Spirit Contracts and Karma

Spirit Contracts and Karma

What good

is life if you are not doing something extraordinary with it?

Since we do

have free will, we always have the choice to do or not do many things.

But when our souls do whole heartedly make its decision, Spirit will

support us (even if we may later come to regret our choices).

In between

Heaven and Earth, there is a dimension called

"Bardo". This is a place we come to (before we are

born) where we look over our future life options and create our

"Soul Agendas". Having been first fully informed of

the difficulties of a human incarnation (but wanting to stay upon our

chosen path in spite of them) we make binding energetic commitments -

"Agreements" or "Contracts". Contracts are done not just with your self

and Spirit, but they often include other souls (future parents,

partners, children, teachers, etc). All those involved sign their names

with their unique energetic signature written upon an etheric document,

stored in the etheric "Karmic Records". When the agreed upon moment

comes, these contracts are activated. There are

many different sorts of "Agreements" or

"Contracts". The first

to be established are our "Worldly Contracts".

These form the basic material structure of our outer life... such as

where and when you are going to be born, who your parents are

to be, what schools you are to attend and teachers you are to learn

from, who you are to marry, who is to be your children, what work you

are going to do, when you are to die, and so on.

However,

the essential or most important are our "God

Contracts", "Karmic Contracts" and

"Karmic Agreements". God

Contracts Each one of us holds within our

being... reflected

as the unique light of our soul - the varied expressions of our love -

our very Selves. This "Love" is essentially our

reason for being - our "Higher Purpose" (and if we could not give or

"serve" this to others, that light and loving part

of us would feel as good as dead). The soul's heart felt

desire to serve this "Higher Purpose" in life is formalized in Spirit

as ones "Spiritual" or "God Contracts" - which is to say that you are

wanting to partake of the opportunity to be a

"Lover" or "Co-Creator" with God. These are the

"Star Seeded Souls" - incarnate upon the earth to fulfill or manifest a

certain divine duty and sacred purpose for the greater good. These

beings are here to be of service to the Spiritual Hierarchy -

selflessly helping their fellow humans be free from the shackles of

soul slavery. As I have seen, these are the souls who are even remotely

motivated or interested in following the healing

path. However, this begs the question...

Why are we not able to know, express, or manifest our "Higher

Purpose"? The answer

is twofold and very simple...

we are blocked up with karma, and we are in ego-resistance.

Unfortunately

(over many lifetimes) most of us Star Seeded Souls – that is,

if this describes you - have accumulated our own

"karmic" junk stored layer upon layer within our

consciousness and energy fields, that our very being is not only hidden

from the world, but even from our own selves. All this

must be cleared first (through much purification and healing) before we

can ever go about manifesting all of our spiritual gifts.

Karma

One can't really speak of contracts without the topic of

"Karma" coming up – they really go hand

in hand. "Karma" is sometimes considered life's "hard knocks" - the

many unpleasant experiences a soul goes through here on planet earth.

Some others would interpret "Karma" to be "divine retribution" or a

punishment from God against those who sin. But by definition, "Karma"

simply means the forces of action and reaction - the law of cause and

effect. "Karma" is like one of Newton's laws of physics -

every action has its equal and opposite reaction ("you reap what you

sow"). All things you have ever done in the past, returns to bite or

bless you in the future. In other words, "Karma" is a cyclic energy

– "what goes around comes around"

(harming or praising you). "Karma" is the universal law of justice that

balances the energetic forces of your life - there is no escaping it -

everyone is personally responsibility for all that they have ever done.

Karma also has no time limits - if in one moment in one life you set in

motion a particular act, you may not reap the fruit of it until many

years... or many lives later. If one plants a seed in the ground, that

seed will eventually grown into a tree - this is "Karma".

Good

Karma

I would say that it is the "good energy" we perform

acts with that counts as "Good Karma" - not the

acts themselves. What is determined as "good" by

our ego-minds (and its collective form as societies

"norms" and "morals") is

usually a mental judgment, and rarely of the highest truth - as it is

said "the road to Hell is paved with good

intentions". It is also said that we don't get to

Heaven by good deeds (alone). Heaven is an internal place of

consciousness - not a material place which we work our way up to by

worldly acts. However, if our actions come from the pure energies of

our inner hearts (that place in us that is of Heaven) naturally,

that's another matter – then we strengthen such

energies in the world, and in ourselves - this is

"good" karma. "Good

karma" is when you

send a positive energy out into the world - a positive energy will

eventually come back to you. If a man praises his wife... who praises

her son... who pets the dog... who fetches dad's newspaper -

this is good karma (even if the dog chews up the paper before

delivering it). On the deeper levels, it's the

"positive energy" behind the feelings that really

counts as good karma, not the outward appearance of the act.

