The Laws of Karma

“ The Laws of Karma” from Soul Psychology By Dr. Joshua David Stone The Laws of Karma "For verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, 'till all be fulfilled." THE BIBLE - MATTHEW V:18 "And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail." THE BIBLE - LUKE XVI:17 The basic law of karma states that as you sow, you reap, what you put out comes back to you. This is the law of cause and effect. There are a lot of people who think that many people living in this world get away with a lot. I am here to tell you that no one gets away with anything. As Edgar Cayce said, "Every jot and tittle of the law is fulfilled." The interesting thing about this law of karma is that it extends over past lives. Even if it appears that someone has unfairly taken advantage of another and appears to have escaped unscathed, it is really not so. The continuity of the soul continues even if you have reincarnated into another physical body. Later on in this chapter I will give many examples that I have researched from the Edgar Cayce files. Jesus gave an excellent understanding of the law of karma when He said, "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you." This is more literal than people realize. There are different levels of karma. What I have been speaking of so far is what I would call one's personal karma. In other words, what we personally have set into motion with the power of our consciousness and mind. A second type of karma would be group karma. When we incarnate into this world we are born into a group and join groups. We are born into a group in respect to our skin color, our religious affiliation, and so on. When a person is born into a black body in the United States they have to deal with racism and prejudice. Not because a black body is less than or more than a white body, but because of the low level of spiritual consciousness of so many souls on this plane. A person in a black body or any minority, takes on karmic lessons of that group. Another type of karma might be national karma. We are born into a certain country, and then indoctrinated through school with its egotistical identifications. If, for example, there was a nuclear war between communist China and the United States, we would get caught up in this national karmic lesson. No person is an island unto themselves. Then there is planetary karma. This particular school called earth has certain unique lessons that are quite different than other planets in this galaxy or universe. We must deal with the planetary karma and the phase of history we are born into. It could also be said that all karma is personal in that we, as souls, choose our skin color, our families, what religion, what country we are going to grow up in before incarnating, so in that sense, one could say that all karma is personal karma because we chose it. The word karma has often been associated with "bad karma". In other words, when we have karma we are experiencing some form of suffering from a lesson not learned. This is opposed to the state of grace. The reading of this book and applying its principles allows a person to avoid suffering, for what is stated in this book is in harmony with God's laws. Everything in this universe is governed by laws. There are physical laws, emotional laws, mental laws, and spiritual laws. When a person gets out of harmony with these laws they suffer. Karma, hence, is not a punishment but a gift, a signal and sign that we are out of balance. The proper attitude towards everything that happens in life is the statement, "Not my will but thine. Thank you for the lesson." In Buddhism they talk about this as non-resistance. In psychology it is talked about as acceptance. Instead of fighting the universe, the idea is to work with the universe and learn from the universe. This does not mean to give up our power. Just the opposite. It means to own our power and to see what has happened as a teaching, lesson, challenge and opportunity to grow. The idea is to look at the karma as a stepping stone for soul growth. There is no need to suffer. Suffering is not God's design, it is our own. It is a sign that we are letting our negative ego or separated fear based self be our guide, not the soul or spirit. It is important to understand that there is no such thing as sin. A sin is like some unshakable stain on our character that cannot be removed. Sin is an egotistical concept, not a spiritual one. There are no sins, only mistakes. The true meaning of sin means, "missing the mark". Mistakes are, in actuality, positive not negative. The idea is to not go out of our way to make them, but when they do happen to learn from them and most of all forgive ourselves, for they are positive. Perfection is not never making a mistake. True perfection is the state of always forgiving oneself for one's mistakes and then trying to learn from that experience. Another very important point in respect to karma is that all lessons are learned within self. In other words, if you are having a vicious fight with a former friend, if you choose to forgive and hence, unconditionally love that person and let go of your animosity, you are freed from the karma, even if the other person chooses to hold onto a grudge for the rest of the incarnation. This is a very freeing understanding, and is confused by many people. Karma comes back to us on all levels: physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. How we take care of our physical body in this lifetime will determine how healthy a physical body we have in the next lifetime if we are destined to return. If you master your emotions in this lifetime and become peaceful, calm, joyous, and happy, then when you incarnate again next lifetime, as a baby you will be a peaceful, calm, joyous, and happy baby. Some people believe in