Everybody talks about karma as it is a part of our everyday life and everything we do has consequences to karma. If you step on a fly you carry karma, if you eat meat your carry Karma, if you have people who hate you its your Karma, if someone stabs you It’s your karma.
I’m a full-time psychic and healer. I see lots of people each week and I often feel saddened at how some people use the word ‘karma’ with no real thought about the consequences. Last week I met a wonderful lady who was broken to pieces inside. Her doctor told her she had cancer, so she began to search for answers. She came across a ‘so-called’ spiritual man who told her that the cancer was her karma for something she’d done in this life or a previous life. When I hear this time and time again I feel a great deal of pain for these ill informed people.
What’s more, I’ve learned that many people assume karma is a part of our day-to-day life and that everything we do has consequences. They believe that if you step on a fly you carry karma, if you eat meat you carry karma, if there are people who hate you it’s your karma and if someone stabs you, then guess what? Yes, that’s your karma too. However, I feel that karma doesn’t play a part in our everyday lives and here’s an illustration of why I hold that belief.
One evening after a full day of future readings I locked my studio doors and walked along the pavement. I heard screaming ahead and noticed a couple exchanging bad words. The man lifted his hand and punched the lady in the face. She fell to the ground and as this drama unfolded I had to choose what to do for the best. A few days beforehand I’d gone to see a Baba at a temple who spoke about karma. I stopped and thought about karma and remembered all the wise Baba’s words. I tried to piece them together as I watched the man lift his hand for the second time and smash the lady in her face. I remembered that the Baba indicated this was their karma, so I said to myself, “If this is her karma why am I standing here watching? Is it my karma to watch, or is it my karma to stop this?” As the man raised his hand again I couldn’t help myself, I ran over, grabbed him and pushed him to one side. “That’s the last time you’ll hit her,” I said. The lady stood up quickly and screamed foul words at me. Where was the karma? If karma exists in everything we do, how do we differentiate between helping and not. If I stopped this lady from being hit, surely I’d interfered with karma. If I wasn’t supposed to interfere, surely I shouldn’t have been there. Or if I was, what part was I meant to play?
If you believe in karma you wouldn’t have interfered with the couple fighting. Others who believe in karma would say it was your karma to watch this couple. So where does karma start and end? I believe that it doesn’t start or end because there’s no karma to begin with. Life is tough and simply put there are times when we’re in the wrong place at the wrong time.
We can’t go around preaching karma at the lowest point in people’s lives. If someone seeks answers because their child has just been killed in a car accident, it’s not karma, it’s an accident. This child and everyone affected by the loss of this child have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with karma. If it was karma we’d know and feel a deep understanding within our souls. And I can assure you, the word ‘karma’ never sits well with anyone who has just endured a tragic event in their life.
If something were to happen to you or your family, friends or pets, never allow anyone to tell you it’s your karma. When we accept words of comfort and understanding we can release negative emotions from our mind body and spirit. I feel life should be uncomplicated. If you complicate anything it’s only because there are no real answers.
Karma has no real meaning within our souls. It’s like telling a child off and the child asking, “Why?” to which some people may answer, “Because I said so!” We only understand and accept words when they feel right.
