Do we drag karma from life to life?
Many of us believe in karma, the law of cause and effect, usually related to the negative actions that one makes, this is accurate, also there are some that do not believe in other lives, they believe that we only have one life and that is it, so they feel we have karma for this life only... others believe in reincarnation so they believe that karma is dragged from one life to another, this is a common belief in India and many other places, they actually believe that if they are poor, if they are sick, that it is a past life karma that they have to pay, and they do not want to stop their suffering because they feel they are going to interrupt the paying of their karma... So is this true?
Not for me, I read in the best book of all "Wisdom of the Heart" by Flora Rocha, by the way if you do not have it you are missing the best book you can have with a deep interesting revealing information, she says that we only pay karma from our current life, we pay all our debts in this life, would it be fair to pay for something that we do not even remember, from a life and a personality that we do not even know how it developed? Of course not, at least not from my perspective, she explains which and how are the exceptions to this, only with very few cases, she also explains how wrong the theory that when someone is born with a physical discapacity it is not because of karma, and she explains in her book why is this... well I can write a whole lot more but well if you are interested in these kind of topics I recommend the book "Wisdom of the Heart" by Flora Rocha, my favorite writer by the way, I know it is easy to infer…
Thanx for your time...

Death shall have no dominion
Having recently experienced the death of someone very close to me through suicide I am feeling very aware of life and death, thinking about strange resonances of stuff within our family and have felt very much that we are not in control of what happens despite the illusion that we are. It's certainly challenging me to open my mind to all sorts of things that I would have dismissed before...we know so little...but a grain of sand. I am very drawn to the spiritual teachings about eternal life, life after death...that's why I have called this post 'and death shall have no dominion'.
It's autumn and as I walk around beneath the beautiful trees sheddings their autumn leaves I just keep coming back to the cycle of life and the centrality of death or dying....which doesn't help you with the question of karma!
At the end of the day i think the maxim 'do as you would be done by' is the best way to live and the karma should look after itself! Love and light, Anna
