Karma is Negotiable

Chapter 28: Individual Karma

We as individuals owe for the harmful actions we have performed in the past. We suffer in many different ways in accordance with our own wrong actions.

Most of the suffering in our life is due to harmful actions we performed in the past. By learning to stop our bad habits and automatic reactions, we can reduce and eventually end altogether the continuation of these sufferings.

Marriages, jobs, family situations, problems with money, health, children, etc. are generally due to our individual karma.

The worst genres of sicknesses are those which are engendered by karma. Variola is the result of hatred, diphtheria is the fruit of fornication from past lives. Cancer is also the result of fornication.

Tuberculosis or white pestilence is the result of atheism and materialism from past lives. Cruelty engenders blindness at birth. Rachitis is the child of materialism. Malaria comes from egotism, etc. Hundreds of other sicknesses have their origin in the evil actions from our past lives. —Samael Aun Weor, Esoteric Medicine and Practical Magic

Individuals who are enjoying their last opportunity in a physical body, and previously did a lot of good deeds but did not awaken consciousness, are paid what they are owed in full. Such persons are often wealthy, loved, and surrounded by everything one could want in life, but have little or no spiritual values. When the compensation for their good deeds has been fully paid, they die, and nature recycles them.

Make it Practical

You have a lifetime of data to observe and understand. The longer you wait to begin, the harder it will be. Start today.

Each night, after your recollection of the day’s events, begin to review backwards through your life. Follow your intuition. Observe events, intuit where they lead. This is not a process of thinking thoughts. It is observation.

For example, if you want to understand the behaviors of a reclusive animal in the forest, you must go to the forest, follow the animal, and observe it. If you stay at home and think about it, your thoughts and ideas will have nothing to do with reality. To understand yourself, you must observe your own behaviors as they actually happened.
