Spirit
Contracts and Karma
We
all have free will to choose.
However, once our soul decides to follow a particular path, the rest of
our being must go along for the ride. And even if our human
self later
finds out that it does not like that path, our soul is committed,
and like it or not, it will drag us down that path wherever it
takes
us
- to hell and back if need be.
When
we were still incoporeal spirits making plans to incarnate into a body,
we made a "Soul Agenda” - binding energetic commitments,
agreements or contracts which involved not just our self and Spirit,
but many other souls who we would have interaction with (future
parents,
partners, children, teachers, etc). All those who agree to involve
themselves with us, then signed their names
upon an etheric document (held in a special place). When the agreed
upon moment
comes, these contracts are activated.
There are
many different sorts of “Agreements” or
“Contracts”.
The first
to be established are our "Worldly Contracts".
These form the basic material structure of our outer life... such as
where and when you are going to be born, who your parents are
to be, what schools you are to attend and teachers you are to learn
from, who you are to marry, who is to be your children, what work you
are going to do, when you are to die, and so on.
However,
the essential or most important are our “God
Contracts”, “Karmic Contracts” and
“Karmic Agreements”.
God
Contracts
Each one of us holds within our
being... reflected
as the unique light of our soul - the varied expressions of our love -
our very Selves. This “Love” is essentially our
reason for being - our "Higher Purpose" (and if we could not give or
“serve” this to others, that light and loving part
of us would feel as good as dead). The soul’s heart felt
desire to serve this "Higher Purpose" in life is formalized in Spirit
as ones "Spiritual" or "God Contracts" - which is to say that you are
wanting to partake of the opportunity to be a
“Lover” or "Co-Creator" with God. These are the
"Star Seeded Souls" - incarnate upon the earth to fulfill or manifest a
certain divine duty and sacred purpose for the greater good. These
beings are here to be of service to the Spiritual Hierarchy -
selflessly helping their fellow humans be free from the shackles of
soul slavery. As I have seen, these are the souls who are even remotely
motivated or interested in following the healing
path. However, this begs the question...
Why are we not able to know, express, or manifest our “Higher
Purpose”?
The answer
is twofold and very simple...
we are blocked up with karma, and we are in ego-resistance.
Unfortunately
(over many lifetimes) most of us Star Seeded Souls – that is,
if this describes you - have accumulated our own
“karmic” junk stored layer upon layer within our
consciousness and energy fields, that our very being is not only hidden
from the world, but even from our own selves.
All this
must be cleared first (through much purification and healing) before we
can ever go about manifesting all of our spiritual gifts.
Karma
One can’t really speak of contracts without the topic of
“Karma” coming up – they really go hand
in hand. "Karma" is sometimes considered life's "hard knocks" - the
many unpleasant experiences a soul goes through here on planet earth.
Some others would interpret "Karma" to be "divine retribution" or a
punishment from God against those who sin. But by definition, "Karma"
simply means the forces of action and reaction - the law of cause and
effect. "Karma" is like one of Newton's laws of physics -
every action has its equal and opposite reaction ("you reap what you
sow"). All things you have ever done in the past, returns to bite or
bless you in the future. In other words, "Karma" is a cyclic energy
– “what goes around comes around”
(harming or praising you). "Karma" is the universal law of justice that
balances the energetic forces of your life - there is no escaping it -
everyone is personally responsibility for all that they have ever done.
Karma also has no time limits - if in one moment in one life you set in
motion a particular act, you may not reap the fruit of it until many
years... or many lives later. If one plants a seed in the ground, that
seed will eventually grown into a tree - this is "Karma".
Good
Karma
I would say that it is the “good energy” we perform
acts with that counts as “Good Karma” - not the
acts themselves. What is determined as “good” by
our ego-minds (and its collective form as societies
“norms” and “morals”) is
usually a mental judgment, and rarely of the highest truth - as it is
said “the road to Hell is paved with good
intentions”. It is also said that we don’t get to
Heaven by good deeds (alone). Heaven is an internal place of
consciousness - not a material place which we work our way up to by
worldly acts. However, if our actions come from the pure energies of
our inner hearts (that place in us that is of Heaven) naturally,
that’s another matter – then we strengthen such
energies in the world, and in ourselves - this is
“good” karma.
