What does it mean to have no karma? I've been read 3 separate times. Twice by my dead aunt (one before my birth, one after), and once by a reliable psychic just recently. My aunt's readings of me stated both times that I have no karma. My latest reading was through tarot cards, and apparently I could be one of the 11 Buddhas. Could someone please enlighten me as to what having no karma could mean?
In Hindu/Buddhist terms, having no karma means that you have transcended the pleasure/pain fixations of the material world, and are free from the cycle of life and death. If this is true for you, you didn't need to reincarnate again, and the fact that you did means that you have returned to be a spiritual guide to help lead others to enlightenment. Zen Buddhists say that EVERYONE is a buddha--though not everyone becomes aware of their buddha nature. The signs you've received sound convincing--the mystery is why you seem to lack spiritual understanding of their meaning. The mystery doesn't necessarily negate the signs - there may be a reason you've chosen a path of partial blindness in this life, in spite of your underlying spiritual freedom. And maybe what I've told you here will make some of your experiences suddenly clearer.
I do not lack the spiritual understanding, I only wanted to get a few more opinions on it as I already know I am just not 110% certain. My aunt explained that I have come here for my own reasons, I did not have to return. My tarot reading explained that I am on the path of knowledge, except, not a normal one. I won't be satisfied till I KNOW EVERYTHING, every little detail of knowledge that exists in this Universe. Something to do with me being a source of knowledge for the Universe and the Akashic record. The reading explained to me that my path is veeeeeeeerrrrry long, even if I've already reached enlightenment, I play an important role in the grand scheme of things.
After I wrote and posted my previous statement, I started to wonder if I had made an incorrect assumption about you lacking spiritual understanding. And though I gave you the standard party line regarding what Buddhists say is the purpose of a boddhisatva, I started wondering if that was maybe not true in your case, also. I couldn't sleep tonight, thinking about your note, so I thought I'd get out of bed and see if you had replied. I do get a sense of solidity in you that I don't feel in very many people, especially as young as you. The idea of the akashic record is fairly new, not rooted in the ancient texts. That's the party line, again. As for me, I believe that the universe consists of awareness, and everyone is connected to that awareness in some way, though only a few can access much of it directly. There have been a few gifted folks - Mozart, for example, and maybe Frank Zappa LOL - who I believe could draw from certain aspects of this awareness as if it were a well in their back yard. And I believe that psychic experiences are examples of people tapping that awareness directly. So it seems to me that if your spiritual path is to know everything in the universe, then your path is the same as my own desire: Complete union with the creator - the awareness that is the continual wellspring of creation. This is the very definition of mysticism. So please do tell, if you're willing - where is your path taking you in this life, so far?
At this moment in time I do not have a straight forward path, no "set" goals . I seem to have chosen a life of somewhat hardship, a path that'll allow me to absorb as much knowledge as possible. I seem to care more about others than myself right now, although lately I've been working on connecting with my spiritual self. Recently I experienced Astral travel for the first time. It scared me shitless, needless to say, but it intrigued me how fast I could travel - almost as fast as the speed of thought, if not as fast. It overwhelmed me and since than I've been working on developing my ability very slowly - baby steps as I am still frightened by it. I'm currently reading several Tuesday Lobsang Rampa books, if you have not read any of his work I highly recommend it.
Hi Bl4 A couple of thoughts you might want to consider. 1. Karma, everyone has this place of awareness within them. This is a reciprocation of the give, and take in life. Sometimes one can be out of balance, thus the judgments of good, and bad karma. Sometimes a person chooses to live with limited understanding for the purpose of the lessons, and experiences they wish to face along this life time. The challenge is some people get attached to the emotional feelings, the pride within them, and or blown away by the phenomenology, (the wow factor). Often the ego is seen from a place of self aggrandizement, a place of miss understanding, and is unable to act as the ally in the persons best interest and growth. 2. When a person goes for a reading, and the reader says they have no karma, they are referring to the persons reflection, often based on the intensity, or passion of the path they have chosen. Sometimes your path will choose you, but only if you are in a place of being able to do the work assigned to the path. With out a direction you would show no energy, or fire from within and thus appear as having little or no karma. All knowledge is in the akashic records, and accessible. No one form, or individual would take it upon themselves to learn all knowledge, as we are always in the process of eternal change. What is new today is often already headed for a metamorphous. Thus what you learn, is as the wise man said, only that which you have lived. I may know many things, but until I have lived many paths, all I do know is only knowledge, and offers a cold awareness in the end. 3. Great people do not start out pursuing greatness. They find a way to make every step they take count for the purpose intended. They do not wait for the proverbial lightening bolt to strike them. As we honor our steps we become our path. Thus as spirits having a human experience, what we have come this far to understand is, we are only as sacred as the path we give our self to. 4. There are several reasons a persons aura, and energy body show no karma. Sometimes the glare from our own wishful thinking blinds us to the deeper truths inside us. As the saying goes, ( To be remembered for a book written, one must first write the book. ) (For one to be remembered for the life they lived they must first live the life.) The greatest lie ever told is the one we create within us. What does all of this have to do with your post. Just awareness that when we stand in our own shadows we often miss the light of the truth, not always in what we say but within what we do. We will see others with the same eyes we see ourself. So to help others, heal others, and grow in our own spiritual nature we must come from wholeness within the wholeness of the path, and the steps we take. Each choice, or non choice is still a direction. To face our fears we must learn how to first face our self.
