How Does Life Support Life?

I was asked a question in a comment to the post Questions & Answers Are Part of the Game of Life. The question was: “what exactly does it mean when you say life always supports life?” Instead of answering it in the comments, I thought this could be very beneficial information for everyone as they play the game of life. I often use the phrase “Life supports Life,” and it has been pointed out that some of you may not really understand that statement; so allow me to elaborate.

Within the Universe, there are natural laws that have existed since the beginning of time and their existence will continue throughout time. These natural laws govern the Universe and support its existence as it spins in the cosmos. One of the most popular natural laws happens to be “The Law of Balance.” This law states the Universe holds itself and maintains itself through a balancing act. The Universe will balance and counterbalance any impact so that life can be maintained and lovingly supported through existence.

As I mentioned in the article, What is Universal Consciousness and Awareness?, there are two qualities that support life, existence, and all of which that entails. Those two qualities are Universal Consciousness and Universal Awareness. Universal Awareness deciphers, analyzes and interprets what is happening and then relays that information to Universal Consciousness and with that information, life continues in some manner. Life supporting Life is a way of expressing how life continues to support life in every capacity. Let’s look at that concept in real life terms.

This concept of life supporting life is easy to recognize relating to the Sun, the rain, pollination of flowers, etc. The sun has a multitude of effects on life. The rain brings much needed moisture. The Earth has plenty of nutrients to feed the plants. The bees pollinate the flowers that provide our food supply and much of the beauty on this Earth. This concept goes on and on, even in the subtleties. For example, when a plant or animal dies, the decomposition of it supplies more nutrients for life to continue in other ways. Another example would be breath. Plants breathe out what we breathe in and vice versa. Universal Consciousness and Universal Awareness takes care of this supporting process, we do not have to do anything!

Now comes the point about what we can do. We can either recognize this happening in life and we can support it from our human perspective, or resist and fight against it. This becomes relevant based upon our belief systems around ‘need.’ Need is the very first human illusion of life. If we believe that we have needs, we will create scenarios that require us needing. If we realize that need is part of the illusion and we also realize that the Universe already has and continues to supply us with everything we need, life begins to look different.

Another way of looking at this is: there is a flow to life, a movement that flows from Source and reunites with Source. During that flowing process, the Universe very lovingly supplies us with everything we need along our journey, our flow. When you completely see this and live in this knowingness, you trust the process; there is less or no attachment to outcome, and life becomes peaceful.

A random thought and another example of life supporting life that just occurred to me: did you know that where something poisonous grows, you can find its anecdote growing close by? For example, Jewelweed is one of the natural cures for poison ivy and can be found growing in and around poison ivy.

Life supporting Life is a natural occurrence. Life maintains balance; life will counter-balance when things become unbalanced, therefore, Life is balance. When we are living a balanced existence, when we are flowing with life, life is easy and peaceful. When we are pushing our own egotistical desires, when we are pushing against life, we become unbalanced and life will counterbalance that and attempt to bring us back to balance. From the human perspective, often that process is not comfortable. Remember, paying attention to how we are feeling in any given moment will tell us if we are flowing, fighting, struggling, accepting, or resisting the flow. What we do and how we are being in any given moment is either supporting that existing natural law or not.
