Student Q&A with Guy on "How to Make Your Karma Start Working for You" (4/7/21)
Posted: Thursday, April 8, 2021
Meeting: Wednesday, April 7, 2021
Duration: 34min 20sec
Topics Covered
If we want to change the world we see, then we have to change the way we see the world.
Karma is not just cause and effect the way that we usually think of it. Karma is also permanently tied to our character. The actions that we take cannot be separated from our character.
We are invited to participate in a self-organizing, intelligent, loving universe.
'I' is karma. 'I' being the divided level of self that believes it knows what is good and bad, judging each moment.
Each moment is neither "for" or "against" us. Each moment revealed is "about" us.
Karma is the echo of an incomplete action. It is the effect of a divided level of consciousness that is responsible for taking that incomplete action. The echo is not separate from its source, even though there seems to be time and space between the cause and effect.
The divided level of consciousness separates cause and effect. Our character is the cause of the effect that we experience.
What we need to understand is that cause and effect are not separate. They are connected in a different order of time.
When we act from incomplete understanding, we are going to get an incomplete response.
A real life lesson is inseparable from karma. A real life lesson is the revelation of a yet to be realized limitation in the broader consciousness that all of humanity shares.
What we call an unwanted moment is the reflection of the consciousness that cannot be separated from that moment.
When the student is ready, the teacher appears. What we call the "teacher" in each moment is really the same thing as "karma."
Consciousness is constantly being revealed if we will accept the revelation. Rejection of the revelation will bring the same moment and its lessons around again.
Acceptance of the lesson, acceptance of the revelation, acceptance of the karma being revealed in any moment is the release from the nature that was formerly rejecting the revelation.
The best part of any moment has nothing to do with thought. The best part of any moment cannot be separated from the revelation of the moment. Thought excludes us from the moment of revelation. Thought is a remainder trying to figure out how to become a whole equation.
The most beautiful days are spent not trying to understand it with thought, but instead spent just BEING.
The pain in any moment is not intended as a punishment for what you have been or done. The pain is an invitation to realize the emptiness of who you have been and what you have done and to enter into another order of consciousness.
Properly asking for help is the same as being willing to meet the moment without thought towards it.