I believe you've misread my original post. I was read through numerology/astrology and other ways by my aunt, TWICE, once BEFORE I was born, and one soon after - I have no memory of the readings. Thus your post misrepresents my situation, I think.
That his post does, though it was a fun little read. I think Znegizmo put it better than I would have, good luck with it.
I've never heard of Tuesday Lobsang Rampa - I might check him out. I have an 18-year-old stepson who just bought himself a car last week. The day after he bought it, someone pulled out of a parking space as he was driving by, and ran into him. (Very minor dent.) Two days later a girl came into the sandwich shop where he was working and told him she had just bumped his car in the parking lot. (Also a minor dent.) He's working his butt off because his old man (me, not to mention his biological father) can't afford to pay his college expenses. But what I feel for him is joy, because I see that his spirit is giving him hard experiences to make him stronger, and I see him rising to meet the challenges. I have a recommendation for you - have you ever watched the movie Fight Club? My stepson recommended it to me a few months ago, so I rented the DVD and watched it. In addition to laughing my head off, when I got to the end, my mouth was just hanging open in amazement. And then I had to watch it again - and again...not only funny, but deep psychological and spiritual insights as well. And I believe one of the best fruits of spiritual development is a wicked sense of humor. I've never experienced astral projection myself, but there are lots of folks hanging around on this board who have - if you're interested in getting their insights, you might consider posting a new thread on the subject. I've experienced some other amazing things that have scared the pants off me, though. I sometimes would like to take things slower than my spirit guides want me to. But I think they WANT me to experience having my pants scared off. I admit I wasn't sure about you at first. But your even, level reply to Old Crone and your observations about your path so far show depth and transparency. I hope you'll hang around this forum once in a while - I'd enjoy hearing more from you.
QUOTE: "What does it mean to have no karma?" Hi Bl4 I took you at your word. In response to your search for knowledge, and to answer this question You asked about karma, was why I posted my above response. I was just sharing some reasons why a person appears to have no karma. People often assume having no karma means being perfect. This is not the case.
Wow, some very astute postings here. My 2 cents worth - the Universe is a boomerang - energy out=energy in - that is all karma is & totally self-imposed. There is no "outside authority". You can leave this planetary system and return after 2000 yrs. and you will jump into the energy sea you created the last time you were here. This is why some people think "I have worked so hard at enlightenment, I'm a good person, why are these nasty things happening to me". They are gifts you give to yourself. We want to clean up our funky energies to move on. And it doesn't have to take time - time is an illusion we created to measure the movement of particles in space. So in the twinkling of an eye we could raise our frequency and receive that back. I would beware of other people's definitions of your process. Take it all with a grain of salt, meditate on it, put it on like a hat and see how it feels inside. When it resonates with your core vibration it will feel right. It's not what you "think", it's what you feel with honesty. Our minds can gloss over deep feelings that may not be very pretty but essential to our growth. Zen, I thought your first post was right on and perfect because I noticed it brought up a little ego twinge from Bl4. This is one of the most important things we have to do here. Everybody has ego which is merely our persona, our ID card this life. The game here has been to "forget" who we are and give our power to the false ego - it causes separation and suffering but is just an experience. We are All That Is, so we are brilliant/stupid, beautiful/ugly, enlightened/the dark side, etc. It's a humbling viewpoint to meditate on. There is no where to go and nothing to be - there is only the eternal Now synchronistically laid before our feet in utter perfection for us to follow.
