I dedicate this post to {{{tumel}}}.

All “Karma” is nothing more then Judgment.

Now I do not mean judgment as in, discernment.  Like how to discern a ripe melon.  I mean Judgment, an attitude of condemnation, leading to rejection and exclusion.   Attitudes and ideas that lead to separating people from one another.  Our “cast thee out” attitudes of Denial for “missing the mark” would be an example.

Basically, it is a Karma of Identity.   It presupposes  that on a basic level we are all the same, as has been proven through quantum physics.    Science calls this state of ‘oneness’ and ‘whole’ the “Unified Quantum Field”.  Religion has always called it “God” and “Spirit” and “Life”.  Essentially, from the point of view of Atonement (At-One-Ment), any and all Judgments are Self Judgments.

A Soul is a reflection of Spirit, transformed to function and operate at a different level of frequency, besides the Absolute.    Similar to the way electricity passes through  step down transformers in order to operate at varied frequencies needed.

Incarnation is the act in which a Soul is born into a physical body.  At that time cycles are set into motion.  For in any lifetime a Soul will develop a Personality and, that Personality will be influenced by many factors.

Each of Us, as Persons, choose how to behave in any given situation.  Each of Us chooses how we are going to respond to any of these given situations, too.  When our choice, our intent or our behavior is not in agreement or alignment with the Understanding of Spirit, then a pattern is created and, the Law of Circles or the Law of Attraction or the Law of Karma is activated.  An Aspect of our Personality is then created and becomes the vehicle for working out the ‘karma of our Soul’.

It is also True, that when our choices and behavior reflect the greater Understanding of our Spirit, then a new pattern is created, the karma transcended and, a new series of consequences begun.  This is bringing all our aspects back into alignment.   Replace a Soul habit (karma)  with a Spirit habit (dharma) and all Karma is transcended instantaneously.

Here are our major areas of Karma or Self Judgment, keeping in mind that when ever and if ever We judge anyone, it is considered a Judgment of Self.  A Soul cannot reach Atonement, while there are any patterns of Self Judgment operating through our Personalities.   All aspects must be integrated in order to experience Completion or Wholeness.

Family:

This is the area of the “sins of the parents”.  These Judgments are based upon our parents’ reputation and status.  Judgments are placed on children based on Judgments placed on the parents.  It is not until later in life when we take responsibility for our own lives, that we begin to become free of this family “karma”.

Transcendence comes from Love, Unconditional Love.  Not a love of attachment or dependency.  We have to learn how to love our family, unconditionally, free of attachment and dependency, regardless of reputation, quality of living conditions or, stresses between parents.

Children:

As a Soul,  parenting is the responsibility of raising and bringing up a child.  How we perform this task determines behaviors and attitudes our children take on as adults. Every individual’s actions reflect back upon our upbringing, until the patterns are transcended.   If patterns are operating,  we might not have any children, or children might be a source of shame or, some other form of disappointment.

Transcendence comes from Cooperation & Service to others,  specifically as it concerns Parent’s Responsibilities towards our children and, most especially our own attitudes towards our children.    As a Soul, responsible parenting is a Service done in Cooperation with the Whole.

Yet, unconditional love still heals, for with it comes the Understanding that each of us as a Parent, has always done the best we knew/know how.   There is always room for improvement.

Enemies:

This is a Judgment of our enemies and adversaries.   It activates the Law of Opposites: all imbalances move towards harmony and equilibrium.   To work against something is to give it Power.

The solution is simple but not easy.  In order to transcend the pattern we have to find a way to be supportive of our adversaries, as well as, avoid entertaining negative thoughts about them.   Even go so far as to avoid groups of people who think negative thoughts about them, too.   It is more productive to use energy to move forward,  rather then in getting even.

Social:

Throughout a lifetime friendships and group associations are developed. Karma is created when and if any of these group associations choose to adopt attitudes of prejudice and bias towards any other group or individual.  Two common attitudes are “superiority” and “inferiority”, which create consequent emotions of disdain and resentment.

Simply by being members of a group we incur the karma of that group.   Actions taken in response to a group’s activities may very well be directed at individuals, who may or may not have been party to their group’s action.

