Karma is Negotiable

Chapter 32: Kamaduro

Karma from misuse of sexual energy is called kamaduro (do not confuse “karma” with “kama”). The word kamaduro comes from Sanskrit kama काम, "desire" and duro, "great crime or wickedness, " dur दुर्, "bad" or "difficult," which is from duristha दुरिष्ठ – "very bad, difficult, or wicked.”

But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it. —Genesis 2: 17

When someone is blinded by sexual passion, they suffer from kamatura कामातुर, and their mistaken sexual actions create consequences: kamaduro.

Kama (desire) creates a poison, a lustful destructive force that kills:

...for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. —Genesis 2: 17

Kamaduro is the result of fornication: the orgasm, the waste of sexual energy. This is the only form of karma that is not negotiable. Sexual degeneration, fornication, cannot be forgiven because the karma must play itself out through pain. Fornication, the indulgence in self-willed pleasure, is paid only through pain. This is why every great master, like Jesus, Joan of Arc, Buddha, experienced some terrible suffering at the end of their work: through this terrific pain they paid their karmic debts related to sex. Only after that suffering and death can they resurrect, clean, new, and immortal, totally free of sexual degeneration and its debts.

Cancer is caused by fornication, as are many other devastating illnesses and forms of suffering. That is why religions and myths have so many symbols of lust as the basis of all suffering.
