Karma
Karma appears to be generally misunderstood. It affects everyone and no one is exempt.
For many years, I studied how Karma worked. There were many explanations out there; e.g. every action being mapped by the stars or being recorded in some way. However, none of these really made a lot of sense to me, and it didn’t really explain why you reap what you sow.
Then I read a book called, “The Magus of Strovolos,” by Kyriacos C. Markides, which finally explained it in a way that made perfect sense to me.
In a nutshell, Karma is the results of our thoughts, intentions and actions.
Thoughts
I think it’s generally accepted now that our thoughts are real forces. A thought is a vibration and is composed of a specific energy. Once it’s put out there, it can technically travel on for eternity.
However, I believe they don’t go very far. They tend to pool with thoughts that are similar to itself.