The social identification of our Soul is as a Humanitarian, in recognition of the equality and the equanimity, within the humanity of each of Us.   Group association is based upon the development of loving attitudes towards all groups of people.   Quality of character is emphasized rather then achievement of any particular physical status.

Vocational:

Judgments which elevate one profession or occupation over another are separating in nature and, create a karmic imbalance.  Any and all ideas of status are man made and give rise to illusions, which create dualities and polarities.  Some occupations are ‘looked down upon’; others are ‘looked up to’.  Choosing a profession carries with it all the judgments associated with that profession.

To transcend this karma is to understand that there is an equal value in all service performed, regardless of that service.  For the profession of a Soul is simply to Serve the Whole.

National:

This is a larger group identification but it does not proceed from a conscious choice of the individual.  Every Soul is born a citizen of a particular nation, incurring the karmic judgments and imbalances of that nation.

Every nation has a national attitude based upon the history of that nation in relationship to other nations.   These attitudes are expressed by having judgments and prejudices towards other nationalities or in being offended by other nationalities’ prejudice against one’s nation.   “Patriotism”  and “ethnic pride” are both examples of the karmic imbalance of competition.

To a Soul, the purpose of nations relating to each other is to create a merging of cultures and people, transforming and uplifting both.   One World, many nations sharing it.  Liberty entails respecting all choices and finding ways to work in cooperation with them.

Religious:

Religious affiliations incur the karma of that religious group.   These are Judgments of bias and prejudice based upon religious belief.  Atrocities have been committed by one religious group upon another in the name of deity. Religious karma carries with it feelings of resentment towards others of different religions even though individuals never meet.   Feelings of detesting certain religious groups and feelings of superiority of one’s own religion are both forms of this type of karmic imbalance.

From a Soul’s Understanding, any idea or belief of bias, prejudice, arrogance or supremacy, any idea that is separative in function is not a Spiritual idea.  It is considered man made nonsense and in no way serves Deity, which represents the Whole.  The Whole is the sum of all parts, not just some of them.  All That Is, is all that is.

Racial:

These are Judgments of any kind of prejudice based on racial heritage.  Red, Black, Yellow, Brown and, White, each group has committed actions against the others or for the others and, the karma is not yet balanced.    So long as there are feelings of hatred, anger and fear associated with any racial group, so long as there exist racial tensions, there is a karmic pattern in motion.

A Soul Understands the nature of our bodies as inconsequential.   What is from the earth will return to the earth and that which is of Spirit to Spirit.   Prejudice based on race is the most superficial of prejudices.  A Soul also Understands that in order to create the merging of all groups and races,  it was necessary to bring the races together.  Cultures were intended to merge not clash.

All Karma is based on ideas that separate Humanity into groups, categories or classes.  One group is elevated at the expense of others.  One group can only be good by making another group bad.   This is the foundation of duality and polarity.   Where there is imbalance, there will be Karma and resolution will be the purpose of the Soul.

I read a meditation the other day that turned my blood cold. I knew at the time the author had no understanding of what they were encouraging, otherwise, they wouldn’t have been doing it. Their heart was genuine and their intention pure.

It began with a visualization of imagining the bonds we have with our families, then imagining extending those bonds to include everyone else in the World. “Better not try this with me,” I thought. “  It has all the attraction of diving into a pool of piranhas. No thank you.”

I thought this, because quite frankly, I don’t find the attitude of being made into fodder for other people, to be a very Respectful, much less a Loving perspective of the Value of my Life.

For get it.

Any family that believes it ‘OK’ for any member of it, to ‘sacrifice’ their life, their pleasures, their joys and their dreams, for the sake of other members, isn’t any kind of family I care to be considered a part of.

For get it.

Let’s have the Courage of Heart to be Honest. Most of Us were raised in totally dysfunctional families. And if we think our family doesn’t fall under this category, then we’re lying to ourselves. Think the attachments we have with our family’s are bonds of Love? Well, think again.Think about how many people in our families we’d even be friends with, if we weren’t related. That’s how many family members we have bonds of ‘love’ with.

The rest, are ties that try to bind, out of guilt and obligation. They are ‘karmic’ bonds. If we could all see these karmic bonds, we could see they are ugly in the extreme. Green-black in color, slimy, oozy and putrid. They are bonds of our slavery, that all of us who worship ‘need’ are required to accept as proof of our piety.

