Albert Einstein said, "Everything is energy and that's all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics." Science is vast and mystical being, to which I certainly will never understand, but one that I very highly believe in. Without science there would be no electricity, medicine, exploration or knowledge of space/the universe, plastic or foam, clean running water or soap to bathe, cameras or print photos, cars or airplanes, internet, all sorts of tools, or even condoms. If our entire world basically revolves around science, who am I, or anyone else for that matter, to question the power or intensity of science?
Back to the idea of karma, Newton's Third Law states, "For every action there is equal and opposite reaction." Surely this can be applied to something like human energy. Human beings are possibly the most complex beings in our universe, which is why I believe that karma could indeed be an actual scientific principle.
As you know, I am a writer, not a scientist, but just the fact that I can ponder the strength of science in a powerful and theoretical proves it's strength, once again.
When it comes to my everyday life, I have taken on the practice of karma. I put good out into the world everyday, because I make sure to go out of my way everyday to do something for someone else. It doesn't matter how big or small I've helped people, the point isn't to brag about the energy I release; the point is that I have received very positive rewards since I adapted to this practice. I don't do good things with an expectation that I will get good things in return, I just do them.
If you look at your life and you see a lot of negative, consider what you've been putting out. This isn't to say that bad things never happen to good people, but being good isn't always enough. Again, this is all about energy, in my (and Einstein's) book. You can be kind and helpful, still seeing no results. I have started my own theory that if there isn't a sacrifice made on your behalf, there may be little to no result. The idea is that if you put something out and expect nothing, you are being selflessly helpful to your fellow man, being, or planet.
You may be pissed at me right now. I understand, but keep reading.
York University has recently conducted a study wherein they found that small acts of kindness can benefit your emotional well-being. (FYI: York University is a public, research-oriented college in Toronto, Ontario and it is Canada's third-largest university.) Now, the way I presented karma may seem somewhat different from what I'm saying in relation to this article, but when you think about it, it should make sense. If you do things for other people, you'll start to feel better within yourself, which can lead to great opportunities. You're not going to win the lottery by paying for someone's coffee, but you'll gain confidence, which can help you get a great new job or attract other people (platonic or romantic, you never know...) who are happy, kind, and giving.
It all comes back to the idea that good creates good. My advice: Be thoughtful and compassionate without expectations and, one way or another, positive reactions will be returned to you.
