Karma and lessons come back to us whether we’re this side or the other side of life. Which side you’re on is immaterial.
Learning our lessons
It is more helpful if you learn your lessons this side of life by doing what’s right, what the universe expects. Karma is the luggage our soul carries from past lives to this one. Unfortunately, this luggage never gets lost, you’re stuck with it, until you sort through its contents and deal with it. Without us knowing, we will be experiencing karma that originated several lifetimes ago.
Understanding Karma
On our part it is important to understand karma, by starting with acknowledging the role of each person in our life asking questions like, ‘what have they come to teach us and what are we teaching them, why are they there and what is the karma you’re meant to experience with that person?’
Through karma, our actions become who we are. If we're not happy with that, we need to live this life truthfully and authentically. One of the most interesting facts about karma is that it can make us reincarnate in a manner that is the reverse to how we might expect.
Introspection and Evaluation
Through honest introspection and evaluation, we can recognise other people’s faults and weaknesses, recognise what we need to change. It is important we modify our behaviour; end karmic patterns; acknowledge the truth of karma, so that we can encourage emotional and mental growth. (Source: https://www.mindbodygreen.com)
The information in this blog has filled a space that needed to be filled for me, since I identify exclusively with Karma as a way to live.
The fact that Karma will happen sooner or later shows me that something magnificent is involved in my life.
Thanks Tim. Sounds intriguing. Yes, I also identify exclusively with Karma and hope many more will. The more we follow karma and live by the Buddha teachings, the more we will change aspects of our lives and relationships.
You only have to look at what's happening in the world to understand how Karma works. It's clear we're not getting it right.
An interesting and thought provoking post. I have always believed that while we are free to choose, we are not free from the consequence of our choices.
Your post explains there is much more to karma than I thought.
Thank you. Yes, that's absolutely right. If more of us understood and took time to think about karma and how that works in life, we would all do more to think about our actions.
I go back to this, but you only have to look at what's happening in politics, in the world, around Covid_19 and Brexit to understand how karma works.
When you inflict suffering on others for your own personal gain, you and those you inflict pain on, things will not end well.
I am lucky that I have a platform to be able to talk about the things that matter; not just to me, but for others too.
I'm pleased you find today's karma blog helpful.
