Conservation of Energy

C.W. LEADBEATER: Life After Death
“… for the law of the conservation of energy holds good upon the higher planes of thought and aspiration just as surely as in ordinary mechanics.”

C.W. LEADBEATER: Reality of Astral Plane
“Common though this position is, we may see its absurdity by taking a very simple analogy. The ,man who is using an engine expects to get out of it an amount of work proportionate to the amount of energy put into it, say in the form of fuel. He allows for a certain waste from friction, and for a certain amount given off in the form of heat, but still there is a definite proportion of work which he expects to get out of his engine, because he knows that there is a natural law of the conservation of energy … Yet the very same man who is so certain of the inviolability of Nature’s law in one direction will begin to grumble about injustice if any suffering or sorrow comes to him; whereas the analogy of his own line of thought with regard to the machine would show that the only sensible conclusion would be that since the law of justice is perfect in its working there must undoubtedly have been something wrong in his own action in the past to account for this sorrow which has fallen upon him.”
