Sooner
or Later, You're Dancin' With the Reaper
We
are Karma Chameleons. While on Earth, you are living in
the worlds of reincarnation and karma. Believe it or not,
karma begins & ends with love. Karma begins to propel
you as Soul on a personal journey through the universe.
Karma ends when you have perfected yourself in your ability
to love.
So
What is Karma? As Soul you are eternal. You have past,
present, and future lives. To grow in love, joy, and awareness,
you reincarnate into a series of physical bodies to experience
different existences. You have been or will be both sexes
and all races, religions, and ethnic types throughout
many lifetimes
Karma
Defined: Karma means that "as you sow, so also
shall you reap" in this and other lifetimes until you
understand the complete consequences of all your actions.
Karma is the principle of cause and effect, action and
reaction, total cosmic justice and personal responsibility.

The
Rules of Karma Governing Life on Earth
#1:
KARMA TEACHES BY EXPERIENCE AND NOT TO PUNISH
Although
it may often "feel" like punishment, the purpose of karma
is to teach not to punish. Often the way we learn "the
best" is to endure the same type of suffering that we
have inflicted on others. For example, I remember little
of my life as a City Commander in ancient Constantinople
where I killed many without mercy, often with little justification.
Yet, I remember vividly the life where I repaid that karma
by being slaughtered by an Indian during the Martin's
Hundred massacre. Believe me, I learned the lesson of
mercy in the final terrifying moments of the massacre.
#2:
WE ARE ALL HERE TO LEARN LESSONS TAUGHT BY KARMA
We are all here to learn lessons as "spiritual beings
in human form". These lessons are designed to help us
grow into greater levels of love, joy, and awareness.
They teach us to "choose love at every moment", to "forgive
everyone, everything", and to "live happy". Where we do
not choose love, show forgiveness, teach tolerance, or
display compassion, karma intervenes to put us back on
the path of these lessons. Quite simply, the only way
to achieve a state of karmic balance is to be love.
#3:
WE "FORGET" ABOUT KARMA TO SEE IF WE HAVE LEARNED
Before
we came, we agreed to put ourself in the path of all that
is we needed to learn. Once we got here, we agreed to
"forget" this. The purpose of "forgetting" is to keep
us from being overwhelmed by the totality of our past
while making sure that we have really learned our lessons.
For example, having been a General in many lifetimes,
I tended to treat others in a domineering manner. In this
life, I put myself into my situations where humility would
have served me better than being "the dictatorial General".
Only when I overcame this "problem" and learned my lesson
did I understand why I had put myself into those karmic
places.
#4:
KARMA IS IMPERSONAL, LOGICAL, AND PREDICTABLE
Karma
gives you the opportunity at every moment to become open
to greater levels of love and compassion. It operates
impersonally: applying to everyone, all the time, no exceptions.
It is very logical: what you sow is what you reap in exact
and precise measure. Karma is as predictable as the laws
of gravity: what is done to you is the net result of what
you have done to others.
#5:
KARMA IS PERFECTLY FAIR AND CREATES TOTAL JUSTICE
For
example, there are no "innocent" people in prison, they
are there for a reason. If they appear "innocent" in this
life, it is because they were "guilty" in a past life
and "got away with it". The "innocent" feel "cheated"
now because they cannot see the cause of this life was
the effect of a past life when they were "guilty".
#6:
KARMA MAKES US LINK OUR ACTIONS WITH THEIR RESULTS
The
cause of this life is always the effect of a past life(s).
The goal of karma is to ensure that we link our actions
(the cause) with their results (the effect). "It is the
loving God which helps each Soul develop it's highest
spiritual potential through experience." It is our experience
which teaches us the Law of Love.
#7:
KARMA TEACHES US TOTALLY RESPONSIBILITY
The
goal of karma is to give you all the experiences that
you need to evolve into greater levels of love, joy, awareness,
and responsibility. Karma teaches that you are totally
responsible for the circumstances of your life. Karma
is like "training wheels". They keep you on the straight
and narrow until you have mastered your vehicle and can
ride freely on your own.
#8:
KARMA TEACHES US LOVE AND COMPASSION FOR ALL
"See
that you are at the center of the universe... Accept all
things as being part of you... When you perceive that
an act done to another is done to yourself... you understand
the great truth." Tolerance opens the door to compassion
and love.
#9:
KARMA DRIVES US TO WHOLENESS AND UNITY WITH LIFE
Karma
drives us from oneness to wholeness to unity with life.
Karma forces us to look beyond ourselves (oneness) so
that we can see ourselves as we truly are (wholeness or
Self Realization). Once we truly understand ourselves,
we can see our divinity (God Realization) and our unity
with all life.
#10:
KARMA DRIVES US TO SERVICE AND THEN TO LOVE
Karma
drives us to service. Service - co-workership with God
- is the ulitmate expression of love. Love means service:
service is your choice. Once you accept total responsibility
for your life, you see yourself as Soul in service to
life. Once you do, you become a fully realized co-worker
with God.
#11:
UNDERSTANDING KARMA IS THE KEY TO HARMONY
"Belief
in karma ought to make the life pure, strong, serene,
and glad. Only our own deeds can hinder us; only our own
will can fetter us. Once let us recognize this truth,
and our liberation has struck. Nature cannot enslave the
Soul that by wisdom has gained power and uses both in
love."
#12:
FOR ANY QUESTION, LOVE IS ALWAYS THE ANSWER
Karma shows us that for any question love is the answer.
"Love is our birthplace, our final refuge, and our reason
for being. If we recognize that compassion and love are
the ultimate destination of our journey, the heart of
the universe responds."
