Self Realization: Beyond Karma, Beliefs, & The Mind
Healing Conversation #1231
— We have many goals as we learn methods for transforming the psyche. In addition to our primary goals of empowerment, freedom and enlightenment, or awakening, we need to add clearing karma.
Karma is unprocessed, undigested experience, old patterns of behavior, beliefs that are interfering with current functioning, items in memory that are not resolved, relationships that ended badly and were not completed, any leftover baggage that you pull along with you. Karma takes you out of your full creative presence and separates you from your true self and your soul awareness, which is whole, loving, and compassionate, awake and enlightened. Karma is anything that separates you from your true self, or causes you to separate from others, or stops you, or brings up fear or anger, or causes you to react instead of respond.
Your mind is your digestive system for your experience. Your digestive system separates out the useful components of the food you eat for integration into your body. Then it excretes what is not useful, unhelpful, dangerous, or toxic. Your mind naturally functions to digest your experiences, integrate what’s useful, learn lessons, build your intelligence, ultimately create wisdom, and let go of all the rest.
However, your mind’s digestive system can fail to work optimally just as your body’s digestive system can fail. Karma will bloat and constipate your mind/spirit, just as accumulated unprocessed stuff will do that in your gut. If you digest the leftover stuff and learn whatever lesson it has for you, you make psychological and spiritual progress. If you don’t, it will continue to bring you the same kinds of experiences, again and again, until you process it fully.
Your job is to hunt for those beliefs that are no longer useful to you. When you clear them, you get back energy – the energy you’ve been using to ignore them, resist them, and keep them buried in your subconscious mind.
Get rid of the stuff you don’t need anymore. You will become lighter, brighter, wiser, and more loving. Who doesn’t want that?
