KARMIC SPACES

Did you ever wonder why you make the same mistakes repeatedly and wait for a different outcome? Did you ever stop to think why you hurt yourself so much, even though you know 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. They are as follows: (1) jealousy; (2) anger; (3) pride; (4) indifference; (5) ego of self-thought or self indulgence; (6) lack of awareness; (7) intent; (8) worldly desire; (9) abuse of power; (10) desire to be right; and (11) attachment.

The Karmic Spaces are not permanent; they are a form of duality. The Karmic Spaces are a way to understand your life, and this understanding becomes the root that supports all of your choices. The Karmic Spaces are spaces of awareness; they offer you an opportunity to learn how to censor yourself. This takes practice and creates the desire to be awake. The Karmic Spaces do not define the soul; they confine the self who wants to become one with the soul.

The thick boundaries of the Spaces are the dark lines that keep you in the place of duality. Each moment you have a choice: either to go deeper into the space, or to strive to overcome and free yourself from the space the binds you. Striving to overcome a space that you are stuck in is that which brings you out of duality and into the oneness. The borders of these Karmic Spaces have us crunched in to a construction with their own powerful forces, but love awakens us. To absorb this love is to have no boundaries and to know the vast nature of the soul. Absorbing this love will free you from being caught within the Karmic Spaces. Absorbing this love will enable you to feel Mother Earth beneath you and the beautiful sky of awareness above. Absorbing this love will enable you to live fully in the moment and be free.
