Transcending Karma
So, you see, there are many ways in which you can resist and create a blockage in the flow of energy through the system. It is all around some form of a negative thought. And all negativity is an expression of fear. All attempt to control another is really fear. Anger is merely a form of fear. So, the very moment in which the mind is used to think a negative thought, there is a very immediate karmic effect. Given that effect over a period of time, an illness is created in the body. Depression is created in the emotional field.
Now secondly, there is a mediated form of karmic response - namely, that the world around you will, over a period of time, coagulate, create itself in a context that will mirror to you that which seems to prove the negative thought that by now you have forgotten you even created. And then you will have the negative thought again and you will mistakenly believe that the negative thought is there because of the conditions outside of you.
An example would be for someone to see an event occur in life, such as the government raising taxes, and then says,
Yup, I’ve always known that that’s the way it is.
You cannot trust a single politician.
And yet, that one is not seeing that fifteen years ago, he decided that politicians could not be trusted because he heard it from his father and “knows,” in the sense of his mind, that the politicians will always do something to take more money out of his pocket. Then fifteen years later, when taxes are raised, the mind says,
I knew it.
I think I must have been right all along.
See what they did?
This means that politicians can’t be trusted.
When in fact, the politicians are merely the manifestation that fulfills the prophecy.
In this way, I want to invite you to look at your life. How are the events that are occurring, the quality of life you are living, how could they possibly be reflecting a self-fulfilling prophecy? Or how, in other words, could it be merely the fulfillment of the karma of how you are using the mind? Usually, in this secondary form of the way karma shows up, the beliefs or thoughts are very, very old, deep in what you call your unconscious. In fact, as you go back in time and look at your life, ask,
What must I have believed previously
for this effect to be showing up?
For instance, if it is regarding money - if you have no money, look well at what you have believed about money in the past. Especially look to see,
What were the beliefs about money that my parents held?
For indeed, as we have touched on before, each soul drops, in a sense, into this world through the context of the parents. There is a context of perception, belief, and attitude that you begin to be colored by because you are accepting that coloration into the field of your own energy, as a means of making contact with this world and emerging into it. If, for instance, the parents believe that spirituality and material wealth cannot go together and, therefore, to be spiritual means to do without, materially, then look at how your life has evolved. Do you find a block at receiving moneys for being of service to others, but no block in receiving money for doing something you dislike?
Live in that question, beloved friends, and begin to apply it to the whole of your life. Begin to look at your life, look at the effects you experience as your surroundings and your context. Are you alone, with no lover or friends, hmm? What have you believed about the world previously? For somewhere, it is the nature of your thought, the agreements you’ve made unconsciously or consciously about what things mean, the agreements you have made with the culture in which you have been birthed, the family into which you have been birthed, that has actually generated the energy that is showing up as the effects you experience as your life. What thoughts or beliefs were you holding within the mind?
Karma is a most interesting concept and it shows up in many, many ways.
