    Karma Explained, OMG FN Xlent

    Just finishing this vid by Matt Khan and massively impressed, have explained or tried to explain this to people over the years but now after down loading this, an aha and omg moment enjoyed >

    Deserves its own thread, just like the Way out of Pain vid and I Don't Know vid imo.

    Lol, is also a wee bit like a comedy show at times.

    This blew my mind because it confirmed for myself the why and Ys of karma, still levels above this like purpose for eggysample.

    If one has already done the fufulling of oneself ( lifetimes ) or service to self as such, then they come in service to others, sensitivity already, that felt on the nail for me.

    I always wanted to be everyone's friend. My parents, and life, had to teach me that not everyone wants to be friends. Some don't want to help or be nice. They want to take advantage. "It's a dog eat dog world" was a phrase I'd hear.

    I can't change my nature so I just have to be careful.

    I really like the way you put that, Aianawa. Finish with the service to self so you can do the service to others right. I currently know someone who desperately needs to take care of themself before they lose the ability to help anyone else.

    I didn't listen to this immediately and it is WOWOWOWOWO pertinent.
    The ego has to feel bad about something.
    Right things on the wrong spiritual path=more insecure by the minute

    What a wonderful vid, Aianawa. Thank you.

    Much more enjoyable than the 'Doctrine of Karman in Jain Philosophy' (a real stinker to get through) and 'Thinking and Destiny' by Harold Percival. Kahn's approach was so warm and human and simple...it really touched my heart.

    Indeed, is in my top five vids of 2017 and top ten for me understanding my actions in life ( going with it even though not understanding why ).

    Aianawa et al - Have elected to make a comment first and then I will view the video link in the opening post. When I was younger (am at the stage of life when I can say that with true meaning) I thought the word Karma in a literal sense was a valid concept. With view to a simplistic mode of thinking: You hurt someone on purpose with no remorse and no apology - that type of example - then the negative energy/action/whatever would come back at some point in time.

    As I grew up and matured I started to really think deeply, critically about the word Karma and its meaning. I could not for the life of me get my head or heart around the concept of a Child suffering in any way - especially from birth. Did not make sense to me at all. The other end of the spectrum: An elderly person who lived the best life they could and they died a long drawn out painful death. Did not make any sense to me.

    Then I reach the stage where I enter the awakened state and I learn to interpret the paradigm in which we currently live. The multi dimensional, chaotic, fiscal based, war mongering pain filled paradigm - that - to me is a complex jigsaw that I have to work at - in order to understand it properly.

    I also actually read some articles that suggest the word Karma is a made up word. Just sharing what I have read along my journey - does not mean I am right and others are wrong. Have also read that the word 'Conspiracy' emanated from the Neuro Linguistic Programming department of the CIA or maybe it was that certain Institute that is based in London.

    So - in essence - I no longer view the word Karma or the belief system that accompanies it - as a valid concept. I can however get my head around the concept of Humans who reach a certain level of Wisdom and who live a life of service in an attempt to help out as much as possible. Following on from that - where does that leave us as a Global Community in terms of psychopaths and narcissists? They are pathological liars and have no remorse. Their numbers are growing rapidly and when I first learned about the term Narcissistic Personality Disorder around 2006 - the estimates were about 1/2 out of every ten people were narcissistic. My understanding is that the estimates are now around 4/5 out of every ten people.

    Just wanted to share my initial thoughts before I view the video. I will view the video today and we'll see how my cognition reacts. Thanks as always Aianawa for your thought provoking threads.

    Much Respect - Amanda
