Karma Is Not What You Think It Is

Understanding this eastern principle of cause and effect

Hey there dear reader, I hope you are doing good!

In this post, I want to talk to you about Karma. I am sure you must have heard of it. The eastern spiritual principle of cause and effect.

Karma means doing.

As simple as the meaning of this word is the principle behind it.

It states that whatever action you perform, will be reciprocated by the universe back to you, in the form of situations and/or circumstances of your life.

However, truth be told, the response from the universe does not depend on your action in itself. The universe, being a big photocopy machine, replicates on the basis of your internal vibrational frequency.

The point that I am trying to make here is that the universe does not respond according to your actions per se. It responds to the vibrational frequency under the influence of which you perform an action.

For example, giving money to someone who is in need of it would be considered a good deed. A deed of such kind is likely to attract some form of abundance from the universe.

However, if you do this ‘good deed’ being in the negative energy field of lack, believing that the universe is now going to make you rich, it is not going to happen.

So, the belief that always doing good things, or somehow accumulating enough good deeds is only going to attract positive situations in your life, represents a half-truth; and hence, often leads to misconceptions.

What you need to do here is to become aware of your internal state prior to performing an action of significance, an action through which you are trying to manifest something in your life.

Doing this will put you in touch with your sponsoring thoughts and in turn, your internal vibrational frequency as well.

This recognition will prevent you from haphazardly manifesting things/situations in your life.

It will also prevent you from experiencing any confusion or frustration when you face situations in your life that are the complete opposite of your actions.

Thanks for reading. May you shine bright with the light of the universe!
