INDIFFERENCE I

In the Karmic Space of Indifference you forget you are a human being with a God-space called heart. One of the things that keeps you out of indifference is awe. Indifference happens when we stop being in awe of our lives; it is when we stop caring about the lives of others. It is amazing what we ignore, thus bringing us into indifference. Many people try to minimize their lives by being indifferent, even though they may not be aware of it in the moment. When the rhythm of caring becomes something of the past, the ego brings indifference to the forefront of one’s life.

 

Grief that grieves alone can bring one into the Karmic Space of Indifference. Death does not come out of nowhere to take the young and allow so many to suffer. It is indifference. If there is one second in someone’s life that you can make easier, then by all means do it. Serve from your very own soul, and your soul will speak from having the privilege to live in flesh upon Mother Earth.

 

Indifference is born from the pain of being afraid of rejection. Think about how much you wonder what others will think or say about you in the decisions you make. This is a big reason why so many step into the Karmic Space of indifference. To escape others’ thoughts and your reactions to the thoughts of others, you close your heart’s mind and enter without thought into indifference. Once you find yourself indifferent to one aspect of life, you will find yourself indifferent to many aspects of both life and death. A false courage comes upon you; instead of humility you put up a false front.

 

To live in slumber is to live in the Space of Indifference. Indifference brings one to the perpetual state of stress. Despair brings one into the Karmic Space of indifference. Once one enters into indifference it is hard to get past it. The lower charkas become weak, and no chakra needs to be weak. It is pride that sucks you into the Karmic Space of Indifference.

 

You do not want to step into indifference when you can feel the sweet memories of love in the moment, bringing light to any overcast thought. Many have lost the strength of awe – the strength of the mystery of life. This day try not to squander awe. Let awe open tons of entrances into love and out of the Space of Indifference. Be in awe. The darkness of indifference will soon grow into the light of gratitude.
