The Positive Aspects Of Karma
Each one of us is a spark of the Great Light of the Universal Christ. The same powers and characteristics that are in God are also in us. We are chips off the old block, so to speak. The law of life is love and its first sub-law is the law of cause and effect or Karma. Every action causes a reaction and in somewhat strengthened form returns to its sender in due course. This means that nothing and nobody in the whole of Creation can ever be truly lost. If that is not a clear indication of the Creator’s loving care for the whole of Its creation, please tell me what is.
As co-creators with the Highest, every one of our thoughts, words and actions is a cause and whatever happens to us is the effect of something for which we set the wheels in motion earlier in this lifetime or previous ones. Life itself is the teacher in the great school of our present existence. With the help of the law of Karma the consciousness of every human being is constantly expanding through learning from its own experiences.
In spite of the fact that the law of Karma is not part of the Christian teachings, St. Matthew 7:12 tells us: ‘Whatever you wish people to do for you, do likewise also for them, for this is the law and the prophets.’ A clear reference to the Universal law of cause and effect or Karma, which ensures that whatever someone sends into the Universe anywhere eventually returns to its sender. But again no explanation of what kind of a law is meant here and which of the prophets.
There probably is more talk in our world of the law of Karma at present than there has ever been before, but for my liking there is altogether too much focus on its negative aspect. Considering that the law has been designed to create opportunities for learning and growing, as well as redeeming ourselves and paying our spiritual debts, in my view, its positive side outweighs the negative one by far, because without fulfilling these requirements we would never be allowed to move on to higher and highest lessons. They are definitely in store for each one of us, but only after we have meticulously attended to our karmic duties, fulfilled our obligations to all involved and through this balanced the ledgers of our spiritual bank book.
The following is an extract from ‘The Universal Christ Now Speaks To Us And Our World’ that explains better than anything else the infinite love and thoughtfulness that goes into the whole of God’s Creation:
‘One of the most important things you need to become aware of in your present state of existence is that all life is ruled by Universal laws, My laws, in particular the law of Karma. The wise ones among you, who have already woken up to their true nature, pay particular attention to it. Before I ever brought any part of the created world into being, a loving thought from My heart provided for all My creatures and creations through this law. In simplest terms, it decrees that everything has to return to its source. It ensures that every one of you will eventually be able to return to the true state of your being and to come home into your real nature, which is love. My will has decreed that this should only be possible after each spirit has been ensouled and its memory bank, which is the soul, contains so much learning that its consciousness has sufficiently matured and expanded. You are in your present existence so that you may constantly grow in wisdom and understanding and that you can only do by living through every single one of the experiences that may ever come your way.
‘My justice is perfect and the life I give to you and all others creatures is perfectly balanced. You will be able grasp this better when you come to terms with the workings of My law, as it reveals itself to you in the course of many lifetimes. I am the one who, through this law, makes sure that everything returns to its source and that everything in the whole of Creation balances. The knowledge of this shall be My light for My people, when the right moment has come for them. Through the teachers I have sent to you and your world from time to time, I have always given you exactly the right amount of spiritual knowledge that your individual and collection consciousness could digest. Thus My wisdom has slowly flowed into you over the ages, just about enough for you to cope with at any given time.
‘Such knowledge is the light that in the fullness of time guides each one of the tired wanderers, their spirit and soul, back home into the full awareness of their true nature. The law of Karma is part of My law of life and that is love. I am love and so are you; from love you have come and to love you are now returning. My Covenant with you, My earthly children, from the very beginning, long before your sojourns onto the Earth plane began, decreed that every soul will eventually be safely guided back home into the oneness with Me. That none gets lost or left behind, I have appointed Angels and Masters, guides and helpers who tenderly watch over every step that each child of Mine shall ever do, in all worlds and all levels of existence it will eventually have to explore and learn about.
‘As you, My children of the Earth, descended ever deeper into matter, each one of you over many lifetimes built your own prison of eventually total ignorance of your true nature. Yet, from time to time I sent you teachers who brought you, bit by bit, more of the light of My eternal wisdom. With the help of the light they conveyed to you, you slowly started to release yourself and each other from the darkness of your self-made earthly dungeons. No matter how long this may take for any individual soul, each one in the end is safely guided back into the light of the full knowledge of your true being. From Me you have come, to Me you are returning; My law of Karma sees to it. And when you have learnt to love again, when your only motive and desire has become to love and serve, to give of yourself and share with all that is in your world – the same as I am doing – you will know that you have come home.’
