The Law of Freedom, Part 4: Karma
The Law of Freedom, Part 4: Karma
The Law of Freedom correlates with the idea of Karma. Both relate to cause and effect, you reap what you sow, the law of attraction and we get what we deserve.
Things happen. Why? What is the reason? You can often trace a causality chain to find an answer to why. The mind tries to find answers, sometimes imagining ideas or frameworks to explain some or all things. But are those conceptions true? Can they be verified?
Some think everything that happens to you is deserved; that you earn the positive/negative. Every negative that happens to you is because you did a negative. It’s a balancing system in the universe. Because if you didn’t receive payback, then that wouldn’t be fair/just, would it? That if there wasn’t an automatic payback mechanism, the universe wouldn’t be orderly by letting evil/chaos go on without any balance to bring back order. This is how many people view the idea of karma. Fairness, order, balance and justice underlie the idea of karma. Free will doesn’t always factor into these ideas of how you “deserve” what you get, nor as the only verifiable way to restore order, balance or fairness when evil is created.
Order and Chaos
Fearing Chaos to Seek False Order
The second law of thermodynamics refers to states of order tending to progress towards a disorderly/chaotic state. But both can be looked at as different kinds of order: implicate and explicate. Implicate is a grouping order where simpler things come together to form more organized, higher-order constructs. Explicate is where things separate and distribute symmetrically. At the universal level, everything is ordered; chaos is part of the natural order; order out of chaos.
The greatest chaos humans create is immoral behavior. Moral behavior creates order, hence the symbolism of Ma’at with morality, order, balance, justice, law, etc. Personal chaos for us is still order in the impersonal, amoral universe. No matter what chaos/evil we create, things will still be ordered according to laws that allow that to happen and the results that follow. Humans have a primal fear of chaos, as immorality, pain or conflict. Viewing the universe as favoring our personal order, balance, fairness or security is desired. This has us crave false order/security via the belief in authority, or belief in ideas that make us feel reassured that things end up personally ordered/just, like some ideas of karma.