this idea of the "tabuleau rasa", or blank slate philosophy. this is obviously absurd. We are not blank slates when we are born. As a matter of fact, there are really no such things as children. There are only adult souls living in babies bodies. The average person has 200 to 250 past lives. The soul with all its twelve soul extensions has an average of 2,000 to 2,500 past lives. Another very interesting point in respect to karma is the understanding that there really no so such thing as linear time in the spiritual world. Time is simultaneous. So your past and future incarnations are really happening now. For the now is really all that exists. It is also possible to have karmic bleed through from one of your eleven other soul extensions who are still in incarnation. This bleed through can come from the past or the future. I realize that this is a very difficult concept to understand on this plane. I have difficulty understanding it fully myself. This is a concept to try and grasp with your right brain rather than your left brain. The karmic bleed through can manifest as, let's say, physical symptoms you are experiencing that aren't in reality your own. Let's say one of your fellow soul extensions is close to death in his or her incarnation. You may be experiencing this or running some of their karma through your physical body. If you want to do this for one or many of your soul extensions you can, however, I wouldn't recommend doing it too much unless you receive clear guidance to do so. As I mentioned in an earlier chapter, a co-dependency can take place with them relying on you too much which is not good. In another experience I, personally, had with Djwhal Khul one day, he said that there was cigarette smoke in my field. I said, "cigarette smoke, that's impossible for I have never smoked cigarettes." I asked Him if He was sure it wasn't incense, which I sometimes light. He said, "no, it was cigarette smoke." He searched more deeply into the cause and he found it was coming from one of my soul extensions. To understand this concept of soul extensions being guided by the soul or over soul, I would recommend reading one of the Seth books, called "The Education of Oversoul Seven". This will help to give you a better understanding of this concept of simultaneous time, and the concept of soul extensions being guided by the soul. Later in this book I will talk more about the three permanent atoms, which are recording devices for our personal karma, in our physical, mental, and emotional bodies. The three permanent atoms record all of our good and bad karma, like our own personal akashic records. These permanent atoms are also dispensers of karma. They dispense karmic pictures into our blood stream which has an enormous affect on our glandular system. This is part of God's system for implementing the law of karma fairly. Another important point in respect to karma is that you are only given as much as you can handle. This is controlled by your soul and monad. If all one's karma was dumped upon a person all at once, no one could obviously handle it. It is possible to slow down the karma coming your way if you are feeling overwhelmed, and it is also possible to speed up your karmic lessons if you want to grow faster. This is achieved by just praying for this to your soul and monad and/or God. It is their joy to work with you in any way that you feel most comfortable. As mentioned in the chapter on initiation, all our good karma from all our past lives and this one is stored in our casual body, or soul body. The building of this causal body is one of the main requirements for achieving liberation from the wheel of rebirth. It is also important to realize that to achieve ascension one needs to balance only 51% of the karma of all their past lives. This is one's personal past lives, not the karma of your eleven other soul extensions. Much of the karma we experience in our lives is not necessarily from past lives. Much of it we have created in this life. For example, let's say someone falls asleep at the wheel while driving and gets into a serious car accident. The lesson may be as simple as being foolish enough to drive when one is over tired. The important lesson here is that all karma from past lives is basically just programming in your subconscious mind and in your three permanent atoms. This can all be transformed in this life by learning to be the master of your three lower vehicles, the physical, emotional, and mental bodies, in service of spirit, and unconditional love. It is possible to completely clear your subconscious mind and three permanent atoms of all negative programming and to replace them with positive programming. The laws of karma even extend to the type of soul you attract during intercourse and conception. The kind of soul that is attracted is greatly determined by the quality of feeling and love that is shared and being made manifest during the love making experience. Another very interesting point in respect to karma is how it relates to blood transfusions, organ transplants and animal organ transplants. Djwhal Khul has said that all three are highly not recommended if at all possible. Take, for example the blood transfusion. Let's say that you are a third degree initiate and have just taken your soul merge initiation. Then you go into a hospital and get a blood transfusion from the blood from a street person who hasn't stepped onto their spiritual path yet. The blood physically and spiritually speaking, would be totally dissonant to your vibration. You are, in essence, running their karma through your blood stream. The example of an organ transplant would be even worse. Even worse yet would be putting a pig’s liver into a human body which they are actually doing now. This really blows my mind! The basic law of the universe