GOOD KARMA
I would like to explain some facts about good karma. As we already know, it is usually a string of blood, that vibrates very fast, and which is received when we help somebody.
Good karma is created by own our spirit, with the intention of helping us recognize what is a correct action or thought. As we already know, bad karma is also created by our spirit with the intention of teaching us.
Our Spirit takes the love, gratefulness, good wishes and similar good feelings and thoughts that people send us, and transforms them into good karma.
"God doesn't judge us. We judge us ourselves. We have a guardian which registers all our thoughts and all our actions". (Nizier Philippe de Lyon).
There is another possible source of good karma. In some cases, I have perceived that dead ancestors can give it to us. Specifically, I have seen good karma been given in exchange for attending funeral masses. I have been surprised when I have seen it happen. Maybe the dead are not that different from the living and love to be remembered?
As far as I can tell, some of the main functions of good karma are:
1.- Good karma can change our future.
As far as Avicenna Therapy is concerned, most humans have several different potential futures, ranging from the best to the worst one. Usually three or four of them have a higher probability of happening, but there are many alternate possibilities.One of them will materialize at some moment in time, unless they are changed.
The amount and kind of both good and bad karma is what decides which one of our potential futures will materialize. This is directly connected with astrology, which is the science of avoiding some of the consequences of our bad karma and taking advantage of some of the consequences of our good karma. Each time our good or bad karma changes in a significant way, our horoscope changes too.
A better future is not a future where we have more money or success. It is a future where we are happier. Maybe even with less money, but for sure with more happiness. Sometimes it can be with much more money, of course.
In case your present is not the happiest possible time, you should be aware that NOW is the right and only possible moment to start accumulating the good karma that will materialize for you a happy future. There is no other way to happiness but this.
“Among other things, this reminds me of a quotation from a Persian philosopher on the past, the present and the future. "The present exists to repair the past and prepare the future". It's only with the present that you can repair the past and prepare the future. ...The present exists to repair all our mistakes and to prepare the future, that is to say, another life, desirable for you ...a different tomorrow depends on the presence of today. It is necessary to practice. It is necessary to do everything today.” (Gurdjieff)
If you want to have a happy future, help people NOW as much as you can. Or, as Gurdjieff said: "practice".
2.- Good karma can temporarily stop the burning of bad karma.
As I said in another article, helping people in a strong way is the ultimate antidepressant. Good karma is, as far as I can tell, a kind of blood than can be used to block almost any kind of bad karma. It usually blocks the bad karma in the human chakras, before it enters our invisible bodies.
As soon as our good karma has been used up, the burning of the bad karma will restart and any associated symptoms will reappear. This will be a really good moment to strongly help somebody else.
3.- Good karma will increase our empathy.
Any excess of good karma can be stored in our heart chakra. The size of the heart, thymus and larynxchakra increases, and our empathy will increase. Sometimes this storage is permanent, and sometimes, temporary.
In the old times, when a person wanted to enter a school of healing, the diameter of his heart, thymus and larynx chakras was measured. If its size was below a certain number, the candidate was rejected and he couldn't study. He was given the opportunity to apply again, some years later, along with specific recommendations of what activities to do in the meanwhile.
Without a sufficient amount of empathy, it was said that you couldn't become a healer. It is interesting that empathy was required before studying healing. The old masters obviously believed that someone who studies healing without being empathic enough is not going to develop empathy at a later time.
Today things have changed and everybody is accepted, but I have to tell that non empathic people usually become weak healers, no matter how much they study, practice and learn. Only students with strong empathy can reach the level of a heart chakra healer, which, for me, means to be a top healer.
4.- Good karma can close some specific chakras that attract bad luck.
These chakras are not in the midline of the body, and each person has them in a different place. This happens, obviously, to protect them against black magicians that might want to open them. To open or close the chakras of bad luck is easier than to locate them.
They are also human chakras, but they don't belong to our ten main human chakras.
The closing of the chakras for bad luck is not automatic, but when it happens, it is because we have accumulated a certain amount of good karma.
Yes, there are special chakras that bring us bad luck. And there are substances that activate these chakras. In case somebody is interested I can tell that marijuana and hashish are two of these dangerous substances. Some people are lucky and their chakras for bad luck will stay active only for a month or so after they smoke a joint. Some other are less lucky and their bad luck chakras could stay active for years.
