Our Karma – Karma Part 3

Posted on November 8, 2018November 17, 2018 by Metroman

How to deal with our karma "How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours." ~ Wayne Dyer Please click on the following if you have not read "part 1" or "part 2" of this series. The title of this last post is fitting because we need only concern ourselves with "our own karma." It is a natural tendency for people to fixate on the flaws of other people, (which ironically creates more bad karma,) we rarely turn inward to reflect on our own flaws. This is what our karma is meant to teach us. In his book "Letting Go" Dr. David R. Hawking answers the following regarding karma: Question: What if a negative feeling toward someone or a situation persists, despite my intention and effort to let it go? Answer: Sometimes one is more or less forced to surrender to a situation and presume that it’s karmic. With...

Karma part 2 – What Creates Karma ?

Posted on November 1, 2018November 17, 2018 by Metroman

What Creates Karma ? Before we can answer what creates karma we need to first define the types of karma. There are basically three different types of karma: Good karma Bad or negative karma Repeating experiential karma Note these definitions of "good" or "bad" are accepted "labels" and are not personal judgments. It may be better to define "good" as those actions which lead to less suffering and more happiness, unity and greater spiritual awareness. "Bad" can be defined as that which leads to less happiness and more isolation, pain and suffering. We must remember "bad" action ultimately leads to understanding through pain and suffering, so all karma, whether "good" or "bad" ultimately leads to greater awareness. This is karma's purpose, to teach and bring the soul to a greater awareness and understandin...

Karma Part 1 – What Is Karma ?

Posted on October 25, 2018January 11, 2019 by Metroman

What is Karma ? Everyone is familiar with the term karma. The term is usually used when someone does something mean and then something bad happens to them. We then use a phrase such as “Karma’s a bitch.” Karma however goes much deeper than the misfortune of a not so nice person. It is about one’s actions in life creating a sort of imbalance. Another way to think of karma is as a depository for all our thoughts, judgments, likes, dislikes, intentions and actions in each life. Think of all of these going into a large storage locker (our Akashic record.) As we live each life we must clear out a little bit of that storage locker until all that is left are the items related to love, compassion, unity and peace. What is karma ? - definition from other sources Jesus stated it simply as "A man reaps what he sows." The Buddh...

Human Experience – Understanding The Soul – Part 6 of 6

Posted on April 26, 2018November 17, 2018 by Metroman

Understanding The Soul - Human Experience - Part 6 of 6 In this series we have talked about all aspects of the soul, its attributes, its purpose and its progression. Ok, so now let’s bring it back down to earth to discuss the human experience... Evolution in the physical phase of human experience is a long process. Souls who have mingled in the physical plane have experienced a great fall. They find themselves in bodies with minds more similar to animals rather than the spiritual beings which they are. Observing our closest relatives in the animal world we see many of those traits remain as part of the human experience. In the animal world we find territorial wars, male or female domination over a group, fighting for the right to mate, fighting for resources, etc.. The soul - Human experience - Animal instincts ...

Death – Understanding The Soul – Part 4 of 6

Posted on April 12, 2018October 10, 2018 by Metroman

Understanding the soul - Death and the experience of death. History has shown a belief of life after death in many civilizations and cultures. While the nature of those afterlife beliefs differs there is a similar theme to most. While we can't say with certainty what some ancient cultures believed, anthropologist use archaeological evidence of the rituals surrounding death as evidence. In many ancient cultures the dead were buried with personal artifacts indicating some belief in comforting them on the other side. There are text and pictures that have survived through time of ancient civilizations describing the afterlife as a sort of journey. In some cases religions have made death a fearful event based on being judged, after which you either go to heaven or hell. Who wouldn't be fearful in the prospect of spending ...

Understanding The Soul, Creator Laws – Part 3 of 6

Posted on April 5, 2018October 10, 2018 by Metroman

Understanding The Soul - Creator Laws Have you ever wished there was a rulebook, creator laws or instruction manual for life? Do you ever question what happens to us after physical death? Have you ever asked yourself why you have had certain experiences in your life? In the last post Understanding The Soul - Part 2 of 6 We talked about the creation of souls and the attributes that are given to them. The following is one of the best descriptions of the creator laws of being a creator god (the following is attributed to: (http://www.stankovuniversallaw.com/2015/04/functioning-as-creator-gods-and-the-universal-laws-of-creating-realities/ ) We do not know with certainty what the karmic laws of free will are but this theory and description of the cause and effect laws makes a lot of sense. Creator Laws One –...

Understanding The Soul – Part 2 of 6

Posted on March 29, 2018October 25, 2018 by Metroman

Understanding The Soul - The purpose of the soul Have you ever wondered where you came from? Have you ever wondered why you are here? Have you ever wondered what you are? Like all things in life, an awareness of something is the first step to understanding it. Throughout recorded history man has searched for the origins of his existence. What is the purpose of man's existence, what is the purpose of the soul? Contained within the remains of the oldest civilizations there seems to be some evidence we once knew the answer to this questions. Civilization is much older than what we are taught in school. With the recent discovery of Göbekli Tepe in Turkey dating to 9000 BC (i.e. 11,000 years ago,) we must question the historical view of civilization and what knowledge has been lost through time. There is ample ...

Understanding The Soul – Introduction

Posted on March 22, 2018October 10, 2018 by Metroman

Understanding the soul - introduction Certainly everyone has heard of the soul. If you were brought up with a traditional religious upbringing then you know of it as something that must be saved. The soul however is something that you are. During physical life we don't put much thought into understanding the soul but on the deepest level of our consciousness we can sense our soul. We even use terms like "soul searching" which in a very real sense is an accurate description of looking deep within ourselves. We talk of soul mates or knowing someone on a soul level. We use the term "old soul" to describe someone who is loving, compassionate and wise. Sometimes the love we have for someone comes from deep within our soul. Knowing the soul allows you to think about continuous growth, not just the growth that occurs in o...

Embracing Life By Embracing Death

Posted on January 25, 2018October 10, 2018 by Metroman

Death can teach us about life. chriswmetz.com

Have you ever lost something thinking the worst, only to find out it wasn't really lost because you had it all along? Since death is a part of life, if we embrace it fully what can we learn from it? What is the ultimate lesson death will teach us about how we lived our life? We live our life with little to no consciousness of our death. Because of this we miss a big part of what it means to live a physical life. Imagining the moment of our death we might come to realize a sense of peace we could not fathom during life. When physical life falls away and we leave the body, we leave behind all the drama, pain and fear associated with it. In this split moment the barrier to infinite peace and love is removed or drops away. First and foremost, we would realize we are still alive or the awareness of who we are continue...
