Law of Supply and Demand

By Marlene Buffa 

I need the expensive, big filter on my reverse osmosis water system in my kitchen. I replaced all the other filters, and in the process my handyman noticed the big filter needed replacing as well and — oops! — the O-ring broke. I put the new filter on my to-do list, but didn’t buy one yet. Consequently, the water is still being filtered, but because of the vacuum created by the missing O-ring, it dispenses slowly and only a little bit at a time.

And then, I got to thinking….

Aside from the mechanical impairment, there is a deeper interpretation of this whole water issue. Is it the supply? No, I have an unlimited supply of water from the city. Is it the demand? No, I know that when I turn the faucet on, I get water. It’s the flow! Something is broken that impedes the flow of my good to me. The good is always there, in total abundance. I ask for what I want, when I want it, and it gets delivered. However, the amount of my good flowing to me remains restricted by something that can be fixed. If only all our spiritual needs could be answered with an obvious, “This is broken. Fix this and it will work.”

The magic formula
The world breathed a sigh of relief when Einstein published his Theory of Relativity. With the seemingly simple E = MC2, we thought we got a handle on the universe. Albert discovered it, defined it, and now we can all relax, right? Great — the cosmos is now figured out, but what about you?
