One of the universal laws states that whatever kind
of negativity or positivity you create towards others, you will receive
back - sooner or later. It's called the Law of Karma. You could also
describe it as the universal Law of Justice, or the Golden Rule ("Do
unto others as you would have them do unto you"). The Law of Karma
is why it's important to pay close attention to how you are living your
life, and how you affect others.
Karma: Non-refundable, Non-exchangeable
There is no way to change bad karma to good once it
is created, not through your own actions. You can act in positive, loving
ways and hope that it will release your bad karma, but there are no
guarantees. Your only true karmic power is over the kind of karma you
choose to create, from this point forward. Whatever
you create, that is what you will receive back in your own life.
Resolving Your Karma
The two ways that karma can be resolved are: 1) To walk
through the karma-resolving experiences that naturally show up along
your spiritual path, and 2) For Spirit to choose to lift that karma
from you, through grace. So, the best you can do is to be careful what
new karma you are creating be being as honest and loving as you can
be, to experience your life challenges with grace, and to ask Spirit
for your healing and releasing of karma as is for the highest good of
all involved.
How Knowing About Your Karma
Can Help You
So, the reason for examining your unresolved karma is
not so you can try to balance or resolve it, because you can't hurry
or change the course of karma - only Spirit can. The reason to consider
your karma is to help you understand why you're having some of the experiences
you're having in this life, and to help you learn about the consequences
of taking negative, judgmental, or harmful actions with yourself or
others.
