From the Inside Out
Karma is always an inside job
Have you ever learned something that totally changed how you experience your life? Or perhaps how you approach your “problems” or “lessons?”
I am learning just how fortunate I was when my life changed forever. It took me several decades to pick it apart. Picking apart what had happened when my life changed so much. The unraveling of myself, really. I mean, I am still finding a deeper understanding of what that change was that I went through. I have shared many times how the unexpected sudden release of emotions from my psyche was a big turning point in my life.
There is no way I would have found it on my own. Not at the level that I did. I never would have known just how much of my life was on a sort of autopilot. Where my ego/mind never would have discovered just how much of my day-to-day life was on automatic. That is to say, that what I was carrying around with me, my unresolved emotions, was a major factor in how I was experiencing my life. That before that event, I was quite content in my ignorance as to just how much our subconscious “baggage” dictates how we experience our life. Once we become aware and conscious of this, we can heal many lifetimes of our past in just this one lifetime.
Fast forward to today. This day.
If I were to describe how my life is different, after years of scrubbing my psyche, I would be lost for words. I guess I could say there are tiers or octaves, of sorts, that we occupy with our consciousness. Each tier or octave has a different round of lessons to be learned. And a different level of awareness. A different point of view as well. From the higher octaves, all suffering from the lower octaves seem obvious, as we cannot occupy the higher octaves, in an ongoing way, until we learn the lessons from the next lower level.
I want to be crystal clear. No one octave is “better” than another. Not at all. The soul that is experiencing all manner of suffering, perhaps the homeless vet panhandling on the corner, loaded up with PTSD, perhaps an addiction or three, and barely able to make it through the day, is taking a master class. The “further” we are from our connection to Source, the greater the lessons to be learned. The more of a master class we are taking. Even the villain itself has strayed so far away from their connection to Source, that their entire life is measured by the world outside of them.
If we have only ventured out of “Heaven” one step, then the “journey back home” is just one step. Yet, over many, many lifetimes, we have loaded up our psyche with all manner of karma. Then the journey home is equally a journey of its own. Our awareness of the mechanics of karma can make a big difference in how we see our journey back home. Back to the “Heaven within us.” Back to (unconditional) Love.
But if we can become aware of the idea that all of our karma is something that resides within us now, then we can become more aware of just what it is and how it affects us. Thus too, we can learn how to harvest, or free ourselves, from the unresolved karmic stigmas from our past. If we are unaware of our karma, and we are not tending to it, it might take us as many lifetimes to clear our karma out of ourselves as it took to put it there in the first place.
You could certainly think of our karma as something that is loading ourselves down, metaphorically. And thus the journey to enLIGHTenment would be to lighten our load. To become LIGHTer. By releasing our karma out of us.
To see the bigger picture of just how impersonal the mechanics of karma really is, is to lighten the load you carry. In other words, when you can see that your soul chose to, over many many lifetimes, load itself up with karma, and then to make the journey back home, is really a timeless story that billions of souls take on all the time. Whatever your karma is now, is just a stepping stone your soul chose to experience. You are right where you need to be. Keep in mind, you are a timeless soul having a temporal human experience.
