Karma
What
is Karma?
Karma
is the experiences we manifest in our lives through our previous
thoughts, words and actions.
How does it work?
We
are all in the process of creating our own life.
Each and everyone is a magical being capable of literally
“making up” who and what we want to be. Everything we think, say and do has a powerful impact on this
creation. It is our
thoughts, words and actions that have brought us to the situations
we are now experiencing. It
is our thoughts, words and actions that will continue to create the
remainder of our lives.
We
are all, at our most basic, beings of energy.
This is a scientific fact.
Our energy is a moving metamorphism, exampled by our bodies
rebuilding themselves, at a molecular level, every year.
We are in constant miracle mode.
We are literally flowing with eternally changing energy.
Healthy, wealthy and
going with the flow
When
we are healthy in mind, body and spirit, our energy flows with ease,
accepting this constant interchange of energy without falter.
Our positive thoughts, words and deeds create strong,
positive vibrational waves, cleansing and replenishing us.
When
we are not healthy in mind, body and spirit, we are creating and
experiencing our own sluggish energy. Our negative thoughts, words and deeds manifest as weak, slow
vibrational energy, attracting more of the same energy to us.
Racing through life
Imagine
we’re in a marathon. We begin at the starting line … and now we’re off.
We all move at our own pace.
Each of us is in complete control of our running style and
our individual potential. We
know whether our personal physical, emotional, spiritual and mental
energy is high or low, and we adjust our abilities to fit with this
information. Our known
energy levels will therefore dictate where we place ourselves in the
marathon. Our desire to
maintain our familiar energy level will ensure we stay in the same
position ... and, at whatever rate we pace ourselves, we will find
other people pacing themselves at the same rate.
Our
individual energy level has determined our attainment and our
company.
It’s a personal
choice
This
doesn’t mean we have to, literally or metaphorically, start
running as fast as we can. It
doesn’t matter where we are in the race as long as we want
to be where we are. We
will still reach the finish line.
You or I may want to run this race without putting much
effort into it, preferring a leisurely rate of progress, meeting a
variety of people with similar attitudes running near by, or we may
want to be up with the leaders where there’s more space around and
more chance of achievement, or we may be somewhere in-between.
But
if you or I are unhappy with our present position then we need to
pick up our energy level to the place that feels right for us.
The energy creating us is also in a marathon … an eternal marathon
of movement. The way we
pace our mental, emotional, physical and spiritual energy determines
our running partners and our experiences.
Like hangs out with like.
We run with the people and situations with similar energy
levels to our own energy level.
It we’re unhappy with our life then we need to pick up our
energy level to the pace that feels right for us, where we will
attract the people and situations similar to our newly heightened
energy level.
Cultural Conditioning
Stress
and society taught us to hold onto our emotions.
Stress and society taught us to breathe in a shallow and
restricted manner. Our
cultural conditioning insisted we accept negative thoughts as
“logical”, and bend our dreams to suit the dreams of others.
Now imagine each of these self-defeating lessons relating
back to our marathon. It
doesn’t sound productive or fun, does it? If we held back our passion to win, restricted our intake of
breath, told ourselves that being in the stupid race was pointless
and there was no way we could win, then ran faster or slower than we
wanted to, because someone else wanted us to lose or win,
then all enjoyment of the marathon would be lost.
It is the same with life.
So what’s this got
to do with karma?
Karma
is directly related to our personal flow of energy.
Karma is the results we create and experience from the flow,
or blockage, or distortion, of our energy.
Karma is not retribution.
It is merely the natural outcome of the way we use our
individual energy through our thoughts, words and deeds.
If
we have slowed our energy into a sludge of negative thoughts, words
and deeds then we will attract other sludgy energies because we all
vibrate, or run at a similar pace.
This accumulation of “slow” energy will result in
unfortunate experiences and ill health and a general state of
“joylessness”. We
have created negative karmic feedback for ourselves.
If
we are keeping our energy buoyant then we will attract a similar
energy to our own because we are vibrating, or running at a similar
pace. This free-flowing
energy will wash away our problems as they occur because we are
vibrating, or running with an endless flow of positive
possibilities. We are
creating positive karmic feedback for ourselves.
