We reap what we sow...


"I trust that the universe is impartial, allowing each of us to experience the consequences of our unique thoughts, feelings, choices, and actions (Creating Love and Joy, p. 49)."

Simple concepts are often not so easy to implement. Think of the simple concept for making money in the stock market: “Buy low, sell high.” It’s not hard to understand. Well, then, why aren’t we all millionaires? Because implementing the concept is not easy.

“We reap what we sow” is also a simple concept. In varying language, this concept is at the base of almost all the world religions. Why is it, then, that even the most spiritual among us take actions against others that they certainly wouldn’t want coming back to them? Perhaps one reason is that employing this concept in EVERY aspect of daily life is not easy. It takes constant vigilance and determination.

Also, we sometimes forget that we have both conscious and SUBCONSCIOUS thoughts. Both influence our actions, feelings, and choices. We may be unaware of the underlying assumptions or judgments that we harbor in our subconscious belief system. When we can raise our subconscious beliefs to our conscious awareness, then we can make a free-will choice about whether or not we choose to continue to employ that belief. It’s important to be gentle with ourselves—we are learning, we are learning, we are learning.
