Dispelling Karma

     Have you ever heard people say “Oh, that’s bad karma.”? So what is karma, anyway? The popular definition is: Whatever you do will be paid back to you.  In other words, if you steal from someone, someone will steal from you.  Does this actually happen? The reality is surprisingly, no. 
     Karma is a Sanskrit word which means "action".  That is all.  It doesn't mean that bad deeds are punished, or good deeds rewarded.  There are no karmic debts to punish you, nor any karmic courts to execute vengeance. And yet karma has its own law.  If it’s not a reward or punishment of your deeds then how does the law of karma actually work?  The Law of Karma is the Law of Consequences of Action which is also the Law of Cause and Effect.  Sir Isaac Newton's third law: "Forces always originate in pairs, equal in magnitude and opposite in direction".

            Gal 6:7 "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows."

     Whatever you think, say, or do produces consequences.  It's kind of like if you drop a rock into the center of a pond.  The action produces ripples on the surface that radiate outward from the center in circles.  When these circles reach the pond's outer shore, they then travel inward, converging toward the center.  Similarly your thoughts affect the universe more profoundly than you can even imagine.  Your every thought, word and deed affects the entire universe and then affects yourself.
     Your thoughts send out waves of vibration into the universe.  Every moment you are sending out vibrations of either harmonious or inharmonious waves.  Positive feelings create an energy field that attracts positivism by the Law of Magnetic Attraction, which is simply "Like attracts like".   Harmonious thoughts produce harmonious, peaceful and beneficial results, whereas inharmonious thoughts produce inharmonious, disorderly, harmful, and even violent results.

Luke 6:38 "Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure-- pressed down, shaken together and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return."

     Now let’s look at this a little closer.  Not only do your thoughts send out vibrations but also your beliefs do as well.  The beliefs I am talking about are the ones that are buried in your subconscious mind.  These beliefs actually send out stronger vibrations than your conscious thoughts.   For example: Johnny was praying or believing for a new car.  He cut out pictures of that car and pasted it on his refrigerator.  He did what his pastor said by using the "Name it, and Claim it" technique often throughout the day.  He would pray and dream about that new car.  But all along he had a subconscious belief of: “I never have enough, I always have an old, broken-down car, and I can't afford a decent car nor do I deserve a new car".  His subconscious belief is sabotaging his conscious belief and efforts.  What he thinks he believed is quite different from what he really believed.
     Thus the true deeper meaning of the Law of Karma is: whatever you believe will happen is exactly what will happen.

Matt 8:13"...let it be done for you as you have believed.” 

     It is your deep down core beliefs (unconscious belief) that determines what you experience.  If you believe you are poor, then you will be poor.  If you believe you are wealthy, you will be.  God gave you free will, and you have absolute control over your own path, experience and future for "it is done unto you as you believe".
Let's say that you believe that you get a cold every spring, and you declare it repeatedly as often as you can throughout the year. Then that cold will arrive every spring just like clockwork.  You then prove to yourself that what you believe is true and declare it again and again. 
     Now I know what you are thinking, "How can a belief manifest anything? Believing you are the president doesn't make you one." This is a valid question because the word belief is often defined as a mood or imaginary musing.  However your life is nothing more than a reflection of your deepest imaginations. Belief is a complete conviction, an assured expectation of a particular result.  This is not what you think you believe, but is the core belief in your subconscious mind.  You might not even be aware of what your subconscious mind believes. 
     The best way to overcome subconscious programing is to make a profound, fundamental change in your life-to trade in your old, limited ego identity for a new, unlimited identity.

 Rom 12:2 "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."  

     When we know who we are in Christ we understand that God lives within us.  Thus Christ transforms our identity from being limited into a limitless identity, which brings freedom, enlightenment, peace, comfort, divine direction and unbounded awareness. Through faith you can activate the Law of Grace, the law of bountiful mercy that forgives all "sin" and dismisses all belief in reward and punishment.  Once you accept the Law of Grace then you break the spell of karma.  This Law of Grace instantaneously dispels all limiting beliefs. 

Rom 8:2 "because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death (law of karma)."

   
     When your subconscious mind is renewed to believing the truth about yourself, those around you and all things then the truth sets you free.  You begin to send out harmonious vibrational beliefs which in turn bring harmony to your life.  If you are not experiencing harmony in your life then it is time to take a very close look at your subconscious beliefs to see how they are sabotaging and controlling your life.  Ask God to remove those false beliefs and to fill them with the truth.
