Action on The Path

[Eternal Unity]

My dear friends, I thank you for inviting me into your consciousness.

Action.

Action is the heart of the sacred steps on The Path. Perhaps, arguably, even the most important step. It is such an important step that it is sometimes even called The Law of Action because there is a universal truth tied up with action.

So let me begin by telling you about that. The law of action is as follows:

What you do to Life, will be done to you by Life.

Perhaps you have heard this expressed slightly differently? Perhaps you have heard it said:

What you do to others, will be done to you also.

I’m sure you must have heard this because the law of action is so pervasively true that it has found its way into every single religion and major philosophical system in the world today. It has been called The Golden Rule, as well. And, The Law of Karma. Most of those that believe in karma, actually misunderstand it. They seem to believe there is some kind of universal vengeance system. As if there is some deity that carries out punishment to the wicked. As if a life of hardship and torment is burdened upon you by some cruel being in retribution for past sins. Well, beloved friends, allow me to tell you there is no such thing. I will explain karma as I understand it in a future article.

Back to Action.

The first component in action is the thing that you are doing.

The energy or INTENT behind your action is what fuels your action. If you genuinely desire to do a kind act for another being and then you go out and do something then it is kindness that you are enacting. It is kindness that you are putting out into the world. It doesn’t matter is the actual action is making a sandwich for a hungry stranger or if it is offering a friend a compassionate ear. What you are doing, then, is kindness. So that is the first component. The action carries out into the world around you the energy of the intention that is behind it.

And just as with kindness, an underhanded, sneaky uncaring intention can be carried out into the world by, for example, trying to enrich yourself at the expense of your neighbor. And I use this word, neighbor, in the spiritual sense. Those that are around you. Your neighbor is other people; it is also the planet, it’s also the animals, the plants, the oceans, the air and so forth.

Which brings me to the second component of the law of action. You might think you are being kind to this person right here to whom you are offering a sandwich. And it is true, you are. But when you act, you act upon the whole of life. A loving action done to any part of life, affects all of life. Because, All is One, remember.

And the reverse is true. A negative, destructive action perpetrated upon any part of life, affects all of life.

So, think about what your intention is, before you act. You are impacting the Oneness, not just the person, the neighbor, upon whom you are acting.

Then there is the third component. This is, perhaps, the very least understood component. It is often not even mentioned when this law is discussed. It is the fact that your action is an ENERGY that is sent out into Life. It is like a signal that you are broadcasting. And then life takes that signal up and then reverberates it back to you. But it doesn’t simply return it to you. It multiplies your signal with Divine Will before it hands it back to you.

Life is not just the sum of the parts: the people, animals, plants and things you see around you. Life is consciousness. And consciousness organizes itself. It has its own intention and will. Which is another way of say that behind everything you see around you, there is a divine spirit moving. That things are as they are because this divine spirit wills it thus. From one perspective there are many, many gods all co creating this reality. From another perspective all of these gods, of course, are One and these demi-gods together are part of the one great being - The One Great Spirit.

Be aware that life will not simply reflect your choices back to you like a dumb machine. Or like a lifeless mirror. No. The actions that express intentions that are in alignment with universal will, will be massively empowered by that universal will. A small action that aligns with universal will, will be multiplied and amplified and will yield a great result.

My friends, begin with acceptance. Then, choose your intention very, very carefully. Be still. Listen to your heart. Align with the divine will within. And only then, when you have a great choice that you can really align yourself with, only then it is recommended for you to begin empower it with action.

Now, there is a fourth component to the law of action. It is time. In the absolute sense, of course, there is only THIS moment, The Eternal Moment of NOW. But, relatively, do you know what time is? Science has no definition for it. I will tell you what it is. It is the pause that occurs between cause and effect. I am saying that the energy that you have put out will take some time to come back to you.

And this, right here, is why you have probably not noticed the law of action. If there was no gap at all, it would be as obvious to you as opening a faucet or switching on a light. You do not doubt that the action of opening a faucet causes water to flow, do you? You do not doubt that the action of turning on a switch on the wall causes a light bulb in the ceiling to glow, do you?

