Karma is not a dirty word

Since we are trying to think and say positive phrases, we may say Karma can be good.

Karma is like a boomerang: you throw it out and it returns to you. Thoughts and actions are like that: they return to you, both the good and the bad.

Karma: what goes around comes around; you reap what you sow: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. What you do unto others will be done unto you. For every reaction, there is an opposite and equal reaction. The phrase “you get what you give,” is another explanation. We reap the good things, too.

Moses brought law and order to those going with him. That law and order was needed is evidenced by the Ten Commandments given to him, and further evidenced by the story that the people were already disobeying the law when he descended from the mountain and they were worshiping the golden calf.

  Footnote: the Egyptian time was the Age of Taurus, hence the calf. Moses brought in the Age of Aries, with sheep as the animal and symbol. The worship of the calf was worshiping the past in addition to worshiping an idol.

As Moses’ law developed, the phrase “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth” can be understood as teaching the law of karma. That it became extreme is also true.

My belief is that karma is ours, not someone else’s. We may have had a previous life with someone, with the roles reversed this time. However, the karma itself belongs to us, not the other, it is our action boomeranged.

We tend to think of the difficult relationships or challenging situations as karma. That is true.  Do you ever think of the good in your life as karma? Can you think of your good relationships as reaping the good that you did for others? Have you experienced a good, surprising situation? That is your good karma.

Your life can be managed for your good by “paying it forward.” Doing what is good for others sets good up to return to you, It may take a while, but the good will return. As an experiment, can you:

    ★    recognize the good in your life, both relationships and situations.
    ★    do good, or pay it forward, and recognize when it returns.

When the good returns, you may know good karma is yours, too.

About Verbs and Words

When we speak, we use verbs, which describe the action of the subject. Your mind, or subconscious, hears verbs as commands. That means when your mind hears a verb, it wants you to act upon the verb, or do what it impels. Your mind usually hears the verb, not the words around it. For instance, when you say or think a verb, your mind tells you to do what the verb commands.

You want to have positive results of your speech. This means to do something, not to “not do something.”

One of the most-used “negative” uses of a verb is the expression “don’t forget.” What does your mind actually hear and want to do? Forget. Could you instead use the expression remember? How many times do you hear, “never forget,” when instead, “always remember”would be a better choice of verbs, urging you to remember.

What expressions do you use that would urge or impel you to do something you don’t really want to do? Can you re-phrase them, using a positive verb, to manifest the result you want?

Related to verbs are words to describe yourself. How many times, in frustration, do you call yourself unflattering or demeaning names? Like “dummy” when something you are trying to do is not working. Could the expression rather be, “I can do this,” or, “I can learn this,” to urge your mind to do it or learn it, instead of dumbing yourself down? There are many expressions used that can be re-phrased to manifest the desired outcome instead of focusing on the difficult.

Try it in your life and see how it works out.
