The truth about the Karma Bus

There are so many ways that bus seems to run us over right ?

Its a bit of a weapon really

More of mass confusion in my opinion, and here is why….

We try – well as least I try – not to wish ill on others.

Have done in the past I can honestly admit.

Now my strategy is far less taxing energetically.

I figure the universal laws will sort that out

“Nie mój cyrk, nie moje małpy”

But how do we justify the hurt and unfortunate circumstances that befall so many who no matter how many ways we look at them, don’t deserve what has been dished out to them

We all know people like that

And to be honest, you are probably people like that too.

Life can really dish it out cant it?

Heavens above…

Growing up we try and work out what we did to deserve stuff

As we mature we start to reconcile the things that we got caught up in and potentially weren’t personal no matter how personally we may have been affected.

Doesnt mean the experience was any better – just that it wasn’t our fault or – here it is – our KARMA.

I like this article about Karma which loses me a little in the middle, but its light and ends making sense

This one is deeper and really sorts out a bit of rubbish which I LOVE – so NO, we don’t balance it like a bank account.

Remember the ’emotional bank account’ we all aspired to balance in the 90’s…

And it’s really a way to consider your moral compass.

What feels like the right thing to do even is shocking situations. Do that. Trust in your judgement.

So getting real for a second.

I can not tell you how heartbreaking it is to watch a strong, vibrant man succumb to aggressive cancer at 57.

Thats a raw deal in anyones language.

I am sure he would be the first to tell you he was quite the shit at times in his life, yet wow there is no way to explain that as a balancing act.

And what of everyone else who lost him ?

The truth about Karma is we use it as an explanation, a weapon, an excuse.

We might assume we are paying for something we did in another lifetime or want to ensure we don’t have to pay for later.

That sort of thinking can waste so much time.

And heres why I think that.

Our moral, ethical, emotional and soul centred compass knows right from wrong.

We should trust and choose and should stop worrying so much about paying back and paying forward.

Karma is really about energy. Not agenda.

What we get in this lifetime we may or may not pay for, or gain from in another.

What about now ?

Choose well now. Deal with whats in front of you and don’t let a ‘concept’ steal your moments.

Help others if you can and acknowledge the now.

Make your best decision and acknowledge when you were less than.

Make up because it’s right, not because you want nirvana later.

By its very nature, you will likely get Nirvana later for being good.

Be a good human now.

Be grateful for what you have and who you are even if you cant see the value in yourself like we all do

Be Kind. Now.

To yourself too

Be a kind human now.

In every moment.

I mean think about it….how that would play out if thats everyones every moment.

Now I am not daft and know thats not how everyone will behave.

Yet if we centre in on ourselves, the steps forward and moments we can control, then we should be getting Karma credits anyway so our bets are hedged.

You aren’t everyone else but you are an important part of ‘everyone’.

So let’s start with each of us…. and trust that the rest will flow
