Karma

well that's a very complex question and I'm not sure I can do it justice but my initial thoughts and response are that I very much agree with what you seem to be implying or seem to be saying which is that the apparent overwhelming nature of the relation of the revelation of personal karma that it's the overwhelming nature of the sense imprisonment that it catalyzes to the unique and personal self he's literally overwhelming and remains overwhelming until that time which is you clearly describing your question there's a there's a revelation of the ultimate nature of non duality and in an in that revelation of non duality the recognition of the non personal or impersonal or ultimately single it's a recognition that all of life the entire creative process is one singularity that singularity while recognized to be the source of the I sense and all the new beings and all sentient beings they simultaneously recognize to be absolutely personal and absolutely impersonal at the same time so in the recognition of the non personal or impersonal nature of that absolute singularity there's a recognition of the impersonal nature of the process of all of existence it's all one process and that our personal trials and tribulations and challenges and the confrontations to our imperfections to our ignorance to our lack of development in so many important areas from an impersonal context fueled by the spiritually spiritual fragrance of awakened compassion not only for self but for all of life with your part and parcel of enlightened awareness there's a recognition that that human growth and development especially at the level of consciousness and soul and self is ultimately a painful or painful ordeal but it's a bit that painful ordeal from the largest perspective is seen as a growth process as a learning process a learning process in which pain is done avoid the pain is unavoidable if we're truly interested in growth self-transcendence purification and ultimately liberation so in that as you once again as you clearly described the recognition of the impersonal nature of the ultimate singularity that is the process that is the entire evolutionary process in the revelation that personality we recognize that our personal challenges aren't anywhere near as overwhelming as they appear to be is when they were seeing purely from the context of the personal self which is trapped within its own bubble and doesn't see the larger impersonal and ultimately infinite context in which it exists so I I fundamentally agree with you 100% but I wanted to add one more point which is that the other side of the coin here the other side of the story especially when were speaking about karma is that karma is both positive and negative and there is something that that as I often speak about when I speak what evolutionary enlightenment is that the liberating discovery and liberating truth is that the ultimate nature of the energy and intelligence that created the universe and is creating the universe was pure positivity so there is ultimately an absolutely a pure positivity that brought the universe into existence in this driving its driving and catalyzed its existence including this conversation will happen right now and inherent in that pure positivity is your is the inherent potential inherent in you and I of a development and growth and a potential unfolding in in that growth that is unthinkably an unimaginably an inconceivably positive it there's the pull and the promise of a beauty and a perfection and a joy and a significance beyond rational comprehension that is inherent in all this so as we endeavor to contemplate the mystery of karma which of course the Buddha as far as I understand cautioned us not to do because he said it was beyond understanding was probably right but as way but as we're trying to do so in any case I think that as we cultivate the courage to face into our own inadequacy me imperfections in less than perfect motivations we also have to have cultivating equal amount of courage to cultivate to sorry to contemplate our own potential for profound evolution profound in a development it promises a kind of transformation they will ultimately be able to bring lineage bring its own kind of blessing through the creative process itself and that takes a lot of courage
