Much of what I learned in high school physics has long been forgotten. Newton’s First Law of Motion however remains firmly etched in my mind: “An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion.”
This law commonly known as inertia can be overcome by exerting a force — a push or pull. A force can be applied to put a resting object in motion and to stop a moving object or change its direction. Without that force an object at rest will stay at rest and a moving object will continue moving. (In case you’re wondering why a moving object eventually stops it’s because of an unseen force of friction that works against the movement and causes it to stop.)
As we know everything in the physical world has a parallel in the spiritual world.
An awareness of the law of inertia in the physical realm can provide us with important insights into the concept of inertia in the spiritual realm and guide us in our spiritual development.
