NATURE-GEOMETRY-KARMA-FRAUDS
NATURE-GEOMETRY-KARMA-FRAUDS
What is planted will grow, usually, whether it be by seed or deed.
This natural occurrence supports a host of other truths, postulates, generalizations, in religion, politics, human society, and in common everyday parlance .
Just as "you reap what you sow," there are also "tares" that sown secretly among the wheat, resembling the wheat, but lacking the nurture of the wheat, because tares are from fraudulent wheat.
Tares, then, are one exception to a "reap what you sow" factotum.
Another exception is to have "sown much, but to bring in little," which is a close cohort to you sowing with "others" reaping it all.
These "others" might be birds of the air, weeds of the field,drought from no rain just sun, or by men's hands and feet in war or by tax.
Thus, the word "usually" is used in the first sentence to contextualize the thrust of its import; to limit it; to recognize, and to acknowledge, that, on Earth, things can and do fall apart.
Thus, if in the mere fact of sowing "seeds" in the soil, things can go and do go wrong; that bad things can happen at any stage along seed's development, by natural "blight" of all kinds, regardless of the most carefully laid plans of "mice and men," of "cabbages and kings," still broader truths unfold, are deducible from the foregoing.
Karma inscribed in seed is akin to seeds' natural phenomena, expressed in human aphorism or wise teaching. Karma is not Euclid's geometry. Geometry is proven, is demonstrated in logic, in mankind's deeds, philosophies as, resonant in science, music, art.
The triumph of geometry is built into the Great Pyramid. That edifice shows that geometry can be, has been, applied to earth, upon Earth, magnificently; that man can access divinity on earth in stone, in math, in love, cosmically in harmony with nature, in time.
Karma understood as retribution relies upon human inference, upon mankind's subjective sense of justice and truth set forth in the riddle of the ancient Sphinx, whose karmic nature is in its nose.
