“Spiritual evolution is governed by the law of cycles. It is cyclical, but on an upward trend.” – Grandmaster Choa Kok Sui
The process of evolution is cyclic by nature wherein what is up comes down and what is down goes up. While it is cyclic, it is also evolutionary. This implies that every time you are in a downward cycle, you come down a little higher than in the previous cycle. You get qualitatively better as you journey through several cycles, with myriad experiences gathered through the ‘pairs of opposites’: pleasure-pain, prosperity-poverty, victory-defeat, fame-defame, honour-dishonour, austerity-luxury, and attachment-detachment.
What you reap when you move up or move down the cycle depends on what you have sown in the past. Generally you harvest the ‘sweet fruits’ of good karma during the upward cycle and reap more of the ‘bitter fruits’ of your negative karma during the downward cycle. This process is automatic and works like the standing order you give to your bank for payment of bills.
How much you ‘go up’ or ‘come down’ during a cycle depends upon what you did in your previous cycles. If your actions were righteous, and you have earned a good amount of karmic income, you will progressively move up to higher levels and thus accomplish rapid progress.
