Early Menopause Wiki

Destination: here, now! [Part 2]

Paul Brunton states that, “Thoughts tend to be creative and sooner or later it produces karmic fruit in our general environment. It is not necessary for your thoughts to translate themselves into deeds before they can become karmically effective. If they have sufficient intensity and if they are prolonged over a sufficient period they will eventually bring [appropriate] results even in external circumstances. [...]

People should be warned that cause and effect rule in the moral realm no less than in the scientific realm,” he wrote. “They should be trained from childhood to take this principle into their calculation. They should be made to feel responsible for setting causes into action that invite suffering or attract trouble or lead to frustrations.” [4]

v

Accidents do not happen by accident. In fact, they do not just *happen*.

v

Accidents are created inside our energy field. On the one hand, they are the karmic by-product of thousands of years of karma while on the other they are the by-product of however many years we have already celebrated in this lifetime.

v

Death, setbacks, illnesses, melt-downs, all in their many forms, are not mere confirmations that Life Sucks and Shit Happens. These blow-outs are orchestrated by our soul.

They are the only ways she has to get out attention when the time has come to force us to rethink our modus operandi.

Isn’t it only once we are stopped ‘dead’ in our tracks that we are finally willing, albeit under duress, to reassess our priorities?

v

As agreed in regards to the soul – if we have an energy field, as we do, what is its purpose?

Why hasn’t it been evolved out like any other feature that became redundant over the millennia of our evolution?

v

I have come to take seriously the reality of our aura a.k.a. our energy field as intrinsic to karma and it is where the quality of our presence in the moments gets encoded.

v

Lip-service, self-righteousness and doing the right thing because pressured to do so do not seem to register as bona fide amendments.

v

Amending karma is not a matter of mind over matter.

It is more of a matter of energy over matter – the *matter* in question being the gross matter in our energy field.

v

It is our responsibility, as our soul’s current incarnation, to amend some of the karma that she has accumulated during the millennia and certainly to amend the karma we have contributed to our energy field for X amount of years.

v

It is generally accepted that toddlers do not have an ego as such, not until they are about seven years old. But, of course, there are always exceptions. How else to explain child-murderers? I imagine that what triggers action so early in life has got to be something encoded in their energy field – a strong karmic debt hanging from another life – no different from those triggered in an adult killer.

v

Just as it is not generally understood that, just as our entire life is hard-wired into our energy field, which operates like a software and holds the code to our karma, so, too, it is our earthly karma to override … our karma.

v

Karma is not about us suffering, literally, any god’s will. Karma is about self-actualization and, aptly, its literal meaning is “doing.”

v

Just like the sea in itself is neutral, neither good nor bad; just like a pizza in itself is neither good nor bad to ingest, all occurrences that come our way, in themselves, are neither good nor bad.

When we respond to them in an energetically balanced way, they remain balanced.

Love is only love; duty is only duty; family is only family - but tip either by reacting mechanically – through the usual range of negative energy spikes and Me-first behaviors - and out come their evil siblings; jealousy, possessiveness, dependence, authoritarianism, extremism – as ways to control the other – the one we love.

v

Love is love but when we mishandle this love by turning it into a possession/obsession, we alter its very nature and like the mad alchemist, we turn it into bitterness, even bitter hatred.

Similarly, the mishandled love of a god can turn to a fanaticism that excludes all reasonable thinking.

v

We forget about the duality of the physical world, and when we try to separate one attribute from the rest, its evil twin perks up.

v

Every action triggers a counter action - a reaction. There are no exceptions to this rule.

Put simply for now: if we pull back a branch to get through a forest trail, we should be mindful of how that branch will snap back into its original shape.

If we prune a branch, it will grow back producing many new branches.

If we do not water a plant, it will die.

If we merely tap the surface of a pond with our hand, we will create ripples.

If we throw a rock into a pond, we will create a splash.

If we let anxiety, anger or bitterness rule our emotions, we invite cancer into our cells.

If we chose to reduce the natural Side Effects Of Menopause by taking HRT, we invite in much worse, chemically induced side effects.

And the list goes on and on. This list is as endless as all our combined efforts to manipulate our moods, our lives, each other, our society, and the world beyond.

There is no such thing as an action that does not trigger a reaction.

The duality we experience within the physical world is as inescapable as the duality that reverberates to and fro from the physical to the spiritual.

v

Psychological fears are unhelpful as they play with our imagination and taint the context – the present moment.