“Good
karma” is when you
send a positive energy out into the world - a positive energy will
eventually come back to you. If a man praises his wife... who praises
her son... who pets the dog... who fetches dad’s newspaper -
this is good karma (even if the dog chews up the paper before
delivering it). On the deeper levels, it’s the
“positive energy” behind the feelings that really
counts as good karma, not the outward appearance of the act.
The only
problem we can have with good karma is when our limited ego-minds get
attached to it and wants to have it for ourselves. When it does this,
we get in trouble and the flow can shut down. Just like love, good
karma is an intangible we can allow to flow out of us, and receive it
back with open arms. We cannot put it on our mantle place as a trophy,
we cannot possesses it like a thing. When we start to do this, we turn
a good thing into a bad – instead of expanding and freeing up
our soul, it contracts and limits us further into our ego-mind. This is
what “bad karma” does to us.
Bad
Karma
“Bad karma” is when
you send
a “negative” (contracting and limiting) energy out
into the world - a negative energy will eventually come back to you.
It’s the man who yells at his wife... who yells at her son...
who kicks the dog... who bites the dad - a classic example of bad
karma. Each time you negatively react to the smallest events... you are
adding a little bit more to the emotional and energetic "spin"... a
little here... a little there... gathering energy... building steam...
escalating the whole mess till the reactions get way out of hand. This
is the cascading affects of karma, and it is quite powerful and
dangerous... and may last a very long time (lifetimes in fact). To
break bad karma takes a powerful act of spiritual grace – the
healing “higher power” of love and forgiveness.
Considered
ones "bad karma" are all the
disharmonious thoughts, words and deeds you have ever done -
contradictory to the universal laws of harmony and love. These exist
within ones dimensional energy bodies as negatively charged "vortices"
or "spins" of energy - also known as "samscaras"
- which distort and block the life flow. As mentioned elsewhere, these
"samscaras" can also be likened to scratches (scars) in a record - some
are superficial and some are deep. The more one repeats (reinforces) a
negative behavior (habit), the deeper this groove gets... till it
becomes a seemingly natural act and compulsion (like most addictions).
It takes much inner processing and healing to remove this groove from
ones energy fields, consciousness and ego-mind.
We are
always in choice to react or not react to someone’s actions
towards us. If the mom did not react to dads yelling at her, and she
did not yell at her son, then the son would not have kicked the dog and
dear old dad would not have gotten bitten. However, karma is tricky...
one must ask - why did the dad yell in the first place? What were the
events that created that to happen? Then of course, we have to look at
what happens within the mom if she just takes such
“abuse” and doesn’t outwardly react.
There still may be an internal reaction going on in her
body-mind-emotions, and if so, that would build up and eventually
explode (on some level) within her, or be projected out (either
physically, mentally or emotionally) towards someone else at some later
time. On the other hand, if dear old mom was able to transform and
purify that negative (contracting and limiting) karmic energy (with
love and forgiveness) then the cycle would be broken. By the way, this
is what Jesus did - by taking on (forgiving, i.e. transforming) the
negative karma (or “sins”) of his tormentors, he
broke a long chain of karma (action and reaction).
In every
moment of our life, we are (also and always) in choice to originate and
create new karmas (as in new actions) but we must still answer and be
responsible for the old energies that we have sent out from us in the
past - it must come back to its originator, its creator... eventually.
And when it does, we must again choose... do we react and add to it, or
do we forgive and transform it? (This process of inner transformation
is something the healing work can assist us in being able to more
effectively do).
Karmic
Relationships
Karma that is shared in
relationships can be
very individual specific, linked to that particular soul you have done
the "Karmic Dance" with - ones that you have (so to speak) "energy
with" or where there is a "negative" charge (as in "bad”
karma). In other words, anyone whom you have ever been engaged with in
a negative cycle of action and reaction (bad karma) that energy must be
neutralized - often by its opposite (quite like an antidote). The
biblical quote that epitomizes this teaching is "turn the other cheek",
and in the Lords Prayer "forgive us our trespass as we forgive those
who would trespass against us."
