KARMA

 

What Is Karma?

 Karma is a Sanskrit word that means "action." Karma has commonly been considered a punishment for

past bad actions, but karma is neither judge nor jury. Rather, it is simply the universal law of cause

and effect that says every thought, word and act carries energy into the world and affects our

present reality. Karma can also refer to the "work" we have ahead of us, which includes

 lessons from both our past and

present lives.

Why Is Karma Important?
Part of our life's work is to understand our individual relationship to the cosmos ... to understand how

 the universe affects us.  Based on the principle that individual behavior mirrors universal patterns,

the tiniest act -- a thought, for example -- can have enormous impact. The energies our thoughts and

 actions produce can cover the entire planet, or even beyond, in the blink of an eye. An

examination of

karma offers clues about our intended life purpose, showing us the psychic imprint of

 past lives and mapping the way out of behaviors and thoughts that are no longer

 useful to us.

When Will I See the Benefits?

Unfortunately, not all good actions have immediate rewards. You might see the positive results of

 positive actions tomorrow, you might see them in your next lifetime or you might not see them at all.

You might be thinking, "If I'm not going to benefit, what's the point?" There is one. Every positive action

 you take has a positive effect, whether you see it or not. You just need to trust in the universe.

If Bad Things Happen to Me, Does It Mean I Have Bad Karma?

Not necessarily. Sometimes bad things happen, but they have positive effects later. Let's say you're

super ambitious, always on the go and wildly successful. Then you get into an accident and are

 hospitalized for several months. It may seem like you ended up in the hospital because you were

 being punished for past bad deeds. What if that accident taught you to value your life, and slow

down enough to actually enjoy it, instead of being so focused on the end goal? In that way, the

accident would actually be a blessing, rather than a curse. Likewise, winning the lottery may seem

 like a reward, but what if you forgot about the value of intangible things, and focused only on

 acquiring material things? In that case, something good brought with it negative energy.

Can You Change Karma?

Your soul is on a journey. Karmic situations in which you find yourself today are both your soul's

 mirror

and travel guide. Karma can show you where you've been and where you might go to learn the lessons you've chosen for this lifetime.

Through understanding your unique destiny, you can adjust your actions to either change an

ongoing situation, or gain new perspective on a past situation so you can avoid making the same

mistake twice. By understanding karma, you can unlock the patterns from past lives and show you how

 to use the laws of karma to consciously choose a better path for this life and the next.

All the forces in this universe are there to be seen and explored, use this knowledge wisely and you

can attain Nirvana here on earth for a time, you do not have to wait for some promised heaven when

 you can have affirmation of this state while here to share with all and make this planet a better place.

With the recent photographs of the Hubble telescopes explorations we now can see, first hand, the

Big Bang, the creation of Galaxies and Nebulae, the constantly forming and disbanding of the gasses

that made our planet so many eons ago. Creation in it's most primal shape, the earliest forms of what it

took to make us that little speck in the outer rims of the Milky Way. We are so miniscule in comparison to

the feats that are evolving out in deep space, we are formed, but we are wasting the resources that are

still unformed. Space junk is orbiting out there, polluting the yet to be made galaxies; perhaps, out there

 is the warning from other times, other long-ago destroyed civilizations who preceded in the fool-hearty

ways  our people are now conducting themselves?

Evolution is a constant. In the millenium to come are we to be another dying star,another light in

 the universe that, to some new planet with life, will someday see us as just so-many light years away.

 Long dead?

This recent upgrade of Hubble's abilities may tell us something about our past and our future. Use it

 wisely.
