The idea labeled “Karma” seems to be embedded in the universe, and in our own understanding of the universe. We do reap what we sow. What goes around does come around. The other shoe always, eventually drops.
The ancient philosophers both east and west who first gave forms and names to this understanding did recognize the bad news inherent here. If I’m responsible for all the effects of all the actions we’ve ever done, I’m doomed and damned. There’s no escape…
I have great respect for those who take seriously this law of Karma. Yet in response I want to ask, is there any way out of the inevitable consequences? Is there hope of a caveat or a hidden clause in the constitution of the the Universe that will give me a chance for true redemption?
I’ve posted a recording about this question, and one possible solution. Check it out and then let me know what you think…
