Whatever we do to others, we do to ourselves (Chief Seattle)




Humankind has not woven the web of life.
We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.
All things are bound together.
All things connect.

Chief Seattle, 1854


Would you like to comment on this?

Why do not you go first for yourself into it ?
I see you are having something on your mind.


Yes, My God, You are really having good eyes.
You have already often explained justice exists, everything is connected, what you do in life, will come back to you.
Once.
But this once. That’s too long for me.

A man mistreating a woman, he should be mistreated the same day.
Or someone throwing garbage in nature, it should be great he experienced the same night this garbage has polluted the sheets of his own bed. And so on.
Endlessly one can continue making mistakes out of free will, pollute the surroundings, torture or being cruel before the correction comes.

Check Hitler, he was able to continue with his cronies for 10 years and in the meantime the Jewish race was massacred, innocent old women snatched from their armchairs and gassed. That can not be so. The punishment, the vengeance, the rectification, the repercussions of devilish behavior  are taking too long for me. Well that was what I had on my mind.

Let it be said.
From the perspective of man everything takes endlessly long, too long and should really happen at the same time, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Today murdering, tomorrow be murdered, as you describe it.

From God's perspective this is the case.
Because a murderer killing thirty years long, and experiencing after his death for 40 years the horrific consequences of his actions, in solitude and with physical suffering,  going through hell for 10 more years out of regret and remorse for what he has done on earth, then recovering for 20 years and becoming a loving helper in the spiritual world, these 100 " earthy" years are happening from God's perspective in a split second.

For God is billions of years interfering with these ( and other ) planets, half a million years with the human evolution, for 30.000 years with human civilization, for 200 years with overpopulation and pollution.
To God are the moment the killer for the first time stabbing his victim and the moment he has become a loving, spiritual helper and paid back all his debts and faults and shortcomings one single moment.

The moment the murderer stabs, God sees all this, at a glance:
  • the suffering the murderer is creating for himself , before and after his death
  • all preceded in this derailed and battered life of the murderer
  • the life experiences for the others enduring this murder, both the victim and the beloved ones: much good things are involved if one is experiencing grief and when their soul by the suffering became liberated from unimportant things and small worries
  • how society is reacting on this murder, and as much the society is spiritual and civilized, as much one is focused on the victim inside the offender.

The material world has its own laws, developed within the laws of God , and where man is only seeing overflow the bucket,  God sees who and what in the long-term were filling up this bucket and the blossom after all receiving this flooding water. Where you only see the moment of horror and where you are feeling indignation about the perpetrator, God sees the web woven around the perpetrator and victim, the web which is woven by the whole society.

“All things are bound together. All things connect”

Therefore, I ask you :
  • Did Hitler commit his acts alone or together with his people? Did he just deport alone all Jews, or was he helped by the municipalities and the police in the occupied villages?
  • Has a man who throws garbage in nature, done this alone, or has he been spoiled and superficially raised and is he living in a society of materialism and greed?
  • Is the man who is mistreating a fellow man on the street, not often for himself mistreated by his father, or boys from his neighborhood, and did his teachers guide him sufficiently to overcome his lousy upbringing?
  • Is the extinction of species not partly caused by shutting one’s eyes for the consequences, and so fouling one’s own nest.


And finally don’t all people, all societies, all offenders, all events have to get time to make things right,  to come to learn from the events,  to understand everything and above all have to get time to unlearn things?

Are you, My son, not just impatient?
For do know it literally happens the way you want: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
But firstly: this does not seem to happen in your earthly time terms, but from a spiritual perspective the correction indeed takes place immediately.
And secondly: this is done with love and understanding for earthly human development and for the free will. And this free will is needing a little more time than you may realize.

My blessings to you all
