KARMA AND REINCARNATION

Many are the papers, articles, books and teachings which discuss Reincarnation and Karma and how these influence each other.

This forms Karmic patterns which cause, direct, and have influence on the formation of the soul during its approach into a new incarnation, a new manifestation of a Self. We call this "Fate" or "Destiny", and it all seems to be impossible to control. But it is not. One can control it, and one should.

The Karma is a universal law of Cause and Effect which provides the soul with opportunities for physical, mental and spiritual growth. Each soul (or entity) has subconscious access on a lower or higher level to the characteristics it has developed and accumulated during the past, such as mental capacities and skills. But Karma is also "balance". It balances the effects of Good and Bad deeds and is thus a balancing point and "watchdog" during the time span of the many sojourns the individual Self undertakes by reincarnating.

And this is all reflected into underlying patterns of each and every one of the Self's sojourns to the Present time.

But there are also negative energies and emotions to face from the past, energies in emotions such as hate, fear, selfishness, cruelty, greed and self-righteousness.

The present is a reflection of the past, and Karma works through Reincarnation IN the experience of this in the present, and FROM experiences in the past.

There are Negative experiences, negatively influenced Karmic patterns, and there are Positive experiences which positively influence the Karmic patterns.

Between every Sojourn, between every new incarnation, every negative and positive influenced energy in the Karma of the individual is measured and balanced by its negative and positive Karmic patterns.

At the time of reincarnation  - the return to a material Self -  the soul is given the opportunity to re-balance its negative Karmic pattern by subduing selfish impulses, subduing cruelty, perishing hate and instead encouraging creative positive patterns, thus creating better balance or Karma for the future lifetimes. By doing this negative energies carried by the soul and Self are released to be transformed into more harmless and neutralized forms

With these deeds of negative actions we are in debt to the past. Since we are building for a future Self by our actions in the present, it must be remembered that our present actions are also reflected into the future, and thereby creating a debt in the future. 

When these Karmic patterns are in balance there is obviously nothing which would necessitate a return to a material Self - the rebirth is no longer needed. But how then are we able to change this?

The way to do this is by our  WILL. Every individual Self has its own free Will - a Will that makes choices, and a Will that acts on the choices it makes.

There is  nothing which affects an individual's Self and its present life as much as its Will and its influences on the Self at its present sojourn laid down in the form of karmic patterns of past incarnations.

To free you from your past and from your Karma related to experiences in the past   -  and also to free those from the past related to you by your mutual experiences in that past - you must forgive THEM, and they must forgive You. Within this is also the reason to be found for many of those who cannot understand karmic influences that seem to affect them even when they cannot recognize a "bad deed" in their entire present life. The reason may not be there, it could well be a reflection and influence from one of the Self's sojourns in a distant Past.

As our Self works through the play of life it will so often pick up negative experiences during the sojourn - experiences that require it to return to physically live life after life and often with the same group of people held together by influences of their experiences in the Past. To enable a change to be made and an opportunity of a new decision that may release a negative Karmic load, this support is another reason for the Self to reincarnate, and for the Reincarnation as a whole.

All that has offended me I forgive

All that have hurt me I forgive

Within and without I forgive

Things past, things present, things future I forgive

I forgive everyone and everything

That can possibly need my forgiveness

In the past, in the present and in the future.

I ask all and all things to forgive me.

From the past,  from the present,  from the future.

But most of all I forgive myself

For first having set them all in motion.

I am free - and they are free too.

All things are cleared up between us now - and forever.

Close your eyes  -   and the people,  the individuals who will benefit most from your forgiveness of them and their forgiveness of you  -  now  will mentally appear before you.

Make them appear before you; and they will receive your blessings - and your forgiveness. When you now mentally affirm The Forgiveness, the forgiveness will flow from you to them,  and from them to you.

Mentally affirm by reading The Forgiveness again.

All that has offended me I forgive

All that have hurt me I forgive

Within and without I forgive

Things past, things present, things future I forgive

I forgive everyone and everything

That can possibly need my forgiveness

In the past, in the present and in the future.

I ask all and all things to forgive me.

From the past, from the present, from the future.

But most of all I forgive myself

For first having set them all in motion.

I am free - and they are free too.

All things are cleared up between us - now - and forever.

The karma does NOT only affect us only as singular individuals, but also our personal environments and/or surroundings.  We should also be mindful of that as we also affect the life of others by our actions whether positive or negative.
