[From Marsha:\u00a0 Long ago a fellow student and I did an experiment we had heard in the teachings concerning the Law of Balance instead of the idea we all have heard of Karma.\u00a0 The dictionary says:\u00a0 \u201cthe sum of a person’s actions in this and previous states of existence<\/em>, viewed as deciding their fate in future existences<\/em>\u201d. But the idea was presented to us that there is only the Law of Balance.\u00a0\u00a0 So the experiment in balancing says if someone was mean to us in some way that we could balance that action by doing a kindness to someone or something else.\u00a0\u00a0 Sounds pretty far out, but we did the experiment for a while and like other ideas forgot it after a bit.\u00a0 And so here\u2019s that very idea again and certainly worth reviving and checking out.]<\/p>\n

Dr. Bob says:<\/p>\n

So you said, \u201cyou have any number of moods.\u201d\u00a0 Well, let\u2019s say that I looked at things and said, \u201cWell I think what I will do as my purpose today is work with balancing everything that comes along.\u201d<\/p>\n

So somebody comes in and gives me a hard way to go.\u00a0 Well, the balance to that would be to do something rather nice for somebody\u00a0 I meet through the day and give them a compliment, okay?\u00a0 Somebody steals somethin\u2019 from me, I go give somebody somethin\u2019.<\/p>\n

I read in a book that if somebody stole your overcoat, go give him your suit coat \u2013 or give somebody else your suit coat, I guess.\u00a0 That kind of balanced it up \u2013 you can just keep on givin\u2019 it or else you create more of an imbalance: and it\u2019ll have to come back \u2013 I don\u2019t know which.\u00a0 I\u2019m not talkin\u2019\u00a0 as that\u2019s what you ought to do or not; but it would be the way that I would see to establish a balance.\u00a0 And I find it works pretty good because it keeps you reminded that all these unpleasant situations that come along, you can do somethin\u2019 rather nice for something or somebody \u2013 doesn\u2019t matter, you just threw it out there, doesn\u2019t matter where it goes \u2013 it keeps you aware of your purpose.<\/p>\n

So here comes an idea that is only one purpose; it doesn\u2019t go into the unconscious purpose from birth of only being non-disturbed; therefore; it doesn\u2019t have all these methods of complaining, sticking up for rights, blaming or any of the others from the picture of man.\u00a0 (See picture on the webpage)<\/p>\n

With this purpose, the function comes out as something rather constructive, hmm?\u00a0 It\u2019s not something or someone you get even with, it\u2019s not something to avoid.\u00a0 It\u2019s not something to fight.\u00a0 And it sets up a whole different mood that we have talked about with your whole situation and everything around you.\u00a0 It does all the things we have talked about — that is to say that what you radiate is the environment you live in.\u00a0 This is a conscious purpose.<\/p>\n

Now you can talk about being a conscious individual because you have consciously chosen your purpose.\u00a0 And once you have a purpose, you don\u2019t have to figure out how to execute it.\u00a0 In fact it can be fun to figure out what you can do with balancing by doing something nice for someone or something.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
