Karma

I read a very interesting article in Sunday Times (TOI, 7^th Jan 2006) and I thought I should share it.

Have you ever wondered what your subconscious mind looks like? … Simply look at your life and you are seeing an exact physical reflection of your subconscious Self. But how can this be? It is, I believe, based on a form of magnetism. This process allows us to determine our destiny and experience, even though our lives may appear to be controlled by events over which we have little or no influence. We all control our lives minute by minute. We don’t realize it.

The writer then goes on to talk about the aura, and how our sub-conscious mind affects the magnetic energy which reflects in every second of our lives, and how these magnetic patterns attracts others with similar magnetic thought fields. He explains his theory further with the help of an example – his visit to a “battered wives” hostel. He finds that the women there lacked self worth and self love, an attitude that clearly went back a long time. They attracted violent men, with deep subconscious hatred of Self, and this resulted in violent behavior. When the woman escaped such a person, she merely attracted someone else equally violent and discontent person. The sequence was only broken when the person developed a loving and respecting themselves.

This magnetic attraction of thought fields is how we draw to us what we fear, it explains love or dislike at first sight. … What we call ‘karma’ is, for me, just another word to describe this process of magnetic attraction. If we act negatively towards someone, it means there is an imbalance in our inner Self. This imbalance/thought pattern will eventually attract to us an experience that reflect that imbalance – our karma. This not a form of punishment, it is an aid to our evolution because it means we are constantly facing our inner Self. What can be seen, can be dealt with.

So this also explains:

• victim mentality creates the victim reality, and
• if you believe it, you will achieve it