There is not confusion or doubt because it is immediate. But think for a moment: how would it be if you opened a tap right now and nothing happened. Then, you turned on a switch and also nothing happened. Then you did twenty other such things before, in a week’s time the water suddenly began to flow. Perhaps, you had opened and closed the tap three times already before it began to flow. And then, after another week or two the light bulb inexplicably began to glow. And to confuse matters further, between now and then a number of doors had opened and shut, you motor vehicle had started up, the lawn mower did a lap around your garden and your neighbor’s dog bit you.

You would have to be a great deal more observant than the average human being is, to notice the causation between the first tap opening and the water flowing. There would, perhaps be some spiritual precept about taps and water that you may or may not even conceive of.

And to further complicate matters: do you know that time is not the same for everyone? Yes, certainly, everyone has the same number of seconds in a day. This is true. But that is the illusory external reality that you are co creating. That is not what I am talking about here. I am talking about the gap between the causes that you personally instigate in life and the effects that come back to you, into your awareness.

You see, the higher your consciousness, the shorter the gap between cause and effect for you. Eventually the gap is so short that it is nearly immediate. Then you are very close to mastery. Because your will is then, nearly instantly done. The vast majority of all those upon planet earth at this time are not at this level. At their level of awareness, you can enact a choice today that can come back to you in your next lifetime. Or the one after that. Or the one after that! When you have utterly and completely forgotten that you instigated that action - THAT'S when it returns to you!

This is not a mistake. Neither is it a cruelty. This very effect, this very large gap between cause and effect is the only way you can forget your own true creator nature and reside, lifetime after lifetime in deep forgetting here in duality. It is the only way you can believe yourself to be a victim. It is the only way you can think fear to be a real and valid response to life. It is the only way you can co create disastrous and painful outcomes for yourself. And beloved friends, I know many of you simply will not be able to hear this from me, but I tell you it is true: you actually WANTED to be here to experience this. You wanted this deepest level of forgetting because it is only from this place of utter forgetting that you can create yourself anew. That you can rise, triumphant and magnificent, into a whole new creation of self. Which is what happens to the awakened, ascended souls that arise from duality. When you are ready to return, you will return transformed! You will return with vastly more than that which you departed with. It is a journey that every single returnee reports to be very challenging but WORTH IT over and over again.

And when it is time, you WILL return.

But what I wish you to understand is that the process of raising your consciousness IS the process of shortening the gap between your causative action and the effect of that action returning to you. And as this gap shortens, so you become a more and more powerful creator being. In great part this is because there is less chaos in your actions between the cause and the effect.

Let me explain it like this.

If you open and close the faucet ten times before the water flows, its flow might be very weak when it arrives in two weeks’ time. Because of all the opening and closing. Because of all the confusion in intention: do you want it open or do you want it closed?

You have not clearly and firmly offered life only one intent strengthened with one action. You have offered many intentions and many actions. Much chaos.

By contrast, if you firmly open the faucet today and do nothing else, the water will gush from the tap when it arrives perhaps, tomorrow, quite strongly.

As you raise your consciousness, so you reduce the gap. As you reduce the gap, so you empower the effect. As you reduce the gap and empower the effect, so you become far more powerfully aware that you are creating your reality. As you become conscious of your creator nature so you become more mindful of your creations. As you become more mindful of yours creations, so you create in a more orderly, purposeful way. And as you do this, so you align yourself ever more with divine will. As you align yourself with divine will, so you raise your consciousness. As you raise your consciousness, so you reduce the gap between cause and effect.

Do you see?

A cycle begins! And that cycle leads you to be spiraling up into ever higher levels of consciousness, creating ever more powerfully.

Beloved friends, the law of action is the engine room of the sacred steps. It is what drives creation in this reality.

Yes. It is true, you can act without moving a muscle or saying a word. You can act in meditation. Or in imagination. This is possible.

But do you know how to do this?

There is perhaps a handful of people alive on the earth today who REALLY know how to do this. People who have spent vast energy and attention training their minds. Such beings can act upon the world while sitting still.

Are you one of these beings?

No?

Then act using your hands, your body, your vocal chords, you pen, your computer keyboard. Act with action.

And this brings me to the final point of our conversation on the law of action: Now that you understand the importance of action now you might ask, “Yes, but what then should I do?”

The answer is to go back to your intention. What is the change that you wish to see in your world? You will recall when I spoke to you about intention. I said setting your intention is like putting a pin in the map. It is like saying “I am going there”. Well, your actions are akin to getting up and talking a step in that direction.

