over.
When we change who and what we are within our heart
our life follows suit and changes too.

5.THE LAW OF RESPONSIBILITY
Whenever there is something wrong in my life,
there is something wrong in me.
We mirror what surrounds us and what surrounds us mirrors this is a Universal Truth.
We must take responsibility what is in our life.

6.THE LAW OF CONNECTION
Even if something we do seems inconsequential,
it is very important that it gets done as
everything in the Universe is connected.
Each step leads to the next step, and so forth and so on.
Someone must do the initial work to get a job done.
Neither the first step nor the last are of greater significance,
As they were both needed to accomplish the task.
Past - Present - Future
They are all connected...

7.THE LAW OF FOCUS
You can not think of two things at the same time.
When our focus is on spiritual values, it is impossible for us to have lower
thoughts such as greed or anger.

8.THE LAW OF GIVING AND HOSPITALITY
If you believe something to be true,
then sometime in your life
you will be called upon to demonstrate that particular truth.
Here is where we put what we claim that we have learned,
into actual practise.

9.THE LAW OF HERE AND NOW
Looking backward to examine what was,
prevents us from being totally in the here and now.
Old thoughts, old patterns of behavior, old dreams...
prevent us from having new ones.

10.THE LAW OF CHANGE
History repeats itself until we learn the
lessons that we need to change our path.

11.THE LAW OF PATIENCE AND REWARD
All rewards require initial toil. Rewards of lasting value require
patient and persistent toil.
True joy follows doing what we're suppose to be doing,
and waiting for the reward to come in on it's own time.

12.THE LAW OF SIGNIFICANCE AND INSPIRATION
You get back from something whatever YOU have put into it.
The true value of something is a direct result of
the energy and intent that is put into it.
Every personal contribution is also a contribution to the Whole.
Lack luster contributions have no impact on the Whole, nor do they work to diminish it.
Loving contributions bring life to, and inspire
