Karma, instant and otherwise
We invent words to be able to talk about things. Karma is a word which is from the Sanskrit. It has been in use for a very long time. People use it to explain things which manifest in their lives. Many people who use it don't understand what it means.
Karma is not about punishment. Jesus knew all about it and gave the best explanation of how it manifests when He said, "As you sow you shall reap.". Every thought you think; every word you speak; every action you take, results in an energy flow which radiates from you into the Universe. Within the Etheric band of frequencies it is stored, or recorded, if you will. The way that it manifests will be reflected back to its source - you. Within the Physical world it impinges on everything. In other people it might find resonance. When it does, they are affected by it.
Depending on the nature of your thoughts, words, or acts, and the effect they have on others, they can be classed as being good or bad. Any of these energy events which do not produce good results for all concerned are "bad"; that is, they indicate an area about which you need to think differently. The Lords of Karma are constantly aware of all of this energy and will return it to you as situations in which you find yourself. If you were courteous, you will experience courtesy. If you were giving you will experience abundance. Karmic energy is always returned in a way which is designed to give you an opportunity to learn from your thoughts, words, and actions. Once this Karmic energy is returned it is considered balanced. If your words were hurtfull you will get an opportunity to experience hurtful words from others. If your actions caused pain or loss to another you will experience pain or loss. The object is to get you to change your thought process. To think about things in a different way. If you don't change your thought process, a new opportunity will be presented; this time a little more strongly. You really need to "get it".
The purpose of Karma is to teach you how to live successfully in your Earth experiences. Often the opportunity to balance actions you took in one incarnation does not present itself in that incarnation. Prior to your next incarnation you will arrange the events which will result in balancing out some particular aspect of Karmic debt. You may arrange to be killed by a drunk driver just when the events in your life are coming to fruition. In order to help two other Souls balance their Karma, you may volunteer to incarnate as their child and walk in front of a bus when you are 4 years old. The Laws of Karma have been there to teach us how to get along with each other for as long as there have been humans on Earth. It doesn't require a very long look at humanity today to realize that there are many of us who haven't been totally successful.
As long as we had the time for many future incarnations there was a chance for the spiritual success for all of humanity. As we near the end of this cycle that chance diminishes. We are now at a point in the cycle where there isn't time for another incarnation. It is for this reason that the Lords of Karma are releasing learning opportunities into peoples lives very soon after the initiating act is performed. Instant Karma. This failure of humanity to live in harmony before the end of the cycle was foreseen over 12000 years ago. At that time it was decided that in order to give as many human Souls as possible the opportunity to succeed, more stringent lessons would be needed. Hence the Tribulation.
We have all heard of the Seven Deadly Sins. All of them begin as thoughts. Some of them never get acted out. So, are they still 'deadly'? You bet. They are 'deadly' to the one who chooses to have them. Spiritual progress can be measured by the content of one's thoughts. It is, after all, the thoughts which precede words and actions. When one's thoughts are harmless, his words will not wound, nor will his actions cause pain or loss.
There is still time to live harmlessly. There is still time for each of us to balance out our Karmic debt. Against whom do you hold a grudge? Forgive him. Tell him so. Allow him to accept your forgiveness or to tell you to go to hell. Let him do what he is going to do while you do what is in your own best interest. Do it for you. Have you wounded anyone in the past? Apologize and ask for forgiveness. The gain to you is in the asking. Whether he forgives you or not, is on him. Have you ever cheated, stolen, or otherwise aquired anothers property unjustly? Admit it to him and ask to be forgiven and to be allowed to make restitution. Do it for you. Do it soon.