Thank you PD--keen insights and excellent points, as always. Regarding the "ego twinge"--I saw what might have been an ego twinge, and then I looked at it differently and saw that it might not be, so I decided to withhold evaluation until I had more evidence...and I also thought that sometimes it does more harm than good to draw attention to someone's ego twinges, PD...sometimes if you come in through the back door, you can bring some things into the house that the owner wouldn't have allowed if he saw you coming in the front door...and it is also sometimes an ego twinge to point out somebody else's ego twinge... LOL But you know, you just have to laugh, because it is all so human...
Yeah, we only know ourselves and the more I accept all facets of myself the more I understand others. I have seen a lot of people want to be something great and that is ego. You know the old saying "if you see Buddha on the road, kill him".
There's a difference between having No Karma and reaching Nirvana and Enlightenment, both which I've tasted, but haven't quite reached neither. I've escaped the cycle of life and death. I've learned more these past 2 months than I have in my entire life, it feels like I have gained a plethora of information/knowledge. I know what my purpose here is, I wish not to state it as I don't want to come off as an ass. It's weird, I know things, like, I KNOW the answer however, I do not know how I got the answer, but I know it. I'm just glad that my spiritual awakening happened at this age instead of later in life. I've learned how to read people - with Tarot cards and without, it seems I've had a natural ability for it all along, it just hasn't come to fruition till just recently. I know this would be hard to believe, but I can actually feel/see a persons Aura. I know what my destiny is, and I think it is important, but it is not for my own personal gain, it is for the benefit of others and this planet. I have a balance in my life and spirituality, I am content with myself, I have developed many tools to help me on my journey that I have learned through past reincarnations. I am just now starting to tap into them, but they feel like second nature to me, I just needed the heightened awareness. It seems I MUST KNOW everything that's possible to know, but I can't just know it, I need to know every little exact detail. I am a very logical, analytical, person. Not only do I need to know something, I need to know the why, how, what, and every little detail in between. I've been told to be careful with my thirst of knowledge as I will get stuck on something and spend eternity trying to figure out something I just can't. I will fail many times, but eventually I will exceed. This is why I choose to reincarnate even though I am free from the life and death cycle. Now, please don't be offended by my post, I do not claim to be smarter or on a higher level than any of you, I am not trying to sound like an ass, I am just explaining my situation alot clearer, something I should have done to start with. Whether you believe me or not, is up to you. I've also just recently learned how to tap into the Akashic record on different levels. Through using books as a medium, and my own instinctual way. I've been communicating with a spirit that is caught in limbo at the moment, my bestfriend's dead brother. And before you start, I am sure this isn't a Fool, mimic, mock or evil spirit. He is currently in tune with the Akashic record and was able to help me find my way. I kid you not, it is an experience out of this world. It's literally insane, I can't even handle the amount of knowledge being thrown at me, I need to give myself a rest for a bit. I feel so much pressure on me, I can't handle all this at once, I feel like I'm being flooded. One question however, what does everyone think of Demons existing as their own entities and attaching themselves to humans/objects? I have a close friend who currently has an attachment and his girlfriend (who is a medium, in her early 30'ies) requests my help as I have a strong positive influence on things around me. She feels that even though I am 17, I have the will power, mental capability, knowledge, and strong spirit to help combat this Demon. I asked my father for advice and he's into all this and at first he acted suspicious and stated that attachments do not occur. This lead to me showing my evidence and proof and he told me the only way to rid of an attachment is through Positive energy, will power/determination, and riding the person with the attachment of fear as fear feeds the Demon - similar to a troll haha. Anyways, any helpful advice on the matter would be GREATLY appreciated. Aswell, don't think less of me of my age, as age is just a number and nothing else. heh, it's pretty interesting though, I've gained alot of knowledge since my last post, it's frightneing how fast I'm absorbing all this information. Can anyone relate?
I've been learning alot through self-discovery and others lately. Something interesting I found out about myself, I've set my life up very specifically before coming here, however, I sense there is something I did not expect, something that'll surprise me and throw me off course. I've got no clue what that could be, no one has been able to help me with this. Maybe I'm not supposed to know? Idk but I'd like to be able to predict big surprises, I'm drawing blanks here.
