The fundamental law of physics is that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Karma, literally, means action and action is caused by mental activity or, as I call it, menting.

The fundamental law of Karma is that for every ment there is an equal and opposite reaction.

So, every time our mind (moul) generates a ment the opposite is also generated and this continues until we cease to generate ments. 

We cease to generate ments when when the mind is finally stilled, when the moul has finally been eliminated, when all attachment is nullified and we have total non-attachment, and all that is left is the Spirit Self - that which was created in the image of the Great Spirit. 

This is the cessation of Karma, the cessation of birth and death.

This is Buddhahood, this is Christhood!

If you wanted to study a plant would you go to the origin of the species or a hybrid? Similarly, where would you go to study a particular spiritual teaching?

Although all that happens is an illusion the emotions of suffering and pleasure are, to all intents and purposes, real in terms of the purpose they serve: this being spiritual growth leading to nirvana.

All things, and all things acted out therein or therewith, are a creation of the individual Spirit, and therefore the collective Spirit, and are an illusion. It is this illusion that is perceived as reality yet it is no more real than the reality of a dream.

However, it is within this perception that we ment and act on the path to the final realisation.

Note 1. An ancient quote, predating Shakespeare: the world is a "wide and universal theater,"

Note 2. Extract from The Milk Is White:

When we leave our body our life here becomes the 'dream' and where we then are becomes the reality. When we reach full enlightenment, Christhood or full realisation, call it what we will, that is the only reality, and there is no dream of any sort.

From our physical mindset, therefore, we create both the dream 'reality' and the virtual 'reality' with the latter more approximating the reality of the former when technology is refined. In the manner in which the dream and the technologically created 'reality' are similar but not the same so is the similarity between "life in the physical" and our existence when not in the physical.

What one can lose is illusion, is perception, is impermanent.

One can never lose what is.

Where the biblical ‘Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.’ is concerned it is wise to be aware, and remember, that “being without sin” applies to our previous lives as well as the present one. Thus, the statement takes on a different dimension.

One’s life is the consequence of a succession of choices; the major, minor, conscious and unconscious choices. These consequences do not manifest in a single lifetime so, if one’s life is pleasant and trouble free it is very likely that the opposite is still to be experienced to bring experience as a whole into a state of balance. Be not fooled!
