NOBODY ESCAPES THE LAWS OF KARMA AS THE LAWS OF KARMA APPLY TO ALL
The 12 Laws of Karma
What is Karma?
Karma is the Sanskrit word for action.
It is equivalent to Newton’s law of ‘every action must have
a reaction’.
When we think, speak or act we initiate a force that will
react accordingly.
This returning force maybe modified, changed or suspended,
but most people will not be able eradicate it.
This law of cause and effect is not punishment, but is wholly
for the sake of education or learning.
A person may not escape the consequences of his actions, but he
will suffer only if he himself has made the conditions ripe for his
suffering.
Ignorance of the law is no excuse whether the laws are man-made
or universal.
To stop being afraid and to start being empowered in the worlds
of karma and reincarnation, here is what you need to know about
karmic laws.
1. The Great Law
“As you sow, so shall you reap.” This is also known as the “Law of
Cause and Effect.”
If what we want is happiness, peace, love, and friendship, then we
should BE happy, peaceful, loving and a true friend.
Whatever we put out in the Universe is what comes back to us.
2. The Law of Creation
Life doesn’t just happen. It requires our participation.
We are one with the Universe, both inside and out.
Whatever surrounds us gives us clues to our inner state.
Be yourself, and surround yourself with what you want to have
in your life.
3. The Law of Humility
You can’t change something if you refuse to accept it.
If what we see is an enemy, or someone with a character trait
that we find to be negative, then we ourselves are not focused
on a higher level of existence.
4. The Law of Growth
“Wherever you go, there you are.”
For us to grow in Spirit, it is we who must change, and not the
people, places or things around us.
The only given we have in our lives is ourselves, and that is the
only factor we have control over.
When we change who and what we are within our hearts, our lives
follow suit and change too.
5. The Law of Responsibility
Whenever there is something wrong in my life, there is something
wrong in me.
We mirror what surrounds us, and what surrounds us mirrors us;
this is a Universal Truth.
We must take responsibility for what is in our life.
6. The Law of Connection
Even if something we do seems inconsequential, it is very
important that it gets done as everything in the Universe is
connected.
Each step leads to the next step, and so forth and so on.
Someone must do the initial work to get a job done.
Neither the first step nor the last are of greater significance,
as they were both needed to accomplish the task.
Past, Present and Future are all connected.
7. The Law of Focus
You cannot think of two things at the same time.
Because of this, when our focus is on Spiritual Values, it
is impossible for us to have lower thoughts such as greed
or anger.
8. The Law of Giving and Hospitality
If you believe something to be true, then sometime in your
life you will be called upon to demonstrate that particular
truth.
Here is where we put what we CLAIM that we have learned
into actual PRACTICE.
9. The Law of Here and Now
Looking backward to examine what was or forward to worry
about the future prevents us from being totally in the here
and now.
Old thoughts, old patterns of behavior, and old dreams prevent
us from having new ones.
10. The Law of Change
History repeats itself until we learn the lessons that we need to
change our path.
11. The Law of Patience and Reward
All rewards require initial toil.
Rewards of lasting value require patient and persistent toil.
True joy comes from doing what we’re suppose to be doing,
and knowing that the reward will come in its own time.
12. The Law of Significance and Inspiration
You get back from something whatever you have put into it.
The true value of something is a direct result of the energy
and intent that is put into it.
Every personal contribution is also a contribution to the Whole.
Lackluster contributions have no impact on the Whole, nor do
they work to diminish it.
Loving contributions bring life to, and inspire, the Whole.