Usually these chakras work by sending invisible messages to people who dislike us. They will pay more attention to us. Everybody can imagine the consequences. There are also chakras for good luck which work in the opposite way. That is, they make people who like us, or who want to help us, pay more attention to us.
Sometimes the chakras for both good and bad luck are able to produce events, but usually they just will attract the right or the wrong people to our lives, and the events will unfold as a consequence. It is possible to have both the chakras for good and bad luck opened at the same time.
I know that not all the effects of marijuana are bad, and that it is said that cancer patients could benefit from some of them. But, if you want to maximize your good luck, forget marijuana.
It is not always easy to tell when we suffer bad luck. Sometimes we need a lot of time to recognize it. Let me tell you a beautiful Taoist story:
" Among the people who lived close to the border, there was a man who led a righteous life. Without reason, his horse escaped, and fled into barbarian territory. Everyone pitied him, but the old man said : "what makes you think this is not a good thing?"
Several months later, his horse returned, accompanied by a superb barbarian stallion. Everyone congratulated him. But the old man said: "what makes you think this is cannot be a bad thing?"
The family was richer from a good horse, his son enjoyed riding it. He fell and broke his hip. Everyone pitied him, but the old man said: "what makes you think this is not a good thing!"
One year later, a large party of barbarians entered the border. All the valid men drew their bows and went to battle. From the people living around the border, nine out of ten died. But just because he was lame, the old man and his son were both spared."
The man in the story was really lucky from the beginning, because his son survived, but it took him a long time to know this. Because sometimes it takes time to understand that we have been unlucky, it is better to get rid of bad luck as soon as possible.
5.- Good karma can connect us with our destiny.
Many people have a destiny but only a few can really fulfill it. Most of us are simply out of touch with it.
There are several ways in which we can connect with our destiny. For example, a true spiritual master can help us achieve this, or we can generate substances like fire_4, that will be explained in a further article.But good karma by itself could also do it, at least in some cases that I have seen.
Good karma is also the least painful way to connect with our destiny. A full connection with our destiny needs huge amounts of good karma, however. As we can imagine, bad karma disconnects us from our destiny. We should be aware that bad karma disconnects us faster than good karma can reconnect us, so we better be very careful.
6.- Good karma can be used to help our family.
When somebody is able to obtain big amounts of good karma, he usually doesn't keep it all for himself. Each person is different, but in some cases that I have witnessed they split the good karma in several portions. I will tell about a specific person, a healer. He divides good karma in three parts. One is for increasing the size of his heart, thymus, larynx and palatechakras, another one for becoming a better healer himself, another one to give as a gift to his family. The splitting process is totally unconscious, of course.
This transferring of good karma is similar, or maybe identical, to the "transfer of merit" taught by many buddhist schools. As I understand it, "merit" is equivalent to "good karma". I quote from Wikipedia:
"
Meritis a concept in Buddhism/Hinduism. It is that which accumulates as a result of good deeds, acts, or thoughts and which carries over to throughout the life or the subsequent incarnations. Such merit contributes to a person's growth towards spiritual liberation. Merit can be gained in a number of ways. In addition, according to the Mahayana Sutra of The Great Vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, one can "transfer" 1/7 merit of an act they have performed to a deceased loved one ... Parinamana(Sanskrit) may be rendered as 'transfer of merit' or 'dedication' and involves the transfer of merit as a cause to bring about an effect.
"
Because "merit" is defined as that which accumulates as a result of good deeds, in case it is not the same thing that I call "good karma", it is not the opposite either.
According to this article, it looks like some buddhist master (Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva) said that 1/7 of the good karma can be transferred to a dead person. So, buddism accepts that good karma can be transferred. This is actually interesting, because the healer that I talk about transfers 1/3 of his good karma to his family.
7.- Good karma can increase the chances of being offered opportunities to help.
To help other people is not as simple as people would believe. It is both useful and important, but the opportunity has to be there. Only God is able to create such an opportunity for us.
To be offered the opportunity to help someone is a "magical" event. It doesn't belong to the laws of this world.
Opportunities to help people are events created in high imaginal planes, in planes 6 and higher. The usual life that many people live on Earth corresponds, in my opinion, with much lower imaginal planes, in many cases to planes -3 or -4. Of course, this is subject to huge individual variation, and there are also people living in very high planes.