is that it is our thoughts that create our reality. All karma has its antecedent in some ancient thought, that led to a feeling or action. It is sometimes helpful to do hypnotic regression work to release karmic blocks from past lives or early childhood. Under hypnosis one can re-experience a past trauma that can help give insight as to the true catalyst and cause, and can very often help to release that program from the subconscious mind. I will give many other tools later on in this book. One last interesting understanding in relationship to karma has to do with a master taking on the karma of one of its disciples. Sai Baba, the great Master from India has done this frequently with devotees. In one instance he took on a heart attack, a stroke, and ruptured appendix of a devotee who would have died for sure. Sai Baba became deathly ill for ten days. Over twenty five of the finest doctors in India were at His bedside on the tenth day. He had turned completely black and the consensus of the twenty five doctors was that He had only ten minutes to live. Sai Baba would not take medication and said, “At four o'clock today I will be giving a lecture.” The doctors thought He was crazy. At the appointed hour he apparently sprinkled some water on Himself and instantly cured Himself and was fine. The twenty five doctors began praying to Sai Baba for help before treating any patient from that moment forward. Examples of Karma as it Extends Over Past Lives and/or Future Lives In my research I have extensively studied the Edgar Cayce files and come up with some fascinating cases showing how the law of karma extends over past or future lives. The first example is that of a man who lived in Rome in a past life. He was a very handsome man, and he used to go around criticizing other people for being fat and not handsome like himself. In his present life he had an under-active pituitary and was obese. I had mentioned earlier in this book how the three permanent atoms often release karma into the bloodstream which adversely affects the glandular system. This is one very good example of this process. In another reading of Cayce a man had knifed and killed someone in a past life. In this life he was suffering from leukemia. In another similar type of reading a man had killed someone and this life he was shedding his own blood with anemia. The parents of a young eight year old boy took him to see Edgar Cayce for a chronic bed wetting problem. It turned out that the bed wetting was a karmic lesson from a past life in Salem, Massachusetts during the witch trials. He had been one of the men who was responsible for dunking the witches under water and torturing them for their metaphysical beliefs. The eight year old boy was suffering from a deep seated guilt for having mistreated his fellow man which was being manifest as bed wetting. The cause of epilepsy in two different readings was caused by a misuse of psychic powers in a past life, and in another reading by overindulgence in sexuality. A black couple went to see Cayce and asked why it was they were black in this racist society. It turns out in their last previous past life they were white plantation owners in the South and had mistreated blacks. This reminds me of Jesus' statement to "do unto others as you would have others do unto you", for that is exactly how the law works. A friend of mine had a fear of swimming in the water. Two different psychics separately told her that she had died in the sinking of the Titanic. This same friend's three main interests in this life have been art, music, and the American Indians. The same psychic, without knowing this, told her that her last three past lives had been as a famous artist, musician, and as an American Indian. A woman's fear of knives had to do with a life in Persia where she was attacked by invading forces who killed her with a knife. In another reading a man had a very painful hip condition which the doctors said was cancer of the bone. Cayce said that it was a karmic situation from a past life in Rome where this person was in the Coliseum arena. This person was apparently laughing at the suffering of one of the people in combat. In another reading a man was suffering from severe congenital cataracts. Cayce said it was from a past life in Persia where this person was in a tribe of barbarians who blinded other tribesmen with hot irons. Cayce has said that hives are caused by animosities, holding grudges, and unkindly thoughts. Cayce also said that no one can hate his neighbor and not have stomach and liver problems. In another reading a child was suffering from infantile paralysis at one year of age. Both legs were crippled and both feet stunted in their growth. Cayce said that this was from an Atlantean incarnation where she used drugs and hypnosis to make people weak in limb and body so they would have to follow her orders. Another fascinating Cayce reading tells of a man who hated blacks. He was a Nazi and member of the Ku Klux Klan. He said that blacks were like animals. This man obviously would not come for a reading, but someone who did asked how anyone could be filled with so much hate. It turned out that this soul, in a past life, was a Phoenician around, I think it was 500 BC. Apparently there was a war between the Phoenicians and the Carthaginians and he was captured and made a slave in one of the ships. The ships were like the ones depicted in the movie Ben Hur, when they were chained to their seats down below deck and made to row the oars. A black man would beat the drum and all the slaves would have to row to the beat of the drum. Another black man would beat the slaves that didn't keep up to the proper rowing beat. This man apparently lived for thirty years being transferred from ship to ship, being made to row and constantly beaten. In this