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.
