A little more on Karma
By: Jed McKenna Date: September 29, 2019, 12:11 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Dear Members;
Karma, in one form or another, has been a subject of virtually
all spiritual ''systems'' for a good few thousand years. Here is
an attempt to explain it from my experiences and perspective.
We, as dreamt entities, experience karma primarily to the degree
that we expect to experience it. It can also be called cause and
effect. I know it sounds strange but if you don't believe in it
you will not experience it. But cause and effect is not a simple
as they sound.
Cause and effect are what I call artifacts. I.E. left over
shadows. They are the result of us using our 3D experiential
reality limitations to interpret and understand a reality that
is far beyond three dimensions. How many dimensions? I don't
know, but I do know that Truth is very, very big... so I am
confident there are many dimensions.
I consider Karma to be a trap. Once in it (via belief) there is
only one way out. It's very similar to the indebtedness created
by a central banking system. Just as there is never enough money
to pay off the federal debt, there is not sufficient goodness to
pay off the Karmic debt. Why do you think religions spend so
much time telling us we are sinners. Believe you are and you
are. But to an infinite ''God'' that debt will never be repaid.
It's impossible because you can't be infinitely good. And, BTW,
who determines what is good and what is evil? Oh yeh, the God
who labelled you 'sinner' in the first place.
This doesn't mean that I think being bad is acceptable, it may
or may not be depending upon circumstances and perspective. It's
just better to be good and thoughtful. As dreamt characters we
are a product. Every one of us is owned by something/someone
else and the jail bars are our guilt. I strongly suggest you
forget about having some unseen, ephemeral and intangible God
forgive you, or even another person for that matter (like his
close relative). ALL YOUR GUILT IS IMAGINED and the only person
you could logically turn to for forgiveness is the creator of
that guilt ... YOU.
The question that arises is how much longer are you going to
withhold forgiveness from yourself. You can bear the burden of
quilt all you want. It doesn't effect anyone but you. It's a
nasty burden that you created and you can release, in fact, you
are the only one who can release it. Don't buy the b.s. that it
has to go through any agent or the like. You are the only one it
goes through. How do you do it. It's not that difficult. You
have been told to ask for it, so, do that. Ask yourself for
forgiveness. Go ahead, give it a shot. Nothing to lose except
unnecessary burden. If you get a no, just accept it and ask
again and again. Chose something small if you like and then
build up. It feels darn good. Of course if the yin approach of
asking doesn't work, go to the yang approach, demand it of
yourself.
Report on my desk in the morning.
Love ya, Jed.

I think a modern version of karma is "murphy's law." It's not
something I've ever bought into except to maintain conversation
to a working degree.
In my experience maya leads me to seek some form of pleasure and
whether I get it or not guilt follows. I see this in people
around me all the time whether they shouldn't have bought that
thing, spent time doing this and that, feel like wasting life,
etc. It's all variations of one highly effective pattern maya
uses. Lead with pleasure, reward with guilt, repeat.
Operating as what is is right I find that forgiveness is
inherent, just "oh it's that way. there i go thinking i know
things again." Being able to forgive is another way of saying
take your hand off the tiller. Still I find that the most
jarring thing is something simple like someone chewing too loud
and i hate it, how could that be right? Well just like anything
else just let it be right, say no thanks to the stupid story and
poof its gone. The only difficulty in forgiving is how firmly
you believe your false story

Your words are releasing something in me. Thank you.
Isn't the dream game usually going the same way?
In childhood days we get blamed for whatever reason. Feeling
guilty starts when we fail in conditions that we believe we have
to fulfill. Self-accusation begins every time we do not reach
the goal of fulfilling those conditions. And like a long
reverberation this self-accusation is more or less dominating
our life. All those trials to fulfill conditions for feeling not
guilty keeps the fraud alive, it keeps us from forgiving ourself
and instead confirms our belief that we are guilty for whatever
reason. We believe, others have to forgive us, so we are longing
for a little pride to distract from feeling guilty deep inside.
Yes, going on this way is to withhold forgiveness from myself.
So your attempt to explain turns attention to the chance that
ends this withholding.
Turning inwards and see the jail bars of guilt and see that I am
the only one who can forgive and release. There is no authority
above me to do so. What can I forgive right now? How about the
accusation of feeling afraid?

Guilt it simple... it's an attachment to an aversion. More
about that in Module Six, coming toon. Use ''blanket
forgiveness'' forgive yourself for absolutely everything. That's
the source of all lack of forgiveness, it's in you... all in
you.
Love ya, Jed.

It's in me? All in me?
That means I am not a victim, never was, never can be.
That's damned fine. It's up to me to stop being a victim of lies
I believe in. How? Forgive everything.

“When you're not feeling holy, your loneliness says that you've
sinned.”
Leonard Cohen, from “Sisters of Mercy”
I’ve been wondering how to forgive some people... thanks... it
starts with me forgiving myself for not being able to forgive
them yet. Forgiving myself for being less than perfect. This
“act” of self forgiveness seems to clear up space for maybe more
forgiveness.

Isn't T/R including a total innocence realizing? No person - no
blame.
So every feeling of blame and guilt must be a deceit, a reliable
b.s. detector. And an invitation for blank forgiveness.
