Hello everyone,
I hope you've had a beautiful week.
In today's episode,
We're going to talk about symptom karmic lessons,
Those pesky little egoic lessons stemming from the core karmic lesson that have your head spinning on a daily basis with things we've all been programmed to believe are real.
Symptom karmic lessons actually stem from core karmic lessons.
So if you look deeply at the why to any symptom karmic lesson,
You'll see that it originates back to the core karmic lesson of either self-love,
Self-worth,
Or non-attachment.
Symptom karmic lessons are actually programmed beliefs or value systems put on your ego based on how your 3D incarnation has experienced life so far.
Symptom karmic lessons can be programmed in you via societal norms,
Culture,
Sex,
Gender,
Parents,
Friends,
Work,
TV,
Movies,
Books,
Religion,
And pretty much anything and everything egoically experienced in your 3D life.
For example,
If you have the symptom karmic lesson of boundaries,
It's because your ego was taught in some fashion that you aren't good at putting up boundaries,
Aren't good at holding boundaries,
Cross others' boundaries,
Are too staunch in your boundaries,
Etc.
But if you go deeper into why you have problems putting up boundaries,
Let's say,
You'll see that it stems from whatever core karmic lesson you have and has just become a hiding mechanism that your ego uses to stop itself from the constant feeling of pain that the core karmic lesson brings.
So let's give some examples of symptom karmic lessons.
These can be things such as anger,
Discernment,
Loyalty,
Accomplishment,
Resilience,
Compassion,
Arrogance,
Humility,
Jealousy,
Guilt,
Shame,
Vanity,
Pride,
Integrity,
Mindfulness,
Duality,
Respect,
Judgments,
Addictions,
And on and on and on.
They are lessons that we tend to chalk up to personality traits or things we dislike or like about ourselves.
Symptom karmic lessons are purely egoic programming in which the ego is allowed to take control and a way in which your ego pretends that other things are going on instead of dealing with the crux of the matter,
Which is the core karmic lesson.
Something that's important to state is that you can only have one core karmic lesson,
But you can have symptom karmic lessons that are also the core karmic lesson.
If it seems as if you have both self-love and self-worth as a core karmic lesson,
That's because one of them is acting as a symptom karmic lesson.
As an example,
Let's say you go through a breakup because your partner cheated on you.
You initiated the breakup and you'll never go back to them because they betrayed your trust.
You now feel like no matter what you do or how much you give is never enough to make someone love you.
You just want to be loved.
You want to love someone and have them return that.
It's your deepest desire.
This is a core karmic lesson of self-love.
Sure,
You may feel on top of that that you weren't chosen,
You were overlooked,
You were not enough,
And this points to a symptom karmic lesson of self-worth.
But the deeper feeling is that you need love.
Now if we take the same scenario,
Your relationship ended because your partner cheated on you.
You waver between whether to end it,
Whether to forgive them,
Whether you'll find anyone else.
The feeling of them cheating on you has brought up is absolute and concrete worthlessness.
Like you do not belong here as a human incarnation because you are worth nothing intrinsically.
Then this is a core karmic lesson of self-worth.
Yes,
The wavering on going back and forth whether you should forgive is a symptom karmic lesson of self-love.
But the deep down feeling is that of unworthiness of everything,
No matter what it is.
You always have to go down to the very base of what you're feeling in order to see what the true core karmic lesson is.
Lastly,
On this point,
Everyone,
And I do mean everyone,
Has non-attachment as a symptom karmic lesson,
But it can also be a core karmic lesson.
So how are we learning symptom karmic lessons?
Symptom karmic lessons are learned in two ways,
Through soul family members and through ego degradation.
Regarding soul family members,
This is their entire quote unquote purpose to you manifesting them.
If you don't learn a symptom karmic lesson with a soul family member,
You'll bring in more members to teach you the lesson in different manners.
Also if you've had an ego degradation,
You know that it's the fastest way of learning symptom karmic lessons,
Since you don't have to consciously do the work,
But just let the ego reboot itself.
You just have to be careful that when you come out of ego degradation and you're reprogramming the ego,
You don't allow new egoically unpleasant symptom karmic lessons take hold.
With the practice of mindfulness and non-duality,
The less likely new symptom karmic lessons will pop up,
And you can see that they are there based on societal programming and judgments.
When your ego truly understands that everything just is,
That there is no cut and dry right or wrong,
And you can remain non-attached to your own beliefs and the beliefs of other egos,
The easier it will be to overcome these pesky lessons that stop you from having mental peace.
Until next week,
All of my best and highest vibrations to you.
