The Twists and Turns of Karma

Karma (cause and effect) can have many twist and turns and for many reasons. I'll explain what I mean. 

When I was a teenager, I told a neighbor that she had nice things. She said, that depends on what one calls nice. She promptly walked over and lifted up the end of a cloth, that draped her end table, and there sat an orange crate, which she had made to look beautiful with a tablecloth and a few pictures. 

I was stunned but this was a strong lesson that taught me not to assume or be envious of another's belongings. There are things not seen due to being deliberately hidden. 

Years later, I find myself living in a moderate size home that I worked a long time to have. Many things I have aren't as some may think. Some possessions are due to gifts or have been handed down to me. Some things are very old because I try to take care of what I own. Yet, there may be those that will be envious or resent what I have, not knowing my story. This has always bothered me, because I've never felt envious or resentful to those that live in mansions, or who had more than me, any more then I wanted anyone who had less then me to feel this way about me. I don't know their karmic path anymore than any one would know mine.

In time, I began to realize that I don't live in a lower circumstance because my past karma. This life was supposed to be a peaceful existence due to my original soul paying it's dues out there in the universe. I was now allowed to move on, but realized there could still be those who would be angry or jealous and not allow it. Many times this occurred, but I kept pushing forward to have my peaceful existence even under some extreme situations. I concentrated my energies on getting ahead and not wasting them on things I could not control. My path had its difficulties but I just thought I was still paying my dues. I would just shrug my shoulders and move on throughout the pain and heartache. I constantly reminded myself that this is all part of life and resentment wasn't going to be my path. 

I would also, humorously, tell myself that maybe more of me "paying my dues" will allow me a mansion one day, if I wanted it. Who knows, maybe the universe will have those that abuse their privileges of mansion living, revert back to lower circumstances living. If that's the case, should I feel upset that someone has less than me? Yes, it's interesting about people's circumstances and why they're caused ... those twist and turns of karmic flow.

After much reflection, it seems to me that my moderate home is the balance I wanted and needed to be able to live with myself; which is more important. I may have paid my dues and still paying them, but I think I know when to be satisfied and that reaching for the stars, all the time,  may not have the results I truly need for my peace of mind.

Similar to the peace of mind I had as a child. Back then, I had a lot of love but not much material possessions. I didn't know that I had "nothing," because I felt I had all I needed to truly survive. I was happy. I was content. I had the love and care of two wonderful parents that taught us to share and be kind to one another. I learned to appreciate what I had and not begrudge another for what they had. Maybe these people, as I, had already paid their dues and will continue to do so throughout their karmic soul journey. 

However, the main thing I wanted to share with this blog is that greed, envy or jealousy can occur in any station in life, not just in the wealthy. I know because, sadly, I see and read about it nearly every day. Don't covet your neighbors' goods, whatever that may be. You don't know what they did to deserve what they have, including what dues they may have paid in a past life or are still paying. 

Besides, it's not good karma. 

Be more mindful of your twist and turns. 

Eternal Victim-Victimizer

I've been meditating on this situation regarding those who become a victimizer after being a victim themselves. It's always baffled me why this occurs, considering everything, but I believe I may have discovered a reason. 

Metaphysical people talk about soul connections when it comes to love but this particular situation would be one created out of hate. Many things can create the reason for hate, just as it can love.

For instance, when a victimizer, after justly paying for its misdeed, isn't allowed atonement, isn't allowed to heal, neither will its victim heal. I believe, it's because their emotional memories are eternally connected due to the misdeed; just as our emotional memories are eternally connected due to loving situations.

Many times, it is the deep, painful memories that can cause more damage to prevent healing. Hurt people want to hurt people in order to have others feel their pain. Judgement? Karma? Yet, many times we may, unknowingly, contribute to it.  Constantly and/or publically berating the victimizer, reiterating the crime, may keep the victimizer from healing. If the victim survived, it may also pick at their painful wound (memories), or reopen the wound, to also have the victim continually suffer and not heal, possibly weakening them, mentally, in the process. Both victimizer and victim are in an emotional connection turmoil.

I believe this emotional connection eventually contributes towards turning a victim into a victimizer, depending on the strength of their mind and soul. Being constantly and emotionally connected to a diseased mind may easily challenge another's mind if it's unaware.

Maybe it's folly on my part to think we can make a change, maybe we never will and will keep this scenario going on for all eternity. Hopefully, we can learn to break this connection by utilizing higher awareness. At least, more awareness than we've been using. I'm not suggesting trusting someone where it's not earned, liking someone when it's difficult, not condoning any crimes, or not seeking retribution, but utilizing more compassion and understanding to break this control over us all ... since, as we've been told, we're all universally connected.

