Karma & human connections

Human nature evolves at its own pace. Each of us interacts knowingly and unknowingly with other people. Our relationship choices are tied to energy. For every action, an opposite reaction balances it out. Lives are affected. You don't always anticipate where, when or how your life will change. However, intentions, honesty and dishonesty will come back to affect you.

The logic of karma appears far beyond general human capacity. We would need to grasp relationships among people in past and present that include individuals during past lives long ago. We each nurture our own karma, and are born in a certain place at a certain time. To a degree then, we also participate in local, national, international and collective karmas. You may ask yourself how you can begin to work in harmony with karma and grasp it for desirable ends:

1) Believe that justice and harmony are inherent.  Nature and other forces act to restore disturbed equilibrium. Assume everyone will reap the quality of experience that belongs to him/ her. This touches on relationships,and how you treat people, regardless of how they treat you. Revenge or harbouring hard feelings isn't helpful. It's not up to you to even a perceived score. Laws of nature are in charge.

2) Rejoice at opportunities to learn valued lessons. Nurture compassion and take steps to be of silent help to those around you in greater need. You can learn from other people and how they adapt to their lives. As you genuinely encourage others, you also encourage and assist yourself to grow. We can all discover the hardest passages of life reveal exactly what we yearn to know.

3) Boost confidence in other people. How do we know that the terrible suffering, which may in a sense be worse for the bystander than for the one going through it, is not the very karma that the soul deeply desires? You can never be sure. Support people as they learn to handle challenges.  Become concerned with what people can do. Energize their will and creative talent to help bring forth whatever potential they have. This can reflect back in good conscience.

4) Judge not that ye be not judged. All of us weave the elements of our soul. Our choices are connected to everyone everywhere. We intuit connections to whatever we experience of joy or pain. To whom do you relate? Do they become mentors? friends? inspiations? Learning not to judge the situations of others is an intrinsic part of our destiny. Its a question of discipline, empathy, compassion and love.

5)Each emotion and action acts like a mirror. You can decide to be selfish or generous, happy or sad. You can forgive or hold grudges. As you express emotions toward and about people, these emotions will reverberrate. Do you regularly act for your own benefits? for the benefit of family, friends, strangers or a community? Do you cheat people? If so, this is like cheating yourself. Every decision sets in motion a series of consequences, which unfold their effects on us, on other people and on our surroundings. We all get a taste of our own medicine. This helps draw attention to the kind of person we truly are and which lessons we have yet to learn.

Get focused

The job or career you feel would be best for you at a given time may differ from what you're actually doing.  Its helpful to view your day-to-day activities as opportunities for transition and change.  You can get more focused on what you would really like to do.  Consider these tips:

1) When will you get organized?  No time like the present to get yourself in gear.  It may require some time to sift though your thoughts and figure out what you like and dislike about what you're doing now.  Remind yourself each thing you do is preparing you for other things.  It's up to you to determine and shape what the new things will be.  Consulting a coach will help you probe yourself and get you planning.

2) Would you prefer to work for yourself or not?  Different personalities would be compatible with different work environments.  As you learn to assess your strengths and weaknesses, it will become more apparent whether you believe you have the skills and inclination toward particular work environments.  Entrepreneurs require different skills than employees or investors.  Maybe you sense you would are drawn to multiple roles?  Self-reflection and focused discussions will keep you on course.

3) Does shift work appeal? In this context, you would also likely consider if you prefer night shifts, day shifts or perhaps some combination.  In some work environments, you would have the choice.  Are you a night owl? Are you more energetic in the morning? Your energy levels and how you react to light and darkness will influence what choices work well (or not) for you.

4) What are your skills and talents?  To identify skill sets is something that will benefit your future work choices.  Most people enjoy work more if they're doing something that appeals.  It makes sense to examine what kinds of work you have done in the past and what skills or talents have surfaced or been developed.  Some of them may be transferable to new work environments. 

5) Describe your ideal position:  Be detailed. What would you be selling or what services would you be providing? How much money would you be earning? Where would you work? For whom? What about your clients? Whom would you help? In which capacities? The more honest and precise you are, the easier it will be to uncover skills you may overlook and identify desirable qualifications you need to obtain.

Absolute elation

How do you describe a sense of absolute elation that is beyond words? Beyond the frequency of common hearing? Good question. Maybe you don't, at least not in ways that most people would understand. If all the words and experiences you know are limited to the three dimensional, and you assume or have reason to believe that more than three dimensions must exist, you can accept that and leave it or, decide to perceive the world around you and what happens very differently.

Feelings of peace and quiet envelop you. Somehow, you sense that you are not alone. What evidence do you have other than faith and intuition, that something beyond you is truly there? Would this kind of a presence help to explain certain apparent, unexplained events? Perhaps you like to think angels contribute to the most memorable and life-changing events you recall.

I think of unexpected pleasantries that trigger an overflow of positive emotions.  People arriving at 'the right place at the right time,' winning a big lottery or experiencing other positive changes in your circumstances beyond what you would've imagined possible. Consider the most extraordinary experiences you ever had that you might attribute to heavenly intervention.

For example, you may have heard of miraculous recoveries from illnesses, near escapes from car accidents and plane crashes or, a passing encounter with the person who became the partner to enrich your life. Rather than assume you happen to be where you are, that computers of competing on-line auction bidders stop just as you place your final bid, consider who or what may give you reason to make certain choices. You have free will, but you sense what you choose. You may live your life in partnership with silent forces you don't always perceive.

Opportunity is knocking

Wherever you are, ask yourself how you could open your senses wider than you already have done.  What experiences do you think about, but hesitate to get involved or follow through? What prevents you from moving forward? Opportunity is always knocking.  All you must do is find a door and decide to open it.

1) What risks are you willing to take?: You may be familiar with desirable experiences that would appeal or possibly stengthen you.  Its easy enough to make a list of things you want or people you wish to meet, but take it a step further.  Ask yourself what are you willing to sacrifice to realize these desirable experiences.  What you're willing to give up and why measures the value you sense in things.  

2) How can you tell?  You may be unconvinced that opportunities exist for you. People may try to tell you about the limits of your abilities, or why experiences you would like to have are supposedly 'out-of- reach.' You are the only person who can determine what opportuntities exist for you.  They begin inside your mind.  How desperately you hope to perceive and experience influences your faith in the future, which events will unfold, and which opportunities you will learn to create. 

3) Where is the courage?  Perceived risk may be seen as a measure of your fear.  As you evolve to sense new, enriching experiences are meant for you, the next step is to find the courage to reach out and seize them.  You have an unlimited amount of courage inside yourself.  This is as accessible as you convince yourself it is. 

4) When will you be true to yourself?  In order to feel comfortable and confident about taking risks, you would really benefit from getting-to-know yourself.  This requires the will to explore your interests and to be honest with yourself.  As you grow to accept your true passions, you will no longer perceive certain choices as being risks at all, but as necessities to stay true to yourself and to feel alive. 

7 unconscious goals

Every goal may appear justified in your views.  You can choose to experience your own sense of victory or other perceptions.  Amidst your reflections, I would encourage you to consider these fundamental ideas:

1) - Reframe the worst things that have happened to you as the best

2) - Find comfort and reassurance when you have no answers 

3) - Recognize you're never helpless 

4) - Accept that purpose exists everything that happens

5) - Focus on why you make choices not on what they are

6) - Realize Higher Forces aren't obliged to explain why you're alive

7) - Expect the unexpected in everything from feelings, emotions to events