As an
extreme example... if you were killed by a particular person in one
life, the "human" thing to do would be to kill that person back the
next time you had the chance - thus escalating (building on) and
perpetuating this negative (bad karmic) energy. The "divine antidote"
is to neutralize this energy within the spirit of love and forgiveness,
directed not only to the other person, but most especially to
ourselves... for one never really knows if (at some distant time in the
past) you started this cascading bad karma with your own negative
action... and now your karma is catching up to you. Does it now stop
with you, or will it be added onto and perpetuated unto the next life?
And if you
have some "good” karma with another person with whom you may
have a "positive" charge with - if your ego-mind was attached to or is
holding on to them in any way, Spirit will bring
you together to work out your attachments so you may complete the
relationship and let these attachments go. In many circumstances (no
matter how much love you share) this may (eventually) involve letting
the other person move on in their life path (without you).
Similarly,
if you have any “bad” karma with another person
with whom you may have a "negative" charge with, your souls will
eventually be brought together again to "finish the dance" before you
may be allowed to move forward on your path. However, in some
situations when that other individual (who you were involved with) is
not available (or have since resolved their karma in another manner)
spirit may put in a substitute (who has similar issues) to take their
place.
Relationship
karma could also be seen as the mixed up, unresolved, co-dependant
energies and issues that you are sharing with, holding on to, and
projecting towards another being. As long as there are these sorts of
unresolved energies in any relationship, no one is ever really going to
be free or fully happy.
This
vicious cycle must be broken, but someone must make the first move.
However,
the energy dynamics of this sort of situation may set up the belief
that "I am not the problem - it’s the other person who needs
fixing not me!” When you place the problem on the other
person, you are disempowering your own self – but when you
take on the responsibility, you also assume the mantle of its power.
Besides, the healing has got to start somewhere... you might as well
make the first move - this is called "leading by example". However you
put it, in order to help someone else, you must focus on healing
yourself (considering that you are both sharing in the same karmic
energies - when you heal, they heal). Most relationships between
parents and children, and dating or married couples... have to do with
either relationship karma or karmic agreements.
Karmic
Agreements – Karmic Lessons
"Karmic
Agreements" on the other hand, are
situations specifically designed by Spirit so that you may gain ALL
perspectives in life. These are the specific life "lessons" that you
have chosen to learn for the sake of expanding or broadening
your experience of and compassion for the human condition
(especially if you are a new soul to this contracted, limited, dense
and dualistic dimension).
Where our
Worldly Contracts form the basic structure of our lives, Karmic
Agreements fill in the details. Some of these experiences may involve
pleasant activities and creative endeavors... some may be painful and
traumatic - going to war, being killed, raped or maimed. Over
lifetimes, if you were the persecutor (abuser) in one life you may be
the victim (abused) in the next; if were wealthy in one life you may be
poor in the next; if you were healthy in one life you may be sickly in
the next; if you were a student in one life you may be the teacher in
the next; if you were a man in one life you may be a woman in the
next... and so on, and on, and on.... Karmic agreements do not have to
be difficult or hard in the painful way you may think – as
the soul evolves and learns to readily respond to the “hard
knocks”, spirit will begin to softly and subtly
“tap” on your “door” with
lessons having more nuance and flair. The balance of karma is like the
swing of a pendulum... when it swings wide and fast, you are very out
of balance, and your lessons may be hard... when it swings slowly and
slight, your lessons may be more subtle and fine.
Karmic
Contracts
"Karmic Contracts" are
predominantly entered
into in order to clear negative actions (karma) accumulated in past
lives. If you didn't enter into the binding energies of these
contracts, you would try to avoid all the "unpleasant" experiences -
thus missing the important lessons and greater purposes in them.
Contracts are your way of compelling yourself to do something you as a
spirit wanted to experience or accomplish in the physical form - and
not back down later because it may seem too hard. The Contract is your
way of ensuring that no matter how clouded over with illusion and
forgetfulness your human consciousness and resistant your will may
become (once you are embodied) you will tend to fulfill your
contractual duties. For the soul knows (deep down) that if one does not
complete its mission - fulfilling all these karmic contracts in one
life time - than the soul must reincarnate until it does (and for the
soul that loves its freedom, that may not be a very desirable option).
