Karma Cause and Effect Notes - (3906)

Post Description

Some notes about the lecture topic of Karma.

Aussie Boomerang - is like karma, we throw it and it comes back.


Notes

⚓Karma - Sanskrit word meaning cause and effect. 


It is the magic force that ties causes to their effects.


The Law of Karma says that there are no coincidences. All has a cause.


If there is an effect by the law of karma there is a cause.


Create causes to set up effects. If we want a certain effect to happen we must provide the cause. This is immutable. It could be an effect in our inner life or outer life.


It is a cosmic Law. Permeates everything, including everything in our inner and outer life.

It is eternal and formidable. Nothing is exempt from it Nirvana, karma and space are eternal, the Buddha said. 


It is also known as the Law of Balance or Equilibrium. the balance of the Cosmic, the human, the world, the physical, the psychological etc. 


Balance is one of the most important laws in the universe. Without karma or balance the Universe would fall into disarray.


It has been charged with the defined function of keeping all things in balance.


Karma forms a chain of cause and effect. There is a cause which produces an effect and that effect becomes the cause of a new effect and so on and so on.


Karmic debts. They exist and we create them by upsetting the balance. 


The normal human being has so many karmic debts. Totally rare is it for anyone to have none.


We create them due to having our consciousness being asleep.


The consciousness sees cause and effect and knows the balance and sees the balance and abides by the balance. Because it knows well that imbalance brings pain.


We accrue karmic debts for the bad actions and for the good actions we don't do.


To be free one has to arrive at the state of not owing and not being owed. Adeptus Exemptus.


We all have karmic debts. One of the goals of Gnosis is to lead the aspirant to pay all these debts


Dharma: Sanskrit word for compensation. Cosmic capital. Do good works to accrue dharma.


Having cosmic capital - dharma we can pay for all that we need. Not having it can mean dire straits, while having it means being saved from dire straits.


Holds the explanation to the 'why' and 'how' of the things of our life.


Different types of karma. There are several different types. Very useful information. Especially that which says karma is negotiable.

Katancy (superior karma of the awakened), kama-duro (non-negotiable), karma-saya (links due to sex).


Karma is processed at different levels.   

Processed on the level of: the individual, a family, a nation, a planet etc.


It has a mechanical aspect and a negotiable aspect.

Divinely administered. Divine Tribunal, with 42 judges and the high Priest Anubis - the 43rd judge.


By contacting the Divine aspect of Karma we can modify circumstances. 


Karmic instruments. Don't become a karmic instrument which is used by the Law to make others to suffer.


Karmic circumstances which are: illness, delays, impediments, difficulties, conflicts are the vehicles of karma.


Karma has a special flavour, through which we can easily recognize that we are under karma.


Karma operates in time and space. We see this perfectly in recurrences.


When we work on ourselves we open up a new karmic line for ourselves, distinct to our present mechanical line of not working on ourselves.


If we are sick, work to heal others to accrue the merit to heal ourselves.


To find balance we need to get unbalanced first then we can find balance knowing what unbalanced is like.


Karma is a medicine for the soul. It is not an oppression or punishment but a medicine to bring us back to balance.


There is no one punishing us but ourselves. If we are always balanced karma will never touch us.


We mainly get karma for what we say and do. We don't get physical karma for our thoughts. We with our thoughts though initiate certain internal processes that later can become feelings and actions and then karma or dharma results.


So important it is to learn from our own karmic processes.


We fully complete the karmic process when we learn where the pain is and why it is there. Then we pay knowingly and we won't repeat that conduct or action or say those words. Karma makes us conscious.


Karma shows us the truth of unity. We hit someone. It is not long before we are hit back exactly the same. Showing us to hit someone is to hit ourselves.


We need to learn to trust in Justice. If we are wronged leave it to the Law. All human beings are affected by justice and have these issues of justice affect their lives at some point. This point is valuable wisdom to all of us. If only we are able to trust that is. Karma teaches us trust.


Don't take justice into your own hands. Trust in it and leave it to the powers which are above to solve/balance.


The main fight with karma is light. Not being able to see. Karma confuses and blinds us. That is really where the main suffering is, in not knowing, in not seeing. Awakening our consciousness is the main remedy for karma.


Because we don't see the cause, we think we are being punished. We feel life, nature, people, God are all against us. But it is not life, people or God but it was our own selves. All because we can't see.


The three best ways to pay karma are awakening, transmuting and uniting.


In unity there is balance. Perfect stability or equipoise or balance.


All three factors combined together pay the maximum. Though the first factor of mystical death pays the most of all three.


Karma is round. Just like time is round. Because when there is karma it must come back to us. If it were not round, say it were linear we would escape from it. Karma uses the roundness of time.


Balance is not an amorphous thing. It is not to be between two opposites but to chose one and remain at the centre of that chosen option.


We have most of our karma from past lives. That is the most important karma to pay. It takes precedence over the karma in this life.


It is a good sign when we see the debts from this life coming to us to be paid. Meaning we have cleared a lot of karma from the past.

Attention with Mind, Attention with Essence - (5197)

These two attentions are different. Attention with the mind tires the brain. and reduces the flow of life into steps, where it is inevitable that the narration of the mind begins to take over. With the awareness of steps comes a certain tediousness and the feeling of the flow of life leaving us behind. With the attention of mind very little of what's behind events comes to us... Attention with the essence brings the power of presence, in other words brings a certain depth and continuity of flow  Attention with the essence doesn't tire or strain and opens doorways into perceiving what is behind events and the thoughts and feelings that appear within us. It allows us also to flow with the flow of life, which is a pleasant feeling. Conclusion, make the essence bring attention to outer and inner life. End (5197).

The Sacred Substance Askokin - (962)

Introduction In simple terms, the sacred Askokin substance is the result of the mercury and the sulphur. It is the transmuted energy that crystallises to form the internal bodies (astral, mental and causal). In other words, it is the transmutation of our sexual energies. The Abrustdonis’ and ‘Helkdonis that Gurdjieff mentions in the excerpt below, taken from “Belzeebub’s Tales to His Grandson” are none other than the elements of mercury and the sulphur so spoken about in Alchemy. Excerpt on the Sacred Substance Askokin “I first learned that the destiny of beings arising on this planet of yours is chiefly to elaborate—by means of the process of their existence—the vibrations required by Nature for the maintenance of those former parts of the planet now called Moon and Anulios, when, do you remember, I became worthy personally to converse for the second time with His Conformity the then still Angel, but now Archan...

Wisdom from the Movie “Kingdom of Heaven” - (2168)

Introduction There are some movies that leave you with some pieces of advice that at point or another in your life or in the lives of others prove useful. This movie: “Kingdom of Heaven” was terrible to watch (too many battle scenes and people dying) but offered some very useful messages. In this post, I have presented a few, that have come in handy at point or another. Just to give you a bit of context, the movie is about the crusades, where the French and English were trying to defend the “Holy City” – Jerusalem from Islamic occupation. The topic of religion and God is a constant theme in the movie. It is very violent though, matching it frankly, quite awful to watch. Your Soul is in Your Keeping Alone An interesting dialogue between the French appointed king of Jerusalem and French Knight, the protagonist of the movie. Note, the king wears that metal mask because he has leprosy. King Baldwin I...