I once had a student who asked me why we have right and wrong. I told him that we created these words to describe emotions within us. I suggested that since we created this scenario, we should learn to be wise enough to uncreate it, but that may take a higher knowing then we currently have. This was around twenty-five years ago and, it seems, we still haven't gotten it.

So you see, we have to know about this unseen realm, along with knowing how strong these dark emotional attachments can be. The vendetta that can be created due to our lack of understanding and compassion can be and has been detrimental.

How can we combat this if we don't raise our awareness?

If we don't, how can there ever be healing from this eternal circle of victim-victimizier?

Crucify Him!

Many times, while reading hateful Facebook comments, condemning another or others, I get this mental image of people yelling out "crucify him." Just as we know from when Mark (15:13) told us what the angry crowd said about Jesus: And they cried out again, Crucify him.

It's the typical angry mob mentality of self-righteous indignation, as if they are above anything similar or have a flawless character. They're so fast at pointing a finger without knowing, or remembering, that "someone" knows how to see into their soul ... can see their truth within.

The impression I get is that they know they've sinned but they feel their sin is less than another's. When they point a finger at another's, it's their way of saying that someone else is a bigger sinner and now people will stop looking at my sin.

Their hurt says: no one understood my path, so I'm not going to understand theirs. So, they yell in chorus, crucify him! However, what they are really saying is, if you do this, it will take the heat off of me. I want to redirect the hate and anger from my sins onto another.  

Therein lies the path of hypocrisy.

Therein lies the path of hurtful repetition throughout history.

Therein lies the negativity, which illicits more negativity and not healing.

When will we ever learn to stop crucifying another in order to justify our sins?

The Ouija Board and Possession?

I originally wrote this blog on November 13, 2013 called "Ouija Board My Butt!!"and then a link problem had me redoing it on February 10, 2014. Today I discovered the link was hijacked, so I deleted that one. Maybe it's a sore subject with some people who like to throw their weight around. I decided to rename it and share it again because I feel it's important for people to know what I was taught about it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The reason I wanted to write this blog was to discuss something that one of my first guides told me about many years ago and I still hear it today. My guidance just scratch their spiritual heads in amazement of the things we keep falling victim to and for absurd reasons.

I won't go into a long description of the Ouija Board. You can find out more on Wikipedia. Don't worry, it won't bite you.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ouija

This is some of what has been shared with me over the years: 'The Ouija Board is no more powerful then we allow it. This "game" is just a means of mental communicating (telepathy) and is a process to help one concentrate and hear. Yet, we continually give power away to it and other "tools" for awareness instead of understanding the real power of self. What next, are you going to say that learning to meditate is evil too?"

People are told to shy away from things like this in order to keep them controlled, in order to prevent them from learning, and in order to place fear in them. We can have spirit possession or mind power attacks without even seeing a "talking board" or knowing anything about spirits, mind power or telekinetic attacks ... much less literature, belief systems or movie makers telling us so.

It can happen to anyone at anytime, including infants and children ... not just adults. Study history and you will understand this. So, let's be realistic about who is trying to control whom and why that could be.

We believe what we want to believe and we are controlled by those beliefs ... even if it's a fanciful imagination. 

Yet, what I find amazing is that I see people who are into mind communication negating things of this nature, as well as ridiculing it, and allowing people to fear it too.

Are you kidding me? Really?

Why would they do this? Unless they don't know their worth enough and allow people to fear a tool to help them learn mind communication. Are they actually trying to have people stay away from learning so they can be worshipped instead? It made no sense to me, at all, when I started seeing this. Maybe that's why guidance asked me to write about it. They were saying: enough is enough!

Besides, where was a tool of this nature when all the past prophets were able to communicate to the universe? Did they all have talking boards or used a planchette for automatic writing? Think about it! 

Teachers and books are tools too, should we fear them as well? Of course, I will state that not all teachers, or books, are good ... but that is my opinion.

The point is that anyone at anytime can have an attack for any reason ... even in the real (physical) world. They can draw in good or bad ... unless we all believe that all these spiritual beings/messengers are all unholy demons out there. Why would we believe that? Would that make God a demon then? Really?

Also, why would we believe that any tool to help us develop our mind is evil? Are we going to go back to burning books, or people, just because they are doing things to help bring awareness that is beyond our archaic thinking?

