The Law of Cause and Effect

To imagine how the law of karma works, consider what happens when we throw
a stone into a lake: it causes ripples that spread out towards the
shoreline, before returning to the centre point.

Human beings constantly emit energy. We create thoughts, emotions and
feelings that transmit vibrations. There are people who tend to radiate
energy and others who tend to absorb it. The energy we give off hits other
people and rebounds back to us. From this law we should understand that if
people send us energy that is not very pleasant, perhaps it is because on
another occasion we sent out this type of energy, although it may have
taken a long time to come back to us.

If we make an effort to give off positive energy, with love and respect for
others, this energy will also come back to us. Positive energy creates a
higher vibration than negative energy. Radiating positive energy produces
an aura around us that protects us from negativity or from feeling hurt or
humiliated. Our ego, which causes the radiation of negative energy, makes
us susceptible to criticism, lack of respect and slander. If our ego does
not take over, the negativity will not touch our inner selves.
