There are certain phenomena in life, the mechanism of action of which is quite difficult to explain, and sometimes even impossible. You cannot escape or escape from these phenomena, no matter how much you would like to. They are the most real inevitability that representatives of the human race have to put up with. They represent a kind of contract offer with the Universe, to which, willy-nilly, every person born on Earth joins.
One of these phenomena is the boomerang law. People learned about the existence of this fundamental law even before our era. In the Bible you can read that a person will reap what he sows, and everyone will be rewarded according to his deserts.
The centuries-old wisdom of different peoples repeats this! It’s not for nothing that our ancestors argued that there is no need to dig a hole for another person, since you can fall into it yourself. And you shouldn’t spit in the well, because no one knows when exactly the need will arise to drink water from this well.
It always responds the way it sounds. And it doesn’t matter whether it resonated at the conscious or unconscious levels. The motivation doesn’t matter at all: whether it was because of envy, jealousy, anger, stupidity or compassion. Everything comes back sooner or later!
What is the boomerang law? What is the essence of this phenomenon? How does the boomerang law work in our lives? What is the boomerang law from a psychological and religious point of view? How to launch a boomerang of good? Today we will discuss the boomerang law and try to understand why the idea of justice is an integral part of human society!
Faded hope for boomerang
Surely you have heard about this situation, since it is quite common. The husband left for his young mistress. It was very difficult for my wife to bear the separation and all that could calm her down was the hope of a boomerang. She kept expecting that sooner or later “the cat’s tears would flow to the mouse.” That is, the mistress and husband will receive the full program. They will become sick and ugly, go bankrupt and separate. But years and decades pass. The husband and mistress got married, live richly and happily and raise children.
Forms of manifestation
The boomerang effect in psychology is a dysfunctional result of bad propaganda associated with the emergence in an individual of an opinion completely opposite to primary expectations.
The manifestation of the “boomerang effect” can be observed not only in the media, but also in other spheres of public life. This can be seen most clearly at the stage of election campaigns, when active criticism of an opponent by one of the candidates led to the opposite effect and the emergence of mass sympathy.
A typical example of this behavior is:
- victory B.N. Yeltsin in 1991;
- the leading positions of the LDPR and Communist Party of the Russian Federation parties, after the television persecution of their leaders.
In addition to political and social life, the manifestation of the “boomerang effect” can be observed in everyday reality. In contrast to public consciousness, in everyday life this theory manifests itself as a “forbidden fruit”, as a result of which any limitation is perceived by a person as an incentive to action and a way to further inflame curiosity.
This process was consistently described in “The Boomerang Effect” by Daniel Wegner and consisted in the fact that after reading the novel “Sunday” by L.N. Tolstoy, an American psychologist decided to repeat with his students the incident described in the novel, during which the author told how his older brother gave him the task of not thinking about a polar bear for a certain time. As a result, these were precisely the thoughts that visited Lev Nikolaevich.
As a result of an experiment during which Wegner divided his students into 2 groups, telling some to think about a polar bear and others not to think about it at all, it was found that the ban only encouraged students to have unwanted thoughts.
Based on this conclusion, Wegner formulated the “boomerang law” as the increase in the appearance of obsessive thoughts when trying to control them.
To prevent the emergence of cognitive dissonance, characteristic of the “boomerang effect,” psychologists insist on eliminating harsh taboos in everyday life. More rational, in their opinion, is a way of distracting from a dangerous moment, which does not provoke fixation, but switches the individual’s attention from the dangerous object.
This process can be most effectively illustrated by the example of a parent forbidding a child to climb a tall tree. If there is a severe taboo in the child’s subconscious, a “boomerang effect” is triggered associated with the desire to restore the desired freedom and leads to a mandatory violation of the ban. An alternative offer of play in another, less dangerous place will distract the child, preventing the emergence of a dangerous desire.
Waste of energy and wasted time
The wife was always waiting for retribution for the pain caused to her. She tried in every possible way to reassure herself that the boomerang law existed and was about to start working. However, nothing happened, and the woman felt it was unfair. Coming to this conclusion in adulthood, she realized that she had wasted her life on the useless hope of revenge.

She threw all her strength and energy into waiting, tried to collect all the information about her husband’s new family, looked for photos on the networks and waited for confirmation that the deceiver repented of what he had done. So a lot of time has passed, my personal life is not settled, my youth is gone, there is no hope for better changes.
