.......................v

Answer 2

Namaste. All actions have reactions. As long as we are alive in this phisycal world we cannot possibly avoid actions. From thinking, breating to having a certain attitude, everything that we do or not do is a generator of karma. The only choice we have while alive is to generate negative or positive karma. In some situations not doing something can generate a bad karma. The generator of positive karma is nihaswarat (selfless) action.

Answer 3

Karmas or 'Deeds' are essentially related with the 'human birth' because humans have been endowed with the faculty of intellect through which they can distinguish between the 'right and the wrong' good and the evil. Deeds of each individual is recorded in their souls and are carried forward over various lifetimes and births. Man is the creator of his own destiny through his 'Karma' or deeds. The good or bad result of 'Karma' is manifested in the kind of birth that a human being attains and the kind of life he leads. But at the end of it all the main purpose of a human being is to liberate himself from this eternal Karmic cycle of birth-life-death-rebirth. So the 'Karmas' originate in 'human birth'.

Answer 4

Sorry, going to have to run against the tide with this one, folks. Karma has been an incredibly useful, but necessarily hypothetical, concept for thousands Earth years. That's over now, if you choose for it to be so.

It was, in any event, merely a thought tool to explain the simple concept of :

"There's no such thing as a free lunch !"

So ancient Teachers of Wisdom devised this way of having a kind of 'Cosmic Balance Sheet', on which one could record the 'gold stars' and the 'black stars' that one incurred throughout the course of each manifestation.

Then they notched it up a step, rather like some religions cooked up a 'Devil' and a 'Hell' with which to impress on the people that just because you 'die', it doesn't end there ! Bummer eh ?

Thus Karma is just a way of keeping count, in exactly the same way that the children's game of Snakes and Ladders, derived from a Tantric representation of the 'score-board' of life.

Now we are leaving an old energy structure behind and moving into a new one, and as we do this we will have to drop some of the 'old energy' ways of seeing things. And, in the same vein, develop 'new energy' ways.

'Karma' is 'old energy', and to quit that system all one has to 'do' now is declare "I am finished with Karma", but of course, for this 'incantation' to 'work', as with every single aspect of Life, you have to believe it with every shred of your 'Beingness'. :-)))

Or not ?

Answer 5

Karma literally means "deed or act," but more broadly describes the principle of cause and effect. Simply stated, karma is the law of action and reaction which governs consciousness. In physics-the study of energy and matter-Sir Isaac Newton postulated that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Push against a wall. Its material is molecularly pushing back with a force exactly equal to yours. In metaphysics, karma is the law that states that every mental, emotional and physical act, no matter how insignificant, is projected out into the psychic mind substance and eventually returns to the individual with equal impact.

The akashic memory in our higher chakras faithfully records the soul's impressions during its series of earthly lives, and in the astral/mental worlds in-between earth existences. Ancient yogis, in psychically studying the time line of cause/effect, assigned three categories to karma. The first is sanchita, the sum total of past karma yet to be resolved. The second category is prarabdha, that portion of sanchita karma being experienced in the present life. Kriyamana, the third type, is karma you are presently creating. However, it must be understood that your past negative karma can be altered into a smoother, easier state through the loving, heart-chakra nature, through dharma and sadhana. That is the key of karmic wisdom. Live religiously well and you will create positive karma for the future and soften negative karma of the past.

Truths and Myths About Karma

Karma operates not only individually, but also in ever-enlarging circles of group karma where we participate in the sum karma of multiple souls. This includes family, community, nation, race and religion, even planetary group karma. So if we, individually or collectively, unconditionally love and give, we will be loved and given to. The individuals or groups who act soulfully or maliciously toward us are the vehicle of our own karmic creation. The people who manifest your karma are also living through past karma and simultaneously creating future karma. For example, if their karmic pattern did not include miserliness, they would not be involved in your karma of selfishness. Another person may express some generosity toward you, fulfilling the gifting karma of your past experience. Imagine how intricately interconnected all the cycles of karma are for our planet's life forms.

Answer 6

Karmas started when the desires of survival arises.
It starts when the first life evolved in our earth.

Answer 7

It is my contention that karma is primarily shame-based.

Cause and effect are never separated. Imagine consciousness developing slowly up through the chain of evolving lifeforms and creatures until the complexity of our massive human brain offers the capacity for self-referential awareness.

