******************CREATING BALANCE*******************

 

~~~UNDERSTANDING KARMA

AS ENERGETIC BALANCING~~~

 

To understand incarnation is to open our consciousness to our

multi-dimensionality and to the entirety of experience that is the lifetime

of the Soul. Limiting awareness to, or minimizing the experience of the

Soul by the focus upon only one lifetime obscures the entire objective of

incarnation, which is to shift the densest of fear and its dualities into

the greatest of Unconditional Love and its Unity.

 

In this illusion, we tumble into total forgetfulness typified by the

mindsets of the first, second and third dimensions whose limited/limiting

totality is an earth-based focus of attention. This narrowed perception is

akin to a young child in the early stages of maturation.

 

The child is ego-centered. It knows only its own wants, needs, desires and

does have the inner apparatus to encompass a larger self-image - nor to

begin to dialogue meaningfully and cooperatively at a conscious level with

the universe around it or the relationships in which it finds itself. The

need for nurturance, security, safety, warmth, and touch are the totality

of its concerns, whether met or unmet.

 

Only as each of us begins to negotiate the fourth dimension of our

consciousness do we begin to leave the belief systems and emotional

immaturities that hold our perceptions and expectations close to the earth

plane. To evolve into and live from the perceptions and mandates of the

Heart Center requires us to transcend and transform those issues that keep

our minds entirely earth-bound.

 

Allowing ourselves to advance our lives into the ease and flow of the

universe, we avail ourselves of the "bigger picture" of creation, its

meaning and call to us that explain the ways and whys of incarnation.

 

If we change our basic assumption from one incarnated lifetime as a life

and shift to an understanding of the life of our Souls as the totality of

incarnation - but not the totality of consciousness, which is Godness - we

likewise shift the possible parameters for this discussion of what life is.

 

Seen from Spirit, which creates many millions of Souls - which in turn

create many thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands or millions of

incarnate personalities - there is an ongoing perfecting of energies. In

this fascination with fear-based interactions between beings who believe

incarnation and form, time, space and distance are real, enacting dramas

and forever changing their directions and internal energetic structures

through those interactions, love blooms, maturates, transforms.

 

In the life of a Soul, there is that "magic moment" of maturity when an

incarnated consciousness has transformed adequate fear into love. In that

moment - in that given lifetime - the great AHA comes up into everyday

awareness and opens a floodgate to other possibilities as love.

 

The unconscious quest through interaction prior to that moment (and

sometimes momentary) awakening to a higher possibility and "bigger picture"

then is able to become a conscious exploration of the self as that

self/Self/SELF at the *responsible* and *self-actuating*

CREATIVE/CO-CREATIVE center of its own universe.

 

Once the belief that life simply happens to us is transcended by the

realization that we are creating everything and ourselves in our lives for

a specific purpose - that is - to become love - we make another universal

detour into acceptance of higher spiritual law and the essence of cause and

effect.

 

The finger of judgment stops pointing outward. Instead, we wrap our arms

around ourselves in a loving gesture of understanding and make a committed

effort to change all that has ever come before and here and now.

 

All relationships and relatedness are based in charges of energy forming

cords of attachment between entities. These cords represent the real

exchanges of energies that are interaction, communication and regard

(thoughts and images of each individual or object or thing), which we hold

within our energy systems, therefore our personalities.

 

We can look at the past as our personal history. We were/are there,

creating and co-creating those exchanges which we judge as barbaric,

primitive, ignorant, violent and uninformed. Those are the bits of us

floating in our unconsciousness that now need to become a part of our

conscious lives, causing us to still create from that piece, that mindset

of simultaneous lives.

 

Karma is also the whole of our life lessons. In negative karma, we act out

in spiritually childish ways, defending ourselves energetically with

onslaughts of dominance in an attempt to capture and hold the energies of

another who are our victims. Sometimes we win. Many times, in

simultaneous lives, we were overwhelmed.

 

The portrayal of winner/loser, dominator/victim as the reality of life has

led us down a merry journey into the depths of all that is the most heinous

behavior between two entities and perpetrations of the greatest crimes one

group has visited upon another. The 20th century, for all of its

technological advances, was the most barbaric and suicidal for this

collective, nearly bringing ourselves to the brink of annihilation with a

vengeance and rationality unknown prior anywhere in the universe.

 

Reeling from world wars, massive genocide on every continent, planetwide

economic depression, the routing of families in the great emigrations and

resettlings, we have come forth into this time, wracked by the paranoia,

ignorance and material greed of our forebears. The emotional violence and

deep denial of the last half of the 20th century and the beginning of this

one is the backdrop against which we are meant to each be that phoenix

rising into new beginnings, new possibilities.

 

This is a time for sorting through the debris of the past - of our

simultaneous lives, our soulful history, our personal history - to see

ourselves as those creators of grandeur and terror, lifetime to lifetime.

Karma is not a steady state. It is a state of mind and heart.

 

Those of us who have used the tools for self-transformation know it is

entirely possible to rescript and forgive ourselves - and to hold gratitude

to others - for the past/present. It is all but a thought held to our

beings by these cords of attachment - these memories that haunt and taunt

us - and through which we have also learned love.

 

Healing karma is as simple as finding compassion for the spiritual

immaturity of others, forgiveness for ourselves - and gratitude to those

younger Souls for acting out with us in this illusion that is incarnation.

 

We are meant to wean ourselves off the cycles of pleasure/pain and the

expectation that pain must necessarily follow pleasure - that bad actions

must follow upon good, that punishment will assuredly follow the moments of

pleasure, or that happiness and joy must necessarily cycle back into sorrow

and suffering.

 

These are all choices that we make. There is both positive and negative

karma. We each must choose to either walk our Paths of

Love/Joy/Heart/Soul/Spirit and remain in our joy - thereby affording

ourselves every opportunity to transform negative Karma into positive - or

- we consign ourselves to ever-increasingly painful experiences of our

fear/unhealed states that we bring into this lifetime out of all our other

lifetimes.

 

That understanding we bring into the present as we delve into inner space

during our meditations and other spiritual practices can free us forever

from the throes of negative karma. Every relationship and relatedness can

be healed here and now from anywhere in our experience of incarnation as we

prepare ourselves to go forth into lifetimes filled with such positive

promise and such plenty.

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION:

 

Where and why are you still feeling friction in your relationships? Is

this something you are willing to deal with at this time? Since it is in

your face frequently and causing deep pain, are you now willing to change

within YOU what needs to be changed to deflect these thoughts forever? Do

you believe you are good enough, worthy enough to give this to yourself

here and now?

 

FOR YOUR JOURNALS:

 

Write down those historical figures and their eras that have greatest

meaning for you. Now consider the emotional charges you feel about these

people and events. Do these people feel familiar to you? Can you identify

someone in your present life whose energy and mindset reminds you of

someone in your simultaneous lives? What is your experience of this

person? What lesson do you think you are learning? Can you put the pieces

of the puzzle together now?

 

FOR YOUR MEDITATIONS:

 

Go into deep meditation, and, with a mental focus on the heartspace, ask to

be shown the "bigger picture" of this universe and its ultimate unfoldment.

Put aside all preconceived notions. Simply allow your mind to receive the

symbols and images of the fourth and higher dimensions and their

unfoldment.
