thanks for the excellent post. few thoughts i have on the topic.
Lao Tzu met Confucius. Lao Tzu's saw that order underlies everything, and that Confucius was trying to put order on top of order, and making a mess of everything.
Both thought the other brought anarchy.
Seems clear nature falls in balance, so I believe in inherent order in the universe, and that we do indeed make a mess by what we place upon without consideration for, the predefined order that exists.
To me this order means things like, following the ten commandments, not because someone will bash you from above, but because they in fact remind you what will cause suffering for you. Don't do these things because it won't end well, bad time. The masters of the world all speak of reaping what you sow, or karma. Anthony De Mello call a book on karma should be called 'you done it'.
so i have found you can get into the flow, and by that it means you can get your own. don't be jealous, get your own. if you don't want to do what it takes to get your own, then don't, and let go. sometimes the cost of something is higher than you want to pay. that is why i invest, invest in all i do so that i might get future rewards.
i believe living this way is the best way, that i've found, to approach life. because it means everyone is divine. so how you treat everything, is how you treat God, or yourself.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I love how you ended this with "because it means everyone is divine. so how you treat everything, is how you treat God, or yourself." That is literally the exact lesson of one of the parables I described in my previous post called Shankara and his Disciples.
I am dropping link to my Blog. Looking forward to you not Following me!
