Karma is not about punishment or reward. It is a
mental or emotional force that causes things to happen. Karma is a tool that
allows you to move from awareness of things (the world) to awareness of self. What am I here to learn about me and how
can I use the world to discover who I am and not let the world use me?
Karma is a
mechanism that presents you with different events and specific energies that
lead you to balanced self-awareness.
What you do with these events and this energy determines the outcome.
Karma also means a gravitational pull of extreme
importance that draws you to the center of your being. It means to have a
leaning towards a particular thing. This could be your occupation, your
attitude or your beliefs. It will also present you with blind spots or areas
where your view of things gets distorted.
Here we can get disillusioned and confuse reality for something
extraneous from us. We need to be
careful to not confuse the map for the territory; the objects for the meaning.
But mostly it is a strong desire towards one thing
or another. We are drawn to certain
things in an attempt to learn something about the me that sits beneath the
I or the ego. This is where we need
to pull back the ego and surrender it to something more powerful. It is far
more powerful to be patient when confronted with a frustration that to burst
into anger and thus lose your balance.
Suggestion: Write a paragraph that describes your life’s struggle.
What have you struggled with your whole life? For example, let’s say you have
struggled with loneliness, disappointment, anger, feeling unloved, poverty, self-image
(ex: over- weight), or any other struggle that you believe is a major part of
your life. This is the theme that keeps reoccurring in your life. Now make this
paragraph a sentence and then make the sentence a word. This is your karmic
word. Now exchange it with its opposite word; if you struggle with anger
replace it with kindness.