One cannot
be absolved of nor escape fulfilling ones Karmic Contracts or
Agreements. However, spirit may provide us with many alternative
opportunities to work it out... either the "hard way" - through life's'
hard knocks, or the "easy way" - through the grace found within the
healing experience. (This work can help you quickly expedite and
resolve many karmic “entanglements" you may have with other
souls).
Personal
Responsibility
Each individual soul is personally responsible for all their deeds,
from the beginning of creation to the ends of the earth. No matter how
far out into space we go... no matter how fast we run down the ages of
time, eventually, our past deeds will always catch up to us. No one can
escape from karma, just as no one can escape from themselves (wherever
you go, there you are). Some may say karma is a cruel joke, but it is
actually a brilliant way the universe teaches us to learn and evolve
into higher functioning creatures. Karma is a sort of built in feedback
mechanism, epitomized in the biblical saying "Do unto others as you
would have them do unto you". This is the personal, universal, and
eternal lesson of karma.
The
physical and energetic laws of the universe demand balance - one side
of the equation must equal the other. No matter how awful certain
dramatic events may look from a human standpoint, the laws of Karma are
actually quite impersonal and unforgiving. However, there is a way out
(or should I say through)... and that is with the help of the healing
work.
The
Inner Dream
Before a soul
can move on or “Evolve” onto its higher
potential... onto the more outrageous possibilities that lie beyond the
limits of human imagination... one must fulfill ones "God Contracts"
and "Karmic Agreements". These contracts and agreements were both made
on your behalf (probably before you even came into this life) by your
Higher Soul Self, under the guidance and approval of the "Spiritual
Hierarchy".
These
contracts and agreements are ever beckoning to us through our
subconscious as: nudges, images, messages, feelings and
dreams....
Clues on what your own "inner dream" is may
be found scattered throughout your childhood. Try to remember those
moments (as a child) when you were happy. What were you doing? Write
down anything you can remember no matter how silly or stupid you might
think it to be – that thinking would be your adult
"judgmental mind" stepping in here now (Just put that aside for this
exercise). When you have found or remembered something from this time,
meditate on it... a lot. This may be your greatest treasure,
your greatest clue on what your life is all about. Following the crumbs
of these memories, and working to make them come true may be one of the
greatest things you can honestly do in this life.
Resistance
One
must eventually complete all contracts, "Spiritual" and otherwise (if
not in one life time than in another), but due to the power of the ego
on this dimension, one can be in a great deal of resistance, rejecting
guidance from the higher self and refusing to follow ones spiritual
destiny/path. (I think this has occurred with just about everybody
incarnated on this planet today). Fortunately, the Great Spirit
constantly reminds us of why we are really here by first sending us
subtle clues and signs – as nudges, images, messages,
feelings and dreams. They may come through the form of other humans
whose designated purpose is to be our spiritual healers and teachers
(The Great Spirit works through all people and events on this earth, if
not directly than indirectly). If the subtle approach doesn't get our
attention (if we are asleep or in rebellion) Spirit will send us some
very rude wake up calls (not to be confused with karma) often in the
form of near fatal accidents, health problems, financial difficulties,
failing relationships, or other dramatic events....
"Why would spirit wish us harm?" I
hear you ask.....
"Spirit" (our own "Higher Self" as well as
our "Spirit Guides") only wants what is in our highest and best
interests. What is the greater harm - "to gain the world or lose our
soul?"
Balance
of Karma and the Ascension of
Consciousness
When one is free of all these karmic entanglements and energies, the
forces of creation become balanced - inside and out – which
allows us to be truly free to ascend to a higher level of creation.
This karmic or energetic balance point is where we feel the inner and
outer become as “One” (“If thy eye be
single thy whole body is full of light”). This creates
feelings of well being, even bliss. Technically speaking, when we reach
this balance point, our energies naturally start to move inward towards
the core of our being (found within the spinal channel) and then - if
that channel is clear and unimpeded - these creative energies (also
known as the “Kundalini”) along with our human
mind-consciousness... can flow upward... through the core (also known
as the “Shushumna”). This raising of the
"Kundalini" energies is a prerequisite to the "Ascension" of the
“Christ”. Since the Kundalini energies are of the
created ego-mind (i.e. the creative psychic powers) they can only go up
so far into the higher dimensions... beyond which, the
ascension is not so much of the energies as they are the descent of the
higher consciousness into... and it’s merging with... the
lower consciousness. Generally speaking, work with the kundalini is the
“Red Tantra” work, and work with the higher and
lower consciousness is the “White Tantra” work.
