Spirituality: Karma? Reincarnation? What is it?

[Simon0]

so, do we change our lives just by creating good karma for the future, or can we make other efforts to change our life? Are all efforts to change our life pointless, and we just concentrate on creating good karma, and our life will change by itself?

then self help books are pointless, just create good karma.

[REAL88E]

ive always been told i have good karma when good things start to happen i feel i dont deserve them. as i actually look back i have had endless supply of oppertunities even now how do i recieve the good blessings happily and how do i stop verbally and physically pushing them away. as soon as something good happens i get depressed. when im cheated or lied on i feel like a corageous lion but i always loose the battle over and over again . ive been trying to force myself to alow my good karma help?

[Simon0]

@REAL88E i am no expert. but maybe just allow your mind to do what it does. dont really fight with it. its not easy though. i fight with my mind too.

i think it is a natural thing for humans to feel guilty. it is like one of the basic things that all humans have, an inbuilt feeling of guilt, a feeling we dont really deserve good things in life.

[guidav123]

I beleive acts rather they be good or bad are simply paths to an energy. everything is energy. within our energetic matrix that make who we are everything is also energy. Unresolved negative emotions that is of a lower vibration is what gives us energetic imbalances. doing well or having good done to us enables us to heal these imbalaces to make us whole. energetic imbalances, if not overcome will be took from lifetime to lifetime.

Who will support you?

[Apink420]

do u think God put us on this earth so we can experience suffering? cuz i always wondered why such bad things are always happening and why God hasnt tried 2 stop it

[AwsomArchangel]

@Apink420 god let us come here volutarily to play in three dimensional form , something went wrong and we fell from grace in to war and suffering , now we reincarnate through hardship to heal us and bring us back to unconditional love

I don't want to be a king they always a puppets and have agenda of some sort.

[caveman0101]

Even if you are in bad situation. Try to do

good.

[AwsomArchangel]

@caveman0101 good words

[shaezarian86]

christianity has been terribally warped since it's begining. up till the 3rd century christians did believe in reincarnation

[Ekaboodante]

And it's scary how much it's currently changing. Money and power have corrupted pure intent of religion. I appreciate Yogeeshashram because of his positive outlook and responsibility through good acts.

[RLore18]

Acharya - you say that if one collects enough good karma, they may "be a king in the next life."

But all kings have ruled by enslaving their population in at least one way, usually a lot more. You say about greed, "the more you get, the more you want", this would lead a king to perform unspeakable acts in order to get more material possessions. No ruler is a good person, nor would they end with a positive karmic balance.

Why be rewarded for good karma with a life that will result in bad karma?

[Frogstomp121]

A king or ruler can do good things also you know. It is not fair to paint them all as power hungry or abusive. Some are actually quite selfless.

People who choose to be kings may be souls who like being in control and bringing their ideas into fruition. They may like it becasue they are surrounded by resources and oppoutunities that a common person would not have. They may do it because they simply like helping people.

[dobsondale]

did you read platoes ideas on the ruler i think you would find it agreable

[chith1890]

Karmic has all the answers to the life in this planet. Once you know a little bit of it you will be able to see the future. People who oppose Karmic theory are ignorent of Karmic theory and dont want to test it by inplimenting n ones lives. To check any Indian philosophy one has to take many strains and tensions and need to live very orderly which is not possible by people influenced by the western materialistic culture. Christianity/Bible is completly corrupt and teaches nothing but Buddhism

[jazz1bro]

One thing I see through prayer is that too many beg instead of being courageous enough to tell the truths and to accept the consequences. I see evil folks get quite rewarded because they are dishonest. They might be praying to stay in power and keep all the money they earned by being dishonest a..kissers. They often expect others to kiss their a.... like they do others. One reason I'm listening to this man's wisdom. I believe in divine order.

[hirogigin]

i was laughing about the chip inside of us...very true coz when we dead that can be shown to us when were in the other side of the world of what you are doing during were on the earth!!!

[KrypticAsylum]

Heheh. The laundry metaphor was funny.

[clarkemeraldwebster]

i believe karma and reincarnation punishment and reward we learn no one can remember but we have feelings from past life's

[zarthoshti]

Karma is unlogic, because i cannot believe that a handicaped Child, is guilty because of a bad former life, because the child mad things in a former life? i don't believe in this punishment, its nearly the same like heaven and hell in christiianity.

[creamer288]

Its not necessarily unlogic because of this, in fact alot of people would argue that to say this child is handicapped because 'it was just bad luck' or 'the way it is' has far less logic in it than Karma. There is also a lot more to it than 'do good things and good things will happen'...theres alot of tedious causation, philosophy stuff

[pi6lemeto]

Also karma is passed through generations and sometimes even if you do good things bad things will happen to you.

[pdecrinis]

I have only one problem with karma. You recieve the results without any transparence. It is like to be imprisoned, but nobody tells you why you are imprisoned. Nobody cares to tell you even a lie. You have to find out by yourself. Very rightful by Tschibo (äh Shiva!).

[connor2444]

yes exactly. and you don't even get to find out until you die. and then when that happens you forget it all anyway when you are reborn.

[allen0088]

i also believe karma has importance in this realm but only to a limited degree....good karma will give u good things in return in this life.

[PhilipEbanks]

If that's so, then why do good people like Stephen Hawking suffer from terrible afflictions like near total body paralysis? Was it because in some "past life" (which, like karma, is fake) he was an ass and karma made him severely disabled in response? Karma is the Eastern answer to the Biblical teachings of do EXACTLY good things or else you'll be punished and they're both asinine to the extreme.

[allen0088]

we suffer because all things are allowed in the universe.....this is why satan is free now to do what his wilt....on earth we suffer because satan is allowed by God or Prime Creator to do what he wilt until final judgementment, the same with humans, but the Bible teaches us that those who relay on their own understanding is a fool...thus, doing your own wilt is like satan being that you are your Own god.

[bassist4141]

I believe in karma, but I also do believe in God. Just because there is pain in this world doesn't mean he doesn't love you or not exist. I believe through these pains we grow stronger and we learn to appreciate the things we have.

[jpandyaraja]

they say karma is an automatic software

programme created by God...

[4905]

I think alot of people mistake good karma for a message from a god or gods.

[slaviKn17]

karma is bullshit because true power is ONLY achieved through TESTING THE LIMIT'S OF ONE'S ANGER..

ITS SITH PHILOSOPHY

[jpandyaraja]

wht is sith philosophy ?

[bassist4141]

star wars

[rebel4peace]

In a sense, yes God is almighty. We can't understand his ways, that's different story. He can create or destroy whatever he desires. God is the owner of everything manifested in the universe, including our souls.

[rebel4peace]

I think wanting good karma will bound you to this material world, in the other hand if you do your deeds out of love for God as devotional service. Everything we do we can offer it to God and remove the karmic reaction. Karma is the root of all sufferings, so we don't want to get entangled with this energies. We want to attain liberation.

[jpandyaraja]

how did u come to this thinking ?

did u check out a number of philosophies ?

[sanju1703]

Namaste Acharya

The Hindus say there is an individual entity which reincarnates from one life to another, which goes through and accumulates karma. However, the Buddhist believes that an individual entity is an illusion projected by karmas and hence, there is no individual entity to reincarnate. It is only the karmic stream, which moves on from one life to another that manifests different body mind organisms (which, we call entities) at different points. Can you please clarify the confusion

[yogeeshashram]
