Dar Friends,

Universal sensitivity and response -- why not ?

This is an attempt to describe the 2nd FUNDAMENTAL of the S D .

LAW UNIVERSAL

What keeps us running>
?

Why cataclysms? Were all the people so suddenly and widely killed, hurt,
dispossessed actually there because of their own Karma? 

And what do we know of the karma of the little lives (cells) that might be
affected by a slash or a wound to our finger or arm?  

Do atoms and molecules have "feelings?"  

What about the billions of living cells in our bodies?  

How did they get to be there?  

What are their functions?  

Is self-sacrifice for the great unknown body-corporate one of their
functions? 

In this case, 

Why not say simply that what we call "collective soul" is MAHAT -- the
UNIVERSAL MIND, and what might be added is, that it is the active planning
agent of KARMA. It works everywhere, large and small visible and invisible,
but always healing and restorative.

We tend tm think that the extremely small or the widely dispersed, or the
enormously large are without sensation and "feelings."  

Is that truly so, or is our own sense of coexistence yet to be developed in
those directions?

Can we imagine how and "atom" feels?

What does the human SOUL -- the reincarnating Pilgrim "feel" when it is
killed as in the recent cataclysm?  

Does it think in those supreme moments of residual life of a program of
evolution, and its continuing part?  

Why is it that the immortality of the mind/soul has been concealed from us
so well and for so long ?

Our main problem is recognizing moral distortion as part of the laws'
operation and restoration factors.  

For some reason we tend to be repelled by the idea that there are laws in
operation which are paramount. They support us and give us our cooperative
and entitative LIFE. 

But that is only superficial, we need to probe for the underlying causes.
 
In other words, when any aspect of living Nature is impressed -- say an
"atom" (and this includes "Monads," sub-atoms, and all areas and degrees of
distortion -- or any of the "energy fields," underlying "solid matter") --
or in the cases of a man, or a world, or a solar-system, or a galaxy -- size
and composition is of no consequence, (we are dealing with forces) the laws
of balance and equilibrium which, sensitive and responsive, start to operate
trying to restore the harmony of a previous undisturbed stasis (?),. 

And if that cannot be achieved, then a fresh dynamic equilibrium is seen to
necessarily be added (as a part of the enormous symphony that takes care of
all discords) -- the ever moving and progressing compounded living
existence of all affected beings. 

The immense complexity involved is indescribable, but comprehensible. (Take
for example the channels and actual operations that lead between the idea of
what I am trying to put into words with my mind and the actual finger
movements on the present keyboard.)  

This is so to say, an expression of a theory relating to LAW and the varied
concatenations (Nidanas) of consequences of its being disturbed by what
seems to the local beings affected (cells and other structures) to be random
chance. 

The Universe runs under laws. It also has to be sensitive and intelligent
and aware of the least of its components -- so as to continually and fairly
adjust.

This is frustrating. Yet there has to be reason and logic behind all this.
Or we are again faced with inconsequence. What is the way out?

Best wishes,

Dallas

if you want to take it one step further, maybe the collective soul 
cooperated with nature to bring us the lessons needed. no enemy 
involved, just actions needed for the greater good.
