Karma is justice, balance, an eye for an eye, you reap what you sow. An example of karma. You were a Japanese soldier in World War Two. You participated in many rapes and murders of the innocent in China during the war. You come back as a female who is raped and perhaps murdered. You find out what the other side of the coin feels like.
That is not the only explanation for what happens to you. Not every victimized person "deserves" it from a past life. There are other possible reasons for being victimized. Maybe you have decided, or it has been decided for you, that suffering would benefit you, would make you a wiser or more sensitive soul. Maybe your stupid actions in this life led you to an incident that was not preordained - in other words you were in the wrong place at the wrong time and it just happened though it didn't have to.
There's something that appears to be the opposite of karma. What if the same shit keeps happening to you, at the hands of the same rival soul, over and over. Someone keeps victimizing you in one life after the other, running a similar script each time. That is another possibility. Why would that happen? You are working out your relationship with that person, and neither one of you found a way out yet, a way to a better result. But you both keep at it. This is someone who is always around you in heaven, someone in your group, and you keep banging heads here, and probably there too.

I disagree Lbno, I think one is a "vitim" if one only allows thmselves to be. I do believe we reap what we sew, but that is also of our own doing. I do believe we do keep coming back to learn something, but it has to do with ourselves. I don't believe that "souls" butt heads as we are all a part of energy/love. well, that is what I would like to believe. good post. -

great post! I think that we do agree to show up here and "represent" the conflict for one another...like we agree that the conflict will be good for whatever it is and that the person who is our soul sister/brother will be a certain way for the conflict to come to fruition. Or we will stay stuck with a certain position in order for "them " to get something...Gary Zukav describes this well in the Seat of the Soul book....have a great day! -

I liked the post, too - I have never really understood or subscribed to the traditional meaning of karma. I have more of a yin/ yang viewpoint. I think we do learn from these situations, and quite possibly, are provided these opportunities based on what our spirit requires in order to expand ... but I also think that the negative experiences can be transformed by the power of love inherent in each of us. Reap what we sow, yes - but so often goodness does not necessarily come back to us. Other people sow evil. If we repay evil with evil, it perpetutaes ane enlarges. If we repay evil with good, as Jesus suggested, the "karma" is transmutated.Thanks, LFB - this really has me thinking - Wish -

One problem I have with the new age books these days is that they often seem preachy. We're here to learn to be good. Sorta like Jiminy Cricket. I guess there's a lot of truth to that but I also guess that it is simplistic and overdone. Outright cruelty, and also utter selfishness, ought to be things we're here to eliminate, but aside from that, I don't subscribe to the whole "make yourself perfect and become one with God" stuff. I think "nirvana" is a pile of garbage. I'm all for imperfections. I think the best thing to do with some perfect Buddha is kick him in the ass til he yells at you and gets really pissed off. -

"I think the best thing to do with some perfect Buddha is kick him in the ass til he yells at you and gets really pissed off."I don't agree, LFB - but this made me laugh so hard, my coffee almost came through my nose!I do agree that we can never be 100% perfect. That's God's domain, but I also think that most of us are no where near our full potential.BTW - I am pretty sure Buddha himself would have never yelled at you. Jesus either - He would have turned the other (ass) cheek - LOL. You see? This is why I can never be God. Give me all that power, if you kicked ME in the ass, I'd strike you down with a lightening bolt or turn you into a pillar of salt. -

That's what I call out to the tv when I watch a martial arts fight on tv. "Kick him in the ass!"
