How Karma Affects Us

Have you ever wondered why, if you've lived at another time, how these experiences are affecting you now? Have you given thought to the fact that there may be underlying spiritual, or karmic, reasons for your current experiences?

What is the karmic reason, for instance, that you have so many money issues? Or the reason why certain relationships immediately go sour...

Or why are you battling certain health problems...

Or why you face troubling issues with your children -- or your parents -- or your spouse...?

and so on.

We Create our Karmic Situations

What is the soul? It is known to be the essence of man, the repository of thoughts, memories, stimuli, and dreams. It is the core which animates us, propels us into action, or causes us to hang back and linger. It is the seat of reason and understanding, the fulcrum of our thoughts words and deeds.
The soul is thought to be indestructible, no matter what fate confronts the body or mind which it inhabits.
Buddhism calls the soul the "Greater Self," the lesser of which disappears at death. This greater self is the life force, or will to live, which survives successive rebirths. In accord with Eastern philosophy, the soul pushes forward, ever-evolving, growing and seeking, until meeting with stagnation. Then it may whither, but never die. Feeding on knowledge and experience it changes and expands, effortlessly or heavily, always probing, and hopefully, always growing.
