As ye sow, so shall ye reap has many layers of understanding. At first glance, it seems to mean that you get what you give.
At the same time, I affirm again and again that there is no time; therefore, there is no cause and effect. How can there be in Eternity?
Of course, in Earth reality, if you cut yourself, you bleed. If you trip, you fall. If you smile, odds are that someone will smile back at you. What a nice custom this is.
In Reality, in Heaven time, named Infinity, there is no sequence. There is energy yet not action. The energy is love. What can follow love? What can stand next to it?
Certainly, your thoughts create, yet it is not quite so stark as night following day. You could think a kind act, you could, indeed, be kind, and be slapped. You could commit a crime and be rewarded. Infinity is not finite.
All possibilities exist on Earth, and this is one of the aspects of light that makes life so interesting and which also makes life daunting.
We can say that committing a kind act is its own reward. That is it. We can say that committing a crime is its own punishment, even when someone seemingly gets away with it. We can also say that it doesn’t matter in the end. We can also say it matters very much, for life is at stake, and life is a great gift.
Can We say that as you reap, you sow? This possibility exists yet is not always. Contrary are the ways of the world.
Nothing is a sure bet as seen from the eyes of the world.
There is more to the world than meets the eye.
