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 1 – What Is Karma ?
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.

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
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...
