"So that you
may take the good path, and observe the ways of the righteous. The way of nature and the way of humanity are connected. One influences the other. We cannot push against natural law without natural law eventually pushing back. Whenever human society gets to a certain point of imbalance natural forces are activated in the world that seek to realign the natural balance. The more human society pushes against the shift back to a position of normality, the greater the force exerted against it, forcing it to change. This explains why from time to time major world upheavals and wars occur. Changes are natural and inevitable, yet all changes in society in general must be in harmony with natural law, otherwise natural law creates scenarios that lead to the removal of the human unbalancing agent. This is the underlying history of humanity. Learn this lesson well; for it is not a matter of the past, but an issue for the present, and a warning for the future. Guided as we all are by a Higher Hand we still each have the ability to choose our own destinies and walk our own course through life. The Higher Hand only offers us suggestions about what to do and how best to live through subtle signs throughout our lives. We choose whether or not to follow the signs so graciously bestowed upon us by Heaven. Some are not sensitive enough to recognize a Heavenly sign or Divine guidance. Therefore, Heaven sends us numerous opportunities to help us cultivate our spiritual sensitivities. However, if we do not take advantage of the opportunities afforded us, Heaven will nonetheless try to reach out to us, but, in the end, we are still held responsible for everything we could have known and done but have chosen otherwise. Consequences for our behavior are far-reaching and almost impossible to avoid. Mind well what you do today, for you will run straight ahead into the consequences of today by tomorrow or the next day. It is the natural way that those who imbalance the natural order are themselves toppled in the end. Heaven has made the laws of nature act in this way to realign lost balance whenever things get too out of hand. Those who lead simple and balanced lives in the end will be left to do what they have always done, maintain harmony and peace on Earth. There is no great secret to the Way of Heaven. Actually, the wisdom of Heaven is revealed in its simplicity, not in its complexity.
Heaven ordained
the laws of nature and allows nature to take its course. There is a
time and purpose for all things under Heaven. One who flows with the
times will ride high the waves of life and live to see the end of one’s
journey in peace and contentment. In the end, those who walk in the ways of Heaven at peace with the Earth will inherit the Earth; whereas those who fight the ways of Heaven and seek to impose themselves upon the Earth will in the end be lost; swept away and disposed of, like all other trash. This is the way and natural order. It is inevitable. We cannot fight it; all we can do is submit. We choose whether to be treasure or trash; to live or to die. How we live dictates how we die. As always, the choice is left up to us. Heaven is calling; who is paying attention to the Divine Voice seeking audience?
