   This is a blog from a friend of mine that I would like to share. I find it quite thought provoking.
  

  Hope you enjoy it. Let me know what it brings up for you.

  Cheers.

   

  "There seems to be a lot of bulletins etc going around that explain why karma doesn’t exist and the reason given is that a loving God would not impose such a thing on us.

   

  Firstly this relies on a very religious belief that God is a being who acts as we do but is the boss, he is divine and so we gotta worship him etc – Monotheism. So why does this God create so much crap in our lives? Why are some stinking rich and others starving to death, and a million other questions that would all very clearly point toward such a God being hatful, virtually evil, certainly sick in the head.

   Pantheism on the other hand takes the view that God is everything, a living force, a universal consciousness etc. One that exists under certain conditions such as polarity, cause and effect and what many would call the laws of physics, others may say laws of nature. These are all part of a divine ‘structure’ that kinda make things work, although aspects of such may alter in different dimensions.

   So God doesn’t sit there thinking ‘I’ll make it rain for 40 days and 40 nights’, but in the nature of existence one thing leads to another I.e. the world would be thrown into darkness if a super volcano erupted, this may well lead to an ice age, sea level would decrease and sometime later; areas of land that were exposed would become flooded. This is not an act of God, its nature.

   Polytheism is the belief in many Gods and goddesses. Pantheists would view such as Masters, more evolved beings, more advanced civilizations etc that to us might well seem all powerful and thus divine in nature. These include monotheists ideas about angels and such; yes they may exist but they aren’t sent by God, they are of other dimensions, souls that have progressed through the third dimension and onto other ways of existing and experiencing.

   Secondly; its often said that karma is unfair. How are we supposed to know what we did in a past life that is now resulting in crap happening in this life, we don’t remember, its not fair. Well we do remember, however we are educated to forget by a very false society, which has largely been shaped by religion. Is marriage natural? Nature says we are ready to have children at about 11 – 14 years old, we are not because society teaches us to be children rather than being ready for life at that age. So who is wrong – nature or us? We don’t remember past lives because we have forgotten how to live this one. We constantly fight nature, which leads to many social and psychological problems in life. Nature’s jungle has been replaced with an urban jungle and so on.

   Karma is about balance, it’s not about punishment. There is another distinct difference between religious perspectives and those of a pantheist outlook. In the religious scheme of things God is our judge, whereas many pantheists, spiritualists, mystics etc would say we are our own judge. That is to say our soul holds the scales, our soul or higher consciousness / soul personality dictates a path of experience in each life and some of the reasons things happen is a matter of learning, experiencing while ever trying to keep a balance (karma).

   These three vowel sounds say a lot about Karma:

  KAH - healing (as in ‘car’) or KAE (as in car key cay-eee)

  RA – Masculine

  MA – Feminine

   Masculine and feminine are essentially polarities, one positive the other negative. This is not to say ‘good’ and ‘bad’, but more the perspective we might take toward a magnet, which forces won’t work without both polarities. Nature shows us balance wherever you look, it is a fundamental law of existence as is cause and effect; Karma not only makes sense but is fundamental."
