Law of Thought
May 2007 | Filed under Universal Laws
The Law of Thought, or Cause and Effect, embodies a universal truth that you have probably heard many times, and that is “thoughts are energy.” Our physical manifestations are the effects or the results of our thinking. Thought is the Cause; manifestation of the thought is the Effect. Some think of this Universal Law as Karma — action/reaction.
We can reflect on what happened to us in the past, and learn from the experience, but we cannot influence what has already happened. According to the Buddhist philosopher, Fa-tsang (63-712 CE) all events are simultaneously past, present, and future. All time is now. This view held implications for the Buddhist karmic obligations, meaning that one right thought, one right action, has positive consequences for all time.
Whatever we focus upon, whatever we believe, we set in motion around us. Our minds create the good and the bad within our lives. Where we put our thoughts, and concentrate our efforts, is where the energy flows.
