The concept of karma has been a staple in spiritual traditions
for thousands of years.
To make this concept as simple as I possibly can,
it's the idea that your actions in a previous life,
as well as in this life,
actually determine the fate
that you have in this life or future incarnations.
Some of you know that I did a video
a lot of years ago
and what I titled that video is:
Karma Doesn't Exist
The reason that I did this is because...
Literally, there are so many misconceptions with karma,
that it's a lot easier to just throw the entire concept out the window,
than to have people continue to fixate on the idea of karma.
I mean that's literally how dysfunctional
our concept of karma has become.
But, I think that a lot of people who are watching these videos
are actually more ready for a more graduated understanding.
So I'm going to unpack
the concept of Karma for you today.
Does Karma Exist or Doesn’t It?
Is karma a reality of the universe?
The answer is yes and also no.
Karma is a concept that was created by Eastern religions,
that evolved out of a social construct
where a caste system existed.
In a caste system,
society is divided into strata of hierarchy.
If you were born to a certain class
you belong to that group,
and therefore, your life was already decided for you
and was literally inescapable.
We had to come up with a great explanation
about why somebody would deserve
to be a king with all of his needs met,
or a person, who would suffer to feed his family,
suffer himself and watch his children, in most cases, die.
And the answer is this;
In a previous life you did some really bad things,
so have fun suffering now.
This is a ridiculous warping of spiritual truth.
Ridiculous!
Like if this is the way you see karma,
throw it out the window.
It's also to project human social practices
onto the universe at large.
That would be pretty embarrassing if an ant did that right?
That's what it's like, when human does that.
It's to project the way
or the system of government I should say,
that human beings use,
which is punishment and reward, on to the greater universe.
~ Chuckles ~
Do past lives determine future incarnations?
The answer is yes,
but yet again, we have two separate
misconceptions from spiritual truth.
The first thing to understand, is that a conversation
about our past lives,
only makes sense from certain and lower dimensional realities
in our universe.
Why?
Because the ultimate truth of our universe is all as one.
It's all the same energy, imbued with consciousness.
Therefore every life that has ever been lived,
was your life.
We create individuality
by focusing on it specifically.
The best way to conceptualize of this
is to think about source consciousness;
This is the collection of all the energy
that is in this universe and every universe, right?
If you saw that as one infinite ocean,
meaning it doesn't have a beginning or end
and it's all water, right?
If you conceptualize of it like that,
then trying to focus on
an individual within that construct,
is a little bit like,
differentiating a specific current within the ocean.
The current is the ocean,
but we can say that the east Australian current
is separate from the ocean in general.
But it's something we are creating.
It's something we are defining.
You can define a current within the ocean of consciousness
that you identify with specifically, that is your soul family
and a current within that current that is what you call
your non-physical self and then,
looking at it this way, your physical incarnation
is rather like a current, within the current,
within the current, within the ocean.
Much like a fractal.
Also, you've gotta get that you actually create
the perception of past and future.
Because really energy in the universe,
is existing in a state of potential.
It's in a kind of quantum state.
That would make it a soup,
where there's no actual line between past and future,
and everything's kind of coexisting at once.
But the reason why you create the perception of past and future,
or past lives and future lives,
is because you can track progression that way.
You can't actually perceive expansion,
unless you can perceive timeline.
If we call this totality of energy in the universe source,
source does not govern in the way that you think it does.
Why? Because source itself doesn't recognize you
as different to it.
It recognizes you as a part of itself.
The best way to imagine this is that source sees itself,
like the overall mosaic.
And it sees you as a part of that mosaic,
but if you are a fragment of it
and it has free-will,
than you have freewill.
And it also is not going to dull out punishment and rewards for itself.
But it's this quality of being
imbued with freewill
(regardless of whether you're conscious of it or not yet)
that makes it so there's such an important element here
of freewill.
Specifically when it comes to incarnation.
So let's just look at this;
The reason that somebody who murders in one life,
may come back in the next life as someone who is murdered...
Why is this?
First, the universe is in the process of expansion.
Expansion happens by knowing all it can know about itself.
You are likely therefore, being a part of source,
to try to understand and know everything you can know
about every perspective in the universe.
If you gained a lot of expansion out of a particular perspective,
you may come back in another life and repeat the same kind of experience
many times, until you have extracted
as much expansion as you choose to,
out of that type of incarnation.
Conversely, you may realize your perspective is limited
and you cannot expand without understanding the other side
of the polarized perspective.
For example, the polarized perspective from a lion
would be a gazelle.
Therefore there is a great deal of freewill involved
in the choosing of your next life,
However, and this is a more uncomfortable
aspect of this topic,
the law of mirroring is perfectly in action.
And that means in all dimensions of this universe,
including those you go to once you die.
This law of Mirroring,
what you call the law of attraction was born within source consciousness
the second that source
wanted to become aware.
Now if what we know about this universe,
is that all there is, is source.
There's nothing outside source.
Source is literally the word we're using
(it doesn't work to even use a word)
that describes everything in every universe end of story.
Then there is only ever one type of awareness to have
and that's self awareness.
Now if you wanted to be self aware,
what is the very best construct you could create?
The concept of a mirror.
So when source mind itself
created the concept of a mirror,
as the method through which it would understand itself,
that meant that the governing law of the universe itself
is the law of attraction.
The law of mirroring.
This simply means you will experience
the exact reflection of what you are.
Just like you step in front of a mirror,
somehow that reflection of you is
magnetically drawn to you.
Right?
~ Giggles ~
This is also actually what gives rise
to this other law in the universe that you've recognized,
which we call cause and effect.
