Just when you think you it’s safe to go in the water of life again – you find out there isn’t just one karma that grabs you by the leg. Oh, no! There are four, count them, four types of karma that circle like sharks around your exposed legs dangling in those waters of everyday challenges.
Actually, we have been dealing with these karmas all the time and just never noticed them as such. So let’s list them and see what they are all about and how best to handle them.
Planetary Karma– The Universe, and our planet specifically, have karma. Each are challenged by changes and then forced to evolve. From the Big Bang through the steadily expanding universe, to our own planet’s earthquakes, volcanoes, floods hurricanes, droughts, tsunamis and so on, challenges and the need to change unfold. Living on the surface of the earth means that we are going to be affected by the karmic unfolding of this planet and the universe at large.
Group and relationship Karma – You have probably heard about the ‘6 degree’ theory. Look around at the people you meet and notice that they gather around you concentrically from the inner circle outward -- one leading to another. Our close karmic group is probably no more than a hundred or two, and you have been with them before in other lifetimes; perhaps not all of them all at once, because some leapfrog and skip here and there to show up centuries apart. This karma will also include the country you live in, its government and laws, your financial experiences during childhood and adult financial potential.
Body Karma – This is the seeming genetics you are born with and will need to address in this lifetime. You may be tall, short, tend to obesity, diabetes, low blood pressure, and certain diseases that may show up later in life. These are a given. No matter how spiritually evolved and intense your commitment to God, you will need to address body karma.
Future Karma– Ah, now here is, perhaps, the most important karma of all. This is what keeps resulting from all those decisions we make about being on the planet at this time and place, with the people around us, and the body that we drag along. Choose in each category of karma wisely and the future, instant or infinite, unfolds gently -- but choose carelessly, thoughtlessly, or maliciously and oh well, there will be hell to pay.
Honor mother earth and leave a healthier planet for generations to come. Of which, by the way you will probably be a part in the near or even extreme far future!
Respect your body and be diligent in its upkeep. Forgive its inherent weaknesses and revel in its gifts. Eat, exercise, sleep and generally follow wise health practices and now and then in your next incarnation your birth body will be strong, handsome and balanced.
And as for those relationships that surround you, well, appreciation of the struggle they are karmicly facing and respect for the progress they are accomplishing will bring you true peace of mind now and a start on masterful tranquility for your future -- For that future will be somewhere out there in time. After all, karma will unfold, and unfold, and unfold and. . . unfold. . .unfold. . .unfold. . . . . . . .
