PATHWAY TO JOY AND HEALING

Before my spiritual journey, I never really believed in this thing called karma.  I was a practicing lawyer and saw criminals walking the streets and corrupt people getting away with things. I even saw my own parents hurting each other, me, and my brother.  With all these horrors I faced and saw in my life, I didn’t believe karma even existed.

Then I began my spiritual journey, and that all changed as I realized that karma is alive and well.  I had several people in my life who hurt me whether intentionally or unintentionally, and apparently, it really doesn’t matter.  Many people will deny to themselves by making excuses and justification about their actions and behaviors.  They essentially deny having committed any harm. This does not appear to matter either.  Karma does not take into consideration the workings of the egos who may create illusions in our lives.

What I have discovered about karma is that for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction, and also known as Newton’s Third Law.  For example, at work, four individuals have threatened me with termination, or filed complaints against me attempting to have me terminated.  Each time, I did not retaliate against them. I answered the questions posed to me about these complaints and answered them factually.

Within three years, three of these individuals were let go or encouraged to retire, and the fourth one is retiring.  In each of these incidences, I did not have anything to do with their departure.  I found out that they were departing just like everyone else. Sometimes, karma is uncanny down to the last little details replicating the wrongs they had done to me, and probably others as well, and I had no control or dealings with their departure.

I truly am a believer of karma now. When you do harm to others, someone else like a third-party will do harm to you. This is how karma works.  What goes around really does come around!  (Copyright 2015 Awakening Journey with All Rights Reserved)
