You are the Creator of Your Experience
It is all about You
There is a bit of disparity between your karma and your consciousness. Not that they are separate in content, but rather, they are separate in their experience. Both your consciousness now, the one reading this sentence, and the consciousness that was pushed into your subconscious creating a karmic propensity, are both made by the same thing, consciousness itself. In other words, your karma is your own consciousness from your past, influencing your present experience of life. What you thought in the past has brought you to this moment. This Now. Likewise, where you will end up in the future, will be decided by how you use your consciousness now.
“Whether you think you can, or cannot, you’re right.” ~ Henry Ford
There is nothing personal about the effects of karma. Karma itself has no bias or agenda. Karma is not “out to get you.” The instant you change your relationship with your karma, your experience of your own karma will change as well. When we posture or judge our experiences, we create a polarity of sorts. Whether something is “good” or “bad” is determined by the observer. You can never experience courage if there is not an experience calling your courage forth. There is no hero without a villain. The archetypes are arenas of experiences that we, as souls, choose to engage for the experiences of it. We grow our capacity to understand ourselves better by bumping up against experiences that challenge and thus shape us. All of your existing struggles are calling you to grow your sense of self.
We can get stuck, so to speak, when we get caught up in repetitive patterns, often based around a particular emotion and the corresponding mental story behind it. It is always our mind that decides whether we repeat the pattern(s) or whether we change our perspective and thus our experience of them. Our thinking minds, as a functional coherence, did not exist the day we were born. Our minds, and how they think, were programmed by our parents who taught us about words, and the meaning behind them. Taught us our values, which in turn become our measuring stick of sorts.
In other words, if you were raised on a farm, the values that might have been ingrained in you might be hard work, reliability, diligence and such. Whereas the values of the religious family might be seen as living a “righteous” life, avoiding the appearance of evil, and living according to the church teachings. These two examples are quite different, and thus the “person” they might produce would be quite different. We use our values as a measuring stick, to judge if we are living our life in accordance with their constructs. Did the cows get milked this morning? Did you attend the church services?
What are your values? If I asked you to list, perhaps, the top two or three values that you hold dear, what would they be? Take a moment and think about that.
Got your values listed? Great. How do they serve you? In other words, by holding the values that you have listed, how is your life better? There is no right or wrong answers here. But I do think it is valuable to understand how you weigh your choices and actions, based on what your values are. What new values could serve you? In other words, are there values that, perhaps, you do not have now, that could improve your life experience(s)? You are always programmable. You are never stuck. To reflect on the core aspects of yourself, like the values and traits that you currently have, and compare them to what you would prefer, allows you to tune your life for the better.
The mechanisms of life are impersonal. There are billions of people living in the same mechanisms of life as you. And every single human is a unique byproduct of their own thinking. The universe responds in like. In other words, the universe does not have particular “rules” or “consequences” just for you. The universe, as a whole, is operating on impersonal principles that are timeless.
The time you take to look within yourself, to see how you tick, can help you recognize patterns and habits you might have picked up along your journey. Which ones serve you? Which ones don’t?
You decide.
Love You!