20 Primary Universal
Laws by Dick Sutphen
This topic, broadcast on October 2nd 1987, examines twenty primary
Universal laws that when applied, assists us in maintaining the balance
in our lives. This is an extract from Dick Sutphen's book "Lighting the
Light Within".
The Universe is perfectly balanced by natural and moral laws with
regulatory vibrations to maintain order. When you work within the laws
you can be assured of an eventual positive outcome. When the laws are
transgressed you can be assured of suffering. The only purpose of this
is to teach you a better way.
1.
The Law of Harmony.
This law supersedes even the fundamental law of Karma, for harmony is
the supreme potential of balance. The purpose of Karma is to attain
harmony. If you throw a rock into a pond you disturb the harmony of the
pond. You are the cause, and the effect is the splash and the ripples
that flow out and back until harmony is restored. Similarly, your
disharmonious actions flow out into the Universe and back upon you,
lifetime after lifetime, until eventually your own harmony is restored.
2. The Law of Reincarnation
and Karma. Until you have resolved your Karma
and fulfilled your Dharma, which are the deeds you must do, you will
continue to reincarnate into sequential lifetime upon the earth.
Neither God nor the Lords of Karma bestow suffering upon you during
these lives. You and you alone decide what you most need to learn in
your earthly sojourns. Thus for each life experience you seek out other
Souls, often with shared histories, with Karmic configurations that
match your needs. Whenever you act with intention you create Karma.
Actions are considered to be thoughts, emotions, words and deeds, and
the motive, desire and intent behind each. Disharmonious acts must be
balanced in the future in this life or in a future lifetime, to have
Soul growth.
3. The Law of Wisdom.
Wisdom erases Karma. If you have the wisdom to learn your lessons
through love and wisdom you can mitigate your suffering. Sadly, we seem
to learn the fastest through pain, through directly experiencing the
consequences of our actions. As an example, you greedily take from
others, and instead of learning through wisdom and love that this is
wrong, you have to experience from others someone greedily taking from
you, whether later in this life or in a future lifetime.
Example 1: In your last life you were married to a Soul who
is your mate today, and whom you cruelly left for another in that
previous lifetime. Before you were born into your current life, you
agreed to be left by your mate, under similar
circumstances—this will allow you to balance your
Karma—and directly experience the pain of abandonment. If
through the wisdom of Master-Life-Awareness it is easier to detach
consciously from the relationship with love, you will ease the pain of
parting while also passing your own test, and thus absolving Karma and
evolving from within.
Example 2. Assume that you have Astrologically destined a
severe relationship test for May of your 35th year. If you have learned
through past life awareness, as well as present life learning, to be
positive, non-judgmental and without expectations in your relationship
you may only experience an argument with your mate on that fateful day
in May, but if you haven't learned your past lessons, and have
intensified your disharmony during your relationship you might
experience a divorce in May of your 35th year.
4. The Law of Grace.
Karma can be experienced to the letter of the law or in mercy and
grace. In other words if you give love, mercy and grace to others, you
will receive the same in return.
5. The Law of Soul Evolution.
Everyone on Earth shares the goal of Soul evolution whether they
realize it or not. We have reincarnated because we desire to evolve
spiritually. By rising above all of our fear based emotions and in so
doing learning how to express unconditional love we raise our
vibrational rate, and move closer to a state of harmony. Even where it
appears that we are not evolving we are in reality making progress. We
learn through the pain of our disharmonious acts, which can be viewed
as our mistakes or failures. This is the law of Soul evolution.
6. The Law of Bodhisattva.
Bodhisattva is a Sanskrit term commonly accepted by most Metaphysical
adepts today. It means one who has transcended the need of Earthly
incarnations but who has chosen to return to the earth to support
others in achieving enlightenment. A Bodhisattva knows he will never
really be free until all Souls are free. Most serious students of
metaphysics have entered the Bodhisattva Development Stage of their
evolution.
