Very good. I agree, all starts with love of our self. Can you elaborate on point number 5?

[Liara Covert]

Mark, at a basic level, karma is generally viewed as the energy effects of a given action. As you generate energetic imbalance through certain actions, universal law requires you balance that action during this lifetime. If for some reason you do not, you incarnate in another lifetime and are required to respond to what is sometimes described as 'karmic debt' to balance the energy. As you evolve to understand this example of cause and effect, you begin to grasp the concept of karmic release. This becomes possible as you take full responsibility for all your actions and experiences. Many people are conditioned to cling to karma or underlying reasons for it because they are unaware of the opportunity for consciousness shifts. The release of karma implies you understand unconditional love, self-acceptance and forgiveness through experience. Heightened awareness means you realize you are no longer bound by karma. This explains why chakras are invited to lift. To believe and then know karma is dissolved is part of the process of retraining the mind. To live at the heart centre, at that mental place of pure love, is to realize you are shifting from former patterns of energy. You free self to give and receive new vibrations. Some people sense karma is pressure from outside to accept all you are. Divine law constantly speaks to us all.

Hi Liara,

You're right, every step is a milestone and we don't realize that because we are focused on what it took to get there. It only takes realization that we are already there. Life is a series of redefining instances of wisdom.

Alexys, many people focus on where they are not not whether it is desirable or even necessary to shift consciousness. Not everyone is aware they are living, speaking or being their core truth without effort. The energy you are aligned with reveals much about the state of your awareness. Pay attention and expand deliberately.

Hi Liara .. I can relate to point 2 at the moment - "See awakening to self-worth as part of a collective shift".


Having read your karma explanation .. I'm going to say .. that it's feeling a space of (bubble) of freedom to move on, each tiny move forward in our lives, which we can't stop .. because it's time ..

I feel that now .. having had a release from all the negative up at the Home .. it's been eighteen months of negative control by the Deputy Manager, who now has left .. bliss - huge weight off

I now have a clear mind, at least I can concentrate on my mother, and my uncle and myself and give all three my full time .. rather than a large chunk dealing with a very difficult set of circumstances ..

So life is a-changing & I expect to be able to take some of your teachings, guidances on board and see things differently ..

Thanks - have a good weekend

Combining the wisdom in this post with the one written on unconditional love, I've found that when I love myself unconditionally (to the best of my ability), bad habits & addictions release me. It's less that I have to release them, if that makes any sense!

Hi Liara,
Good reminders. My experience is consistent with your points. On 5, my experience of karma is not so much "pay back" or external pressure, but it's entirely internal. Karmic actions arise from samskara, or all that we have internalized. Tolle calls this the pain-body; ancient sanskrit literature calls is samskara; Buddha called it Sankhara. It is our internal environment.

Very nice pointers. Thanks.

Hilary, I heard an intriguing story you and others would appreciate. At a recent conference, audience members were asked to share what they felt was the most stressful aspects in their own lives. The audience voted to agree on the most stressful life among them. This man had recently lost a 3.5 million dollar business, had his house and cars repossessed, and his personal life was in shambles. As a meaningful exercise, he was invited to recognize the greatest advantages in all of his apparent challenges. Upon deeper reflection, he realized he had unconsciously brought on a series of events to enabled him to unburden his life from what was not working so he could realign and refocus from soul level. He regards his own process as a way the mind invited him to loosen his grip on a perceived reality. Instability is experienced as part of inner change. To sense blessings brings much needed transformation.

Megan, what you describe is a process of learning how to surrender to the power of love. Every human being is undergoing this process. All experience is a teacher. What you judge as a "bad" habit is part of the process of learning how not to judge. Unconditional love is within you and you need only choose to take this perspective.

Kaushik, your insights on karma enrich this dialogue. To people aligned with Eastern traditions, karma is often perceived as an internal reason for pain and suffering as well as a timeless gift. Eckhart Tolle does a masterful job explaining the pain-body concept. He also reminds people that pain weakens a person's willingness or, distracts the mind from recognizing reason to revise misplaced beliefs.