The most amazingly talented spirit guide I have had so far was only 19 when I first met her. Physical age is meaningless in relation to spiritual development. If you could predict them, or others could predict them, then they would not be big surprises. Apparently your spirit has given you a clue by giving you the sense that there is something coming that you won't expect. My spirit gave me some clues like that also, early in life. They were clues about things I didn't want, and yet they have come to pass anyway.
The snares of the devil are insidious--ego will fool you into thinking you've conquered it, and then suddenly you realize you've indulged in pride over your conquest...the best weapon I've found against ego is laughter, but even that is not foolproof.
Hmmm...I would go along with your father on this, except that I disagree with his original statement that attachments don't occur...not sure why he took that position. Demons (or whatever you prefer to call them) do exist as separate entities, and they can attach themselves to living humans. And some humans who are a lot like demons can also attach themselves to other humans. And some humans who are a lot like angels... But everybody is a combo-burrito of good and evil, and the ultimate trick is to transcend the conscious/subconscious division of experience into good/bad and to merely experience without judgment...not that I'm there, but I've seen it in my dreams LOL. And please do continue sharing on this forum...your posts are interesting and thought-provoking.
Bl4, I too believe age is a no-thing. Instead of having the viewpoint of working to reach enlightenment, I have the viewpoint that everyone is enlightened already and we tone down to have this experience. If we were in our native state and knew everything on this plane, there would be no game. That's awesome that you feel/see auras - it's not hard to believe at all - lots of people can do that. Beware the "thinking mind" - it's okay to observe the energies and how they come together to form various creations but that "figure/figure" part of our mind is the mouse maze we can get caught up in that goes nowhere. When we go there, we leave the Now and are viewing the past. The point of power is in the Now. The being, nonphysical, assumes a point of view and then the physical universe congeals to mirror that point of view. No matter how complex our point of view gets or minute (quantum), it is the same phenomenon. The "MUST KNOW", if it is your excitement to know, is a high frequency that will support you and will be fun. If it is something you "think" you "should" do, it is a lower frequency and will feel like effort. I find we can have frequency variations of the same one thing and have totally different experiences - the bottom line of creation. So observing various tonalities and their effect on self and the physical universe can be very empowering. The Akashic records is Mind - the storehouse of everything past, present and future - what I fondly call "the Soup". It is available to us all. There is no separation - that is only a product of Mind as well. I have red flags that go up in my psyche whenever anything sounds like "outside authority". It is fun to see others points of view and how they put together creation but you are the "author-ity" of your life. Saturn in your chart. I have experienced the "flooding" feeling and it is overwhelming - Mind is infinite, it is huge-r than huge The only way I can experience flooding without feeling overwhelmed is to exteriorize from Mind and just watch it without getting engaged. It feels more empowering to me when engaging the body/mind complex to be highly focused on one thing at a time (laser like focus) as opposed to random scattered thoughts. I have played with a lot of entities - positive and negative. I haven't found one negative yet that can resist love - they either accept it or run like hell because it is blowing their game Some entities will suck off of others because they don't believe they have power of their own. It has been useful to me to throw out mental image pictures of the Love/Light of Home and how we all come from the same Source and have the same resources at our disposal. Bl4, thanks for being on the planet at this time helping with its transition into 4th Density.
Honestly, I am not who I was before. I've gone through a transition where my newself was born - which I like but at the same time I miss the old me. I am causing effect. I'm sorry if anyone takes it in the manner that I'm trying to be disrespectful, but I now know what my destiny is, what my paths are, I know what needs to be done. I've realized what my Karma is, I never understood it, the point wasn't to understand - it was to REALIZE that I REALLY HAVE NO KARMA. My sense of judgement, justice, the balance that I have, combined with my Karma is all pointing to the same thing. LISTEN to myself. My Karma gives me the opportunity to take risks, infact, it's basically telling me - TAKE A CHANCE, risk stuff, it's the only way I'll learn or understand a specific perspective. I will be able to balance myself out in the long run. I used to be scared. The best way I can describe what's happening to me is similar to an evolution. All it took was the catalyst I needed, that my intuition led me to. I'm 17 okay, age seriously means fuck all at this point with me. As soon as I met her, she helped me see what I needed to see. Her soul is well developed, she's an honest, reliable psychic or reader. She doesn't sugar coat. Because I am 17 and she is 30, and I was in my "wrong" state of mind I figured if anyone should do a tarrot reading of me, it would be her. I felt the