“Karma is not meant to be a punishment, but rather the balancing of experiences for the soul â€
via Taryn CrimiÂ
Today we would like to focus your attention on the purpose of Karma. There are many on your world who misunderstand what Karma truly is. There are those who look to another whom they see as committing an act which “deserves†punishment and say that the person will have to pay the “priceâ€; karma will get them in the end. While we see this as being true in one sense, we also would like to explain from our perspective what the role of karma is in your reality.
You are living in duality; the nature of your reality is one in which there are opposites; black and white, hot and cold, good and bad depending on the perspective of the observer. There are other universes that do not operate under the same preconceived conceptions. In other words there are worlds which offer the experience of triality, there are others that offer the experience of no free will; which only allows the soul to choose its experiences before the incarnation, once incarnated there is no deviation from the set of experiences the soul wishes to have. There are other worlds which do not operate in physical reality, and still others that would seem so foreign to you that we simply do not have the words available to explain them to you.
Now in your world you have all agreed to experience duality, which requires there to be two sides which are polar opposites of each other to any given situation. From our perspective karma is not a punishment to be dished out to those who have committed offenses, which then deserve to have “bad†things happen to them because of what they have done. No, we see it rather as a desire for the soul to balance out all experiences. For instance if a soul has lived a particularly “dark†life, then it may choose to have an experience of the exact opposite to better understand and learn from both sides. You have all had many lives in which you wanted to experience lack in many ways, and you then chose to experience abundance in other lives. In one life a soul may have chosen to experience health but chose to take it for granted, while in another life the soul wanted to experience illness so that it could better understand the value of health. In one life a soul may have chosen to be homeless and experience extreme poverty where they had great detest for the wealthy, and yet in another life they chose to experience extreme wealth in which they looked down on the poor. The soul wanted to experience both sides. Remember that there is no inherent value placed on any act that deems something as good or bad, it is simply your perspective that label’s it so.
There are those of you who may in some way be disappointed that those who have done “harm†to others will not in some way be harmed in return. But this is not necessarily true, we are not saying that they will not experience some sort of suffering for their actions, what we are saying is that the reason why they will experience suffering is to balance out their soul’s experience not as a form of punishment.  Many have been taught that if they commit “sins†against God or against another their punishment is to go to hell; however we see hell as being no more of a place than heaven is. It is all a state of mind. There are some on your world who are experiencing “hell†in their waking lives right now. This is of their choosing of course and they can leave anytime they want. Heaven is only a thought away.
Remember that it is impossible to do something to another without it affecting you directly; good or bad. It makes no difference, again, the universe is neutral and does not decide what is good and what is bad, it only brings back to you what you send out.
Many of you in this life have a “laundry list†of things you wanted to work on, karma you wanted to balance, beliefs you wanted to replace; and the reason for this is because this particular cycle of incarnation is ending. You have been here so many times before, you have worked on so many different issues along the way, but never have you set such high goals before for just one lifetime.
Some of you wonder why this life seems to be so challenging; “if you are an old soul, then why is it that you haven’t mastered more of these challenges that you are facing by now?â€Â The reason for this is not because you have not mastered these challenges but because you are now a master and you can face these challenges with greater ease. You have volunteered to serve others by showing them how it’s done! By overcoming these obstacles that you have put on your path you can show others how to remove these limiting beliefs; however if you came in here with nothing left to work on you would not be able to set an example for others to follow. Never before have you had a life so “jam packed†with obstacles to remove from you path. It’s not because you haven’t done enough, it’s because you are the ones who can handle walking the more difficult paths!
We thank you for your courage and the tremendous service you are providing for others who desire to change as a result of the examples you have set.
We hope that this message has in some way served you.
