Hello and welcome.

This is Jim Rajan.

Let us speak of Karma and what you can do about it.

There is no such thing as good or bad Karma.

Only the law of Karma itself.

The law of cause and effect.

The law of action taken,

Motion created,

Movement.

Karma does not happen to you.

It is governed by you.

Without you there is no Karma.

No karmic flow and no karmic cycle.

Karma is the action or actions that you have taken in the past,

Presenting themselves as your current life story.

Your life is influenced by other things too,

Of course.

But Karma is the aspect that is in your control.

Karma is cyclic and continuous.

It is past actions congregating into current experience.

How life is and what is happening in it.

And whether that is pleasing to you or not.

Karma is not suffering.

It is simply action actually taken.

Suffering is inherent in life.

And actually suffering is enlightenment.

This is what the old Buddhist scriptures tell us.

Suffering is your greatest teacher.

And mentor.

And it must be used.

Just as life must be used.

But no,

Karma is the current state you find yourself in through decisions you've made in the past.

Plans you had.

But also unconscious decisions you made based on external influence and your own thoughtlessness.

Karma therefore is amazing.

Because it is showing you right now what you need to do.

What you need to change.

What action you need to take to make your life better.

Richer.

Purer.

More refined.

So how do you make your life exactly how you want it to be?

First you must know what you want.

You.

What you want.

Not what others want or what others want of you.

What you want.

You must break out of karmic limitations you have.

Karmic limitations you have set for yourself.

If you continue to repeat past mindless action your future will be the same as today.

With.

Out.

Fail.

You are locked in certain patterns.

Ways of being.

Ways of thinking.

Ways of acting.

And ways of perceiving.

You must break out of this.

You cannot blame yourself.

You cannot blame others.

Blame is futile.

You have no right to blame anyone for anything.

Period.

Karmic limitation is something you have just naturally unthinkingly fallen into.

So break out of it.

All that is necessary is the adaptation of current systems.

Current cyclic movement.

What you put in is what you get out.

So why not change your relationship to yourself and put in in a different way.

To break out of one's karma is to purposefully live differently.

To take defined conscious action.

New.

Different.

Action.

And this can only come from a place of conscious awareness of yourself.

Instinct.

And intuition.

Don't think.

Feel.

Don't think.

Just feel.

Then act.

Act purely in a heart-centered way,

My friend.

Thank you.

Meet your Teacher

‘Just FEEL then ACT’ - these two factors are KEY to reshaping our way of life and avoiding unconsciously habitual old living practices - we must choose wisely and consciously 🤍🙏🕊️ Thank you, Jim, for simplifying the meaning of Karma.🙏💜🌺🌞 ❤️🌻
