What do you think of this law?
One of Newton's laws is that "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction". The implications are confounding. Is there an equal and opposite reaction to God? Or to light? etc.
What do you think?

There is ego but I don't think it is equal opposite to God. God's love resolves the ego.

If you consider God or Light an "action", then I suppose there should be an equal and opposite reaction.
I consider them as just a state, not an action provoking a reaction, in my humble opinion.
Now if someone tries to impose their idea of God or Spirit or Light on me (which would be an action), they can expect a reaction from me
The law does however apply to physical as well as spiritual or psychological actions - the best example is teenagers

That is a good point. If there is no action, then is there a reaction?

Thank you, since the question was like: Is there an opposite reaction to a 'chair'?

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.

That was the query. What if there actually was?

Actually, in the physical world, there kind of is: not to the concept of the chair, but to the object as materialised. By the action (I come back to the action here) of sitting on it, you can feel the equal and opposite reaction on your material butt
You sit crooked, it might react by tipping.
Now Newton did indeed, I think solely, apply this to the physical world (think billard balls hit by a queue, car crash, but also interaction of celestial bodies etc).
I do think it can be applied to emotions in reaction to an action, as in, rebellious teenager, reacting to limited screen time, the reaction to that results in them being grounded, reaction to that breeds even more rebellion etc...
Or within a couple, one partner tries to be forceful about an issue, you can be sure that there is a reaction, either overt or repressed, which either leads to discussions or resentment eating away at them, leading to the explosion later.
I really think that the principle (if not law) can be found in many different aspects of life, material and otherwise, and understanding it could help a lot in many conflicts...

> The implications are confounding.
Newton's 3rd law is a physics law, not a mystical/spiritual/religious law.

In Newtonian, action is a force in a given moment, so an object in motion is not an action, but an object that changes velocity is acted upon by a force. Because force is the product of mass and acceleration, action and reaction are two sides of the same coin.
Gravity is not a force. It is the curvature of space/time around a mass. Since gravity accelerates mass, and as Einstein explained, you can't tell the difference being acted on by gravity or existing in an accelerating capsule, we can formulate gravity as a force - even though it isn't - since all mass is accelerated by the curvature it causes in space/time.
