Summary

Karma is a law of cause and effect tied to emotional charges generated by emotions, thoughts, and actions in this life and past lives. These charges can block energy circulation, cause illness, and attract spiritual harassment that intensifies anger and conflicts. Within families, similar patterns and shared histories form group karma, requiring amends and reconciliation. Each person is responsible for breaking this cycle by recognizing their reactions, forgiving, and accepting others without agreeing with wrong behavior. Undoing karma in one lifetime requires knowledge and great effort to change, seeking attunement to spiritual helpers and helping others with love and cosmoethics.

Source transcript

Let us discuss how karma affects our lives, a subject that arouses great interest. Karma is widely used, even by those who do not deeply understand Indian, Buddhist, or Jain cultures. It is common to hear phrases such as "he is my karma" in difficult situations, such as complicated marriages or dysfunctional families. In unwanted jobs or relationships, we often think that we are paying for something bad from past lives. Karma is frequently associated with difficult situations, as a punishment from which we cannot escape. The first important idea is that each of us is responsible for our own happiness and suffering.

A common question is: who decrees karma? The answer is that no one external to us decrees our karma; we are responsible for what happens to us. To understand karma, we need to consider the energy of our emotions, thoughts, and actions, in addition to the spiritual world and spiritual helpers. All of this is interconnected.

Let us reflect on who we are now, beginning with the flaws that generate karma. Ask yourself: do I feel anger toward someone? Do I become irritated when people are not as I would like them to be? In relationships, we often expect the other person to change, but this rarely happens. When someone disagrees with us or acts differently from what we expect, how do we feel? It is important to accept that people are as they are, not as we want them to be. Even when we understand this rationally, irritation and frustration show that we still do not fully accept it.

When we feel these emotions, we realize that we do not accept the other person as they are. We need to learn to relate to those who are different. If we do not learn to deal with certain issues, we end up, consciously or unconsciously, attacking or hurting other people, harming others and creating our karma.

Karma is an emotional charge, an accumulated energy that brings consequences. We often want people to be as we wish, but that does not happen. Life after life, we act in the same way, creating enmities, hurting and being hurt, carrying this emotional charge. What breaks this vicious cycle? Knowledge and evolution. We understand that we do not need to remain bound to our suffering and to the karma that brings difficulties. We can evolve and reach a new level of consciousness.

Accepting people as they are and learning to relate to them are part of our evolution. The difficulties we face often come from people close to us, such as family, which we call group karma. This group is formed by similar energy patterns and shared histories, and the only way to disentangle ourselves is by making amends and reconciling.

Even if the family seems difficult, we generally have patterns similar to those of the people we do not accept. When we decide to make amends and reconcile, we begin to accept others and get along with them better as well. Group karma can include grandparents, parents, and cousins, depending on the culture and size of the family. Some Italian families can include one hundred or two hundred people who are reborn close to one another. Emotions such as anger produce dense energy. This energy is generated by the base chakra and has a low frequency. When we feel anger, for example, we produce a red energy that surrounds us.

Part of this dense energy remains with us, and part is released into the environment. This accumulated energy hinders the circulation of energy in the body, which is essential to our vitality and physical and mental health. The circulation of energy through the meridians and energy channels is crucial to keeping our physical body vitalized.

It is fundamental to understand that when we work daily with dense energies such as anger, we can cause energy blocks that result in illnesses. These illnesses may originate from emotional charges from past lives, the current life, or even the sum of both. For example, when we speak of karma, energy, and past lives, we can consider the case of a child born with deformities. This is generally due to emotional charges brought from another life.

Although we can call this karma, we understand it more as emotional and energetic charges that we carry from one existence to another. Consider a child who develops a serious illness at a young age. The child has not had enough time to generate dense energies that would cause such an illness in this life. What occurs is that we bring these charges from past lives. Another important point is that when we generate dense energies such as anger, we attract spiritual harassment. Disincarnated spiritual consciousnesses, who may be family members or friends, remain dulled, without fully understanding that they are disincarnated.

They still wish to come into contact with energies that were familiar to them, such as desires for food, addictions, or the pleasures of physical life. Because they are confused and still attached to physical desires, they end up carrying out what we call spiritual harassment.

Spiritual harassers are not necessarily evil spirits, but disincarnated consciousnesses who, because of their lack of understanding of disincarnation and profound dullness, end up coupling with incarnated people. This results in energy vampirism. When we produce dense energies such as anger, we attract harasser consciousnesses attuned to this frequency, creating a bond with us and vampirizing us, which takes away our clarity. Anger, initiated by us in response to a situation, can increase with the assistance of these spiritual harassers, intensifying.

This can lead to accidents, job loss, and conflicts with friends and family. To interrupt this cycle of misfortunes, it is essential to become conscious that our emotional charges begin the process, which can be called karma. We often wonder whether we deserve what happens to us, as though it were a punishment. Understanding the energetic process and how we produce these situations is crucial to reversing the cycle. The only way to stop this process is to recognize that our emotions began everything, and this may have begun in this life or past lives.

Most of us have hundreds of incarnations, accumulating experiences until we become conscious and evolve. It is important to recognize that we harm others and ourselves, but we also need to want to change. This change does not occur overnight. Accepting another person does not mean agreeing with wrong attitudes, but accepting the person as they are, with their flaws and virtues. To avoid catastrophes, accidents, and illnesses, we need to see the world and people, listening to our spiritual helpers.

We should seek elevated patterns to draw closer to high-level spiritual helpers. If we are filled with emotional charges, we will not hear the helpers warning us about paths to avoid. This can affect our employment, relationships, and grief. We need inner resources to overcome these situations, seeing changes as opportunities for growth. We often remain attached to bad jobs or relationships because we consider them our karma, but upon losing a job, for example, we may find satisfaction and even a better financial return.

Karma is a law of cause and effect. We need to identify what within us brings suffering and misfortune. Which emotions, thoughts, and behaviors cause this for us? It is possible to free oneself from karma through effort and learning. We can evolve and reach higher frequencies, freeing ourselves from emotional charges. To do so, it is necessary to stop increasing our karma in this life and grow to the point of having no emotional reactivity toward people, accepting them fully.

The book "Projection of Consciousness: An Evolutionary Tool" speaks about egokarma, group karma, and polikarma. Egokarma is formed by internal conflicts such as depression and neediness. We can pay off polikarma by helping more people, the more resolved we are with ourselves. We should help without expectations, recognizing people's limits and our own expectations.

It is possible to undo karma in one lifetime, but it requires great effort. We should raise our consciousness above the lower chakras, seeking higher frequencies. Forgiveness and acceptance of the past, together with a movement toward change, free us from karma. We should forgive ourselves and accept our history, seeking to grow and evolve. Abusive relationships may be a result of past lives, but we need to break this vicious cycle. A person who evolves can benefit the entire family. The decision to change is ours, regardless of cultural or family agreements. The right direction is love, guided by cosmoethics, which seeks good for everyone. Each of us is responsible for our happiness and suffering. Understanding this requires knowledge about energy and the spiritual world.
