Do you guys believe in Karma?

[lovemonkey]

I don't fear repercussions, I just think it's an extremely easy thing to do to take a few seconds out of your day to make someone feel better about themselves if even for only a few moments.

Well, to make it short karma is about some type of "higher energy" making sure you get what you deserve according to whatever standards society has at that particular time. What some people might call "bad karma" today may not have been the case 100 years ago which just furthers adds proof that it is nothing but old philosophical thinking being pushed as some new-age bullshit.

What you've done is just become a nicer person and that's great! I just think it's unnecessary to invoke any type of "karma" in to that.

Your Karma Will Run Over Your Dogma: How Karma Works

Sooner or Later, You're Dancin' With the Reaper

We are Karma Chameleons. While on Earth, you are living in the worlds of reincarnation and karma. Believe it or not, karma begins & ends with love.

Karma begins to propel you as Soul on a personal journey through the universe. Karma ends when you have perfected yourself in your ability to love.

So What is Karma? As Soul you are eternal. You have past, present, and future lives. To grow in love, joy, and awareness, you reincarnate into a series of physical bodies to experience different existences. You have been or will be both sexes and all races, religions, and ethnic types throughout many lifetimes.

Karma Defined: Karma means that "as you sow, so also shall you reap" in this and other lifetimes until you understand the complete consequences of all your actions. Karma is the principle of cause and effect, action and reaction, total cosmic justice and personal responsibility.

The 4 Different "Flavors" of Karma: There are 4 different types of karma that you are always working on:

Sanchita Karma: the accumulated result of all your actions from all your past lifetimes. This is your total cosmic debt. Every moment of every day either you are adding to it or you are reducing this cosmic debt.
 
Prarabdha Karma: the portion of your "sanchita" karma being worked on in the present life. If you work down your agreed upon debt in this lifetime, then more past debts surface to be worked on.

 
Agami Karma: the portion of actions in the present life that add to your "sanchita" karma. If you fail to work off your debt, then more debts are added to "sanchita" karma and are sent to future lives.


Kriyamana Karma: daily, instant karma created in this life that is worked off immediately. These are debts that are created and worked off - ie. you do wrong, you get caught and you spend time in jail


"Resistance is Futile": As Soul, you experience a constant cycle of births and deaths into a series of bodies until you have learned all the spiritual lessons that the totality of all experiences have to teach you. Until you have learned, you will find that "resistance" to the rules of karma is "futile".

great post.

i believe in karma. 

[Parker]

I believe in Karma. and it's true,  if your a crotchy mean person, that mess gets thrown back to you. And have you ever met a genuine good person, and after you've talked, you have a positive vibe from that point on?

[The Ugly]

Just curious, how come there isn't a shitload of bashing here from the science-minded religion haters? Invisible energy force that rewards the good and punishes the bad?

Keep it up, Danielson, whatever it is.

[wavelength]

Anyways, my New Years resolution was to make 3 random people who seem depressed/neglected feel just a little bit better about themselves everyday.

Getbig is a better palce because of your great humor and you have made my day many times! Have a great weekend, danielson!

There are cases of little kids remembering past-lives. One boy remembered going down in a plane in WW2, remembered the type of plane, where he was stationed and the name of at least one guy he served with who happened to still be alive at the time. There are a lot of cases like this. People speaking languages from past lives while under hypnosis, etc. Fun shit. Reincarnation was also a part of catholicism until Emperor Justinius had it removed. A friend of mine's mom told him when he was a kid he was always talking about getting shot and "that disease".

[Stavios]

I don't believe in Karma, I always help a lot of people (friends and family member) and most of them try to fuck me up.

I am starting to be very sellfish these days, I don't want to help anyone anymore (exept my parents if they need it)

[Eisenherz]

Good post Gracie!
Thats why I would never commit suicide, the thought of having to repeat the same shit again and not moving beyond it.

And there are cases of people personally meeting jesus and there some that claim to have been abducted by aliens. The human mind is capable of a lot of things.

I'll bet ya that 99,99% of those stories are anecdotal/legends or if not, weird coincidences. Waaay more likely than there being some sort of higher energy playing judge on us. This whole karma superstition is very easily compared to religion.

And it's outright impossible that could just be the result of basic human interaction. 

No there has to be some sort of "universal order" or "higher energy" making sure you feel better when you've met a nice person. 10 seconds later that nice person could very well be hit by a car and die. But hey, karma works in mysterious ways!

that whole reincarnation, previous lifes and stuff is very interesting! where did u hear about the boy with the ww2 plane?

One researcher on past lifes didn't feel karma played any role in it at all. That part is sketchy. Also there doesn't seem to be any direct involvement from a God. It's researched by scientists, and hypnotherapists among others, but I don't know if this is the kind of thing that could be peer-reviewed and recreated in a laboratory.

Coast to Coast AM. A radio show with a lot of new age and paranormal topics, which I download torrents of, but here's that Little boy story being debunked, or at least an attempt http://www.reversespins.com/proofofreincarnation.html I rarely scrutinize what I hear on there as it's more fun not to.

For any of this past lives things to be true there has to be some sort of soul or "energy" going from one body to another. Hmm sounds familiar doesn't it.

Sorry man but this is also a perfect example on why this can be compared to religion. Any idea how many "scientists" try to convince people of creationism?
