Episode 11 – Reciprocity
Reciprocity is the “what comes around goes around” principle Your browser does not support this audio Reciprocity is about balance.  It’s karmic.  But it’s not a karma or a balance that humans create.  It’s a force, a spiritual influence, a cosmic see-saw that already exists and operates.  We just need to become aware of it if we want to understand that our decisions create our reality.
