KARMA, RIGHT OR PRIVILEGE?

My last blog, “I only look at the positive, so everything is wonderful,” received such an unexpected response (now over 6,000 written responses), with over 95% positive. I looked at the other responses. Some good questions were presented, questions on Karma and the Law of Non-Interference, regarding bringing awareness in ending child prostitution. The questions presented; does being an activist against child prostitution interfere with someone’s karma, and does it interfere with the Law of Non-Interference? I shall show questions on these two subjects, but first, for many of my new readers who may not know what karma or the Law of Non-Interference is, I shall briefly describe them below.

Karma, a word used worldwide, is used in Eastern religious beliefs, New Age beliefs, yet a word rarely understood. Is karma a “right,” meaning morally justified and correct, or is it a “privilege” to grant distinct benefits? Karma in Sanskrit means to do, to create action, work, and deed. The Dalai Lama’s book Path to Bliss states, “Some people misunderstand the concept of karma. They take the Buddha’s doctrine of the law of causality to mean that all is predetermined, that there is nothing that the individual can do. This is a total misunderstanding. The very term karma or action is a term of active force, which indicates that future events are within your own hands. Since the action is a phenomenon committed by a person, a living being, it is within your own hands whether or not you engage in action.”

My teacher, Jonah, taught the meaning of karma many years ago, which I feel has an obvious and eloquent interpretation. He states, “Karma only exists when unconditional loving does not.”

Many years ago, I asked my Chinese teacher about the Law of Non-Interference. He smiled and stated, “A law most human minds do not understand; thus, they have created many new laws and interpretations. If one wants to understand the meaning of the Law of Non-Interference, one only needs to look at the nature of the universe. For that, which is the creative source of this nature, is also the creative source of humans. Meaning you want to understand, understand physics.”

When he taught me this, almost 30 years ago, I began to study the physics of nature, how nature works, and how nature comes under the law of physics. Philosophers for millenniums have sought to understand the nature of law, what makes a law, and do laws of nature change? Shortly after, I began to study philosophy, my other teacher Jonah taught, “The only absolute is there are no absolutes.” That teaching made me search even deeper into the realm of human consciousness versus nature. Years ago, in my research on physics, I found “Wave-particle duality,” where a physicist observed within a quantum event that the event itself changes by mere observation of the event. The quantum event knows when it is being observed.

This is just like humans. If a person is aware they are being observed, they change how they normally are. I see this all the time in my Tai Yi School when it comes to testing time. A student will come up to the front of the class to demonstrate what they have learned about Tai Yi. They know they are being observed, tested; thus, they change how they would normally be. How often I hear, “But I do better when you are not watching me.” Sometimes I will observe someone, not aware consciously I am watching them. Still, I find subtle changes in their behavior, such as movements, in how they hold their head and hands.

So what does this have to do with Karma and the Law of Non-Interference? Do you create karma through the Law of Non-Interference by observations? What about the Wave-particle duality? I have read statements from psychologists stating they will go out of their way to give incomplete advice to prevent breaking the Law of Non-Interference, thereby avoiding karma. Yet, if they created change in the client by their mere observation, would they not be breaking this law, even if they said nothing?

This is undoubtedly an interesting philosophical topic to discuss. I will present this question; knowing it will make some angry, some will want to explore more, some will agree, some will get more involved, and yes, some will hit the delete button and move on. So here goes. Do some people use the law of Karma and the Law of Non-Interference to avoid taking responsibility as humans to assist humanity? Studying human behavior over the years, I have come across many unique excuses for why some do not want to get involved.

The most pathetic excuse of all time occurred in 1988 through the Universal Education Foundation, which I co-founded. Several volunteers with Rebecca, my wife, met a group of teen boys who had been in detention for one reason or another. One teenage boy I shall never forget. His father, who acted as his pimp, had used him as a sex slave from five to fifteen until he was caught and put in prison. He was now 16 when I met him. I worked with him for that week but knew he would need therapy for years to come. At the end of the week, I asked a psychologist if she would volunteer her time with him, as he would not fully open up to a male. Her response was, “Hey, he is not my karma. Why should I volunteer?”

I asked her what she meant, and she replied, “This kid created this himself. This is his karma. He will need to deal with it, don’t be asking me to volunteer my time.”

I told her, “I will never ask you again, for anything. But, before I go, just a quick comment, perhaps you have chosen the wrong profession.”

I see so many people sitting around waiting to be a New Age enlightened person, the return of Jesus, or some colossal event to occur, something to create change, without getting involved. Abraham Lincoln once said (May 29, 1849), “You can fool some of the people all the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all the time.”

With all the talk about the end of the world, it breeds the unscrupulous minds to feed on the fear of survival mentality. The savior mentality is a hot commodity. Wouldn’t it be interesting to search the depth of a mind that fully believed in Karma or Law of Non-Interfere, as a way of not getting involved? I mean not getting your hands dirty, being fearful of being the cause of change in someone who has turned their life around because of you, and your choice to get involved. Unfortunately, world peace is not like a virus that can spread worldwide in a matter of days. World peace takes action; it takes energy, not just by the few, but by the many. I think it is particularly confusing to find those who live by the absolute word of Law of Non-Interference, yet expect change and mass enlightenment. For God’s sake, if everyone believed in this law, who would be left to get involved?

If a serial rapist were loose in your neighborhood, would you state you could not get involved because of this law? Would you communicate it is not my karma to get raped? Would you state to one who was raped, this is your karma, and I cannot help you because of the Law of Non-Interference? If you knew the devastating anti-nature of GMO food, would you use the Law of Non-Interference not to interfere not to speak out for humanity’s quality? Perhaps being a spectator when you could have helped is in itself creating karma. Yes, that does show a lack of concern for humanity. Maybe people have this law backward. Perhaps it is about getting involved in change and helping people heal, assisting people in awakening their true destiny.

I know this message is working. I am finding that more and more people who used to sit on the sidelines now get involved. They are getting involved in educating the public on the dangers of GMO food, the risks of Chem Trails, the threat of putting preservatives in vaccinations causing brain damage, the risks of global climate change, the dangers for our children, humanity’s children, being sold into slavery. Please don’t make an excuse; this is not your problem; it does not exist in our country. It is our problem. It does exist in every country on earth, so does GMO food, preservatives in vaccinations, and global climate change. All of this is in your back yard.

I write from a very different perspective on human consciousness. I have had two death experiences in this life. I have had the opportunity to meet and be taught by some enlightened teachers, physical and non-physical (Read Tide of Change). I know what occurs with many people who are self-conscious about getting involved. They are simply working on their enlightenment and raising their vibration by only sending light to others. Indeed some of these people will have some compelling experiences when they travel to the other side.

Many do want to get involved, and they do not know-how. What are the issues in your country? 

I consider myself a philosopher, one deeply committed to motivating change in people’s lives. I do not apologize for being an instrument of change in the lives of many people. I do not apologize for getting in the face of parents who mentally and emotionally abuse their children. I do not apologize for pushing parents to see the damage they are doing to their children. Am I breaking laws by being an instrument in the healing of these children? If I am, then I am breaking Eastern religious laws, or New Age Laws, or some law a channel has declared is a law. If I am breaking these laws, they certainly are not Universal Laws of unconditional loving. I am impassioned by having experienced some middle-aged men and women come up to me and state, “You helped me as a child and were the turning point in my life. Without your involvement, I may have gone in a very different direction.”

I have been asked many times to write about my journey this past March to Jerusalem and Petra, Jordan. I shall do this soon; it will be titled “A Journey Through Deception.”
