Death shall have no dominion
Dear infinite love - thank you for sharing the information about this book which I shall have to read. I do feel that the concept of karma is a difficult one especially when it is used in relation to things like disabled children. The parents of children with disabilities often feel dreadfully guilty though it's in no way their fault. The concept of karma in such situations is just so unhelpful.
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
