2. The Pattern of Life.

The Pattern of Life.

All life on earth (Plants, animals and humans) are based on a pattern called; the pattern of life. Thus the whole living planet is based on a pattern of cause and effect. For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction.

For arguments sake; if you attempt a murder, sooner or later there will be an equal attempt on your own life. If you steal from someone, sooner or later the same measure or possession will be stolen from you in return. Any wrong that you do will be revisited on you personally at a later stage or your next of kin, descendants, countrymen etc. “Just as you sow you shall reap”

The good news in this equation is that the opposite is also true; “Cast your bread upon the water, it will come back to you.” All the good that you do towards other people will also be repaid to you. If you give a homeless beggar a bit of money out of the goodness of your heart, without expecting anything in return, you may expect that at a later stage your good deed will be returned in the same way; when you are most in need. (Or whichever charity you support or donate money or time to.)

If everyone practises this principle, the earth will gradually become a better place. A true heaven and a paradise it will once more be one day. It is like casting a stone in the middle of a tranquil pond. The ripples extend outward from the centre. It may be a stone cast for evil, with evil ripples flowing outwards in an ever widening evil spiral. If you cast it for good, the ripples will flow outwards with good emanating from it in the pattern of life. Thus it may either be a good circle, or an evil one, depending on your intent and actions.

Or like a pendulum of metal balls, with the force being carried over from the one ball to the next, with the final one in the row lifting and rebounding, repeating the process. Currently with all the evil, materialism and violence in the world; mankind is following a cruel and vicious circle of retribution and counter-retribution. They are busy destroying themselves and their home; the planet earth.

With all this there is more good news for average people who generally do good in their lives. If you follow this basic principle, you need not fear that any evil will befall you, as this same pattern of life will generally protect you from bad times befalling you; “Yea though I go through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil” Psalm 23.

And so the pattern of life balances itself out as it always has over the ages. A pattern for good, or a pattern for evil, according to your own personal choice. One can elaborate extensively over this theory as I have done with myself over the last few months, but these are the essentials; things Christ revealed two thousand years ago.

To my knowledge it is all the truth…
