karma......rational intellect

I often hear statements regarding Karma that sound so self-centered that I am amazed how many cannot grasp the simple concept of it. The popular notion is so riddled with judgement...a human invention...and philosophies of reincarnation....another human idea.....that construe the simplicity of Karma far beyond its limit. What do we think.....that there exists some unseen tribunal which scores us on performance as we live life? Holy smoke'n'mirrors Batman, but that sounds more like a Catholocized precept than an extrapolated
idea from a piece of Vedic prose. Then the idea continues with having to return through all these lifetimes until we get "it" right.
WTF is "it"??  Is "it" a life lived in perfect harmony with all other creation ? What.....I've gotta graze on the grass and twigs and such...well how in the hell do I survive a winter if I'm an Eskimo ? Or are they some lesser form of biped because they weren't born in the temperate zones ? And then I hear all about how they were some person of great public stature, terrible notoriety, or other outstanding performance.......but nobody ever says they wiped the King's ass for a job or cleaned the outhouses. After a while the popular ideas of karma make life so tough to live that one may as well strip naked and sit in the dirt.....or is that what all those meditating holy nit-wits want us to do ?
Well hold on a minute sez I !!   I think karma is way simpler than all that romantic manic nonsense. I think the earth is giving us all a great big graphic lesson in the theory of action/reaction right now. You can't exterminate everything else in your garden so just you can survive and if the whole earth is the garden...and we're just one of the many varieties that fill it.....then something is major out of balance. That something is the fascination we hoomans have with our reflections. We took a while to generate from the earlier forms we generated from....but maybe not that long because cro-magnon (modern man) hasn't been here but about 40-50thousand years..correct me if I'm wrong. That is a spit in a barrel to the millions of years that dinosaurs roamed this planet. And since about 30,000 ago we've consistently increased the rate of our species growth at the expense of all others to the point we now stand...which isn't very pretty when you consider ecological disasters. Maybe..........all karma really is.....is the way infinite intelligence....or God if you like.......rectifies the portion to the whole.....and in the case of rational intellect.....makes the rational intellect realize the idea of 'ration'......

So tell me......couldn't life as we now are experiencing it be just another phase of tangible intelligence manifesting itself in circular dimension ? Just a thought, because you are going to believe whatever gives you the most familiar comfort..........

humans usually will reject new ideas, because most of them are ignorant but we can't blame them, it's the system that made us how we are and it's up to us to change it by bieng ourselves and to think like we do by ourselves and not think the way others think, so some people don't believe in karma or ghosts or even God because they're so danm ignorant

i think you're right. people's conception of karma depends largely on a bad/good dichotomy. but, ;ike you said, karma is really aboout how aligned we are with the interests of the whole

Hey you! I have been really slow in visiting all my friends.. how have you been, Dennis?! Hope you and your family's well!

well.. i do agree. We will all going to believe whatever that we are familiar and that makes us feel comfortable and safe.

New ideas and concepts will have a harder time to be sold to someone after 40. That's for sure ;D

love & hugs,

The wheel of life turns at it's own speed, and change allows infinite possibilitites. All we need to do is remain open to them...
