Goddyssey, I have often struggled with the same thing!!!! People I know personally are alway prospering, getting everything and everyone the desire. They go on lavish shopping sprees, etc, but are the most selfish and wicked people you ever could imagine. Yet, the warm, giving and humble ones are the ones who are struggling day in and day out, living hand to mouth. WHY IS THAT??Thats a good ass question. Does karma really exist? Does it? I have sit back and literally watched people steal from a company and that same company trun aroud and give them a bonus check......lol. Im like WTH?? Then I have seen others give thier last morsel of money, food, etc and they get NOTHING. I also see people (esp ladies) give their heart to someone and treat them like gold, but the man would rather be with the lady whom treats him like shit.(thinks it sexy to be distant and aloof) Im so confused, dont know what to think about karma.
Trust me I feel you. We're on the same page on this one: Confusion! LOL
I think in the examples that you and I listed, we're seeing the law of attraction played out. The person that's so giving but never receives anything may not be open to receive. Maybe they're giving out of a lack mentality. Or that religious bs: it is better to giveth than receiveth.
Ya know? And the people who treat others like crap yet live great lives probably love themselves above all others, explaining their treatment of others, and the universe's treatment of them. I know this chick that will steal stores blind! But would never ever have anything stolen from her. Not even a parking spot. LOL She left her front door wide the hell open one day and came back to a full house! And she lives in Trinidad! (That's a relatively rough neighborhood in DC). Man this karma thing just ain't making sense to me.
I think the modern day understanding of Karma is different then what it meant in the older hindu systems, I think it really only exists in your mind, and or instituted by the soul, or higher self for you to learn certain things. Anyone who cultivates their spirituality, and gets the fuckin point of the messages shouldnt have an issue with some kind of "karma". I personally don't really think it exists, especially how people describe it nowadays.
So if it exists only in our minds, isn't this the law of attraction playing out?
This is the conclusion I'm leaning toward lately. I always took karma for granted, like oh of course it exists. But when I really began to evaluate it in real life situations, it doesn't seem to add up.
These people who may be living lavish lives with wealth accumulated underhandedly, are they really enjoying it? They are affilicted like those they hurt, they can't hide from it in expensive eateries , or in remote estates. They attempt to shield themselves from the karma with materials but it gets them no less. They souled out for a few trinkets, when I see these "global elites" like the turners, rockerfellers and others. I don't see happy, life loving people. I see misery. Because they help cause misery, it will always find them. They may still be breathing, but their souls died with the people they helped to kill and exploit.
'Souled out'...I like that. You bring up some good points, and I'm wondering if maybe we're just not seeing them reaping what they sow. But is it even possible for them to do so? In comparison to the effect they've had on many many other's lives, how in the world would they 'repay' that?
No do not believe that what goes around. If I kill someone, it does not mean that I will be killed. Now if I put out the energy of victimization and hatred then maybe I will attract some violent circumstances unto me but it has to do with what is going on in my inner world rather it being what goes around come. That is not a law but rather a limiting belief. Whatever comes into your life has to do with what going in your inner world. You attract what you are not what you want.
I personally do not believe in the notion of right and wrong or victimization when I hear some people discuss karma it is usually from this angle. We create our lives so our past events do not have to affect our futures. Just my take
This sounds like the law of attraction to me. Every time I ask someone to explain karma to me they end up going over the law of attraction and calling it karma. True if there is no right or wrong, there would be no 'repercussions' to 'suffer' for one's actions. I swear if I could drop this notion of right, wrong, and karma, life would make a lot more sense to me. There would be no explanation needed for what is going on today. It just is.
Hmmm this is a good topic! I've had questions in the back of my head, but like mentioned up top, I don't think it's exact in the sense of me giving so i'll get and me taking a life so i'm going to receive this.
I have so many thoughts and vibrations on this but i'm not finding how to spill it. I'll be back.
It must be! LOL
Looking forward to your 'spill'. lol
