The 2nd Karmic Law of Creation and Human Act of ProCreation


The 2nd Law and the Act of Creation

The human act of procreation and parenting is closely related to The Law of Creation, which states that life does not happen by itself; we need to make it happen. This law suggests that we have an active role in shaping and creating our reality, and the act of procreation and parenting is a powerful example of this principle in action.

Here are a few ways in which procreation and parenting relate to The Law of Creation:

  1. Bringing new life into the world: Through the act of procreation, humans actively participate in the creation of new life. This is a profound expression of our creative potential and our ability to shape the world around us.
  2. Nurturing and shaping life: Parenting involves not only creating life but also nurturing and shaping it. As parents, we have a significant influence on the physical, emotional, and spiritual development of our children. We actively participate in guiding and shaping their lives, helping them grow and thrive.
  3. Creating a family environment: Parents play a crucial role in creating the family environment in which their children grow up. By making conscious choices about the values, beliefs, and behaviors they model and encourage, parents actively shape the reality of their family life.
  4. Responsibility and intention: The Law of Creation suggests that life requires intentional effort and responsibility. Procreation and parenting are not passive acts but require active engagement, dedication, and mindfulness. Parents must be intentional in their choices and take responsibility for the lives they have created.
  5. Interconnectedness and impact: Just as our actions have far-reaching effects on the world around us, the act of procreation and parenting has a profound impact that extends beyond the immediate family. The children we raise will go on to shape the world in their own ways, contributing to the ongoing cycle of creation and influence.


The Buddha's words in the Dhammapada, Verse 1, "We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world," remind us of the power of our intentions and actions in shaping reality. Through the act of procreation and the practice of mindful parenting, we actively participate in the creation and shaping of life, demonstrating the profound truth of The Law of Creation.

 Karma: Rules to Live By Karma is a concept that originated in Eastern religions, particularly Hinduism and Buddhism, but has since become widely recognized and adopted into popular culture worldwide. Origin: The concept of karma first appeared in the oldest Hindu text, the Rigveda, and was further developed in later texts such as the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita.

Definition: Karma is often defined as the spiritual principle of cause and effect, where the intent and actions of an individual influence their future experiences and circumstances, either in the current life or in subsequent incarnations. It is the belief that good actions and intentions lead to positive outcomes (good karma), while harmful actions and intentions bring about negative results (bad karma). Key aspects of karma include: Causality: Every action, thought, or intention i...

Systemic innovation for countering violent radicalization: Systems engineering in a policy context - Clancy - Systems Engineering - Wiley Online Library by  Timothy Clancy, Bland Addison, Oleg Pavlov, Erika Palmer, Khalid Saeed 2w Systems Engineering Abstract This paper brings a systems engineering approach to policymaking in the context of violent radicalization. We test strategies to combat terrorism under the premise that violent radicalization is a complex system of social contagion resulting in terrorism.  We built a simulation using DIME-PMESII military standards to replicate a terror contagion occurring over 10 years in both physical ...