So check with your intention that you have set. Now ask yourself, “What one thing can I do right now that takes me in the direction of the fulfillment of my intention?”

People often feel overwhelmed at this point. “How can I do something that takes me to my desired outcome?” they ask. Perhaps you are desperately ill and your intention is wellness. Or perhaps you are swamped in debt and your intention is abundance. Or perhaps you are all alone and your intention is to find companionship. Whatever the case is. At this point, perhaps it feels as if you are a thousand miles from your desired outcome. Perhaps you cannot imagine how you could in a hundred lifetimes get to your desired goal.

Well, that is perfectly okay. Only take one single step in that direction right now.

Remind yourself of your intention. Repeat it to yourself until you feel it. Then check: what you can do right now towards that end?

And please, let’s not lie to ourselves here. If your intention is great physical well being, you cannot say “I am going to eat a fudge sundae for my health”. You know what leads to good health and what detracts from it. Do something that is directly about the manifestation of your intention. One small step in the right direction. Perhaps you choose to research good and healthy eating habits. And then perhaps you choose to make something good and healthy to eat. There. You have taken a small step. You are on the path. So, be clear about what you are doing. Keep choosing actions that take you forwards, towards your desired outcome.

Now, equally importantly, you must also cease taking steps in the opposite direction. It doesn’t help to take a step forward and to promptly turn around and run three steps backwards.

This is not rocket science.

If you cannot think of a single thing that you could possible do to move yourself in the right direction then the first thing for you to do is to set some time aside to meditate, to listen to your heart. If that doesn’t work, find a trusted person whose input you would value. Talk things over with them. In any case, find something constructive, positive and specific that you can do that takes you towards your desired goal. Then do it.

It is good if you can do something like this regularly. If it works out that you can do something like this daily then that is good. Do this repetitively. Get into the habit of taking positive actions and you will find yourself walking towards your desired outcome step by step.

Do this and you will be enacting the law of action. You will be bringing the desired outcome towards yourself. Stay the course and you WILL see it happening. A journey of a thousand miles will foreshorten as universal will assists you and gives you wings. You will find yourself actually walking the energetic equivalent of, perhaps, a hundred miles if you act constantly. And if you act powerfully and purposefully and you raise your consciousness you will walk perhaps a handful of miles only and you will find yourself magically arriving at your destination.

Friends, when the universe contrives to bring your desires to you, you may truly expect the miraculous.

It IS possible to empower it further. And these further empowerments, that further reducing of the gap in order to create instantaneously, that is what constitutes the remaining sacred steps along The Path. I look forward to sharing these with you.

Until then, I wish for you that you love what you do and that you do what you love.

@Eternal Unity Wow! Thanks for sharing your wisdom.

Supplemental to Action.

Hello again friends,

Let me begin by saying that I have not naturally been an action oriented person. Not in this life, anyway. I used to have all kinds of judgments of myself. I used to believe that I was lazy. A procrastinator. That I just didn’t like to get things done. That I was better at starting things than finishing them.

What I am trying to share with you here, is that I am not naturally one of life’s great doers.

Perhaps I am more naturally a thinker. Certainly I am a great dreamer, which is not something that is generally well rewarded here on earth.

So it is from this context that I share with you that I have remembered, in this life, the profound value of action. Both from a practical perspective and from a spiritual perspective.

I know a lot of people that seem to believe that action is secondary. Or even unnecessary. There are people that say you can change your life by thoughts alone. I see these people sitting around talking about abundance and success. I see them very earnestly meditating upon the bountiful things they wish for themselves and others. And I see, a year later, five years later, ten years later, they are still where they were. Still waiting on the amazing stuff that has happened in their minds and in their dreams but apparently just don’t seem to want to manifest it their lives.

And believe me, I am not judging them. Until relatively recently, I was one of them. Because I understood how important intention setting was. And I understood that thoughts are energy. And I knew the great importance of good attitudes like positivity and gratitude.

I had simply fallen into the false belief that these things were the WHOLE enchilada. But they are not. They are the strong foundation upon which successful reality creation is built. But a foundation is not a building. It is a foundation. And if all you have is the foundation and then you stop building, well, then you might as well not have built the foundation at all.