Karma is fair
Some
people complain that karma is unfair, harming good people and
letting bad people get away with evil. This is a limited observation.
We are all in control of own karma.
Negative thoughts, words and actions do not mean evil
thoughts, words and actions. We
are all guilty of occasional self-pity, anger, bitterness, misery,
depression, arrogance, and the list goes on.
If we made these negative thoughts and feelings, and the
words and actions they engendered, our main focus then we would be
slowing down our energy, and creating more reasons to experience the
impact of mutually slow energy.
Imagine
water pipes … they allow water to run through them easily and
freely, but if debris builds up in these pipes then the water will
not flow as freely. This
is the equivalent to the million and one worries we allow to clutter
our lives, placing debris in our life path, or pipe.
Personal Blocks
Many
people have traumatic occurrences during their childhood and
adulthood. These
experiences can be so traumatic that the victim will disassociate
from the experience and block or diminish the memory.
This denial results in clogged energy.
Going
back to the water pipes analogy …
if the pipe has a sudden intake of rubbish, it will become
clogged near the point of intake. Water will have difficulty seeping around and through this
obstruction. It is the
same with the human condition.
Intense stress can clog the flow of energy, forcing it to
move slowly through the obstruction or obstructions.
Our energy is also polluted by the retained traumatic
experience as easily as water would be polluted by an unhealthy
obstruction.
All
obstruction, all debris, must be cleared before human energy, or
water, can flow freely and cleanly.
Cleaning away these obstructions takes time and effort and courage
but, if we want to have the best possible life with our energy
flowing towards all the wonderful experiences we are meant to be
having, it has to be done.
How can bad people
win?
We
may witness people using their lives to accumulate power and/or
wealth by what ever means they can … and being very successful in
their focused endeavours. This
is an area where people become confused by the concept of karma.
How can harmful deeds have positive effects?
Why does the corrupt politician, for example, have immense
wealth and control by misusing the trust placed in him?
Our
corrupt politician has focused on what he wants from life, and it is
not love and peace and honour but power and wealth.
He has built the life he desired, in the same way we all
build our own lives. He
has imagined himself being all-powerful and he didn’t care whom he
had to associate with to obtain this image.
He is unaware of the way he is damaging his own energy flow.
He is only aware that all the wealth and power he has amassed
is still not easing the pain in his heart nor eradicating the nasty
thoughts in his mind, nor making people love him. Mr Corrupt
Politician attracts negative situations and people into his life
because his own energy is negative.
He may appear to be happy but appearances easily belie the
internal experience of each human being.
Wealthy with Life or
Rich with Money
If
the most important desire in our life was to be financially rich and
we focused all our thoughts and dreams and actions towards this
outcome, it is highly likely that we would achieve our objective.
Our mental, emotional, spiritual and physical energy would be
vibrating at a high level in this area because of our determination
and faith in our goal setting.
But this is only one area of our life.
The success of our entire lives needs a balanced perspective,
giving us each good fortune in all areas.
The rich man is not necessarily a happy man.
He might be downright miserable, living in his own
comfortable hell. It
all depends on the thoughts, words and deeds he used to bring his
financial wealth into existence.
We
all have the capacity to be completely aware of the way we create
our personal world but most of us unconsciously create a world we
don’t really want, because we are focusing our thoughts, words and
actions on creating unwanted life experiences.
It’s all up to us
…
Consistently
thinking how unfair life is or how unhappy we are, consistently
sharing conversations filled with negative words and attitudes,
consistently actioning the urgent rather than the important pushes
our karma in front of us and we keep walking into it. The bad news is that each and every one of us is responsible
for the way we live our own lives.
If we have made our karmic bed badly, it’s bound to be
uncomfortable.
The
good news is also that each and every one of us is responsible for
the way we live our own lives.
Karma flows along with our energy and, because we can change
our thoughts, words and deeds any time we want to, we can also
change our karma. Focusing
on our true desires, giving our best in all areas, being aware of
everything we do, think and say and adjusting our thoughts, words
and actions as needed, cleanses our energy and stimulates its
vibration to a higher level. We will make miracles happen as a matter of course when we do
this. We are all meant
to be miracle workers. It
is our karma.
