KARMA

What is karma? Karma is to be separated from your beloved. Karma is the relationship to the mind. Karma is a word that suppresses the oneness. Karma is a very complicated path to explain. The force of karmic decisions is upon you in accordance to your actions.

 

Yes, karma is the reaction to action – or the action coming and bursting forth, lifetime into lifetime, of reaction. You must always pay – except by the action of grace. All goodness extends from the karmic action of grace. All grace comes from the heart; grace is the act of love from the heart. Be aware, or beware of the slight hesitation that is allowed you by merely having a body – the hesitation of the mind. For in a split second of unity with yourself, you can change, through hesitation, lifetimes of reacting to an action not yet done.

 

Did you ever wonder why you make the same mistakes over and over and wait for a different outcome? Did you ever stop to think why you hurt yourself so much, knowing that you are definitely being abusive to yourself? Did you ever want to know that there is a moment when you can just stop, hesitate, and not enter into the darkest places that wrap you in despair?

 

There are eleven different karmas that we can find ourselves in at any given moment. They are called Karmic Spaces, and they represent the karma that takes up space in your life. The structure of the Karmic Spaces comes from building blocks of unworthiness; after awhile it becomes the structured way of life. The eleven Karmic Spaces bring an understanding that life is continuous thought and that thought goes on and on, lifetime after lifetime, until it is broken with the blessing of non-thought. Once the blessing of non-thought exists, the ego has no place to go.

 

Place yourself in the yogic stream of consciousness, and you will always find the end of duality and the beginning of oneness. Then you are the master of your destiny. The original destiny, or the original time of death, is wiped away by a single action, or a single thought. The mere acknowledgment that you are feeling jealousy or about to go into a rage of anger, or you completely abandon yourself to the ego and find that pride has brought you to the simple place of indifference; or you find that you cry easily and yet do not listen to your own tears fall to the ground on footsteps already taken many, many times over – that very acknowledgment will bring you into the light.