Conclusion
The result of a correct understanding of the boomerang law
Anyone who once saw the enthusiastic eyes of his beloved or the happy smile of his child, I think, will never forget this moment, since in fact he has already become a living witness to the positive action of the boomerang law.
And having received such an experience once, now he will strive to repeat this wonderful moment again and again. After all, such concepts as Happiness, Joy, Love are very contagious things and cannot leave anyone indifferent.
Today, each of us has a wonderful opportunity to take our rightful place in the single energy chain of Universal Love and launch our boomerang of goodness in order to become not only a receiver, but also a transmitter of all the best and brightest that exists in our difficult world...
Therefore, dear reader, I wish you to avoid indifferent communities in every possible way, and devote all your time to achieving Love and Happiness in life. If this note was in some way encouraging or inspiring for you, then please share your impressions in the comments below.
Resentment
It is a very terrible revenge directly for the person who is obsessed with it. It sucks out all the energy, slows down the growth process, and doesn’t allow you to move back and enjoy life. A person continually returns to a situation when he was hurt, picks at his mental wounds and does not allow them to heal.
A weak hope for the boomerang law allows you to “stay afloat”, but this raft is very weak and is not able to carry it ashore or get to the place of your dreams. You have to constantly get wet, suffer and think about how to survive. Resentment and thirst for revenge are destructive feelings that negatively affect not only the mood and psyche, but also cause irreparable harm to health.

How are the laws of the Universe created?
Our World was designed by the wise Creator in such a way that living in it would not be boring for us and would be instructive. Any path in this earthly life is an experience that is unconditionally valuable, no matter what kind of experience it is.
But we are programmed by a higher Power in such a way that our thoughts, emotions, beliefs are aligned with a vector towards the Light. Maybe not immediately, maybe gradually, maybe over more than one incarnation, but, nevertheless, towards the Light.
Belief in the boomerang law
Let's return to the story of the woman who was abandoned by her husband and agree that the boomerang law exists. Why did she decide that he should “earn money” only in relation to her husband and mistress? What if he became active much earlier? Perhaps her grandmother did something bad, and her mother paid for it. Then the mother also committed a crime, and the abandoned wife must pay for this (after all, the law is endless and can apply to all generations). What if the woman herself once did not take her grandmother across the road? Perhaps now is the time for retribution.
How to launch a boomerang of goodness
Like any normal person who wants the best for himself and believes that it is better to be healthy and rich than poor and sick, I am interested in learning, first of all, how to control the boomerang of good, not evil.
Moreover, in order to create evil, no special wisdom is required. For, as the main character of the cartoon “Little Imp No. 13” taught: “To do a minor dirty trick, you just need to say: “Eni, beni, slave,” and mentally flick your tail.”
The boomerang principle applies everywhere
Fortunately, this is not my method, for I have always believed and continue to believe that Good is stronger than evil, and Love always triumphs over Hate. All this, of course, is good, but when will there finally be a clear and comprehensive answer to the question of how to learn to launch the boomerang of good?
Let me, like the native residents of Odessa, answer the question with a question: “And when you look at your reflection in the mirror in order to shave or powder your nose, what are your thoughts occupied with?”
At this moment, try to smile a little and give a small compliment to your reflection, to yourself. It would seem like nothing at all, but your boomerang of good will go off and a chain reaction will begin. Be sure that your smile will even reach your possible double from the constellation Alpha Centauri.
How does the boomerang law work in life?
Just don’t be surprised later if on your birthday you receive congratulations from the inhabitants of the constellation Cassiopeia. It’s just that on the way home, your boomerang may accidentally turn into a completely unfamiliar corner of the Universe and give you additional greetings from its inhabitants.
After all, they may be the same as us, intelligent beings with their usual needs and “cockroaches in the head,” which need to be gotten rid of as quickly as possible, and they are also well aware of the action of the universal law of the boomerang.
What is good
I think that since we are talking about a boomerang as a means of spreading goodness, then it’s time to devote a few words to this concept itself, so that in the future we will not confuse it with something extraneous.
I honestly admit that of all the many I have previously encountered, I most liked the following definition: “Good is the result of the action of good.” Good, in turn, should be understood as everything that satisfies the daily living needs of people, brings them benefit or gives pleasure to the body and soul.
Boomerang in human life
And if we take into account that we perceive benefit for ourselves as something changeable under the influence of our momentary desires, then only that which meets our aspirations and expectations at a specific moment in time will be perceived as good.
