Our deeds still travel with us from afar, and what we have been makes us what we are. - George Eliot.

 FROM WIKIPEDIA the free encyclopedia:

The philosophical explanation of karma can differ slightly between traditions, but the general concept is basically the same. Through the law of karma, the effects of all deeds actively create past, present, and future experiences, thus making one responsible for one's own life, and the pain and joy it brings to him/her and others. The results or 'fruits' of actions are called karma-phala. In religions that incorporate reincarnation karma extends through one's present life and all past and future lives as well.

KARMA

You’ve heard of the Seven Deadly Sins?

But more deadly to the self are these character traits we might have.

Here they are: Fear, Anger, Doubt, Blame, Criticism, Judgment and Self-Pity.

To grow 'spiritually' means that we have to face the 'human' side of ourselves which means all of the above. If we say that growth is the most important thing in our lives, we are saying it is important to eliminate these seven deadly things.

We are all tested in our spiritual growth, and the test of our commitment here is any challenge that comes along, complacency never advanced anybody! If you have no commitment to that spiritual growth, then your challenge will do you no good. They are directly proportional to each other. I'll repeat that: They are directly proportional to each other.

Asking for development in your spiritual life induces challenge and change; so don’t forget this when the going seems tough! The laws of a balanced universe make sure we all induce any needs we have in order to progress, i.e. what we desire is counter-balanced by the above seven deadly traits. So we manifest bad as well as good things into our lives. Like attracts like.

But it works both ways, we can create and dissolve our own experiences this means that the bad character traits prevent the needy prayers functioning, or distort them mostly through lack of humility. Conversely when we are in harmony and have none of the above, particularly fear, all the channels are open to receive the blessings.

We none of us learn from other peoples mistakes as well as our own, do we? We need to get it into our heads that all is fair in a balanced universe, and we can then see that whatever comes is serving a purpose, and the worst thing that can happen is that we won’t like the unpleasant experience when someone is treating us worse that we would like. I have been reminded when moaning to spirit about this because I did just the same thing to another! Be assured our 'higher self' [some call it the conscience] knows what it is doing too. It is not possible for a mistake from that quarter, although ignoring it is possible as we all know! There are no accidents, mistakes or coincidences with the great universal laws, so ... 'do as you would be done by'.

Thoughts are made of energy and prayers travel on the thought ‘wave-length’. Our every thought, word, attitude, belief, feeling and memory is composed of energy. Energy precedes ‘physical matter’ It creates and attracts circumstances, people and conditions, and since like attracts like, the conditions in your life reflect the energies/prayers/thoughts you have sent out , so be careful what you pray for!

You and your whole life are a collection of energy patterns constantly attracting to yourself exact manifestations of the kinds of inner thoughts/ beliefs you have adopted. You have attracted every person and circumstance including playing the ones playing the part of ‘baddy’ in your life, or love you so inadequately that you are driven to seek a better way, a way that gradually brings you back to your destiny - closer to God.

Being free from fear makes you more able to deal with situations without nervousness or anxiety. Living without fear does not mean you are not cautious or alert, it means that you do not react with emotions, which cloud or confuse your responses.

The answer to this whole thing is this; to create the reality you really want, you must do two things:  First all the negative in your life must go, and secondly, reinforce your mental attitude to what you do need, not just want - wanting is lacking trust in God, saying “Thy will be done" and saying it with true meaning removes all ego.

This is a scientific process of removing and/or dissolving energetic patterns. Search your soul for the 'Deadly Traits', and to the degree they are gone, to that degree you will be able to manifest what you want. That balanced universe is at work again…!

Edgar Cayce is very interesting on Reincarnation - which is all about Karma, if you google his name you will find a lot of information about the man they called 'The Sleeping Prophet'...
