I really enjoyed this short article this morning.....
Article: Instant Karma by Owen Waters
Karma, in the popular view, is often perceived as the bogey
man of Eastern philosophy, as the stick that punishes you for
doing the wrong thing. In reality it is much simpler than
that, and it carries no judgmental overtone at all.
Karma is simply reflectance. Reflectance is a property of the
universe. Therefore, life reflects what you project. This
principle of reflectance or karma states that life reflects
your beliefs, emotions and actions. The stronger these are,
the more apparent it becomes that life is a mirror of
whatever you project.
Whenever you change the way you view life, the universe, just
like a mirror, reflects your new view of reality. This may not
occur instantaneously as, often, circumstances do not allow
the new reflection to immediately manifest. In this case, the
new reality is held, like a pressure within the aura of your
body's subtle magnetic field. You then walk around in life,
surrounded by this magnetic potential, your "karmic pattern,"
as it influences your circumstances to adapt into a form
where the new reality will be able to manifest and operate.
Reflectance, sooner or later, produces manifestation.
Therefore, if you don't like something in your life, the most
powerful way to change it is to discover how you have
generated that reflection. Then change your point of view -
the beliefs, viewpoints and energies that you put into your
life - so that the reflection is changed.
It's just like the law in physics: "For every action, there is
an opposite and equal reaction." This law goes much deeper
than just a law of mechanical motion. It is how the universe is
designed at all levels.
Reflectance is entirely automatic. There is no judge. No one
looms over you, threatening retribution for imaginary sins.
However, because this law of life is automatic, you have to be
the one to initiate change. It will not come to you until you
take the initiative, until you create the action so that there
can be a reaction.
If you seek more happiness from life, the mirror of life will
shine more happiness back upon you, just as soon as you
decide, within yourself, to become a happier person.
Then it will reflect your new reality.
Your power lies in how you respond to the circumstances which
have been created in your life. Circumstances, within
themselves, are inherently neutral. It is human judgment that
assigns positive and negative values to those circumstances.
It is a paradox of life that the challenges of difficult
times can produce the most happiness in the end.
Remember that if "bad" circumstances are affecting you, it is
often not because of some "bad" way that you thought or
behaved in the past, but because you planned your life so that
it would present certain challenges. How you respond to those
challenges is the whole point of the exercise. The strongest
steel is that which is quenched from great heat and the most
compassionate heart is one which has seen great suffering
in the world.
Your viewpoint is your response to the picture that life
presents, and it is totally under your control. Your viewpoint
determines what energies you will put into life and therefore
what the mirror of life will reflect back.
Life is a mirror. Smile, and it will immediately smile back at
you.
