Have you ever invoked Karma?

Question

Realizing full well that it is a natural law and process you can no more invoke or preclude. Realizing also that if you were able to invoke it, your role or the role of the people involved would come into play in a way you might not be able to control?
For instance, you might not be able to protect a beloved friend if their role in a certain situation were much more negative than you believed. Or if trouble (karmic payback) were to befall someone who deserved it, then might others in their family suffer? So, unless someone is bothering you a lot, isn't it better to ignore them (like brushing off a fly), rather than allowing yourself to get all worked up - creating a much bigger stress for yourself? Is it possible you didn't really unserstand the situation to begin with?
I am often thinking about this with respect to my husband's ex-wife, who caused a lot of damage to many of us.

Answer 1

You're born into this world with karma, karmic debt, karmic issues that you'll settle in this incarnation. It's dependent on the issues/lessons you come in with. Ultimately, how your karma plays out is based on the choices you make in this lifetime. Yes, family members can and are impacted by the karma of their loved ones, but, hey, they picked their family. It's part of their karma, as well.

Karma is the balancing force in the Universe, and it can be very swift indeed. In other cases, people suffer or are blessed for a lifetime, depending on whether or not they've managed to balance the karmic scales.

Significant people in your life, be they positive or negative, have a karmic attachment to you. I tend to be a bit mindful of this given lessons I've learned in my lifetime (Universal a$$ whippings). I believe that you absolutely do invoke much of your karma. The Universe is constantly seeking balance, and your energy definitely influences the outcomes.

Answer 2

I've heard of a spell to create "instant" Karma, but you can't really invoke it. I'm not saying one way or the other because I don't know the situation, but don't be so quick to blame the ex-wife. In a situation of divorce, both parties share the blame to some extent.

Answer 3

Your premise is based on the belief that karma exists, or is a "natural law" (it isn't, not by any scientific definition anyway.) It is therefore impossible for someone to "invoke" something if they don't believe in it, wouldn't you say? One can't "invoke" actual natural laws, either. I can DEMONSTRATE gravity, but I can't "invoke" it. If I could, I'd be a lot more self-centered than I already am--and where would that leave me karmically, I wonder? Or would that make me a stand-up karmic, on open-mic night?...

Answer 4

The explanatory note itself says "it is a natural law".Physical(Material) Law like "gravity" one can manipulate(invoke).With the help of an Ultra Cetrifuge ,one can create 100,000G("G" is gravity).But Karma is an Abstract concept.So there is no question of "Invoking" or "evoking".There is a french adage:-"Ke Sera Sera"=whatever should happen will happen --Don't worry aout the "fruit of Karma"(Karma phalam)-Just do what do you feel is conducive to your family and large sections of humanity."Karmanyevaa Adhikaarasthe Maa Phaleshu Kathachana"

Answer 5

If I'm reading this right you seem to have talked youself round in a circle.

Karma just happens surely? Universal payback and reward for your actions.

I try to do nice things for as many people as I can (even complete strangers) and never deliberately hurt anyone because I want my children to grow up to be good people and I'm not a hypocrite so I lead by example.
I have a nice life and nothing spectacularly good happens to me but life's not a struggle. You could say that it's down to Karma I suppose, but I avoid 'bad' people and situations so you could also put it down to common sense.

Answer 6

Karma is, I believe, the second highest law. But I don't worry about it, because Grace is the highest Law. I prefer to live under that.

Answer 7

I talk to myself all the time so when I pray to God I don't think I'm talking to myself or to thin air.

Answer 8

everything that you do you get some kind of reaction for (be it good or bad)

Answer 9

You cannot evok Karma....