The very last thing I’d seek to do, is create the same ties and bonds with the rest of the World, as I experienced growing up with those who have called themselves my ‘family’. I only consider ‘family’ those I relate to on a heart level. The very last thing I respond to, are calls of ‘obligation’. For I’m not ‘obligated’ to share my self with anyone.

If people act repulsive, there’s nothing ‘wrong’ with being repulsed. It’s a simple action of cause and effect. Negative means to negate, to repulse. Repulse what? Repulse Love. Why do we imagine negative people are always crying out they need attention? Because the water of Life cannot flow through pipes that are clogged. What a lot of our ‘families’ teach, is to override this natural law, deny ourselves and live without Integrity of being, because of the use of guilt and ideas of servitude to the group.

To transcend ‘karma’, means to dissolve it, not feed it. I’ve happened to notice how many parents whine about not being remembered by their children, blaming their children. Well…not being remembered is the natural result of choosing to be an unmemorable person. It’s not our kids fault if we’re not the kind of parent that’s worth remembering. If we haven’t been Lovable, then we have no claims to being loved, for one, is the result of the other.  Being an emotionally insecure and needy parent, is not the same as being a Loving one.  Just as raising an emotionally needy child, is not the same as raising a Loving child.

That’s why I am recommending this ‘idea’. IMAGINE yourself floating in the air. Now imagine you can see all the cords indicating all the relationships you have in your life. Have the Courage to ‘see’ them as they are. They are cords of fear. Cords of doubt. Cords of need. They are ties whose purpose is to bind. To limit. They appear greenish black, sometimes going towards having a grey cast to them, too. They’re also slimy, like ooze and, foul smelling.

Here’s the thread Simon!  The last one served its purpose, though what that purpose was mihgt only be known to me at this point….

Kundalini rising, yes, you are experiencing it.   Our Creative Center, our Root, is like a pot belly stove that just lies smoldering, waiting for a breath or two to bring its fire to Life.    It is a fire that doesn’t burn, it transmutes.  It heals.  It frees energy locked in dense states.      And yes, it does correspond  to our spinal column.   ‘A pillar of Light’ as I’ve heard even some Chiropractors call it.

Acknowledge the fact that you ARE aware of it.  It means you are connecting more and more, to other levels of your awareness, bringing them all online simultaneously.  It takes the ‘qualities’ raining upon you from your upper chakras, 9-12 figuratively speaking, to balance and clean out the ‘lower’ ones, 1-7.  ’8′ being a bridge.

Our Heart center eventually fuses with our Throat center, becoming one Unified Center that  is called our Higher Heart.

I mention the smybol of the Star of David.   Look closely.  It has one triangle on the top with its apex pointing down and another on the bottom, with its apex pointing up.  This represents the Divine Union.  Spirit/human.  Male/female.  Upper/lower.

Breathe…just breathe, that’s all it takes.  And be unafriad of whatever surfaces.  Have Faith in the qualities of your Heart.

Contemplate that there is no ushc thing as an ‘order of difficulty’ from Spirit’s perspective.   

You’re leaving a Universe of Doubt and, stepping into one that can be embraced with open arms. 

I have read of people being described as energetic ‘vampires’, ‘ticks’ and ‘leeches’. I used to use those same labels, too.   Before I understood.  Before I understood I was one, too.  ‘Vampire’, ‘tick’ and, ‘leech’ are all parasitic life forms.   Life forms that build their private worlds out of the life blood of others.   And the ‘bad’ news, is that our World is full of them. It’s what ‘We’ are.

It is the relationship pattern we have all been taught. Every single one of us. We were shown by all the examples in our lives, that draining other people’s lives to benefit our own, is ’normal’. Not only normal but the standard by which moral perfection is gauged.

Yes, I was a vampire. I used people to feed me. I used them when I was feeling doubtful to tell me I shouldn’t be. I used them when I was feeling self pity to assure me, that yes, I was pitiful. I used them when I was feeling scared to help me feel secure. Whatever feeling I didn’t have, I looked to others to feed me. Whatever nurturing I emotionally needed, I demanded be provided by others, like I was a baby and had never been weaned from Momma’s breast, emotionally.

Whatever Virtue of character I lacked, I looked to others to provide.
