Edgar Cayce On Karma Health Relationships Abilities Genius Free

Karma is neither a debt that must be paid according to some universal tally sheet, nor is it necessarily a set of specific circumstances that must be experienced because of deeds or misdeeds perpetrated in the past. Karma is simply a memory. It is a pool of information that the subconscious mind draws upon and can utilize in the present. It has elements that are positive as well as those which may seem negative.

1 Health, Relationships, Abilities, Genius, Free Will, Opportunities

Although our subconscious memory has an effect and influence on how we think, react, what choices we make, and even how we look, the component of free will is ever within our grasp.

2 Attitudes and Consciousness

Karma pertains mostly to attitudes and consciousness. The Cayce readings did not indicate adverse karmic after-effects for policemen or soldiers who were compelled to maintain safety or were under orders, and had to execute people or employ violent methods in order to accomplish their goals. The readings, however, did indicate severe karmic penalties for jeering mobs during the Roman persecution of Christians, and in particular, a spectator who laughed when a lion ripped out the side of a Christian girl. Neither the spectator nor the mob did any actual physical harm, but it was the malicious intent that they were being held accountable for.

3 "It's My Karma"

One of the most distorted views of karma is the idea that nothing can be done about it, similar to the concept of destiny.

No matter how terrible the predicament, there is always something that can be done to resolve the situation, even if it's a patient smile and maintaining a positive attitude in the face of adversity.

Within adverse conditions often lie opportunity. The Chinese character for crisis '危機', as pointed out by the late J.F. Kennedy, is a combination of the characters of danger and opportunity, which means danger is an opportunity in disguise. The readings recommend taking advantage of what is made available to an individual, dangerous or meager as it may be, and better opportunities will come along once the karmic influences have been redirected. Karma is an educational process. It is important, therefore, that an individual learn whatever lessons are presented to him at the earliest opportunity, or harsher conditions will continue to prevail until he does.

4 Abilities according to Cayce Readings

One of the interesting aspects about karma in reincarnation is that talents and skills are never lost when a person completes an incarnation, according to the Cayce files. Someone who has developed an ability in one life will still have it to draw it upon later through karma. One may be born, for example, as a genius or prodigy, in math for example, if he develops this skill or has been of service now or having done so to a prodigous degree in the past or present.

5 Group Karma

Karma also operates at a group level. Groups include families, nations, and even businesses. The Cayce readings attribute the Spanish Civil WarTeruel, east of Madrid. For an article about the 1820-1823 civil war in Spain, see: Spanish Civil War, 1820-1823 The Spanish Civil War ( 1936 1939) was the result of complex political differences between the Republicans — supporters of the government of t to the Andean genocideGenocide has been defined as the deliberate killing of people based on their ethnicity, nationality, race, religion, or (sometimes) politics, as well as other deliberate actions leading to the physical elimination of any of the above categories. There is committed by the Spanish conquistadores to Latin AmericaLatin America consists of the countries of South America and North America (including Central America and the islands of the Caribbean) whose inhabitants mostly speak Romance languages, although Native American languages are also spoken there. Most freque. It was implied that the combatants were the same conquistadores. Again, it must be said that Karma's purpose is not simply to cause suffering, but to give the individual an opportunity to experience every ascect of life. For instance, if a person has wronged someone in a past life, he will be given the opportunity to experience being wronged.

A core element of Karma is spiritual evolutionSpiritual evolution is the philosophical/ theological idea that human beings and/or human culture evolve along a predetermined pattern. Philosophers that have posited theories of spiritual evolution include Schelling, Hegel, Aurobindo, Jean Gebser, Pierre. It is often said that experience is the best teacher. Certain experiences help to ingrain certain types of behaviour and patterns, such as thinking twice before committing anything wrong by instinct. Many karmic experiences demand simply learning how to behave in a good and proper fashion.

If a group is meant to learn lesson, individuals, whether they consciously know it or not, are imposed with the mission of revealing the lesson to the rest of his group. One particular reading was given for a child who was said to be very down to earth and practical and was born into a family of impractical idealists. The other siblings grew up to be members and leaders of volunteer and socialist groups. This child, however, grew up to be an engineer. There was neither great affinity nor antagonizements between the other members, but the child's character and that of the family were significantly different. When the children grew up, the engineer , however, was more concerned with social issues which could be attributed to the general temperament of the family. Likewise his other brothers and sisters where more down to earth, a trait that could have 'rubbed off' from their brother, the engineer.

6 ReligionReligion sometimes used interchangeably with faith, is commonly defined as belief concerning the supernatural, sacred, or divine, and the practices and institutions associated with such belief. Borobudur, a Buddhist stupa built between 750 and 850 Adriaen and Karma

A certain reading implies that knowledge about Karma (actually about all Cayce readings) is not needed if a person is well grounded in one's faith: 'Does it make one a better husband, a better businessman, a better neighbour, a better artist, a better churchman, if so cleave to it, if not reject it.' Despite teachings of one's faith, people still engage in revengeRevenge is also the name of a 1990 movie. Revenge is retaliation against a person or group in response to a wrong-doing by that person or group. Although many aspects of revenge are similar to the concept of making things equal, the goal of revenge is usu, bitterness , violenceViolence is a general term to describe behavior, usually deliberate, that causes or intends to cause injury to people, animals, or non-living objects. Violence is often associated with aggression. There are essentially two kinds of violence: random violen, etc. Karmically, wonderful things can happen if one follows the teaching 'Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.' The InquisitionThe Inquisition was an office of the Roman Catholic Church charged with suppressing heresy. Their actions and interactions with the local governments are subjects of considerable historical enquiry. Origin The Inquisition was a permanent institution in th, the Inca genocide, Ku Klux Klan activites, etc. were executed in the name of religion, but are incompatible with the concept of a God of infinite love or brotherhood and incur severe Karmic retributions. It is a sad fact that people sometimes tend to use religion for personal gain. An understanding of Karma at this point clarifies that 'God is not mocked.'
