Hello everyone!
Before you start reading this post I would like to say a few words on how I got the inspiration on writing this down. For days ago I came upon a post from the user @isaria, the post is entitled Question of the Day: Do You Believe in Karma?, I liked the topic and the questions so I wrote a personal opinion comment on it.
What encouraged me was @isaria's reply that suggested I should make a post myself related to my comment on her post. So I said to myself, yeah, why not!
I want to thank her for that,I'm happy and grateful of our encounter here on steemit.
Thank you once again!
Does Karma exist?
If so, does Karma result during this lifetime or the next?
• Yes it does, it's cause and effect, and it results in what our entity has lived through all lives lived through the ages, including this one.
Are we currently living the life that we have manifested through our own past actions during this life or a past life?
• Both, there for trough our entity's summed actions through all ages, basically and "endless" string of cause and effect.
Can you believe in God and also somewhat believe in Karma or are those entirely conflicting beliefs?
Or is everything just random?
• Nothing is random, it may only seem random if we can't really see the whole picture and/or by creating a virtual reality where we can tend to imagine ourselves being the center of the universe, therefore separating ourselves from the One and Only Truth, that we are all One, and One is the Truth and that Truth Is God, or whatever people choose to call it.
Now, about this virtual reality that I mentioned above, what I'm trying to say is that we can replicate almost everything, from thoughts, feelings, emotions, truth, relationships, body organs and so one. But no matter how hard you try to perfectly replicate a Masterpiece, no matter how good and skillful you are, there is only One original Masterpiece, there is only one Gioconda, Vitruvian Man and Holy Grail. A replica remains only a replica, nothing more, nothing less, that's all there is to it.
Everything around us is connected, if you have "the eyes to see and the ears to hear"
And here's an simple but efficient example about connection:
**Naturally you can't grow a plant without soil, but you'll also need water, and even if you have soil and water, you will need also light, heat, and air... and even if you have all of this things you need for a plant to grow, if the soil and water is scarce of essential minerals and microorganisms then the plant can't actually grow.
So if we understand and see all this things, then why are we as natural human beings in anyway different from this connected natural chain. Everything is connected to everything, if you look at the stars at night you are looking at yourself, if you look into the depths of space trillions and trillions of miles "away" your are still looking at yourself, into the depths of consciousness Itself, everything around you is consciousness because you are consciousness, a piece, a cluster of consciousness, each and every one of us represents consciousness as a Whole, as One.
You are every person you ever met, loved, cherished, despised and hated.
For each and every one of us is capable of all this emotions, all of us cry, all of us laugh, all of us have needs.
None of us are truly different from each other, if you have enough empathy for everything around you it's very plain to see and understand all of this things, but this things don't come easy in life, usually they are being gifted to you trough tough years of pain and suffering, because that is the only time a man truly realizes who he really is.
We live in an Golden Age of technology, were we are encouraged to think and create from the inside towards the outside and not the other way around, for example, if you have a disease you are encouraged to create an antibiotic, if you have emotional problems you are encouraged to go to a shrink, if you have all of this and you are a religious man you are told to pray to God who is in Heaven, or to find Jesus in a book. If you need to travel you'll need a car, always depending on a 3rd party for everything, or like Jim Morrison said in The End "desperately in need of some stranger's hand, in a desperate land... " But nobody actually tells you that all the things you lack and the things that you're trying to find on the outside are actually within, God is in your mind and Jesus in your heart. Everything you'll ever need is within yourself, everything in this wold came to life by imagination, if you can imagine something that means that something is real and it already exists. That is how God created the world: "in the beginning there was The WORD" and what is really this Word and where does the WORD come form initially... it comes from the THOUGHT and the thought is born from imagination. That simple.
We need Stephen Hawking to tell us that Greed and Stupidity are humanity's biggest enemies, or we need some renowned scientist to tell us that the Universe may be conscious!? I first started to think about this things when I was 8 and never stopped since... and I'm not really that special, we all are, we just need to start using our minds and follow our hearts
And all this things lent me to realize one important thing, I head an epiphany about some words that I always found they have something interesting to say but I never truly realized it until a couple of months ago.
It's about the well knows phrase: "as above, so bellow" I think this is simply trying to tell us that what we think and imagine Up (with our head / mind / brain) is the soul manifestation of what happens Bellow (under our hands and feet)
I think our soul purpose here in this dimension and really is for us to grow, to be aware, to be conscious.
And to put it simply: Just to Grow!
The meaning of life is to understand life, to understand life is to understand yourself, if you truly understand yourself, you can understand everything around you.
So the purpose of life is to give life purpose and understanding.
There is great potential in each and everyone of us, but we alone have to be aware of that potential, if we aren't no one can do it for us and it's all lost and no one's to blame for it but our own self.
I will also finish my comments with a video whom I hope will make a difference in one's life and make him see things from a different perspective
Many blessings to you all.
really great article.not everyone believes karma to be true but every religion in a way confirms this.
