Who Decides Where The Babies Are Being Born.

Noble thoughts. Thank You for reminding.

I did like the Manager part. I too join in the demand !!

Hello Friend,

The Manager is You! You have existed since beginningless times and until you become enlightened like the Buddha, you will keep coming back, and your new life will depend upon your actions. No one else, but your own actions determine your next life. You may "repay" for some bad actions in this or your next life, depending on when the conditions are ripe. Karma cannot be forgiven, but you can "build" a wall of good karma by doing good deeds to keep away your bad karma. So simply do good deeds. Some day, certainly, you'll have to repay for the bad deeds, but the more merit you accumulate, the better lives you'll live. It is that simple.

Hello bellaMD

Well, if i am the manager, then this life is the last one i come into, where i fumble around for a large part of it until i 'get it'. I refuse to invest time and energy in that type of existance. My view is that, to be 'forced' to pay for something that i do not recall taking or doing is deceitful. To be at the mercy of karma, to where it feels ''the conditions are ripe'' for one to repay their debts, is, for a lack of a better word, inprisonment.
Now, my opinions, are just that, mine. One out of an unmeasurable number of opinions. It's laughable, because they won't change the views of those that believe in karma, or will they 'hurt' karma itself, or are they intended to hurt or convince otherwise :)

My other opinion on karma is that the explanations i have been given, are too simple for a unbelievably complex existance. Our minds and bodies are easily manipulated, because all is energy, it can be directed in whatever direction that whoever has the 'power' to control it sees fit. For example :

A peaceful protest, of 200 people with 'universally' good, honest intentions can be made to turn violent. Like christians overcome with the holy spirit, their bodies shaking, speaking in an unheard of language, peaceful protesters can be overcome with..........., a SPIRIT. A rush that makes one do things they have no INTENSION of ever doing. Something so strong, it washes over and renders docile the personal strength of good hearted human being.
I would like to know if karma has a way to dealing with this very common occurrence.

I like to cover all my bases when im trying to understand anything. I do not ask questions to try and discredit anothers beliefs or views. I really hope you get to see that :) I'm really asking to understand, with respect and love.

I absolutely appreciate your response and you giving your knowledge on karma freely. I am thirsty for more :) When you wrote ''The Manager is You!'', it was very inspiring and positive. This is what i recieved from your post.

THANK YOU :)

Dear Friend, blessings to you and thank you for opening your heart and sharing your thoughts. I wrote that the Manager is You, as what we experience is a result of our thoughts, intentions, and actions. Most people can’t recall past life deeds and experiences, but sometimes there are fragments that give us a clue of some familiar place we don’t recall to have visited this life. We have had many many lives and are evolving. Today, we may not think we’ve done certain things, but to survive, or for our family’s survival we do things we may not think we’re capable of. All of us have done them and still doing them. Thus this is what we’re living. We must not think in terms of victims or victimizers as the law of cause and effect has to have these both in order for a lesson to be learned. Today, the law of cause and effect may use you as a victim and tomorrow as a victimizer. So what to do? Know that what you’re experiencing today, you have planted the seeds for, and that you can always plant good seeds for your future. Believe me, some days I wonder what in the world have I done in the past ☺ The most important thing is to do no harm, and when we can, to help other people. People come here from many different places to learn tough lessons. Some are more aware, some less. Because of that, what I consider wrong and non-beneficial, someone else may consider just. So you see, this place is complicated. Some think eating animals is just fine, other would consider the pain the animal has to experience as a living being when it’s killed. So there are different levels of awareness, therefore everyone thinks he/she is right for him/herself. But like the wise book says, even the worst sinner can become a saint, which means we can all reach higher levels and with that our understanding of life will change. Some people naturally want to improve, others, due to heavy influences and weaknesses will take longer.
What about the peaceful protest you wrote about. I don’t know the details, but yes, this too is a karmic play, a very fancy one, and there were certain roles in it. Karma was repaid. Were you there? I wasn’t, so it wasn’t my lesson. It was a lesson for all of those involved in it. Does the Spirit cause people to do bad things? Well if it comes in a big bottle (lol) No, only demons can cause a person to turn violent, not the Spirit.
Thank you for listening to my insight ☺