Fear is good when we fear Nature's eruptions or a wild sea or when trekking solo in the wilderness.

v

As long as we flow one moment at a time, here now, and keep our energy field neutral, harmony is preserved - Karma is not disturbed.

v

Let us imagine that karma editing works like editing of topics in Wikipedia.

Let us imagine that our main topic is broken up in two sections:

1. Our karmic destiny – the one inherited at the instant our soul picked us as her vehicle.
2. The karma that we have created for our selves through each of our interactions with whomever our life has already intersected in a myriad of synchronistic ways.

Let us observe how our main topic on Wiki is being edited daily, many times a day.

One erratic entry from me will attract, magnet-like, another unavoidable entry from someone else - action/reaction - as unavoidable as the polarity of two magnets.

Basic magnetism works on the simple principle of attraction and repulsion. The north pole attract south pole, just as the south pole attract the north pole.

v

Inasmuch as I understand the principle, it seems that only a few elements in the periodic table are attracted to magnets.  None of the elements, taken separately, make permanent magnets, though they make more adequate temporary magnets when close to another magnet. Similarly, the fact each one of us is attracted to certain individuals, certain locations, certain pathways, or even certain foods must stem from that inner software that is destined to lead us towards a specific goal because, supposing we were born as blank as a blank sheet, wouldn’t we be attracted to everything and everyone, willy-nilly? Or to nothing at all?

Beyond what parents try to instil in their children, often without much long-term success, it is our soul and therefore the karmic software that has been hardwired within each one of us, pre-birth, that define our ego-persona.

v

Once we begin to establish a firm connection with our *soul* moderator, we begin to write in new entries and these appear to no longer be editable by others.

In other words, our field of energy is upgraded and aspects of the old software are disabled.

v

It is only by taking charge of our own program that we can release ourselves to varying degrees of past karma, conditioned and nurtured *bad edits* to become freer souls, attracting different people, different situations and different outcomes.

v

Our destiny, our karma, is to resist being pricked and energized by the shrapnel of past events that we carry barely below our skin and to simply *get over them* or beyond them, but in an energetically wholesome manner.

v

Should we fail – no harm done, as All Is As It Should be at any given moment. No matter how many bad entries we have missed, we can always have another go at them tomorrow.

v

Karmically speaking, anytime we kick into the ‘me first’ or ‘mine first’, we blow it – no matter how many old ladies we have helped across the street.

v

Time to inject a little humor into this topic.

Many of you may know the story of a Scout leader telling her little group that at least once a week they ought to do a "good deed".

At their next meeting Chrissie, a ten-year old, was the first to volunteer an answer. "Me and four of my friends, we helped an old lady across the street.”

"Oh that’s lovely, but … did it really take five of you to help a little old lady cross the street?"

"Yes, because she kept pushing us off saying she didn't want to cross the street in the first place!"

If there is a lesson in this, it is that a string of random good deeds, alone, is not going to make us good people.

v

I have to admit that my personal conditioning has made me a rather self-centered sort of person, very much into the ‘me first’ pole position.

However, I have come to realize it is my ego, my sense of separateness, that is flawed and that it sometimes leads me to flawed ways of thinking, reacting, being and needing.

Since I have begun delving into this business of the energy field that surrounds us all and the more I read what great Thinkers have to say on the topic, the more I am now convinced that IF we can indeed alter the quality of our energy field, over time we can edit our karma.

Sure we can, but only IF we can accept that, separately and collectively, we are not truly the *individuals* we think we are; there is nothing *unique* about any one of us.

v

We cannot be truly unique, as some of our thoughts are inherited from our previous incarnations, while others are passed on by our parents, teachers, the societal values in which we have grown up, and our own experience of life so far. They are even influenced by those of the group from within which we have chosen to rebel.
Indeed, even if we are rebelling, no matter how we are going about it, in how many ways is our rebellion truly unique?

About the Author

By day, a teacher of Senior English and French in Brisbane, Australia, and, by night, a writer of spiritual material, I am on a quest of sorts – I am searching for a connection to my soul, right here, right now. Admittedly, I have an ulterior motive – quite a strong one at that: I am trying to edit some karma out of my energy field by altering its properties. This, from me, who a couple of years ago thought about my soul as often as the molecular composition of my body, which was never. Should you wish to read my articles in their original format, in most cases complete with illustrations, and within the context of the index pages C.C. on Destiny, feel free to explore http://www.ccsaint-clair.com/index.php?menu_id=1079&page_id=1764 FYI, I am not selling anything; no workshops; no massages; no seminars; no retreats; no crystals and no books on spirituality. There is nothing on that index that can be bought 
