Life is like a game of spades. Everyone is dealt a different set of cards, some cards require more strategy to win and some people may know how to play the game better than you but do understand that anyone. can. win.
Everything is energy.
I read this article and it got me thinking. Here are two quotes that I really liked.
“We are often easily distracted and miss messages which makes us believe we have a lot of ‘bad’ karma. But those situations are simply signs for us to course-correct and move forward toward our higher purpose,” Rhodes explains.
“The journey is not about being perfect, it’s about undoing what is not us and becoming who we really are,” she adds.
What Are the 12 Laws of Karma? – Healthline
Bad things don’t happen to bad people, bad things happen to everyone and the efficiency with which you push past the bad will shape the illusion of how frequently you receive the good.
Karma isn’t a separate entity from us that creates some hierarchy of justice based on a heightened sense of morality. no. karma responds to our thoughts. I’d go so far as to say that karma is our thoughts. A flat tire is on is only bad karma for the hit and run you did yesterday if that is what you believe it to be, it can also be a blessing and stopped you from getting into what would’ve been a fatal accident that day on the highway. I challenge you to shift your perspective.
You see, that is what distinguishes people you feel are always winning from those you feel can’t catch a break. I completely understand that some people are just in a shitty circumstance, but I also understand that “. . . you must be humble enough to accept that your current reality is the result of your past actions. . .” (Law 3: Humility)
In the physical world in which we live, there are assigned consequences to our actions and a framework for the morals we collectively choose to subscribe to. If you rob someone, you’re supposed to go to prison.
Stealing is bad. Religions and governments agree on this. Most people will think if you steal and you don’t get caught then the big bad karmic boogie man will get you. Yet the most prevalent and wealthy governments have stolen land and resources, and the most popular religions have stolen the minds and identities of countless indigenous peoples. Where is there karma? Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Donald Trump etc. where is their karma? Your high school bully who now seems to have a perfect life. Where is their karma?
I know what one might say, “oh its coming” or “oh look at Andrew Tate or Kanye West” and I’d say what is the difference between Andrew Tate being arrested for his crimes and the false imprisonment of countless black men? Prison is a prison and what someone may say is karma is just an occurrence based on a series of actions and opinions from dozens or even thousands of bias people.
In the world of energy, there is no morality, you are propelled in the direction of your thoughts. At the mercy of an extreme example, I’d bring up the serial killing sociopathic.
A sociopath cannot experience karma. Punishments exist, but karmic energy can only impact those who think moral thoughts and so negative karmic energy can only be experienced by the man who experiences negative thoughts.
Your ability to minimize negative thoughts is your ability to minimize negative karmic energy. Normally negative thoughts are directly proportional to our negative behavior; however what if you were able to behave negatively without experiencing negative thoughts?
Well, I’ll tell you what I think.
You won’t experience negative karma.
What do you think? Is the existence of karma simply our thoughts? Is the push and pull of the energy we experience simply a reflection of conscience? Do ‘bad’ people who do ‘bad’ things get rich because they are so hyper-focused on success and intimately sold on the “by any means necessary” concept that they are unable to be impacted by karma? Or do you think karma does exist separately from us and the moral playing field it operates on is dictated by a higher power? Or is karma God?