7. The Law of Vibrational
Attainment. The entire Universe operates on
the same principle of vibrational energy. When Einstein discovered that
"matter is energy," he opened the door to merging science and
metaphysics. Scientists have proven that energy cannot die, it can only
transform (reincarnate), and, by its very nature, energy must go
forward or backwards; it cannot stand still, for to do so is
stagnation, resulting in transformation. You are energy. Your skin,
which appears solid, is actually trillions of swiftly moving molecules
orbiting each other at a specific vibrational rate; a physical life
rate you have earned in the past as a result of how
harmoniously—or disharmoniously you have lived your past
lives and your current life up until this moment in time. When you are
harmonious for a lifetime, you will have attained the highest
vibrational rate—the God level.
8. The Law of Free Will.
The law of free will operates in three ways.
1. Although many of the major events in your life are Astrologically
predestined, you always have free will to mitigate the impact of the
event, or to transcend it entirely. This will result from how you live
your life up to the situation you have destined for yourself to
experience. If you give grace and mercy to others, are positive,
loving, compassionate, and demonstrate by your action that you have
learned past lessons, you can minimize disharmonious experiences!
2. As you obtain Master of Life awareness and develop conscious
detachment, you will be far less affected by worldly events than in the
past. A Master of Life enjoys all the warmth and joy that life has to
offer, but detaches from the negativity by allowing it to flow through
him without affecting him.
3. You always have free will in how you respond to any situation. If
you respond with positive emotions, compassion and integrity, you have
probably learned your karmic lessons and will not have to experience a
similar situation in the future.
9. The Law of One.
Every Soul, living and discarnate, is connected at the level of the
collective unconscious, deep within the Higher-Self. We are all part of
a great energy gestalt called God, and because we are part of God, we
are God. It is the goal of the gestalt to move the energy forward,
creating more energy. So, in living harmoniously, we each increase our
vibrational rate and intensify the vibration of the entire gestalt.
When we are disharmonious, we decrease the vibration of the entire
gestalt, because we are one. Everything you think, say and do, affects
every other Soul.
10. The Law of Manifestation.
Everything manifest begins as a thought, an idea. Ideas and experiences
create beliefs which in turn, create your reality. If you are unhappy
with your current reality, you must change your beliefs and your
behavior. Beliefs can be changed when you recognize those that are not
working for you, and begin programming what will create success and
harmony in your life. The unlimited creative power of your mind,
through dedication, awareness and training, can be the wisdom to rise
above your Karma. Within physical and spiritual laws, you can manifest
any reality you desire to experience. In regard to changing your
behavior, you must decide which disharmonious behavior you want to
eliminate. Then be aware that you don't have to change how you feel
about something to affect it, if you are willing to change what you are
doing.
11. The Law of Conscious
Detachment. Buddha's earthly teachings are
best summarized with one of his statements, "It is your resistance to
what is that causes your suffering." and by suffering, he meant
everything that doesn't work in your life; relationship problems, loss
of loved ones, loneliness, sickness, accidents, guilt, monetary
hardship, unfulfilled desires, and so on. When you accept what is, you
accept the unalterable realities in your life without resisting them.
Some things are facts. They exist, and no matter how much you resist
them, there is nothing you are going to be able to do about them.
Change what you can change, but have the wisdom to accept unalterable
situations as they are, without wasting mental or physical energy
attempting to change what you cannot change. Out of acceptance comes
involved detachment, which is the ability to enjoy all the positive
aspects of life, but to allow the negative to flow through you with out
resistance and without affecting you.
12. The Law of Gratitude.
From the perspective of Karma and the Law of One, the more you give,
the more you will receive. The more you assist others, the more you
will assist yourself. The power of this Law also works in your
day-to-day life.
13. The Law of Fellowship.
When two or more people of similar vibration are gathered for a shared
purpose, their combined energy directed to the attainment of that
purpose is doubled, tripled, quadrupled or more. This esoteric
awareness has been used by covens, esoteric religions, healing groups,
and recently, worldwide meditations for world peace.
14. The Law of Resistance.
That which you resist you draw to you, and you will perpetuate its
influence upon your life. Resistance is fear, so it is something you
need to Karmically resolve. The Law of Resistance assures that you let
go of the fear by encountering it until you are forced to deal with it
by learning conscious detachment.
