About Karma …
I should start with this: I am a guy who can’t claim special or higher knowledge and I won’t claim to own or to know anything from above my limited perception, experience(s), knowledge, views, understanding…
The only things which I offer on this subject, as well as with all the others, is just my Current view on the subject, that’s all…
I don’t see a consensus on it, like almost everyone understands it differently, even if in a slightly different way.
Some believe it exists, others don’t, some call it differently, but it’s still (somehow or somewhat) the same thing (I guess?), a cat is still a cat, no matter how/what you call it.
If it’s my doing, shouldn’t I be able to defeat it?
Is it truly unforgiving?
How come?
How about all these ideas that you can burn it?
Supposedly either through good deeds or other methods…
I have heard that there are basically two types of karma: positive and negative (?).
MY understanding is that anything which is Created or Added CAN be Destroyed or Removed, still maybe Karma truly operates on a level where we don’t have control, but, again, IF it’s our creation, through our deeds/actions, patterns, will, emotions, interactions, etc.,then we should be able to burn it or to make it better.
There are all this levels, dimensions, aren’t “Higher Beings” able to burn our Karma?
Are they not allowed?
Are we not allowed?
Why are there so many teachers, so many teachings, so many different views on this subject (Karma and other related ones)?
Some people claim that we learn from it, maybe, but at what cost?
HUGE Suffering, Trauma without limits, sorrow, Loss, unlimited suffering one may say…
Of course, it could be argued that it’s All illusion, yet in illusion, there’s suffering.
I don’t know if I agree on the learning part, for me, suffering brings more suffering, the only way to get out of debt is to stop accumulate it, to change patterns OR to Petition and Get EXTRAORDINARY Help - if we become overwhelmed with suffering and karmic debts (I don’t like such debts and I wish I lived in an entirely different and much better world, but I love my family too much to abandon it, even if I would be offered such a chance…).
Here are a few different perspectives that I heard from Andrea Filip (Idk if she has English content, she is a Romanian using and teaching about theta healing and spirituality) (and maybe Neale Donald Walsch, I’m not sure about his views):
God or THE Divine is Perfect and Can NOT be offended, Ever, not even through the worst acts of small beings called humans (we are like ants, just infinite times smaller), so there is no need for suffering, really.
That’s why unconditional love and forgiveness of self and others is the way towards Godhood, according to this woman - so karma is more like our product, no punishment, no divine laws, but mostly our conditioning, beliefs, codes, etc.? IF I remember correctly, I listened to some of her lectures years ago.
She mentioned the Scale or Map of Consciousness by David R. Hawkins and quite a few other sources, studies, discoveries, etc.
(Of course, she is not against laws or corrections, but with the understanding that they are human laws, needed by us in our societies.
She teaches a TON of things on all kinds of subjects.)
I would like to mention another author, who inspired me, through his teachings on morality, love, spirituality, etc.:
Dr. Dumitru Constantin Dulcan, another Romanian, a Neurologist and Psychiatrist, author of quite a few books, among them an old one, “The Intelligence of Matter” (1981).
Now, Idk for sure his stance on karma (not 100%), but I heard him talking about how we have ingrained in our brains the difference between Good and Evil, how a healthy brain has these patterns and an in built morality (Divine Laws built Within?) …
He teaches about how we are responsible to be healthy (since health is kind of his field), he mentioned forgiveness quite a few times, how if someone forgives (and firgives himself/herself?), that person can even be cured of all sorts of diseases, including cancer - basically, your body is your responsibility, your chemistry, your making/creation, your karma, if you will…
He mentioned Meditation and different Techniques and their power and he mentions the impact of our deeds, thoughts and feelings on our body (so your health is your karma, you have to be VERY responsible) - well actually, he has books on these subjects, but I like to hear people talk, rather than read their words.
Now, 2 extraordinary people with whom I talked years ago, offered me their views, at least some of their views and some of the knowledge they possess:
Both of them are healers, energy healers, one of them healed me in the past (the cost is quite High, couldn’t afford it nowadays), the other is a friend - although I haven’t spoked with either one in years.
The first one is Harsh, very strict - “Every thing you do, big or small will impact you later, nothing goes without payment”, according to him, we pay for everything, I don’t think he mentioned any (conventional?) way to avoid karma.
He doesn’t eat meat, he loves animals (and people lol) and is quite the noble soul, but very strict when it comes to “Higher Laws”.
The other one is a mystery, I still can’t understand what he told me.
It sounded like for each individual, karma acts in a unique way, since there are countless variables, including the strength of the individual, his will, his perseverance, his learning patterns, his soul, etc.
He also told me that EVERYTHING is kind of Relative in this Universe, since there are different types of rules and laws, beings and Idk, Energies (?) interacting and moving and shaping things in the 3D world.
He tried to explain his overview, but it was too complicated for me, he had vast knowledge, he was quite the reader, many books he read (I lost the list of books he gave/recommended me, unfortunately…)
This one taught me that connection to the Divine is very weak here on this planet, that this place is ruled by dark ETs who harvest souls (something like that), in contrast to the first one, who was all about Divine Love being present on All levels, Everywhere (although understood much better if you reach higher states, higher chakras and Higher consciousness) - this one was quite a Learned person as well, he knew stuff from medicine to physics, from religions and many spiritual paths too.
You can just imagine how many questions I asked lol…
I think they were tired of me lol.
I can’t give you the names of these 2 persons unfortunately.
Edit: I like to learn new things, perspectives and I never quite conclude 100% that “THIS is the Truth” - I want to improve, so naturally, I will gather all the good knowledge and apply some of it, whenever and however I can.
There is theory and there is practice, there are highly theoretical things and practical things - in practice, I will try to Apply THE Highest Truths from All these different spiritual views:
I AM FORGIVING And Loving Everyone, including Myself or Especially Myself.
I am not staying in low vibes like guilt, shame, Sadness, hate, envy, etc.,at least I try to distance myself from these, I try to change patterns, to choose Better things to focus on, Higher Things like Love, Forgiveness, Peace, Learning, Acceptance, Self Improvement (you have to accept some things, but you must achieve better, search for better, you must improve), Etc.
I try to not inflict unnecessary damage or hurt or suffering on other beings, especially on humans (it’s my level, I am human after all, at least here and now, in this 3d world, Idk the rest of the story).
I want to act in such ways as to improve myself, my condition, my life, my dear ones lives, again, without doing harm in the process (although some harm is unavoidable, I guess).
I don’t think that pleasure is evil, bad or lacking, but too much, too little or whatever disrupts my life can be a problem, so I’ll choose to avoid certain substances, certain patterns, etc.
In Essence, I want to minimize suffering, my suffering first of all and to reach for new knowledge, strength, power, pleasure, health, wealth, a better life on all levels, a better and quite balanced life (hopefully).
Concluding on the Karma business, I will try to burn it or to improve it through different methods, through all sorts of actions and lack of actions.