presence, her strength, but didn't even know it. I went in with an open mind, fuck I even had a bias against it. I tried applying logic to the reading but it didn't work. Instead, it made me KNOW what is right. That was all it took to start my never ending cycle of continuous spiritual advancement. She helped me become AWARE of what really was. Stuff happened to me that night that was really fucked up at first. The first time I EVER Astral Projected myself was that night, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HOW. Or so I thought. I've been backtracking everything I've done. I questioned every fucking thing I knew, I always leave the possibility that I do not know everything. This applies here, because I really do not know everything, but what I am talking about, what I KNOW, I really know. Basically, this whole time I should of been listening to myself, my intuition. Fuck, my intuition is pretty fucking accurate, accurate enough where if I don't know the answer, it gives me the way to it. Like I said, Knowledge is what I strive for. I am here because I chose to come back, I am not here for only my own reasons. My reasons actually come last, I am here for the benefit of Life (god, energy, whatever same thing - REALLY, I'll explain later itself, what Life NEEDS to be done. The transition is near, I am here to make sure that it happens smoothly, that all humanity or what humanity is or the knowledge of humanity. Ofcourse, I am not the only one, but without me, it doesn't happen. It's either going to be done or it isn't. What should I do, no longer has a barring on my decisions. I do, what I do because what I know is solid fact. I've reached a highness with my spirituality that I've done things I never could of imagined. 12 days. 12 days in reality here on earth. All it took was one night to make me aware of my higherself. It took 12 days, I JUST stepped on my path, and I learn that I am the definition of how people need to properly treat people. Honestly, I'd rather die than see someone else not feel what they deserve. I never cared about myself, I cared about WHAT WAS RIGHT. The 12 days that it took me to be able to start working and properly doing what I had to do, were fucking crazy for me. Seriously, I wouldn't sleep for a couple days at a time just because my soul and other higher beings were keeping me awake because I HAD to figure it out. I wasn't living at my house, I was learning everything possible about myself with the guidance of others, older - nearly double my age. I learned alot of stuff through self-discovery, and also through other people and other perspectives. From the start I felt a natural connection with this force, whatever it is. And now, I am the master of my skills so far. In 12 days, I am able to develop my perception of energy and auras. I'm able to feel energy, eveywhere, anytime, whenever I wanted to. All I had to do was REALIZE I'VE ALWAYS HAD IT. Everything I already have inside me, but for somereason I made my mind/brain one hardmother fucking maze. 12 days, I learn about separate entities and attachments to humans. The 2 major people that helped me, were fighting amongst themselves and eachother. Paul had an attachment to him, that was at first thought to be a Demon. Rox, the one who has a direct psychic connection, approached me and asked that I'd observe the ritual to rid of the attachment. I told her I'd do it, even though I've had no experience, I felt like I could handle it. So we wait a bit, see how things go, try and research it a bit, till the attachment's presence was known to me. I felt her perfectly, and I told her I knew she was there, I made her feel uncomfortable, she did not like it. The entity itself stayed with me and Rox after Paul left. We came to the conclusion that it's not a Demon at all. Rox's bloodline was cursed, and this entity follows it. We realized that Rox was Ishtar, also known as Aphrodite and others. However, this was very specific. The entity ended up being what Ishtar lost so long ago. Ishtar is the definition of what love IS, she shut the fountain off along time ago and only now is it possible to be reopen. My main point is, if it wasn't for me, Ishtar wouldn't be united right now. I provided sometype of static that had a purpose and only I could do it. What I've done in 12 days, for ANYONE let alone a 17 year old. I am able to read people, not only through Tarot cards (which If Is needed, I can use it to tap into the akashic record). Honestly, she told me, straight up, that she has never in her entire life seen some one learn, struggle, tare down their entire reality and reasoning in order to build it back up to the way I needed. Even she can see that with me and energy, feeling, being able to sense, and being able to not only read Tarot cards, but do it with what the cards REALLY mean, without any bias, just what is. It's too fucking hard for me to explain on a message board, it's just realllllllllllly stressful for me right now as the path I set for myself, is all about learning more and more, but so much more that it's like, way too much at once. I need to be able to rest, meditate, and look back on the situation. I finally know what it is I need to know, and what I am doing. You know what's fucked, I'm able to change/alter/create reality based on feelings and will. So basically, and this is truer than true right now, I am this world needs right now. I have the choice to throw it all away, my enlightenment is soooooo close, that I know exactly what I need to do and how to do it. I'm not kidding. I need to be heard, it's not that I want to be heard, it's just I have the task of providing what NEEDS to be heard.
