Eternal Unspoken
Speaking of the unspoken, there is an eternal (in that it is not bound by the dimension of time) energy that binds us while we are alive. When life extinguishes, the interdependent relationship with the eternal energy is severed.Eternal Energy and the Path
This energy surrounds us and revitalizes us when we are on the eightfold path. And those off the path deny their own energy into a form of remission; the energy surrounding them binds them into the great cycle of karma, where everything is balanced back to a neutral status. Karma is based on action alone, not the intention, nor the thoughts, nor the talk surrounding actions.Karmic Reach
A wrapper you toss in the garbage flies away off the top a few moments later when nobody's watching as a strong gust of wind rises to the occasion, and the item lands in the water of the regional bay a few feet below the garbage can.That wrapper manages to get pulled under by a rip current days later and a few years later, maybe even a few decades longer (perhaps even centuries or longer), lands on the shores of a forein land where their king's children are playing on the beach. It takes no time for them to spot the pollution before a caretaker grabs it out of the child's hand and curses the origin of it before tossing it aside for a servant to dispose of, but not before the king's curiosity is satisfied about the cause of the midday disruption.
They all rejoice at finding another ancient wrapper for their collection. The garbage was finally turned to treasure and the karma is rebalanced. Not really. That's not how it works. They find it thousands of years from now, it will have a whole different life to live that has nothing to do with anything that existed years earlier, yet alone thousands of years earlier. By then, it's an ancient relic, not a symbol of a social injustice. The only ones that are affected by society are society's offspring.
So how does karma work? Through action. Only through action does the great wheel of karma continue to spin. That is why it is so important to sit with the mind in stillness. Thus achieving rebirth and exiting the great wheel.
Since the cycle of karma itself is outside the scope of the boundaries of time, the effects of the negativity reflect instantly on the origin, pulling the being deeper into karmic imbalance.
How many garbage cans are located near water in the civilized nations? Who purchased a food item that was sold in a plastic wrapper, which is useless and unrecyclable once opened or torn.
Eternal Energy and Karma
Within the cycles of karma, the eternal energy flows effortlessly and glows with an iridescence of a nondescript color, soaking all existence in its being.A love binds them universally, regardless of positive or negative loving energies. Thus the eternal energy flows through all existence and all beings in existence, binding them to the balance of the natural order of life.
