What We Put Out Comes Back To Us

Different versions of this golden rule can be found in ancient writings, the Bible, and many of the Eastern mystical teachings.
It has been expressed in a number of different ways over the ages.
The most familiar versions are, "we reap what we sow," or "do unto others what we would have them do unto us."
This truth has also been referred to as the law of cause and effect. That is, for each action that we take there will be an effect.
It also means that we must take personal responsibility for all that we do.

Love-based actions build up positive karma over time; negative ones have to be balanced and healed.
If we do something that is irresponsible and hurts a person, animal, plant, or Earth Mother the consequences of this negative karma will eventually come back to us in this or some future lifetime. And we will have to find ways to re-balance them. The opposite holds true for the loving actions we unselfishly perform.
Eventually, we figure it all out and begin to make Higher choices, because we realize that by hurting other people and things, we only hurt ourselves. We are all One.
The law of cause and effect is just, totally fair, and should not be replaced with the man-made belief that we will all be judged and punished by an angry God.
Why? Prior to incarnating we plan our next life. And we, not God, are the ones who will choose how to balance and heal the negative karma we have created. Again, the opposite holds true for love-based actions that have created positive karma.
