“Faith without works is dead.”

—James 2:26 (Bible)

Introduction

Because we are all spiritual beings having a human and physical experience on Earth, we cannot escape from actions that align with our spiritual development.

The purpose of the One in creating physical universes with limitations is to express itself and experience free will.

This is done through polarization, where the undivided One creates the veil of Maya and polarity to forget its original non-dual nature.

In doing so, the soul may experience the opposite poles of yin and yang, such as light and darkness. Only through this veil can it choose.

And only when it chooses between which duality to manifest (such as joy or sorrow), may it broaden its spiritual perspective.

And only when its perspective has broadened can the spirit manifest physically and actualize that inner spiritual reality.

Heaven and hell are not places that exist in the afterlife, as purported by many religions.

Instead, they exist within us, as vibrational frequencies that we embody. If we embody negativity, our lives will be filled with suffering. If we personify positivity, our lives will reap its rewards.

Thoughts are the language of the spirit, but actions are the language of the physical plane.

Only when our thoughts have been affirmed and validated through action can our spiritual growth in a particular domain be complete.

For instance, to manifest the later spiritual stages, one must not only harbor thoughts of love and inclusion but also embody them in daily life.

Thoughts without action are mere imagination. Actions without thoughts are merely sleeping-walking.

It is when we marry thoughts and action that we become expressions and manifestations of the One, bringing heaven or hell to Earth.

Tetris as an Analogy

Illustrating this law with Tetris is straightforward, as I can draw on my personal experiences to demonstrate it.

When I first started playing Tetris in the first year, I was more erudite than I was practical. I would only study, observe, and research Tetris methods, but I rarely fully immersed myself in the game by playing it.

As such, during that time, my peers would often mock me for not backing my Tetris guides and research with experience.

I created Galactoid Tetris WordPress, my core Tetris research and guide website:

However, for a long time, few people took my work seriously because of my inexperience.

Therefore, I practiced my craft for five years, until I could make many T-spin setups with little hesitation, such as:

Eventually, as I streamed on Twitch, I gathered close to 800 followers. More people were drawn to my gameplay because my Tetris guidance was reflected in it rather than just spoken words.

I eventually became so adept that I wrote four Tetris guidebooks:

Now, people take my works seriously and no longer disparage me as they used to.

To summarize, people took me seriously only after I had proven myself by synergizing my inner values with action.

Personal Applications

This law can be generalized to many aspects of one’s earthly incarnation as well. Consider the following cases:

1. Do you often preach values of love and acceptance, but secretly, deep down, you harbor a veiled disdain for certain people of some countries or races?
2. Do you often say that you are an honorable person who does not betray others? Still, deep within, you are plotting to take down someone’s reputation?
3. Do you often say you wish to donate a million dollars to charity, but end up donating not a single cent?
4. Do you often say that you wish to write a hundred books in this life, but end up not writing a single chapter after vowing to do so for many years?
5. Do you say you wish to find a passionate hobby or project that you can lose yourself in and go with the flow, but never did after decades?
6. Do you tell yourself that you wish to reach ego transcendence? Yet, you are envious of or threatened by people more spiritually evolved than yourself?
7. Do you often say you wish to learn from the best Tetris players, yet you are fearful of their playstyle, because you fear that it exposes your lack?

If the above questions made you realize that you have only internalized an ideal, but have not acted on it, then you have not grown in that regard.

Less mature souls, when they realize this, tend to be defensive. More mature ones would, instead, look within and question why and how they have not yet grown.

Once one has identified the cause, one can grow.

Social and Global Applications

In my opinion, there is nothing more repulsive than a political candidate, group, or corporation that speaks one thing and does the opposite.

Many politicians and corporate leaders in this world often pay lip service by stating that they wish to make the economy more equitable for everyone. However, they only provide small acts of tokenism to pay homage to this intention.

And, in many cases, they often do so only to gain prestige in the eyes of others or their voters. They do not genuinely seek to help others.

If you are reading this book and are in any position of power, please remember the laws of connectivity, perspective, and manifestation that we have covered so far.

Your acts matter more than your ideals. If you do not marry your actions to your ideals, nothing improves in the world.

Are you doing something charitable for the sake of external validation or prestige, or is it a genuine effort to help others out of enlightenment?

I wish you the best and hope your beliefs align with your actions to benefit the broader social world.
