The Equations of Return

Secure in the equations of the quantum universe, we can state the proposition plainly: become compassionate toward yourself and others, and compassion returns in kind; become hateful and resentful, and the universe returns that in kind.

These equations belong not exclusively to human intelligence but to all kinds of intelligence — as long as the intelligence is backed up by one hell of a logic stream.

This is not punishment or reward in any moralistic sense. It is the shape of a coherent system returning what was handed to it. The equations do not judge; they conserve. Every vector of attention is a deposit into a field that eventually pays back the same currency. The only question is what we are putting in.
