Spiritual Will & Karma

Fear of cre­at­ing new karma by avoid­ing action and shirk­ing respon­si­bil­ity only increases your karmic debt. Karma is the Law of Cause and Effect, a law which can­not be cir­cum­vented. The goal is to sur­pass our per­sonal, small-minded karma by devel­op­ing our spir­i­tual will.

Spir­i­tual karma is when we accept fam­ily, group or plan­e­tary karma to ful­fill a greater respon­si­bil­ity which will bring great achievements.

When Christ accepted the karma of human­ity, it is not that He “died for our sins,” but rather gave us a path­way to per­fec­tion by empha­siz­ing spirit over mat­ter. If the sac­ri­fice of Christ, or any Great Teacher, kin­dles a fiery heart and a will toward good, then we can say He did not die in vain.

“By your own hands and feet,” Bud­dha said. Only by our per­sonal efforts can we ascend into Higher Worlds, where even greater respon­si­bil­i­ties await.

When a great Spirit accepts a spir­i­tual mis­sion vol­un­tar­ily, He serves as a touch­stone for the con­scious­ness of all people.

When we accept, under­stand and align with the spir­i­tual motive of the Teacher, our spir­i­tual evo­lu­tion will increase a hun­dred­fold. This is why we should never run from dif­fi­cult karma, but instead work on our own devel­op­ment and accu­mu­late spir­i­tual treasures.

In fact, dif­fi­cult karma is a sign­post that you are reach­ing beyond the phys­i­cal and mate­r­ial and enter­ing the Spir­i­tual Triad where all your past good deeds are deposited.

The jew­els deposited there will pro­tect and guide you when all seems lost.

As Above, So Below

Karma is action. Each action directed by a dis­ci­plined, spir­i­tual will, that is in accord with Cos­mic laws, affirms har­mony and cre­ates equilibrium.

The so-called “pun­ish­ment or reward” asso­ci­ated with karma is but a reflec­tion of the cor­re­spond­ing har­mony or dishar­mony within the body of man. Man (micro­cosm) is the reflec­tion of the Cos­mos (macro­cosm) which is held together by the action and har­mony of atoms. Man is then drawn to an envi­ron­ment because of an affin­ity to the cor­re­spond­ing atoms.

Hence the con­cept, “good karma, bad karma.” How­ever, it is said that karma can­not over­bur­den a har­mo­nious body. In truth, there is no “good or bad” but merely striv­ing toward perfection.

This gives new mean­ing to the phrase, “Be per­fect as your Father in heaven is per­fect.” Cos­mic evo­lu­tion is depen­dent upon it.