So, like frequencies in this universe
are drawn to one another so they can clearly see each other.
The same as when you step in front of a mirror,
as if magnetically that reflection is drawn straight to you,
the closer you step to that mirror, right?
Whether you have the capacity
to recognize that as your reflection or not.
And we all know there are some people that step in front of a mirror
and go: What the hell? That's not me!
Every single life
that your current of consciousness
projects itself into
adds to the overall perspective
of that current of consciousness.
It changes the personal frequency
of that specific current of consciousness
that most of you call your soul.
Now think about it;
if the law of attraction or the law of mirroring
applies to all the dimensions of this universe,
what does that mean about your soul?
Or the aspect of yourself that is your current of consciousness,
that continues to incarnate over and over and over again?
It is also subject to the law of mirroring.
Now, if in every single life
the information and the expansion
and the awarenesses gathered through that life
are changing the overall frequency
of that current of consciousness that you call your soul,
what it means is that every single life that you live,
changes the overall frequency
of that current of consciousness and thus in this universe,
changes the lives that you are a match to.
These can be considered
evolutionary potentials
in the same way
that we could look at individual person's life path potentials.
Part of what contributes to the overall frequency
of your current of consciousness is freewill,
personal desire and intention.
So what you call the soul and what I call your current consciousness
is a match to future lives,
for both conscious and unconscious reasons.
Now here's the interesting part;
The more conscious that you become,
the more you are actually
in alignment with free will
and the more free will, actually dictates your incarnations.
This means that there is truth to the idea
that you will unconsciously incarnate,
until you are perfectly in alignment with free will,
and believe me when I say: "Perfectly in alignment with free will"
you have no idea what that means yet.
Until you are perfectly in alignment with your free will
and begin to choose your incarnations
or have the option not to choose incarnation
based entirely off of conscious freewill.
This means that the most likely scenario
is that part of what dictated whether a person was born poor versus rich
or was born into an abusive family versus a loving one, is free will.
The desire from that current of consciousness
to become more aware in alignment
with Source's overall desire to be self aware.
And part of it was the fact
that the specific life was a vibrational match to the overall frequency
of that current of consciousness.
I know that it would be much more comforting to you
if the truth about your current of consciousness
that you call your soul, was different than this.
Why? Because we all would love to think that we have complete free will,
but unfortunately what we're gonna have to accept is that
Source itself is not fully aware.
Otherwise, there would be no point on earth.
Source has a subconscious.
So, if source has a subconscious
this also means that your current of consciousness
that you call your soul, or soul family,
also has an unconscious.
~ Chuckles ~
It's trying to resolve that unconscious,
but it works the same as it does for your physical life.
In your physical life you know how much of what you're unconscious of
is dictating what you're a vibrational match to.
So much of what your current of consciousness
that you call your soul is unaware of,
is dictating what lives you incarnate into.
Which is why awareness is the most important thing
as far as I'm concerned, to hitch your ride to.
People also have to accept
that karma does not imply
some kind of justice system
that exists within the greater universe.
The reason why you're looking at this world
full of so many people who are bad people
and not realizing why, it doesn't seem like they ever get a reflection
or they ever get what's coming to them,
is because you don't see the actual reflection that they're getting.
Or the actual vibration that they're in.
Instead you're looking at them through the lens
of punishment and reward that you specifically
have been socialized into.
The thing I want you to get is that what is happening in your life
has absolutely nothing to do with whether you deserve it or not.
As sucky as that may be to accept.
Why?
Because mirrors are impartial.
They're not sitting there judging whether what
you are is wrong or good.
They're just literally showing you how it is.
When it comes to karma in our current life,
so we're not talking about past lives here,
when it comes to our current life, when people "talk karma"
there are two things primarily that they're observing.
The first is this principle law
that is governing your time-space reality,
that is called the law of attraction
(I prefer the law of mirroring).
And the second is the law of cause and effect,
which is actually a byproduct of this first law of mirroring.
To witness karma is simply to witness that in this universe
there is cause and there's effect.
And it is to recognized that we will be a match to a reflection
of whatever we are.
For example, if we hold a pattern of creating transactional relationships,
we will be a match to people who also hold this pattern
and who are transactional with us.
Or if we push people away, we end up alone.
If you are unaware or confused about what is being mirrored
back to you,
what's reflecting in your external universe,
it's because you're unconscious of it.
And believe me,
we are unconscious of so much.
So much!
If you're unconscious of it when you step in front of a mirror,
you're not immediately gonna recognize it as part of yourself.
Are you?
Another thing I want you to understand is that
your future life path potentials are always in flux.
This means,
life potentials are shifting and shifting and shifting
and shifting and shifting based on the change you make.
Any changes in thoughts, words, behaviors...
So feeling like Karma is some sort of death sentence,
like these original cultures would have you believe,
that based on something you did, It didn't really matter if you're gonna
become conscious of it or not, you are gonna suffer the consequences.
It's total and complete BS,
you do not have to be afraid of your future based off of anything
you have done in a previous life.
All you got to focus on, is becoming conscious.
Thus owning your free will.
A lot of what you're a match to, you're a match to
because of what you are completely unconscious of.
Some, you're a match to because of what you're consciously focusing on.
But here's the thing;
If you change a pattern,
you change everything you're a match to.
It just so happens, the majority of people
don't really change that much.
If you want to understand more about this,
I want you to watch my video titled:
THE FUTURE
And first and foremost,
and especially when it comes to this conversation about karma,
I want you to remember that each moment of your life
is in fact a new incarnation.
Have a good week.