life this is a good example of karmic bleed through. He built up so much hate in that lifetime that when he incarnated again it came right out. In another reading a man was born in a deformed physical body. People always wonder why one person seems blessed and another cursed. It turns out that in a past life this soul was the Roman emperor who fiddled while Rome burned. This deluded soul built up so much bad karma in that life he chose to balance it out in one fell swoop by having a deformed body. In another reading a woman had an overpowering fear of animals. This fear came from an experience in Rome when this entity's husband had been made to fight wild beasts in one of the arenas. Another woman had been married for nine years and had a very sweet and loving husband. The woman was still afraid to get involved sexually. It turns out that in a past life during the Crusades he had restrained her with a chastity belt which caused her to hate him. This karmic lesson still obviously hadn't been worked out. A woman came to see Edgar Cayce who had glandular disturbances that caused an excessive menstrual flow which made it impossible for her to attend school and led to extreme depression and a nervous breakdown. Cayce said in a past life she had been a nun in a French convent at the time of Louis the XIV. She had been very stern, cold, and intolerant of human weakness. Her understanding of scripture was purely literal. She acted superior and very intolerant of others. In another reading a woman couldn't commit to marriage. Cayce told her that her wariness sprang from a life during the Crusades where her husband deserted her. Another woman had an abnormal shyness and inability to make friends. It stemmed from a life in France when she had much talent and beauty, but her husband's jealousy caused him to suppress her every natural impulse with cold and merciless tyranny. He even went so far as to beat her with a whip at times. In another reading a doctor had a marked uncommunicative nature. Cayce said it stemmed from a past life of practicing silence as a Quaker. Another person was deaf. This stemmed from closing the ears to the suffering of others in a past life. Another person had digestive problems. this was caused by a past life of gluttony. A motion picture producer had polio. This came from a life in Rome, again, where he jeered and mocked others for not resisting death in the combats at the Coliseum in Rome. In another reading a man was a homosexual who wanted to become a priest. This was a source of great confusion and conflict for him. In a past life he was apparently a satirist and gossip monger in the French court who took particular delight in exposing homosexual scandals of the court with his cartoon skill. I have given a lot of examples of bad karma, carrying over to this life. Karma can also be of a positive nature. For example, how did Mozart create piano concerto's at five years old? He had four or five lifetimes as famous musicians previous to this life. How did each of you reading this book receive a healthy body and grow up in the United States? You could have been a starving Somalian, or you could have grown up in Communist China or a thousand other places that wouldn't have allowed you the freedoms and opportunities you have here. Djwhal Khul on the Law of Karma and Rebirth I would like to end this chapter with a series of 13 statements by Djwhal Khul in the Alice Bailey book called, "The Reappearance of the Christ". These 13 statements by Djwhal provide a good summation of the entire process. 1. The Law of Rebirth is a great natural law upon our planet. 2. It is a process, instituted and carried forward under the Law of Evolution. 3. It is closely related to and conditioned by the Law of Cause and Effect. 4. It is a process of progressive development, enabling men to move forward from the grossest forms of unthinking materialism to a spiritual perfection and an intelligent perception which will enable a man to become a member of the Kingdom of God. 5. It accounts for the differences among men and - in connection with the Law of Cause and Effect (called the Law of Karma in the East) - it accounts for differences in circumstances and attitudes to life. 6. It is the expression of the will aspect of the soul and is not the result of any form decision; it is the soul in all forms which reincarnates, choosing and building suitable physical, emotional and mental vehicles through which to learn the next needed lessons. 7. The Law of Rebirth (as far as humanity is concerned) comes into activity upon the soul plane. Incarnation is motivated and directed from the soul level, upon the mental plane. 8. Souls incarnate in groups, cyclically, under law and in order to achieve right relations with God and with their fellowmen. 9. Progressive unfoldment, under the Law of Rebirth, is largely conditioned by the mental principle for "as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." These few brief words need most careful consideration. 10. Under the Law of Rebirth, man slowly develops mind, then mind begins to control the feeling, emotional nature, and finally reveals the soul and its nature and environment to man. 11. At that point in his development, the man begins to tread the Path of Return, and orients himself gradually (after many lives) to the Kingdom of God. 12. When - through a developed mentality, wisdom, practical service and understanding - a man has learned to ask nothing for the separated self, he then renounces desire for life in the three worlds and is freed from the Law of Rebirth. 13. He is now group conscious, is aware of his soul group and of the soul in all forms and has attained - as Christ had requested - a stage of Christ like perfection reaching unto the "Measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ.
