Conversations about the Workings of Karma - (2260)

Introduction

Here are some notes of a conversation I had with my marvelous missionary the other day, sitting out the front of the house waiting for students to arrive to begin the class.

There with a slight breeze blowing, a few magpies and a willy wag tail swooping down to pick up a morsel or two of mainly small pieces of bread left out for them, with the sun slowly saluting the end of a day painting the sky soft orange-blue.

There, the mood is now set. Now for the conversation.

Point 1:

As people are asleep and don't know much about the way the Law applies karma, what happens to them seems so apparently unjust.

If they knew that a superior law washes away an inferior law, and they asked for this principle to be applied in their case, well, it would be applied in their case. If only they knew!

If we know them we can ask that this principle be applied for them. We can be their advocate.

Because they do not know and do not ask for this principle to be applied, the Law just applies the Law in such a way that it appears unfair. 

Gnostics have to appeal to this principle. Why is it that so many Gnostics find Gnosis and they have intense yearnings yet little or limited possibility of fulfilling those yearnings? It seems so tough of the law to do that. They must ask for this law to be applied to them in their case.

Point 2:

With our dharma or merits we buy and pay for things.

If we have enough merits we can move past a karmic impediment. If we do not have enough merits we may be given a loan or a credit, but on the condition that we can pay for it, that is pay it back.

If we are deemed not able to pay this credit back we are then in trouble. We must suffer and pay with pain. There is no other way.

When the Law applies karma it looks to the essence and the Monad, not to the person, nor the man nor the lady. They decide what is best for the essence, which may not be the best for the man or lady.

Sometimes when we can not pay they decide to retract our physical body from life, so that we can have a new body with new circumstances where we will be fitter and more able to pay. That seems so tough and cruel to us humans living here in this world but it is the love and compassion of the Law working in favour of the Monad and the essence of the person.

Conclusion

Merits once again is what we need! Once again we acquire merits by working on ourselves. The harder we work the more merits we earn!

End (2260).
