Law of Belief (Universal law of life)

Law of Belief....
Belief... ... A very very crucial  element in making our personality.... Seems untrue but given a closer look at this factor, its very simple to figure out the life events and personality  of any given  human being  is majorly  influenced  by  his/ her belief systems.
As children, We ONLY believe in our parents, it is through  them we either start  believing  in GOD, books, people, virtues, etc.
In second  phase, our beliefs  either add or change with what  we witness in our environment , it could be at school, at  home, within society  (if closely  connected) and  most important  part FRIENDS.
Phase three, is the final phase but ongoing till we die  and that  is our EXPERIENCE. Experience with  our own self at what  level has it affected  contributes largely to our changes in our beliefs in adulthood. These beliefs either change with yet another  mind boggling  experience  or would  take strong  roots to guide our lives.
I generally  love to quote  self as an example  as that's  the strongest  subject  I know of.... Me as a child  was born with an inferior  personality  and with a very fragile  self esteem and that  resulted  in a tragic episode  in my pre teens... Having  survived that  episode , yet another trait of guilt  took over me and my inferior  self was getting  stronger. Parents  were clueless  about my inner turbulence  but belonging  to GOD FEARING family, an additional  fear factor was showing  its own reactions.
Thus, my beliefs  were all shallow  as far as my potential  was concerned, my own humanity, my acceptance  in society was all in doubts and thus I can only  say I  didn't  believe  in anything strongly but FEAR of rejection  was building  up high....
Here comes the turning  point, my FEAR which turned  out being my belief , infact the only one and a strongest  one, it proved itself when I  faced it in my early 20 s..... This EXPERIENCE  changed my fear into faith as I could neither  run away from  problem  nor did I  know how to face it but LIFE demanded to MOVE ON....
THE MOVING ON....  Was something that my belief in my internal goodness took over and I  decided to see where LIFE  takes me, I  was then somewhere starting  to feel that  my inner most self isn't  negative  thus nothing  BAD can happen  to my life and there..... MY FIRST POSITIVE  STRONG BELIEF IN MYSELF showed its results  when I  was leading  a decent  life....
Having  experienced this too, my fears weren't  completely  taken away , it only got replaced and then it was my psychological  study in its practical  implementation which came into picture.
I realized  by  then that my fears are  pulling  me away from my achievements, success, and most importantly... My PEACE. 
This  is the time my belief system  is working in my benefit where I  do my bit in everything  but ultimately  rely on the strong universal  law which doesn't  essentially  give me a good time always but I  can move on with  an understanding  of what  each life event gives us and how do we use it  to further  enhance our lives...
In nutshell, we as grown ups should  be extremely  careful in not caging our kids into a belief  that has conquered  us (unless it is fear free and positive) and understanding  a simple  formula to replace  negative  beliefs is to see for self the BELIEF SYSTEM  HAS A STRONG  HOLD ON LIFE EVENTS, thus to reduce
Or eliminate unfortunate  episodes, lets build a strong  positive  belief which can govern the quality of  our life.

Law of cause and effect (universal law)

Karma in Hinduism means Action but I would like to use the Buddhist meaning here which means Deeds(Actions) with Intentions.....

Law of  cause and effect , an universal law  states that each action has a reaction.... Action (karma) is what we as humans  essentially  are bound to indulge into. Religious  scripts  have  time and again highlighted  the ' karma phal' i.e. Fruits of actions by countless  stories  and examples  to help humans  behave appropriately  and enable a healthy  living  environment  in  society.

Let's  focus on TODAY.... What we understand  and how the  philosophy  of karma is conveniently  changed to suit our physical  pleasures... People today  are divided clearly into  more or less two categories.... 1. Hypocrites and 2. Excessively  blunt /careless.

Each category is selfish but have a different  approach  to gain that selfish motive. Well, karma also doesn't  mean we don't  work for our own selves, infact that's  our primary  duty but while accomplishments  of primary  duties our  greed, insecurities, fears, etc takes over us and we remain engrossed in self.... This evil habit proves negative  when under the stride of self help we intentionally  harm others  and  JUSTIFY  our acts as a NO CHOICE  action.

Its while we are affected  by some  adversity in life , we sit back to think where all we committed  those acts which is showing  such reaction. I  wouldn't  want to get  into birth cycle  and past and future  births etc, which some philosophies  believe  and  some clearly don't... Neither  do we as laymen have any knowledge  about what, where, why we are here thus if ONLY, we focus  in this life  where after adulthood  we do have an independent  thought  process to guide us through, its extremely  essential  to abide by HUMANE laws which are independent  in nature and most common in any religion, community, society,etc.

I started my post with a claim  that I wish to quote  and explain  this beautiful  and most prominent  universal  law by the Buddhist  definition  of KARMA, as it defines it as ACTION WITH INTENTION.... now here people  caged with  fear do try and  perform  good acts which should surely  be appreciated  but the universal  law essentially  shows reaction  where action and intention are on same lines... We today witness  huge population  into  philanthropy, social services, etc but have very different  self prestige issues attached to  those services  and not to really HELP the downtrodden. The reason , it becomes  important  to quote  these examples  is to help people in a bit of reality-check  that the entire  noble  act goes WASTE at an individual  uplifting  level if right intentions  are missing  with a great deed....

To not stretch  it further  more, whatever  personalities  we have, we can assure a peaceful  inner self if this law is understood and  abided by nicely....

Take care...
