Looking through your Karmic Lens Can You see the “Truth”? Can you “see” the truth? Is your ability to perceive accurate and clear? Can you see what is going on in the world? When I was going through several major karmic lessons several decades ago, I thought, at the time, that I could understand what I was seeing. I was pretty confident that I knew the “truth” of it all. I have (spiritually) grown since then. Who I thought the “villain(s)” were, were actually my teachers. My angels in some cases.

If there was a measuring stick for our emotional demeanor, a lot of us might find ourselves coming up short. I know I would have, had I been able to measure my emotional skills before the universe cracked me open. The thing was, the most prominent emotional struggles I was having were completely off my radar. They were totally dominating my life, and I had no idea what so ever that I had such emotional problems. If I only had a measuring stick, then I could have discerned that, before the universe…