Yes, we can have stuff happen but let's think things through, if at all possible. How would you know if you weren't allowed to think, if you are caught up in a flow of false doctrine in order to control your thinking so you can be dumb and worship those who you feel are smarter?

I'm not suggesting that anyone go it alone. They should be taught by a qualified teacher in anything they want to do ... safety in numbers. That would be, based on my life's lessons, like walking down a deserted looking street and being mugged because of it. Life teaches us that there are unscrupulous beings in the world but we can still learn and provide protection. Yet, are we providing protection for the right reason? 

Are we in fear and, if so, why do we keep allowing it?

One should also ask, what "possessed" someone to walk down a deserted looking street to get mugged in the first place? Did we really need that lesson in life, or were we denied a universal, mental-communicating awareness in order to protect ourselves from the unknown or unseen?

I also want to add that it's our mind and body that is utilized in moving the planchette. If it's not moving, this could be a good or bad thing. One, someone around you is not wanting you to make any connection, thinking they're protecting you. Two, no one is around you to communicate ... period. Three, no one wants you to know anything, you're being puppeted. Four, if the planchette is moving and not making sense, this could be deliberate interference. Again, someone not wanting to communicate with you or not wanting you to communicate with them. It's your brain, thoughts and body motions that are utilized to do anything. It's no mystery when you know this. That's where the expression  "being puppeted by the gods" came from. We don't need a Ouija Board to have our strings pulled.

Furthermore, we have been mentally communicating for eons ... with or without mind communicating tools. No? You think all those great ideas came from you only? You think you're always arguing with yourself all the time? Yeah, right!

 

Karma: Reaping or Sowing?

I learned not to judge rich or poor from many lessons I was taught during my life. We are all on different karmic paths: reaping or sowing. Sometimes it's more balanced and it's barely noticeable or can be seen instantaneously. Sometimes it's not, and we may see sowing more and reaping less or vice versa.

 

Do we see what our Creator sees?

 

After all, do we know the past life of any person who is rich? Did they suffer and were granted a more blessed existence because of it? How much did this person devote to others to be allowed this current life? Is one, that is rich, still helping others in whatever capacity they can? Just because it's not what we feel is right for us, is it our place to judge without knowing their path before they returned to earth or what they're to do during this lifetime?

 

Do we feel what our Creator feels?

 

Besides, if a person is choosing to not help others, is it due to hurt feelings, within the soul, of not being helped from others in their past? Do we know what we did to them, to have these feelings? Probably not, but we still judge them for teaching us a lesson?

Do we know what our Creator knows?

 

We also see impoverished people and lament. Our compassion wants to save them. However, do we know why they may be in this life? Could it be our cry for justice ... for karma ... that may have placed them in this situation? Are they also reaping what they sowed? Were our prayers answered with things like, I hope karma gets them or karma bites?

 

Do we understand what our Creator understands?

 

We see illness and death of all ages. We question the reasons but, again, could they be in a karmic cause and effect? Were our collective thoughts the karmic culprits? It's things to consider when we judge another or others. What flow are we creating? What flow did they create? Because, rich, poor or in the middle, that's the reaping and sowing of karma for the soul ... with the body being the instrument for doing so.

Happy 25th Anniversary I.D.P.S.!

On the 15th day of May, twenty-five years ago, I legally registered my metaphysical school, The Institute of Divine Philosophical Science (I.D.P.S.), with the State of Florida; a metaphysical school which offered courses and diplomas. When it first began, it was contained to local students but the internet made it international. 

Along the way, I've had students go as far as receiving the Associate's Degree. Some went onward and earn a Bachelor's Degree, yet only a few went the distance to earn a Master's Degree or PhD. There were even children receiving Angel Certificates. Hopefully, if they didn't continue onward with me, they continued on with their guidance or other teachers ... maybe becoming teachers themselves. Everyone must decide what's best for them.

Also, periodically, guidance suggested that I.D.P.S. give honorary PhD's to people who were promoting/teaching their metaphysical beliefs, even if they weren't the courses taught by I.D.P.S. After all, there are many paths, and teachers, toward the same destination of universal wisdom. It's nice to recognize their endeavors. 

Surprisingly, when I first decided to teach, and reward my students with diplomas, I hadn't noticed any other local metaphysical facility doing this. Of course, our community awareness wasn't as widespread as it is today. Now, due to the internet, there's more awareness of these various spiritual schools around the world ... some small and some grand ... some new and some that's been around for years ... some teaching in local shops, correspondence courses, or internet classes. Whatever gets the job done, that's what's important. 

