All Saints Transmissions: Is karma real?

Karma is another illusion

ST: I have come across many spiritual and religious teachings since my childhood from Sunday school to Neal Walsch's "Conversations with God" and my own conversations with saints.  When all this information is gathered into one place like my mind, it leads to confusion.  From the East we get this concept of karma, which for all I can tell, hasn't done a lot of good in the world.  Then from the West we have the concept of sin, which also hasn't brought peace to the world.  BTW, sin means "without" in Latin.  So my question to the saints and Mother Mary is karma and sin real? 

Mother Mary:  The only thing that is real is an unconditionally loving God, and that God is within you, and heaven is within you, but so is hell.  You make a choice of what you want to experience.  You read about this in the "Conversation of God" series, a book series that comes the closest of any spiritual book to the real concept of God and your God-self.  I ask anyone reading this blog, to also read that series.  Then ask me questions about sin and karma.

Sin and karma are basically the same concept and revolve around the Law of Cause and Effect.  Which is a real law so if you cut yourself with a knife, it hurts.  If you drive your car fast and recklessly, you will at some point crash into a wall or a tree, or harm someone, if not kill yourself.  But is the end result punishment? No, it's just that one thing follows the other. If you stick dough in an oven and bake it for a certain amount of time, you end up with bread.  So not confuse the Law of Cause and Effect with sin and karma, which always has judgement attached to it.

What still confuses me in the Buddhist tradition is that you are expected to practice compassionate non-attachment, but you still believe in karma, which some Buddhists attach judgement.  If they don't do this for themselves, then they do this to others in the form of projections.  In the western trilogy of major religions, you don't practice this non-attachment, however, you are not supposed to judge others and you do, slapping sin onto every calamity in the world.  If your house burns down, then you must have sinned against God.  If your child dies, then you must have done something wrong as a parent.

Karma in many ways causes suffering.  In India you have a caste system which in my opinion wreaks of hatred and violates any acts of compassion.  If a person is born with darker skin or deformed in some way, then they are stuck in the lower caste system, therefore, they must have done something wicked in a previous life, so people in this life can commit wicked acts against them now.  As if this makes sense.  And yet, people fly on planes to spend time in ashrams in India to study with gurus, who hopefully do not support the caste system and this game of karma.  If they do, I can hardly call them enlightened humans.  And please don't get me started about the other religions.

If you want to connect to God, then connect to God in your heart.  Speak to God because he-she listens to your thoughts, your feelings, and your voice.  You are not separate from God.  If I had to give a definition of sin then I would say that it is to live without the grace of God.  But it is your choice to live with God's grace or without it.  If you choose fear, if you choose separation, then it is easier to hurt yourself or another because you are living in deprivation of God's love.  But understand this, God does not cause this separation. God does not send you into the proverbial forest without food, water, or love.  You take that journey away from God and he-she allows it.

When Yeshua walked the earth the first time he said that he came to wash away all the sins of the world.  What he meant was that he was going to wash away the illusion of sin.  He knew that the concept of sin causes more violence, more judgement, and more suffering than anything else.  If someone "sins" then another can execute them without any penalty. But this is an illusion too.  You have no right to end another life unless you have a soul contract with that other person, and even then, you can choose the higher road of love.

So next time someone calls you a sinner or tries to punish you for your sins, know that you can choose to reunite with God's love.  You no longer need to let others scapegoat you.  You are free to live your life in God's grace.  It is your choice.

Dis-ease and other earthly discomforts

ST: I ended up in a debate about giving too much power to diseases by labeling people with those diseases.  The point I was trying to make is that the fear associated with dis-ease is worse than the dis-ease itself and perhaps we can experience grace from whatever condition we find ourselves with.  What can you say on this topic?


Saint Jude: Good mourning.  Yes, I spelled that correctly.  The earth is in a long mourning for old structure that crumbles now.  Dis-ease is actually distress in disguise.  Not all souls wish to stay on the planet, but do not want to admit this to others who will find them morose. You had a friend who was honest about wanting to leave the planet, she struggled with cancer for a few months and then liberated herself.  She didn't tell many people about this wish simply because other humans don't approve of someone wanting to die.  Your medical experts see this as depression and quickly medicate anyone who feels this way.

The earth, although beautiful, is only one realm of many.  It is as many spiritualists tell you a schoolhouse, but it's also one of those only realms where you can work off past karma. Now let's talk about karma because many people see this as a punishment, in which it isn't.  Think of it as a type of bank account or better yet, a credit card.  Dr.Zhi Gang Sha uses a similar analogy, no?  Now every act you do that harms the earth or another entity creates a debt that you'll have to pay off at some time.   Suppose you're a young college students who chooses to sow oats.

Now this student toys with women's feelings.  He sleeps with many women and spreads a dis-ease, not to mention anguish to these women.  Finally he grows out of this stage and settles down and marries.  But later he betrays his wife and has several affairs, again toying with the hearts of women.  Now, this man goes on with his life and nothing too negative happens to him, until one day he experiences a heart attack and is rushed to the hospital where he nearly loses his life, but thankfully survives.

After his recovery and as part of his recovery, this man takes up yoga and meditation.  He joins a spiritual group and receives spiritual counseling.  He doesn't connect his past behavior with women with his heart attack, not yet anyway.  But through counseling and later radical forgiveness of his past behavior he starts balancing off his karmic debt.  But this man has accumulated other karmic debts from previous lives and now those are coming up as karmic bills you might say with interest.  However, the man has a second heart attack, this time fatal.

So he returns to the earth as a woman.  And for whatever reason, he now a she, finds that men just use her.  She has a huge sexual appetite and gets herself in trouble, even abused by her partners.  But by now amnesia has struck and this woman feels like a victim.  She decides instead of getting necessary healing that she'll just lash out in men in hatred, which accumulates even more karma.  The story goes on and on until this soul finds the right spiritual path to balance past due karma.  This could take several lifetimes.

The point I'm trying to make is that dis-ease or discomforts that you face as humans are due in part to karma.  And as one woman asked, how does an innocent child get cancer? Well, the soul of that child has been around the block a few times and chose a life situation to balance out karma from previous lifetimes, and if the child doesn't choose bitterness, but instead grace for his or her situation, then that karma balances.  Not only that, sometimes it's not about balancing karma, but coming to the earth to teach other humans lessons about forgiveness, loss, and transformation.  Sometimes these children who die young teach their parents about death and rebirth, that there really is no ending.  Each person must figure out this for him or herself.  There is no one-size-fits-all answer. 

Nor should anyone tell someone else how to view their lives, their grief, or their death.  Your friend truly sought liberation from the earth plane.  She needed a way out and the Universe provided her with a disease.  Yes, this was painful for her loved ones and she suffered through the process too, but I assure you, she's in good hands now and thriving.  Picture your friend among the animals and other creatures she loved because that's where she is.  She is in paradise as she defines it.

Try not to control or manipulate others.  I know this is a real challenge for humanity during this time of change and crisis.  This chaos won't last forever so take heart.  You're all at different intersections in your spiritual growth.  Some of you are higher on the ladder to enlightenment which means you need to have patience for all those following behind you even if they don't follow in your footsteps or adopt your way of thinking.  It doesn't matter really because you'll all get to the finish line, if not in this lifetime then in another one.  The main thing is to stay mindful of your words and actions.  You don't want to sow wild oats knowing that you have to pay the piper at a later time.  It's all about love.  It's all about forgiveness.

Remember that we always love you.

Blessings,

Saint Jude
