The Inevitability of Universal Harmony
Being aware of the world around us, we are told it is a terrible mess. Everywhere we look we see or hear about turmoil, strife, chaos and arguments where even the “experts” don’t agree. And even when our “experts” suggest alternatives, they are challenged, rejected as politically biased and labeled as “kooks.” Predictions of doom, gross injustices even in our justice system and the moral decay of or societies are an expected way of life.
The trouble is that too many listen to all these problems, accept them as valid and identify themselves with them. To make things worse, nobody is offering any solutions.
But we also live on a universe that is controlled by natural laws and principles. Their natural effect is irrevocable order, balance and completeness. We see this manifest in a universe of perfect rhythm, beauty, hope and the assurance that, because it has always maintained its integrity, it will continue to sustain itself forever.
Eckhart Tolle, in A New Earth, discusses the “madness” of war, death and violence. And he says that “Driven by greed, ignorant of their connectedness to the whole, humans persist in behavior that, if continued unchecked, can only result in their own destruction.”
If you and I are ever going to be free of the pressures and inequities that comprise the human scene, something has to change.
These two “worlds” are opposites. Opposites cannot coexist and cannot be justified one to the other. You can have one or the other, but you cannot have them both at the same time. It is the law!
Logic and reason demand that we accept the fact that only one of these worlds can be real while the other is unreal. One is true and the other is false. Only the “controlling forces of the universe are real, not artificial, not fraudulent, not illusory but fixed and permanent” (Webster).
By definition, then, that “other world” of chaos, instability, confusion is “artificial, fraudulent, illusory and is not fixed or permanent” and is not real. As such, the only power it has to control us is the power we give it by assigning power to that which has no power.
This logic is irrefutable. If we are to exercise dominion over our affairs, we must identify ourselves with the reality of our being. We must yield to the “creative and controlling forces of the universe” and allow them to destroy the “illusory world,” which it does as surely and as effortlessly as darkness is destroyed in the presence of light.
The only reason we experience the trials of a hostile world is because, in our ignorance, we have circumvented the absolute authority of natural laws and principles and, thereby, have prevented it from exercising its mandated authority to maintain and sustain our well-being.
I know this is a radical departure from the conventional mindset. But without a radical departure, no meaningful changes can be expected and we will continue to be victimized by an environment that seems intent on devouring us. 21st century problems demand 21st century solutions based on 21st century science.
We each have a decision to make as to where and how we will identify ourselves. This is not an easy task and demands absolute commitment and discipline. It demands that we make a conscious distinction between these two opposites.
As you contemplate the logic of these options, conclusions are, as Webster says, “obvious, inevitable and predictable.” Sooner or later, all-wise nature will reign supreme in our conscious awareness and we will awaken to a freedom that is already an integral part of our true identity. It is the law!
