Law of fairness in mysticism

Greetings to everyone,
While perusing “The Good and Bad of Mantra Chanting” and “The Power of the Supernatural World” by Tuetho, I felt compelled to share insights on the law of fairness in mysticism. I aim to dispel any misconceptions surrounding mantra chanting and alleviate fears that it brings disaster to esoteric practitioners, particularly those known for their benevolent deeds. It’s often believed that such individuals end up in poverty, and misery, or even lose their lives without heirs. However, the supernatural world operates by clear laws, though fanciful tales have obscured this truth, portraying it as mysterious and ominous. Unfortunately, esoteric practitioners, while using their powers to assist others, unwittingly breach the law of fairness in mysticism.
The principle of life dictates that when you aim to assist others, you must rely on your personal resources and efforts. This rule extends to the unseen realms too. If you seek to heal illnesses or absolve sins (negative karma) for someone, you must have accumulated enough blessings to do so, rather than relying solely on divine intervention, especially for individuals burdened with negative karma. Similarly, you cannot withdraw money from the bank to aid others; you can only borrow if you meet the criteria.

While it’s admirable to assist others, donating all your wealth or blessings will eventually result in personal misfortune and financial crisis, as you exhaust your own blessings in aiding others. This demonstrates the principle of fairness in action.
Many shamans, sorcerers, and occult practitioners lack an understanding of the principle of fairness. Ignorant of their insufficient blessings, they persist in praying to the Deities or performing rituals to heal or absolve bad karma. While their prayers may be granted and blessings lent to them, they unwittingly take on the burden of others’ karma or debt. This debt must be repaid by the practitioners in the future, akin to someone living beyond their means and accruing debt. Consequently, these practitioners toil tirelessly throughout their lives and still face bankruptcy, burdened by the debt of others. Other instances highlight the law of fairness, where occult practitioners successfully heal others only to suffer from the same illness themselves.
The following account illustrate the law of fairness in action:
Mr. T.K Hoa, a member of the mystical sect Truc Lam Nuong, was 70 years old when he received the Initiation into Secret Teachings from me. He then revealed that he believed he possessed healing power. Upon encountering a monk with a swollen and painful arm, he prayed to Kwan Yin Bodhisattva, resulting in the monk’s immediate recovery. However, on his way home, Hoa’s own arm became swollen and painful. Seeking guidance from his guru, who performed rituals at the Buddha altar, Hoa was told: “The reason you are experiencing this symptom is because the deities were striking the monk, and you were inadvertently blocking the blows with your arm. You must endure for a while, and it will be all right.” Seconds later, Hoa’s arm returned to normal. He shared that since that incident, he refrains from praying for healing for others.

Another occult practitioner recounted to me how he used magic to heal his friend of hepatitis, only to contract the same disease shortly afterward. His family was deeply distressed by his actions, as they believed he had brought trouble upon himself by helping others.

Similarly, I learned of another practitioner affiliated with the mystical Kungfu Buddha sect. In his youth, he gained a reputation for using magic to heal various injuries. However, later in life, he began experiencing a phenomenon known as ‘being planted by Heaven.’ This condition caused his body to suddenly stiffen, remaining rigid for hours at a time, regardless of what he was doing or where he was.

The stories above serve as reminders from the Deities, emphasizing the principle of fairness in both life and mysticism. Occult practitioners should refrain from praying to Heaven and the Buddhas to obtain blessings to donate to others. This is because those who receive help often attribute it solely to the practitioner, rather than recognizing the role of the Deities. Therefore, practitioners should not exploit divine power to gain personal recognition or fame for their acts of compassion.
In summary, while it is permissible to assist others, practitioners must be mindful of their resources and limitations

In summary, while it’s commendable to offer assistance to others, it’s crucial to assess your resources and limitations beforehand to avoid overextending yourself. Just as a financially-strained individual who donates beyond their means only accumulates further debt, failing to recognize one’s boundaries in helping others can lead to spiritual bankruptcy. This underscores the importance of understanding the principle of fairness and acting accordingly, as accruing such debts is a consequence of not comprehending the divine law of fairness.
