No More Karma

It has been fashionable for a long, long time in spiritual circles to view life as the opportunity to learn lessons about self. It has been the view that we have miscreated in the past (sinned) through ignorance, egotism and a sense of being separate . We have chosen thoughts and actions that are against the truth of creation and therefore must learn, through the negative consequences of our actions. “As ye sow, so shall ye reap” has been the catch phrase. This view of the Law of Karma has seemed to explain clearly why we suffer and how to break the cycle of pain, misery and despair. The karma in this sense, has become part of a Western way of thinking.
Now Karma in this light appeals very much to our sense of justice. Not only does it say that we can change what we experience through our intent and action but also it helps us to accept the apparent injustices that happen everywhere we look in human affairs. There is a great sense of relief and even complacency and satisfaction in the thought that people who engage in cruel, malicious, and destructive acts will “get their come uppance” in the long run, and that makes everything seem fair. The Law of Karma has operated as a Law of impersonal Retribution. Something the Universe does to correct its naughty children. And thus all the negative experiences you have had in this life are a result of negative things you have done in the past and you are “paying’ for in the light of self knowledge.
Think for a moment. Have you never felt when something makes you feel bad about yourself, that somehow you deserve it and are being fairly punished? Your suffering becomes a confirmation of your unlovableness, your unworthiness. This view of yourself is deeply ingrained in the subconscious and the belief in the Law of Karma does not help. It merely gives an explanation of why you must suffer. It helps to reinforce in you the image of your unworthiness. Subtlety, the beliefs held about the operation of the Law of Karma keep you living the untruth of being here to learn lessons that are predetermined by your past negative thoughts and actions. The task of clearing and purifying yourself becomes daunting and overpowering. When you hold an unkind thought or act out negative feelings you then feel you have gone backwards. There will be consequences and you will have to face it all again. Is it any wonder you want to give up? Is it any wonder you feel it would be better not to know and go blissfully on your own way without guilt and simply taking pleasures as you find them? Where ignorance is bliss, tis folly to be wise”.
Karma, bunkum! Maybe in this New Reality there is no such thing as the Law of Karma. Living life is not about justice and fair play, it is about choices. You making the conscious choices for the experiences you desire. You are the Creator of your world. The tension between the opposites like joy and sadness, love and fear, is what you have come to experience and resolve and dissolve. You are learning to move beyond duality. The New Reality says that you can choose or not choose anything. You are not here to learn lessons, you are here on an experiential adventure as a child of the Stars. That Karma is the Law of cause, and that you are the cause of all you experience. Through your love and by your intents you can create anything, any opportunity for the experiences you wish to have.
For ages now you have created an endless cycle of birth and rebirth, Karma and Justice. Do you want to keep playing that game or do you want another more grown up game? Where you are the initiator; where you do not have to have repeat experiences and you do not have to be at war with yourself and thereby with others; where you share with others as you explore the joy of your own self expression in an unlimited Universe; where your body does not die; and where suffering is a choice that not longer makes any sense because you have grown out of it.
What is happening to you now has nothing to do with payback. All Karma, all the human experiences of the past ages have risen to the surface and are there to be examined at this time. Humanity has said “Enough!” to the endless cycle of repeat lessons. You have learned all you can about suffering. The game is up. Why not take a deeper, truer viewpoint of the whole game you have been playing. Clear it all forever with your love, understanding and forgiveness. Even drop completely the rules of justice. Balance is already deeply inherent in the Reality of your Love. That is all that is needed. How can you see the most undesirable person in the most loving way.  Now there is a challenge.
And if you forgive everyone, but especially forgive yourself totally, for everything you have ever done that separates you from any other aspect of creation, then who in your creation is unworthy enough to suffer consequences of their action, and where would the Law of Retribution be?
Why not declare today that all your karma be null and void. You have the power.
