so…according to Wikipedia.org karma is defined as:
The philosophical explanation of karma can differ slightly between traditions, but the general concept is basically the same. Through the law of karma, the effects of all deeds actively create past, present, and future experiences, thus making one responsible for one’s own life, and the pain and joy it brings to him/her and others. The results or ‘fruits’ of actions are called karma-phala. In religions that incorporate reincarnation, karma extends through one’s present life and all past and future lives as well.
That being said…
I had been quizzed earlier about Karma and the effect of it…and why I was such a firm believer in it.
For me…karma is tied to faith. I cannot breathe without my faith. It’s at the core of who I am.
If I have faith, and if I am faithful, I walk a better line. I am more courteous, more thoughtful of my words and I am a kinder person. For me, this is rewarded and I am blessed daily. This would be good karma.
(Example: When I am scared about my financial situations, which is frequent, and if you read here, you know it…I pray, for guidance, for clarity and for peace. And I always, ALWAYS find a way out of my situation. EVERY TIME. I know that He is showing me clarity in the situation, not writing me a personal check, but I find ways to make everything work! EVERYTIME, as long as I keep floating on my faith!….KARMA)
If I question my faith, or doubt it, I try to wrench control away. I try to control people, their actions, their thoughts and I am a heinous person to be around. For me, this is rewarded and I am repeatedly thumped on the noggin’ from my higher power until I GET IT!!! I prefer to think of my bad karma as a day of really bad PMS…but I digress.
I own my mistakes, I apologize for them, I pray for forgiveness. And I get still and I listen. I find my center and get a grip…balance restored.
But until I am ready to own it, be sorry for it or even begin a prayer…I am cause wreak some havoc…waith for that thump and hang on for the ride. And when the Lord above thumps, you know it…TRUST ME!!!
(Example: my home was burgled once, I accused someone that I STRONGLY believed did it and the next day, a my tree fell on my neighbor’s roof, no shit!!!….KARMA)
You can find a karmic moment in your life EVERYDAY…it’s in every decision you make. Just be ready to get the positive or negative reaction to your action…that is Karma…Defined.
Too bad some don’t get that message….perhaps, He needs to thump harder…
