Over many years I have come to understand that these inorganic beings represent a far more complex symbiosis, a kind of mirror, where the internal and external worlds are fused at a very deep and intimate level, and this process deepens and changes over time as you burn off your karma

Each step, each life, and the experiences of each learning cycle were carefully planned by the law of Karma
26.
The divine intelligence called Karma is responsible for this plan and generates experiences according to our learning plan and the time that we require to learn each lesson that comes with it
27.
“Let’s define Karma again and expand on this concept
28.
In many philosophies, Karma represents the fatalistic consequence of what we did during our lives, an action and reaction
29.
This concept of reward and/or punishment according to your past actions is a naive explanation of the precious and complex work accomplished by Karma
30.
Karma is not either a law or a divine mechanism for reward or punishment
31.
Karma is the divine intelligence that drives our ‘Angels’ training strategy’ throughout our spiritual journey: from dark ignorance to perfection
32.
“Most people are unaware that we can influence our Karma in many ways
33.
But we can go further by surrendering and starting to work hand in hand with Karma, as we would with our headmaster
34.
If we are able to read these messages and learn the lesson before they become a challenging experience, Karma will be satisfied and the experience can be avoided
35.
This transforms our relationship with Karma from a passive feeling of fatality to a constructive and grateful attitude for every experience received, good or bad
36.
Mastering the relationship with Karma puts us in charge of our evolution, allowing for a much more enjoyable, efficient, and powerful life
37.
“If Karma is the headmaster, then the Spirit Guides are our tutors
38.

It is the karma you carried from another lifetime of which you, and only you, were the creator of it then as now
41.

42.
In sum, we can illustrate the working of karma using the following two equations:
43.
First, karma and its results are certain and unfailing – with the results at all times being similar to the cause
44.
Karma and its results are exactly like a seed and its fruit
45.
The "four laws of karma" are described in this chapter
46.
In Buddhism the operation of karma is classically demonstrated with the analogy of throwing a stone into a pond
47.
Karma is fixed and definite
48.

Karma Is Never Wasted – Reaping Now and Later
52.
Therefore, due to its delayed fruition, karma remains a hidden factor, veiled and unknown
53.
The Buddha, unlike us, could see the workings of karma – since the range of his mind was vast
54.
Mostly, when people say “I don’t believe in karma” they are referring to this one way of not witnessing how actions create results – the fact that we cannot see the mysterious workings of future karmic results
55.
However, we can observe how karma operates in the first five ways – the fact that actions have definite results in the present
56.
Mindfulness is being aware about our thoughts, words, and actions – and, in the context of this book, it relates to minding our karma
57.
Understanding how the law of karma works, together with mindfulness, we can confidently begin to create the causes for future happiness, rather than simply fall prey to continued misery
58.
To angrily respond, therefore, would only create negative karma – with potential negative long-term effects for all!
59.
From a karma standpoint, these wholesome actions will yield present and future well-being
60.
If the predominant force in our life is hatred, then we shall always be having angry thoughts towards others, which is to say that we shall constantly be creating destructive mental karma
61.
As a result, we are continually accumulating negative karma, and this karma itself creates the world of appearances that we shall experience in the future
62.
Karma plays an ongoing role in the present reality of our lives
63.
By reflecting on karma, we can understand and live life in a more fulfilling way
64.
This is how karma plays out in our lives in the present moment – how we live it experientially
65.
This is the law of karma in operation
66.
With an awareness of the law of karma, dealing with problems, such as anger and retaliation, offers fresh possibilities
67.
[59] If our misery, such as our antagonism and resentment, is not created by others – but is only due to our own karma – then we can ask ourselves, why direct our anger toward others?
68.
Viewing this dining incident through the eyes of karma, a shift occurred in my mental outlook
69.
In sum, while it is good to patiently endure one's troubles, there is also wisdom in thinking how to protect oneself from hardship or adversity in the future by not accumulating more negative karma in a mindless way
70.
What is appearing to our mind at the moment is doing so not because there is something self-existent "out there" totally separate from ourselves, but because of the kind of karma we have created, because of the kind of mind we have cultivated
71.
The law of karma opens our understanding to how our unique personalities develop
72.
When we are angry, we experience the suffering of that anger as present karma and are also strengthening that particular pattern of mind
73.
In other words, whenever we act, speak or think, we create karma and that karma eventually ripens into painful, pleasurable, or neutral experiences for us, depending on the action
74.
Clearly, karma is ceaselessly involved in how we interact with others
75.
The natural and invisible, but real law of karma has a critical effect on our health and healing
76.
A specific example of how karma (cause and effect) operates in the human body is shown in the table that follows
77.
" Then, reflect on the possibility: "I created this trouble – I created the karma that is now ripening as this problem
78.
We should also be informed about actions we plan – especially their possible outcomes – in order to avoid creating bad karma, both immediately and in the future
79.
When reflected upon, I would like to further suggest that the universal law of attraction is also a part of the law of karma
80.
The only way to end any pattern of attracting negative situations into your life is to become conscious of it and change your karma so that you change your subconscious intention
81.
Your right brain, the seat of your subconscious, is aware of all your unresolved karma that needs addressing
82.
Although you cannot completely resolve all of your psychological issues and heal all your karma in this lifetime, the more you are aware of them and actively working to resolve them, the better your chances of changing your vibration and attracting what you consciously desire
83.
The moment you work on your own unresolved karma, you change your vibration at a cellular level, emptying your energy field of some of the toxic residue that slows it down
84.
It takes constant work to clear your karma
85.
In other words, we manifest, or bring about, circumstances through our thoughts, feelings, and actions – again, I suggest that this is the law of karma (cause and effect) in operation
86.
Interfering with Others' Karma?
87.
Desiring to help others, as well as being aware of the law of karma, is a delicate balance that calls for both wisdom and compassion
88.
While our intentions to help a person may be loving, we need wisdom to know whether our help will interfere with the results of their karma, and whereby the person then avoids resolving their personal issues
89.
Two risks are involved: creating needless misery for ourselves and causing the person to create more negative karma
90.
Whenever we choose to engage in someone else's narrative about being a victim, we enable them to avoid looking honestly at themselves, which is the first step in healing their own karma
91.
Conviction about karma, and our resolve to change, is reinforced when we deeply consider the following:[84]
92.
Karma is directly related to our intention or motivation while doing an action
93.
Karma is the universal law of cause and effect
94.
Our relationship to karma is very simple – we are the actual product of our karma
95.
We are the product of every thought, feeling, word, and action from our past and we will be the product of our karma in the future as well
96.
Life is a seamless continuum, uninterruptedly weaved together with the threads of our karma; our volitional (intentional) actions
97.
Whether it is good or bad, our karma follows us everywhere, in this life and the next
98.
Karma is our only true property – for better or worse, it follows us everywhere
99.
Therefore, the Law of Karma teaches that responsibility for unskillful actions is born by the person who commits them
