The Law of Karma (Cause and Effect)

The Law of karma states that for every action you take in life there is an energy that returns to you in kind. The premise is that you sow what you reap. If you consciously choose appropriate actions of kindness and compassion towards others, those same actions will be returned to you in kind. The opposite also applies. If your actions are without consideration for others or the environment, etc. then negative forces will permeate and perpetuate throughout your own existence and experience.

One interpretation of the Law of Karma is that we are caught in an endless cycle of reactivity, in effect imprisoned by our own choices as we react poorly and make unacceptable decisions in life.

However I believe a more accurate view is that we are faced with an infinite number of choices in life. Most of those choices are made on the unconscious level in response to deep rooted survival instincts. And that the best way to take advantage of the Law of Karma is to consciously become aware of the choices that we make in each moment as they occur.

Whether you like it or not everything that is happening to you in this present moment is the result of choices and actions that you’ve made in the past. When you choose unconsciously, it is wise to take a closer look at that decision. Be witness to the decisions that you make and in that moment of awareness that choice will move from the unconscious to the conscious realm.

In every moment there are countless choices, decisions and actions to be taken. Make your choices wisely. When you make that one correct choice it will nourish you and everyone else around you. Make those choices that bring happiness and joy to both your self and others and the Law of Karma will reward you.

We are all held captive by our instinctual need to survive. When faced with the impulse to survive, our choices tend to be self-serving and without concern for others. They lack compassion and are void of any real substance other than the fulfillment of self-serving need and desires. They lack any cosmic energy towards the greater good of humanity. Unchecked, our survival instinct causes the Law of Karma to bring us only difficulty, pain and suffering.

Every single thing that you do on the unconscious level comes from a place of survival and instinctual needs. Consider this very carefully. If you are totally honest with yourself you will see the truth in it. As such, your actions are purely reactive in nature. You are faced with some perceived threat, and in a millisecond countless interpretations are made based on your past experiences and memories in order to determine the safety or threat to your personal well being.

In this tiny time frame we access our past memories and compare, assess, judge, and prioritize our perceptions and make interpretations that lead to our actions. Consequently our actions are based purely in the past. And our past actions are what got us to this particular moment in time in the first place.

So we react to others and our environment based upon the past, upon perceptions that may or may not be accurate. These memories of past experiences are faded and tarnished by time. They may not have even been perceived accurately in the first place.

Remember that all of our perceptions are made as they relate to us. This is dictated by the survival instinct. Consequently our own perceptions tend to be very self-serving and lopsided. Other views are surely more accurate than our own self-serving views. Our perceptions are not made objectively.

So we tend to react to our environment and the actions of others based upon our clouded views of the world. We perceive a threat or some pleasurable circumstance and we react. This is what is meant by being imprisoned in a state of reactivity under the Law of Karma.

This reactive state can be broken by making conscious choices with awareness. By taking a moment to step back to see things objectively and not reacting impulsively from the perspective of the self. By seeing things for themselves as they truly are. Then the cycle of reactivity can be permanently broken and the Law of Karma can finally begin to work in your favor.
