Debts and Payments-

Hi Folks!


How have you been?!


If you feel sad, unhappy, bored at any time, mentally snap your fingers and go to any joyous memory of past.



Stay with it.


Smile.


When you feel your spirits uplifting, experience that lightness of being some more.


Then give it away to anyone who strolls into your consciousness.


Even more faithfully and large-heartedly if that person is the root cause of your anger or discomfort!


You will feel good about yourself !


And start to attract happy thoughts.


Some times, - actually, many times, though maybe at an unconscious level, we are addicted to the Poor-Me syndrome.


We really would'nt know what to do and would surely trip, if everything went our way!


Shall I give you my definition of Karma?


Its a Boomerang!


Bound to come back gathering more speed and power along the way !


A thwack, or a warm kiss, as the case may be!


So let's feel peace and happiness and forgiveness inside us.



And thats what will come back to us.




Now lets get to 2 great questions-



Arun says, how do I know what debts I have to pay in this life, and to whom?



Believe me, Arun, at a sub-conscious level, they do !


You remember the post on Pre-Birth Choices and Agreements?



And do you recollect the one on The Stages of The Soul's development?


When we are at a primitive stage of development, specially in the first 2 or 3 Stages, we operate out of fear.



There is a lot of insecurity and anger and vengeance too.


The moment we die, we turn right back and take birth as soon as possible because its the only world we know and feel comfortable in, even if it has been rather nasty.


And this is where we make our choices for paying off our debts.


In cash or kind, as the case may be.


Our Pre-Birth agreements ensure that the other person knows it too.



So as a small or big part of each of our life's plan, there's this clearing and squaring to be done.




The problem comes when we come to the place where all this is supposed to occur!



The Earth and this birth!




We do not remember, and are extremely hurt or angry.


Well.


If someone is consistently nasty, if we are in relationships which we can not get out of and are hurtful, if unhappy things keep happening consistently, understand that this is your chosen pattern to break.



Lets see a few examples-



A daughter-in-law came to find out why her mother-in-law ill-treated her right from day-1.



It had been an arranged marriage too.




In a past life she saw herself as the son, a prince,who was extremely selfish and greedy and who had made his mother's-the queen's life a living hell. He tormented her for the throne which he wanted immediatelyto such an extent that his own mother had cursed him.



She had said she would make sure he would not be at peace and she herself would ensure that !





I made the prince apologise profusely to the Queen until she forgave him.



Of course she did, and the best part was-




This lady's mother-in-law called her up out of the blue, crying , and said- 'you are the best of my 4 daughters- in- law. I really dont know why I behaved so badly with you. You are like my own daughter' - and thats how the relatioship has been since then!



The mother-in-law still does not know the root cause, or that it was removed -and there is no need for it too.





So sit back calmly and think of the patterns in your life.


Someone insults you or distrusts your abilities all the time?

Your love is not returned?



A lady saw herself as a young man devoted to the Divine path, quite ignorant that a girl loved him.

The girl had felt angry and insulted.

In this life, the lady loves her daughter-in-law like a daughter, but there's only a snapping anger and bitterness from her.

In the session, when she explained that she had not meant to insult her and asked to be forgiven, peace started to descend on the household.

Debts and lessons can really be complex!

You keep losing money?

Fizzling relationships or abusive partners?

Your spouse loves you but does not trust you?



A man went into a very happy past life with the same wife when, out if sheer boredom, he'd committed suicide and left her to bring up 2 young kids in difficult situations.


You think she's going to come back to him any time soon in this life?!



Sure she loves him, but the trust?



He's earning it now,as he goes on clearing the stupidity from other times and the debts are paid off.


There's also the lesson of learning the value of a stable and calm mind to be absorbed deeply.


All of us need that.



If you can get to a Past Life Regression Therapist and on to that past life, its Bull's Eye.



Even if you cant, meditate.


For that calmness.



Believe that there is a Big Picture.


Forgive.


Ask for forgiveness.



And remember there are your good patterns too.


Think hospitals, suicides, orphanages, addictions, destitutes, hunger -


and you will know how well you have behaved.



If you have not come with any or more of them,you have behaved well enough in your past/lives to not to have to choose them as lessons in this lifetime.


Now for Mitali's question.



Supposing one is not thinking of how one will benifit someone else, only of not harming another.

Is that good enough?

Not harming another in thought, speech and action is hugely important.
More so if they have or are harming you.

If A hurts B and B ensures he/she is not hurt, thats a lesson learnt too.
Maybe getting out of sticky situations calmly is the chosen lesson.



But then, there is also no METTA, which ensures you speed up on the evolutionary path.

Its like your 'jogging-on-the-spot'.

You stay right where you are but have some kind of an exercise.



The real test and lesson is when you can wish sanity and peace to the tormentor.

It works powerfully if our own mind is open to slowing down, to calming and meditating.

So long for now, folks!

The next post may be after a month, Im going to be away from the comp off and on.

Life's wonderful, enjoy it.

And send me your Metta!

Love-