As human children, we still retain our primal reptilian survival brain and old mammalian emotional brain through which our principle imprinting occurs (holographically) during early development. The thinking brain is not fully evolved until around age 25 and by then the defensive ego (survival beliefs) has long been fully formed. It is also in early adulthood when our beliefs about self and others are replicated and reinforced through self-generated fields that attract/cause various versions of the original holograhic imprint - experiences ranging from supported, respected and valued, to worthless and discardable. Because our defensive belief system (sense of identity) is compiled/programmed during the early stages of development and the ego is born out of surviving those limiting 3D experiences. Unless we are able to transcend this program (even the best is always limiting) we will be blocked from experiencing 'full aliveness.'

But, each of us bring a particular level of conscious awareness with us into each lifetime and as we psychological progress the experiences we attract (karma) become less debilitating EXCEPT ones that are shame based - electrochemistry at work. Shame (sin) - a sense of unfixableness - is experienced as anxiety and is glued into consciousness through a circular process. Our human heart generates an electromagnetic field that is impacted by any internalized/repressed anxiety. In turn our brain responds to our self-generated EM field with EC processes (synapses), allowing fields of neurons to process the input - to think about survival strategies. Thus our thought system and sense of identity develops around the experience/belief related to shame.

We know already that people gifted with interpersonal intelligence/skills have an extreme degree of body awareness (heartbeat, etc.) and that they are picking up signals from others not only through their sensory apparatus, but from their own and the other's field. The body is generating a response before the thinking kicks in.

Generally this is how the ego develops. But, it offers the means of its own undoing, i.e. the end of karma.

Answer 8

Karma is the sum of all that an individual has done.

Answer 9

Answer 10

The Law of Karma is movement between polarities, it is a law, force that is externally maintaining balance throughout the substance and nature between interaction of integral parts. Karma is perceived as debt by many, but karma is generally a law that maintains and initiates balance, cosmic balance. We use Karma, this law to gain internal balance but the utilization of this force between substances. As everything returns to its source and each things done often initiates its polarity, as a means of balance to be maintained.

A individual is compelled by force, by reason of what they are apart of, if a body cuts itself it will bleed. Like a body maintaining perfect symmetry between organs, this force/or law maintains symmetry, as even the chaos that seems apparent is ordered. We engage this law as a means for development, since all reaction is a result of the defect in us, the fruits of a divided mind/tree, karma invokes the polarity of the in order to rectify the defect within you (you become what you hate). It is like a gravitational force, as all things returns to its source for its sources benefit. Some of what I am referring to can be called the pendulum effect of karmatic conditions.When you are born into life, your whole condition of experience could be called the body of karma. The old mystics referred to it as a prison that is the result of your trails. It becomes the conditions of the laws of your birth.

The Law of Karma is forcing you to face and conqueror yourself, it pulls you into that element. The Active force is always reflected back upon itself by the reflective/passive force. You must find a neutralizing state where you transcends the limitation of division and become undivided within. Karma brings forth development, all is ultimately good because all causes movement that inspires some development of some capacity. All of the laws serve as forces which are to move creation or to its omega of acquaintance, fullness from the defect that reigns even now. Again karma is used for development (it causes movement), and not all karma is bad karma.

And not all karma comes from action (although this could be a sort of action, since the choice is there), it can also come from complacency, where you are involved but do nothing, don't do when it is in your capacity to. Like for instance, Hitler couldve been stopped much sooner, but people backed the treaty which decreed "peace in our time" and before then they were completely complacent. We all know what happened after that, such people could find themselves in the element they failed to protect. Or for instance those who don't do the best with their freedoms could find themselves in conditions with no freedoms. This is all necessary to work on the defects that exist within mind, and often to develop our baser earthly consciousness. There is the right side of the law though, those who Walk in the way, are ever reaping in the summer and work on their natures not be doing contrary to what they know, but living their knowledge and helping others, by doing so those they help become catalyst to engage parts of themselves, so this is work through relationships by helping them overcome what is in you.

- Shalom.

Answer 11

From our own deeds (good or bad). We are created ignorant, no knowledge, we are born as human beings and we have to face all the difficulties in life to progress spiritually and learn, so that we are not ignorant anymore. During the journey, we build up good and bad karma.

Peace!