When I am faced with the instant realization of my desire, I consider it a blessing for myself. But if the embodiment of my desire is delayed in time or space, then there is a danger that it will never become a benefit for me due to the fact that I have already developed new desires.
I think that men who at some time in the past were preparing to become loving fathers will understand me well. After all, it is very, very difficult to please your wife in her food preferences when she is in an interesting position due to the constant change in her desires.
Therefore, it is very important to understand that the soul is primary in relation to the body, and its needs are dominant in a person’s life, even if he does not believe in the existence of the Eternal God and the Immortal Soul.
An attentive reader can say that this is all theory, but in practice everything is completely different, especially since the concept of good belongs more to the category of dynamic rather than static structures.
I completely agree with this statement and, to complete the picture, I am ready to give an example from my distant childhood, confirming that goodness is that good that is dynamically and constantly developing.
There was a time when I really liked a toy - a colorful and shiny ball with a long elastic band. You tie a rubber band to your finger and throw the ball anywhere. Wherever it flies, it always returns back to your hand.
Attributes of the boomerang law
If you are attentive and focused enough, the return phase will be quite successful, but if you just get distracted and miss the moment when you need to catch the ball, you can even get painful sensations from an unsuccessful contact with it.
If we imagine for a moment that each of us is the same ball, then in some completely unknown way we are all connected to each other by similar elastic bands, only absolutely invisible and beyond the control of our senses.
So it turns out that if I stretch or compress these invisible threads (aka rubber bands) through my actions or thoughts, this will inevitably lead to the opposite action on the part of my environment. Moreover, the speed and force of recoil will directly depend on the direction and strength of my personal impact.
Even if I do not receive confirming information from my physical senses at a particular moment in time, this does not mean at all that the boomerang law has ceased or has not yet begun to operate in my life.
In any case, to check the very fact of its existence and actions in realizing your desires, you just need to take it and try to launch your own energy boomerang and see what comes of it.
The main properties of the boomerang law
Boomerang law examples from life
In the course of implementing such a personal research project, so to speak, you will have to face the fact that all phases of your boomerang’s flight will have their own personal properties and qualities. Moreover, they will in no way contradict the general law, but will only confirm it.
If you wish, you can find a lot of properties and qualities of the said law, but one of its main properties is that the boomerang always reaches its goal, and then returns to the starting point of launch, so to speak, to convey a message about the completed task, but with force much larger than at launch.
Therefore, you always need to be very careful not to miss this moment, since it depends on whether I can continue to use this weapon in the future and consolidate my skill in controlling it or not.
Another quality of this phenomenon is that the response in the form of an expected victory or unsuccessful attempt occurs very, very quickly in comparison with past historical periods.
If a hundred years ago it took years and even decades to receive a counter-reaction to one’s own actions, now in some cases this takes a matter of minutes or even seconds. To see this for yourself, just watch this video.
What is a boomerang in the life of any person?
The compression of time and space led to the fact that instead of the usual law of sowing and reaping or cause and effect, we moved to a more dynamic, and practice-tested, law of the boomerang.
My personal experience in this matter allowed me to formulate one rule. The result of my attitude towards the world around me can manifest itself in two different forms: in the form of retribution or retribution for what I have done.
In the event that, in a state of irritation or dissatisfaction, I utter mentally or out loud any impartial “wishes” addressed to specific people or simply to the space around me, then, naturally, in response I will receive what is called retribution (return bribe, retribution or revenge) for what he did.
Manifestation of power in the boomerang law
If my actions have a positive direction and bring concrete benefit to a person, then in return I will receive the same thing, but this will be called retribution. It is the opposite or reciprocal giving.
So it turns out that you shouldn’t behave in life like a bull in a china shop, not paying any attention to the needs and requirements of other people, so as not to receive a backlash in the form of well-deserved retribution.
It is much better to make the meaning of your earthly Existence the search and expectation of good for your actions, so that your whole life not only changes, but acquires new incredible colors. Only in this case, with each new day you begin to notice more and more opportunities for still small, but already very bright actions.
If you follow this path, then the mind and consciousness will begin to be renewed daily, and the heart will be reborn again and again in the highest energies of Love, Good and Light. And even if it sounds very, very pompous, such an activity is worthy of starting to practice it every day.
