3) The Law of Karma (or Cause and Effect)

October 12th, 2008

“Karma” is both action and the consequence of that action; it is cause and effect simultaneously, because every action generates a force of energy that returns to us in kind. There is nothing unfamiliar about the Law of Karma. Everyone had heard the expression, “What you sow is what you reap.” Obviously, if we want to create happiness in our lives, we must learn to sow the seeds of happiness. Therefore, karma implies the action of conscious choice-making. Whether you like it or not, everything that is happening at this moment is a result of the choices you’ve made in the past. Unfortunately, a lot of us make choices unconsciously, and therefore we don’t think they are choices–and yet, they are. If you step back for a moment and witness the choices you are making as you make those choices, then in just this act of witnessing, you take the whole process from the unconscious realm into the conscious realm. This procedure of conscious choice-making and witnessing is very empowering.You can use the Law of Karma to create money and affluence, and the flow of all good things to you, any time you want. But first, you must become consciously aware that your future is generated by the choices you are making in every moment of your life. If you do this on a regular basis, then you are making full use of this law. The more you bring your choices into the level of your conscious awareness, the more you will make those choices which are spontaneously correct–both for you and those around you.

    I have a feeling that conscious choice making is not enough in many instances. Another ingredient is needed here – awareness what is progressive and good when making choices.

    We can admit – everyone has a different measure for those depending on one’s level of development. But the invitation to strive to learn discrimination and skills for right action is a nice addition to living life in a wakeful state and overcoming inertia.

    Love you Deepak!

    Conscious choice making is enough, if really established in consciousness, as manifest thought can align perfectly align with Awareness-

    True ideas are already established, available and aligned perfectly with pure awareness(which is timeless) -which is not in cause and effect or time bound-

    Infinite invisible made visible-unfolding from perfection not towards perfection