Any event that comes from a plane higher than 5 will be a magical event, strictly speaking. As Gurdjieff said "A miracle is the manifestation in this world of the laws of another world". In other worlds, people who have a selfish behaviour won't be given the opportunity to help another human being, unless a miracle happens. This opportunity has to descend from a plane that lies much above ordinary life. Sometimes miracles happen and selfish people receive the opportunity to give real help to somebody, of course.
8.- Good karma helps us to become much better healers.
I have told in another article that "gratefulness" is the substance that allows people to become better healers. I can add now that "gratefulness" is a specific kind of good karma.
Gratitude is one of the substances that will allow us to use higher and higher chakras to heal. Other substances that also help healers in a similar way are: trust in God, force of will, the substances that allow us to connect with our destiny (in case our destiny is to be a healer, of course), compassion and love. Sometimes the possibility to use higher chakras will be permanent and sometimes temporary.
9.- Good karma can make possible some other kinds of healing techniques.
For example: the technique of improving our health related future, the activation of some kinds of shields, the healing of the meninges, the astrological advice, the detoxifying of blood, giving nutritional advice, all these techniques (and more) require certain kinds and amounts of good karma to be performed. Without this good karma, even with the best intention and effort of the healer, some healing techniques will fail.
This happens because the client receives some techniques, like the ones I have mentioned and some others, through his spiritual chakras. Without a good amount of good karma these chakras will remain totally closed.
I want to tell an anecdote from one of the most oustanding healers in history: Monsieur Nizier Philippe de Lyon. Before healing certain people he made them promise that they would refrain from speaking ill from people not present. If they were able to make this promise, he would heal them.
As far as I can tell, Monsieur Philippe mainly used the technique of improving the health related future of people. This technique needs that the client has right kind of good karma. Because he saw that some of his clients were lacking it, he tried to help them to obtain it. Refraining from criticizing absent people will generate a strong kind of good karma. Obviously he was able to use it to power some of his astounding healings.
"You have to pay. I don't ask for money, but that you don't say bad things about another person for a month". (Nizier Philippe de Lyon)
He was asking not for physical, but for imaginal money.
If I understand correctly what Monsieur Philippe was doing, he was using his 17th chakra to heal. This is a major spiritual chakra and places him at the same level of Father Pio as a healer. But the drawback of these great healers is that their client also needs to have his 17th chakra open, to receive the healing of Monsieur Philippe. Only strong good karma can do that. I explain more things about healing and the chakras in my article about the chakras.
10.- A extraordinary amount of good karma can open our spiritual chakras.
The amount of good karma needs to be really extraordinary. I will tell a true story, something that happened to a client of mine.
This client was a wealthy businessman, who was also very honest. He cooperated with a charity run by the late Vicente Ferrer, who, in my opinion, was a true saint, or, in other words, a Friend of God. I also cooperated with Vicente's charity. I met the businessman there, and he became my client.
My client was quite interested in spirituality, and wanted to approach God. Some years before we met he had experienced what in my opinion were true spiritual experiences, but a lot of time had elapsed since then.
One night he had a dream. His dead grandmother told him: "I always wanted to send a letter, but I was too stingy to pay for the stamp. And the stamp only costed 1,80 euros. I regret never having sent this letter".
He woke up and understood the meaning of the dream. His deepest unconscious, symbolized by his grandmother, was telling him that, if he wanted to post a letter that could reach God, he had to pay the stamp. This same day, following the advice of his dream, he donated 18.000 euros to Vicente Ferrer's charity.
The next day his spiritual chakras opened and he enjoyed once again the presence of God.
My client doesn't know it, but the link with Vicente was greatly reinforced at that time and it still exists and works very well, even if Vicente died in 2009. Of course, a Friend of God never really dies, he just moves to a different Home.
"Here’s the lesson: Use your worldly resources to benefit others and make friends. Then, when your earthly possessions are gone, they will welcome you to an eternal home".
(Luke, 16:9)
GOOD KARMA AS SEEN FROM THE IMAGINAL WORLD
From the point of view of the Imaginal World, good karma can be money, power and/or fame. Really good people who have helped a lot can be perceived as being powerful, rich and famous beings in the Imaginal World. They can be even kings, princes or noblemen. Think about this for a moment, people pray to saints because they are powerful.
