There are eight types of karma we encounter in our lifetime. The first is attitudinal karma. All karmic events
are processed through the attitudes we carry. Our attitudes determine the
outcome of our experiences and our lives. The second is event karma. Certain events happen in the course of our lives that
create change. Marriages, birth of children, divorce, death of loved one,
change in job and other earthly events that help to shape our lives. The third
is time gates. We have all had
experiences or known someone whose life has suddenly taken a drastic change.
Like the starving young actor who suddenly gets a break and his whole life
changes. It is said this person has passed through a time gate. Time gates are
everywhere and due to our attitudes we can often walk right by an opportunity.
The fourth is reciprocity. We reap
what we sow and so what we give out into the world comes back to us. The fifth
is generating. We are constantly
generating karma by our actions. It will either manifest in this lifetime or
the next. The sixth is supportive
karma. This is the action we perform that supports karmic change. An example
would be counseling or taking this soul
walk. The seventh is counteractive
karma or doing things that are counter to the karma we are trying to work out.
This is when we know we should be acting in one way, but act in another and
thus create self-sabotaging actions. The eighth is destructive karma. This of course is action that we take that
deepens our karma or adds destructive consequences to our lives. A life of
crime or drug addiction would be destructive examples.
To work though or overcome karma we
need to be able to stay balanced in the face of adversity, stay flexible enough
to weather change and strong enough to be grounded compassion over righteousness.
Karma teaches us that the best way
to learn a lesson and implement change is through
awareness, meditation, contemplation, reflection, and vicarious learning.
By observing and consciously becoming aware of the karma we are attempting to change, we can and will
learn the lesson. Karma tells us that if the lesson has been truly learned
(change has been made) a space opens and we then have a greater opportunity to
manifest free will. We become the masters of our own destiny and this leads to
prosperity.
