Our Karmic Debt And Its Effects

Our attitude and behaviour are created by our past experiences, and our reactions to those experiences. This is how we learnt to be ‘us’, our social I. This karmic load of I, which made us the way we are – habitually predictable and one-dimensional – has to be disengaged from karmic gearing so that, when certain situations arise, we remain in neutral. That in itself brings a halt to us accelerating and causing a incident.

The problem is the bits of information that we cling to which give us an incomplete picture. All we have to do is become aware that we are responding in a certain way. This is usually due to social pressure of mass hysteria; there are plenty of organisations willing to do this for ‘right’ effect.

Karma is our precious teacher as it is with us right up to the moment of enlightenment. It shows us where we’re going wrong. If we want to be believe we are ‘right’, we will never learn to ascend beyond the way we think now.

If we think we’re right, is that completely satisfying?

Complete: Latin completus, past participle of complere ‘fill up, finish, fulfil’.
Karma: from Sanskrit karman ‘action, effect, fate’.The sum of a person’s actions deciding their fate in future existences.
Kismet: from Turkish, from Arabic qisma ‘division, portion, lot’.

Karma operates as a self-sustaining mechanism
– as natural universal law
without any need of an external entity to manage it.

If we seek only pleasant situations
that is the maintenance of our old karmic habits.

The work begins with unpleasant circumstances,
where we feel uncomfortable and see the need to change.

This is why Dzogchen is of utmost value in this age of conflict.
If everyone was ‘happy’, there’d be no progress … why would we change?

Don’t be frightened to look.

When we can face anything,
we are no longer hiding.
