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. The biggest villains were some of my biggest soul contracts for this lifetime. I am so very grateful for those villains. “If you can cultivate the right attitude, your enemies are your best spiritual teachers because their presence provides you with the opportunity to enhance and develop tolerance, patience and understanding.” ~ Dalai Lama Who are your villain(s)? What…

It gets easier, once you start doing the work. Coming out of the Dark. What’s this “Dark” I speak of? It’s your karma. Karma, as a human experience, is not personal. At all. All of your suffering and challenges are not personal. There are billions of people going through the same types of experiences. Sure, yours are unique because your own karmic accumulation is unique. Impersonal and yet unique. Karma itself is pretty cool. I would even say karma is graceful and elegant, in that whatever you reject or posture with, is stored in your subconscious. Like a running total of sorts. What is actually your karma, was decided by … you. Maybe not consciously in the moment. But it was you that determined what your karmic composition would be. Just as I, as a child, instilled an avoidance behavior of feeling my anger. Everything I was avoiding was pushed,…

Yes, You can. No, You can’t. You decide it all. There is a long game of sorts. Where what is happening on any particular day doesn’t matter much. Sure, you can completely transform your life in a single day. That’s not what I am talking about. I guess you could call it a momentum of sorts. A karmic momentum. This is where we are experiencing a fairly consistent life, day in and day out. When we think about the “quantum” mirror, where the universe is just reflecting ourselves back to us, it can seem like nothing is changing much. I mean, if you stand in front of a mirror, your reflection “mirrors” you. If you don’t change, your reflection doesn’t change either. If we want to experience a different kind of life, it would serve us well to change who we are, energetically. Many spiritual teachers use affirmations and vision…

Are you on the Right side of Wrong? Where has your past taken you? It can seem like we have gone through the proverbial ringer. Many of us have had a “villain” in our life. Someone who has seemingly had a quest to give us grief. It really is/was personal … or is/was it? The “villain” is perhaps one who has taken on a huge amount of karma. Perhaps your own “personal” villain(s) have much more karma in their psyche than you do. I would not be surprised if you all shared your journey with me, that you would tell me of some pretty terrible trainwrecks in your lives. I know I have had my share. Even though I have been consciously on my spiritual journey for over 25 years, I have had some pretty intense events in my life, in just the past few years. My attitude towards these…
