Have you ever wondered about "what ifs"? I have and I like to share a few, that I've had, and why. During my life, I had so many things happen to me that I started asking (to no one in particular) what did I do in a past life to deserve this? Was there really such a thing as past lives? Then one day, due my questions and curiosity, I found out some things about me via past lives. I learned about karma and that there are those that don't let injustices go - sometimes ever - because they keep living in the past. Because of this, our past can often come back to haunt us and I don't mean our current life's actions... even though it can contribute to it.
Now, the what ifs. We hear people say things about karma (cause and effect) and that people will reap what they sow (sooner or later). What if people, that we see in desperate or depraved situations, in any country, are actually reaping what they sowed? From some past horrendous crime to humanity or another being? Or what if they're still climbing that proverbial ladder of removing past transgressions? What if our thoughts/curses are creating these scenarios for ourselves and others? You know that saying: be careful what we wish for.
Then I remembered something a spiritual teacher taught me once: sometimes, spiritually-evolved people are selected to return to help some people with their burdens. People like Jesus or Mother Teresa, for instance. They may be hurt by helping others. But maybe some choose to help who aren't as evolved. What if people, like those, are still working on their karma... including past or current leaders who had to use force to control the angry masses of lower life energies? What if it was their burden to do this... to pay off past transgressions... but caused more transgressions in the process?
What if everyone is on the journey they're meant to be on... due to karma? What if a woman, who feels she's a man, was a man who crucified a woman, in a past life, and now has to be a woman in this life (or vice versa)? See? And... what if all the evil and darkness we see, all round the world, is part of this karmic curse ideology? What if this ideology has gone too far and that's why we're seeing so much hate and anger? What if this hate and anger, of our inner turmoil, is being redirected to those that were sent to save us? Blaming them instead of looking within.
So... what if we all knew about these what ifs? Would we have more understanding? More acceptance? More change? More harmony? More peace of mind? Really... what if?