Veiled thirst for revenge
From all of the above, it becomes clear that the philosophy regarding the boomerang law is not only wrong, but also harmful. It has a veiled thirst for revenge. This means that a person is not able to let go of a grudge, forget all the bad things, put himself in the position of the offender and somehow justify his action. He mistakenly believes that all mistakes must be paid for. At the same time, he forgets that there are no sinless people. We all offend someone at some time, but we don’t always even realize it. Therefore, if everyone “pays the bills,” nothing good will happen in life. The concept of “happiness” will disappear, and only retribution will remain to a greater or lesser extent.

How did demons appear?
What happened next, most likely, was the quintessence of gratitude and Love. It sounded (or somehow it was indicated throughout all the varieties of created Universes) “So be it!”
And the closest entities were sent to the maximum distance from the Creator in a subtle sense. They lost his warmth, Light, forgot about his Love and became... demons.
These subtle demons each had their own specific sphere of influence. And from now on they were responsible for detecting, controlling and generally taking care of negative thoughts and emotions.
And also over people’s beliefs and the consequences of all this. People, as a way for the Creator to live multifaceted experience in matter, were already available, of course.
Correct perception of the boomerang law
There is such a concept, which means the boomerang law exists. However, you should not try it on your grievances and the way people behave. There are different circumstances, different situations happen. The life of one person and all people consists of all this. It is very important to perceive any laws from the point of view of an optimist. He will never wait for someone to feel bad. On the contrary, he understands that having done good to another person, he can expect the same in relation to himself. Moreover, do not count the number of good deeds, but simply consciously increase the level of goodness. And if you help someone, the boomerang law will probably work, and someone will help you.
Now everything has changed and will there be retribution for sins?
But now everything has changed. We have changed the dimension. Now we are already in the fourth dimension and, if you believe quantum physicists, and there is no reason not to believe them, because they are always several steps ahead, we are steadily moving towards moving into the fifth dimension - the space of Love.
What has changed in connection with the issue at hand? Space is steadily shrinking. According to Hinduism, now this very “breath of Brahma” is happening, when we are getting closer to the Source that loves us and everything that exists.
Along with Space, changes occur in time. Everything here is too complicated and not particularly relevant to our topic today. Therefore I will not go deeper. I will only say that cause and effect, thought, action and the development of events with the ending that they gave rise to are now much closer to each other.
Moreover, they now bear the newly created name “direct karma”, that is, they are delayed from each other by a minimum temporary distance.
Forward movement
You should never expect that evil will return to the offender. If you leave home in a bad mood, there is a risk of ruining it for everyone around you and returning home in an even worse mood (troubles will be attracted, and there will be little to please you). You need to treat resentment in the same way. If the abandoned woman accepted and let go of the situation, she would take care of her personal life and create a second family. Instead, she spent all her energy on revenge (and not with her own hands). Therefore, you need to fight your negative feelings and emotions, abandon the philosophy of the boomerang law in its negative understanding. You need to move forward and hope that your forgiveness today will return to you in the form of happiness in all areas of your life.

What it is
Let me remind you that a boomerang is a throwing object that returns to the launch site. In ancient times, it served as a combat and hunting weapon among the Australian aborigines. When handled correctly, the boomerang lands precisely in the hands, but if launched incorrectly, it can kill the hunter himself.
The boomerang law is the principle by which everything a person does comes back to him. Both good and bad.
This theme is reflected in a variety of sources, from the Bible to folk art and poetry. For example:
- Judge not lest ye be judged.
- Don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself.
- As it comes back, so will it respond.
- Don’t dig a hole for someone else, you will fall into it yourself.
- What is hello is the answer.
- Don't spit in the well - you'll need to drink the water.
American writer and mystic Carlos Castaneda often repeated: “If you don’t like what you get, change what you give.”
One can also recall the famous lines of Omar Khayyam: “Don’t do evil - it will come back like a boomerang, don’t spit in the well - you will drink the water.”
In simple words, the boomerang law is a relationship of cause and effect, only extended over time. It serves as a reason to think about your actions. If you selflessly do good deeds, they will return to you in the form of success and other benefits. Otherwise, you shouldn’t be surprised why there is a lot of indifference, envy and aggression in your life. Remember: what goes around comes around.
The boomerang law is sometimes called the boomerang effect, but the two should not be confused. The latter term is used in the media and means the audience’s reaction to this or that public information. For example, when a famous blogger criticizes a film, his followers form a negative opinion about the film being discussed, even if they have not watched it.
