I was studying a few pages from New Dimensions in Healing this morning and found the following interesting series of ideas on the Law of Karma.
"Bad karma makes you miss opportunities. Opportunities pass in front of you, but you do not see them. You hear things, but you do not listen to them. You observe things, but you do not understand them.
"In the Core of the human being there is a timetable for his evolution. For example, in this life he must reach the summit of that mountain when he is twenty-one. At age thirty-five he must reach a higher peak. At age forty-two he must reach the summit of an even higher mountain. At age sixty-three he must reach a certain initiation. If this timetble is not met, he will meet many difficulties, complications, and sufferings to keep going and meet the timetable of his evolution. And if he cannot reach it, his karmic tax increases for the next life.
"You must remember that without the permission of your karma, you cannot be initiated; it is your merit that initiates you."
"1. Bad karma creates diseases, accidents and even death. People must not blame life or others if bad karma hits them. Grace, which is a result of the contents of your Chalice, diminishes bad karma, protects you from many dangers, and prevents dark attacks.
2. Bad karma destroys your magnetism, your attractiveness. People begin to leave you alone. Your helpers and co-workers disappear. People reject you and ignore you.... Increase your magnetism with good deeds, and you pave the way for your prosperity and health.
3. Bad karma weakens your intelligence, your creativity, your insight and foresight.
4. Bad karma results in depression.
5. Bad karma prevents you from coming in contact with higher spheres, higher realities.
6. Bad karma delays your liberation.
7. Bad karma prevents you from meeting your Inner Guide or your Master."
"King Akbar used to do very dangerous things. When once he was asked why he was risking his life, he replied, 'Nothing will happen to me if I am protected by God. If not, let it happen."
