Wishing For The Essence of A Thing



When it comes to wishing, sometimes it is better to wish for the essence of a thing, rather than the thing itself. For instance, wishing that a certain person always be a part of your life, might result in you suffering a lifetime of unrequited desire as this individual drains your energy and resources while at the same time resisting intimacy.  It is also a bad idea to wish for a person by name as in “I wish so and so would come back to me.”  You are best to ask for something general such as “I wish for the relationship that is mine by Divine Grace.” Or “I wish for the highest good for both me and so-and so.” This takes the controlling aspect that can cause a negative rebound reaction in your life, out of the matter.

Sowing The Seeds of Good Karma



Love is like a garden. Cultivate the things that you want to grow. Weed everything that does not fit in with your intentions. 

  

If you feel that you suffer from bad karma then the obvious thing to do is examine the garden of your soul. What kind of seeds are you sowing? What kind of finished product does you to harvest the results? What kind of nutrients or support do you need to cultivate these things? It is amazing to me how many people sow no seeds and then expect to just magically manifest itself in their lives. Good karma is a garden that is watered with virtues and careful attentiveness to the thoughts we think and the words we say.

Understanding The Great Wheel of Time



Part of understanding karma is understanding The Great Wheel of Time and how it sometimes takes patience to give positive things a chance to grow. This metaphor is also true of any positive impressions that you are trying to plant in the mysterious dark silt of your subconscious. Simply plant the seed and be done with it.  Have the faith that if something is meant to be it will be and if not, then it was probably bad for you. This is called practicing the law of non-resistance. Fussing and worrying about your karma is merely just another modern state of neurosis.  And if you can blame Fate or karma, it sustains a state of denial that gives you reason to avoid be accountable for your non-loving actions.
 
It is thought that by practicing the law of non-resistance, that one can eliminate all negative karma.