Example: You may have a strong resistance toward people of the Asian
race; Black race, Jewish race, your mother-in-law. Your resistance is
fear. The quickest way to overcome that which you fear is through
direct experience, thus you will reincarnate as an Asian, Black, Jew,
or mother in-law in a future lifetime. When you attain Master of Life
awareness and stop resisting [your fear] by consciously detaching from
the negativity, the problem will be resolved. Most disharmonious
situations are solved through a change in your viewpoint. By changing
your perspective, you can usually eliminate the effects of a problem,
and if you are no longer affected by a problem, you no longer have a
problem, although nothing about the problem situation may have changed.
Another aspect of the Law of Resistance states, "That which you resist,
you become, if not in this lifetime, then in a future incarnation."
15. The Law of Attraction.
"Where your attention goes, your energy flows." You attract what you
are and that which you concentrate upon. If you are negative, you draw
in and experience negativity. If you are loving, you draw in and
experience love. You can attract to you only those qualities you
possess. So, if you want peace and harmony in your life, you must
become peaceful and harmonious.
16. The Law of Reflection.
This Law says that the traits you respond to in others, you recognize
in yourself, both positive and negative. It has four primary
manifestations:
1. That which you admire in others, you recognize as existing within
yourself;
2. That which you resist and react to strongly in others is sure to be
found within yourself;
3. That which you resist and react to in others is something which you
are afraid exists within you; and,
4. That which you resist in yourself, you will dislike in others.
In other words, you have chosen to incarnate upon the manifest plane to
learn to rise above the effect of fear. Those fears will always be
reflected in your reactions to others. Thus your goals are very obvious
once you recognize how to perceive them. As you let go of the fear, you
automatically open to expressing more unconditional love.
17. The Law of Unconditional
Love. The expression of unconditional love
will eventually result in harmony. Unconditional love is not romantic
love. It is the acceptance of others as they are without judgment or
expectations. It is total acceptance of others without attempting to
change them, except by our own positive example. The Law of
Unconditional love says, "If you go out of your way to express
unconditional love, you automatically rise above fear, and, as you
transcend your fears, you automatically open to the expression of
unconditional love.
18. The Law of Magnetic
Affinities. By Astrologically choosing the
time and place of your birth, you determine the nature or the effects
you will experience in your life. On the other side, before we are
born, we make decisions about the lifetime we will be entering into.
You chose your parents, other souls to interact with you, and the
Astrological configurations of your birth which determine your
character, personality, abilities, restrictions, and timing for
strengths and weaknesses. If all of this seems too complicated to be
real, be aware that you are only using five to ten percent of the
capacity of your brain. And the brain-mind researchers say the human
brain has 200,000 times the capacity of the greatest computer ever
built. Such calculations as I've just described would be no problem for
such a computer.
19. The Law of Abundance.
You have within yourself everything required to make your earthly
incarnation a paradise if you choose to accept that which is your
divine birth-right. We live in a Universe of abundance, although the
majority of those populating our planet appear to view it as a Universe
of scarcity.
20. The Law of Divine Order.
If you seek to understand the Law of Divine Order, study the natural
balance of nature, for it works very much the same way. Everything is
as it should be, although mankind (our energy gestalt) is far from
experiencing its potential of total harmony. There are no accidents.
Your energy, translated into thoughts, words, emotions, and deeds,
causes all your experiences. This assures that you always have the
learning opportunities you require to resolve your Karma, and, as with
you, the collective thoughts, words, emotions, and deeds of mankind
create the environment for us all. If enough souls focus their energy
upon peace, we will have peace. If the majority of souls are filled
with anger, we may all have to experience war. We are all one, and like
the many sub-personalities within you, the dominant traits of mankind
(the entire gestalt) will emerge to resolve our group Karma.
At this moment, a born-again Christian evangelist preaches fear from a
pulpit in West Virginia while a yoga instructor directs a loving group
meditation in Oregon. One is directing the energy of the gestalt into
disharmony, the other into harmony. Hopefully, at least one can cancel
out the other. If we can't attain harmony, maybe we can balance the
disharmony. Certainly, as New Ager's, we must not give up, individually
or collective. As always, fear is the problem and love is the answer.
Your resistance to what is causes your suffering. That's it. It's very
simple. There are no exemptions.