So to begin with I recommend for you to take action. That action is your investment in your desired outcome. It is your sign to yourself and therefore to your Inner Self, The Universe and The Oneness that you are committed to this. And commitment is what transforms a promise into reality. It is what makes a dream full with potentiality.

What you put out is what you get back. I am sure you know this to be true. Action speaks louder than words, they say. And words speak louder than thoughts.

Examine your own experience:

If you were at the office and your boss tasked you with something and you didn’t move, but said, “Yeah, sure. I’ll sit here and intend and visualize this thing happening for you for the rest of the day, okay?” How long do you think you’d remain employed?

You see, “intending” is what comes before action. That is why it is powerful. It is how you prepare to actually MAKE IT HAPPEN. But if your plan is really just to think about making it happen and then not actually make it happen then you are just deceiving yourself. You are not intending, you are just fantasizing. Imagining. Dreaming. And these are the things we do when we want to play with alternate experiences that do not actually manifest in this reality. At the mastery level, a master can entertain an idea, only, she can immediately manifest this reality into live experience.

If you truly did intend to do as the boss asked you might say something like, “Yes, sure! Give me 5 minutes to plan how I am going to do it and then I’ll get it done!” And then, when you have your plan in place - you get it done. THAT’S intending. Not fantasizing.

And that’s what works in every aspect of life. So why should it be any different for our spiritual life?

If there is no action, no doing involved then you are not invested in this creation. You are not giving your own personal energy to it. And if you are not doing that then there is nothing for the universe to work with. Nothing to amplify. Nothing to add to and nothing to assist.

That’s the theory. But it’s also my personal experience. And it is also something that some people argue with me over. When I tell people about this, I sometimes get told that I am wrong. That thoughts alone are enough. But I notice that I am told this by the same people who complain that life is treating them unfairly and that their manifestation efforts aren’t working. I WAS one of those people. And that was my struggle. But since I have begun to practice the law of action, my life is utterly changed and my intentions have begun to manifest in beautiful abundance. So, it’s blatantly clear to me that action is a major component of DOING WHAT WORKS.

The next thing I’d like to say about action is this: It IS, from my perspective, how you build upon the foundation of acceptance and intention. If you just act, without first laying that foundation, then you might as well also not act. Without that foundation, the building will just collapse.

I am telling you what works for me. And it is not just action but action taken mindfully and in perfect entwinement with a clearly set intention all the while remaining in a state of loving acceptance of myself and life.

THAT is what works for me. And I cannot recommend this way of being highly enough.

My new intention is that "It is my intention to find the way of giving my gift, as fearlessly as possible, to every expression of life."

So the specific actions that I am taking in support of that intention come to me from my heart. I hold that intention and my heart tells me what to do.

So that is what life for me now. Those expressions are my actions that I'm doing to put my energy out into the universe. And yes, this very supplemental is another such an action.

And when I have taken these steps, I know that by listening to my heart, I will be told what the next step is. I am not asked to rush these steps. I am asked to take them at a good, measured but steady pace. As the information arrives for me, and is ready to pass through my mind, so I am asked to write it down and make it available to you.

And, friends, it’s only been a few weeks but already, after taking these steps, I can tell you there is a qualitative difference in my life. There is a lightness, a freedom and a feeling of abundance within my heart. And it is being reflected back to me by life. There is suddenly an upswing of interest in what I am doing.

Why am I telling you this?

Because it means something.

You see, the world around you is a reflection of you. Or rather, it is a reflection of your embodiment of truth. And in taking a step in the direction of your intention you take concrete action to bring your intention to fruition. You change your beliefs about yourself and about life. And life reflects that back to you. So as I begin to give my gift abundantly and fearlessly, so life gifts back to me, abundantly and fearlessly.

That’s, again, the theory. And it is with joy that I can report that this is also my experience.

Thank you for reading ??

Do you have any examples / names of people that say it's worth it ?

Basically, all the masters who walked the planet. Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Moses, Muhammad the Prophet, The Count of Saint Germain, Paramahansa Yogananda, Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi. Some of the recent ones: Eckhart Tolle, Robert Cutter, Magenta Pixie, Sadhguru, Neale Donald Walsch. I guess Leo's name also belongs there.