I've also noticed that there were more metaphysical schools offering diplomas and not just certificates. This is wonderful, because, as I've always believed, it's great to receive recognition for a job well done. Which is why I would like to take this time to say thank you to guidance/universe and ... Happy 25th Anniversary I.D.P.S.!

Privileged? Don't Assume!

Is anyone else having similar feelings regarding "privileged" comments and memes? As I'm reading these social media posts, I'm appalled in seeing the racial bias from those who say they hate racial bias. I realize some may not want to see things in perspective because they would not be able to hold onto their judgements. Judge not lest thee be judged is not supposed to be one sided.

Anyway, lately I've seen comments about people being privileged with many relating it towards the white race. Don't assume that all whites are privileged or that other races aren't, because your perspective is off. Don't assume that only minorities have had a bad time of it unless you considered those underprivileged whites that have had it too. To do anything less would be ludicrous. I know what it feels like to be called white trash or poor white trash when I felt I was neither.

Thankfully, I'm fortunate to have friends of many races, on many levels of social status, to help me keep things in perspective. These friends have shown me that we all have our trials and are all doing the best we can. I love them because of their kind heart and not because of their physical countenance or financial status (or lack of one). I would hate to lose any one of them due to this insanity. Sadly, over the years, I've lost some friends, even so-called enlightened ones, because of assumptions. Don't assume the color of one's skin makes anyone privileged. Don't assume that even someone that looks well off didn't have, or are still having, their struggles too. In fact, don't assume I'm assuming, you'll be wrong.

For you see, many times, in my life, I've struggled with finances and other concerns. All my life, I've struggle with illnesses that kept wanting to knock me down. Many times, I've discussed, written about, and made videos of my horrendous psychic attacks. Many times, I've dealt with unemployment. Many times, I've been subject to reverse discrimination due to not having the right color skin, not being within a minority sexual orientation, or not speaking a foreign language, because of being "privileged." Many times, I wasn't able to have a job that I felt I was more qualified, then the one hired, due to a company needing to meet a government's race or veteran quota. Instead of whining about it, I joined the military to help me get a veteran's status. I tried to learn a foreign language or get better educated, but I couldn't do anything about my skin color and I didn't choose to change my sexual orientation. Many times, I couldn't even get government assistance because of being told certain minorities needed it more. After all, I was white and I could get a job. Yep, I was certainly privileged. Privileged enough to deal with lots of discrimination, including sexual discriminations. I'm sure you can discern those atrocities on your own. Walk a mile and don't assume.

Did I throw a temper fit, go on a murderous rampage, riot and loot because I didn't get my way; didn't think life was fair? No! I sucked it up and changed my direction, because I believed in the Golden Rule. The Bible told us to ask and you shall receive ... not steal and you shall receive (stealing food, due to hunger, was an exception). So I asked, many times, and many times I had doors closed on me. Eventually, life taught me that I may be knocking on the wrong door or my timing was off. I decided to just keep knocking until the right one opened or be patient until it was my time.

I tried to make good choices, to help me improve. Maybe God/Universe saw those good choices and I was finally rewarded by being able to pull myself up and out of those parts of my life. However, every single day I struggle to maintain my hard earned "rewards" from those who constantly want to pull me back down into their hell, to pull me back down into their misery, to pull me back down to their level ... the level I struggled to get out of by making good choices.

I feel their hate of what I have because of their assumptions. I paid my dues; I'm still paying them every day. Anyone who really knows me, and knows my life story, understands this, and yet, I still do what I can, when I can, to help others. In fact, I've observed that many people are helping, in many ways. However, people who are takers never want to acknowledge this. Eventually, I don't feel like giving, because of those takers, because of those complainers who feel no matter what anyone does it's never good enough, because of those that assume that life should be easy and that everything should be handed to them.

Don't assume you're not paying your dues, based on your choices or those you chose on your path. Don't assume that your not reaping what you sow. It's called karma. Many times, I've questioned my own life by saying: what did I do in a past life to deserve this or who have I angered out there? One of the best things I've learned, in my awakening, is asking permission (direction). Asking if this is the right door to open or is this the right person to help me (or if I'm to help them). I'm finding that this can save a lot of heartache.

Lastly, please don't judge that any one color is more privileged, anymore than any one color classifies thuggery. Take off those bias blinders, open your heart and not just your mind. Look around you and asked yourself, how can I be part of the solution and not part of the problem?

Privileged? Don't assume!
