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...

Unity Or Isolation?

Posted on October 11, 2018October 11, 2018 by Metroman

Getting to unity from isolation The opposite of isolation is unity. It is the bond and loss of boundaries between a mother and her newborn. It is the sense of love and closeness experienced with family during the holidays or a special occasion. It is the timelessness and sense of oneness experienced by two people in love. It is the state of mind experienced by all enlightened humans throughout history. We have all felt examples of this type of unity in our life but unfortunately it erodes away with a growing ego. Love and unity is a natural spiritual state that exist between all things until we start down the path of isolation (see previous post on"Isolation") Unity is a conscious choice If we choose to live a life of love and unity then we must allow our spiritual nature to guide our life. Choosing love and unity i...

Life Lessons From The Old

Posted on September 13, 2018November 8, 2018 by Metroman

What life lessons can older people teach us? The old and elderly are probably the most qualified authority on life lessons. They acquire this knowledge through the perspective of living a full life while looking back at its end. If you are familiar with my Abyss theory of life, you will see this is the clear perspective of having risen to new plateaus while being able to look back on life and the lessons learned at the lower levels. What most people don't realize is all these life lessons involve learning about ourselves, specifically they are lessons in choosing between the ego and spirit. In reviewing many "Top Ten List" of life lessons learned from the elderly I have compiled a list of common advice. The common thread to all this advice is personal truths about our own growth in life. If you examine each more cl...
