Karma is thought of as the re-balancing of energy between souls. For example, if you hurt someone during your life together, you would have the opportunity to make amends in the next life. Perhaps you were a nasty parent in one life. In the next life, you might be the victim of a nasty parent. The child to which you were mean, could be your parent the next time.
Another example is that if you ran over someone with your car in one lifetime, in another lifetime, that person might run you over with their car. This not only re-balances the energy between the souls, but it gives each person the opportunity to be the driver and to be the victim. We can learn a lot from both situations.
I asked a few psychics about Karma and I was told that we can adjust the energy in any way we want. There are no limits. We can do anything which feels right to us.
This is how my understanding evolved:
1) I thought Karma was re-balanced within our soul group as we moved from one lifetime to another lifetime, playing different roles. The re-balancing happened in the physical world.
2) Then, I heard that Karma can be re-balanced when a soul on The Other Side (the non-physical world) sends help to a person in the physical world. It’s as if they are apologetic, or feeling a need to make amends, so they help the living person. Re-balancing crosses realms.
3) Then, I heard that we can equalize the energy between people when we are both on The Other Side. We can say something like, “Good game. Thanks for playing the role you played in my life. We’re good now.” We can understand that each of us was playing a role. There are no hard feelings.
Once I realized that we can adjust Karma in the spiritual world, I saw that there was no need to re-balance Karma while in the physical world. Nothing would be carried over into our next lives together.
However, we could still agree to play a perpetrator or a victim role in a subsequent life to give the other person a chance to experience something which they would like to experience. It’s not about a need to re-balance energy at all. The energy balance is fine. It’s about the opportunity each of us has, from lifetime to lifetime, to live through different circumstances. We want to try them all so that we understand what it’s like to go through adventures, successes, and challenges.
4) Then it was suggested that there is no need to even out the energies between souls at all. Instead, we can think of Karma as a recalibrating of the energy within our own soul.
One of the things we are doing, from lifetime to lifetime, if we so choose, is making up for things we did in previous lives that we feel badly about. For example, if we hurt people and we feel remorse, during a subsequent lifetime we can do things to improve the lives of other people. Maybe we could do charity work. Think of this like penance. We can put some good energy into the world to make up for the things we feel guilty about. Guilty isn’t the right word, but you get the idea. It’s not about re-balancing energy with anyone else, it’s about a personal adjustment within our soul.
In fact, why wait until the next life? We can clear out any remorse from this lifetime, in this lifetime.
One of the psychics channeled a clear message noting that Karma between souls doesn’t exist. It isn’t a thing.
We are here to experience everything which interests us. We can set up lifetimes to have those experiences. There is no right or wrong. This is a theater where we can perform any play we want to write. It’s all about living the human experience so that we can deeply understand what it is to be a human being.
What about the other idea that "what goes around comes around"? We think of that as "instant karma." I think that exists, but I'll write about it another time.
So many new ideas here! What do you think?