The only

problem we can have with good karma is when our limited ego-minds get

attached to it and wants to have it for ourselves. When it does this,

we get in trouble and the flow can shut down. Just like love, good

karma is an intangible we can allow to flow out of us, and receive it

back with open arms. We cannot put it on our mantle place as a trophy,

we cannot possesses it like a thing. When we start to do this, we turn

a good thing into a bad – instead of expanding and freeing up

our soul, it contracts and limits us further into our ego-mind. This is

what "bad karma" does to us.

Bad

Karma "Bad karma" is when

you send

a "negative" (contracting and limiting) energy out

into the world - a negative energy will eventually come back to you.

It's the man who yells at his wife... who yells at her son...

who kicks the dog... who bites the dad - a classic example of bad

karma. Each time you negatively react to the smallest events... you are

adding a little bit more to the emotional and energetic "spin"... a

little here... a little there... gathering energy... building steam...

escalating the whole mess till the reactions get way out of hand. This

is the cascading affects of karma, and it is quite powerful and

dangerous... and may last a very long time (lifetimes in fact). To

break bad karma takes a powerful act of spiritual grace – the

healing "higher power" of love and forgiveness.

Considered

ones "bad karma" are all the

disharmonious thoughts, words and deeds you have ever done -

contradictory to the universal laws of harmony and love. These exist

within ones dimensional energy bodies as negatively charged "vortices"

or "spins" of energy - also known as "samscaras"

- which distort and block the life flow. As mentioned elsewhere, these

"samscaras" can also be likened to scratches (scars) in a record - some

are superficial and some are deep. The more one repeats (reinforces) a

negative behavior (habit), the deeper this groove gets... till it

becomes a seemingly natural act and compulsion (like most addictions).

It takes much inner processing and healing to remove this groove from

ones energy fields, consciousness and ego-mind. We are

always in choice to react or not react to someone's actions

towards us. If the mom did not react to dads yelling at her, and she

did not yell at her son, then the son would not have kicked the dog and

dear old dad would not have gotten bitten. However, karma is tricky...

one must ask - why did the dad yell in the first place? What were the

events that created that to happen? Then of course, we have to look at

what happens within the mom if she just takes such

"abuse" and doesn't outwardly react.

There still may be an internal reaction going on in her

body-mind-emotions, and if so, that would build up and eventually

explode (on some level) within her, or be projected out (either

physically, mentally or emotionally) towards someone else at some later

time. On the other hand, if dear old mom was able to transform and

purify that negative (contracting and limiting) karmic energy (with

love and forgiveness) then the cycle would be broken. By the way, this

is what Jesus did - by taking on (forgiving, i.e. transforming) the

negative karma (or "sins") of his tormentors, he

broke a long chain of karma (action and reaction).

In every

moment of our life, we are (also and always) in choice to originate and

create new karmas (as in new actions) but we must still answer and be

responsible for the old energies that we have sent out from us in the

past - it must come back to its originator, its creator... eventually.

And when it does, we must again choose... do we react and add to it, or

do we forgive and transform it? (This process of inner transformation

is something the healing work can assist us in being able to more

effectively do). Karmic

Relationships Karma that is shared in

relationships can be

very individual specific, linked to that particular soul you have done

the "Karmic Dance" with - ones that you have (so to speak) "energy

with" or where there is a "negative" charge (as in "bad"

karma). In other words, anyone whom you have ever been engaged with in

a negative cycle of action and reaction (bad karma) that energy must be

neutralized - often by its opposite (quite like an antidote). The

biblical quote that epitomizes this teaching is "turn the other cheek",

and in the Lords Prayer "forgive us our trespass as we forgive those

who would trespass against us." As an

extreme example... if you were killed by a particular person in one

life, the "human" thing to do would be to kill that person back the

next time you had the chance - thus escalating (building on) and

perpetuating this negative (bad karmic) energy. The "divine antidote"

is to neutralize this energy within the spirit of love and forgiveness,

directed not only to the other person, but most especially to

ourselves... for one never really knows if (at some distant time in the

past) you started this cascading bad karma with your own negative

action... and now your karma is catching up to you. Does it now stop

with you, or will it be added onto and perpetuated unto the next life?

And if you

have some "good" karma with another person with whom you may

have a "positive" charge with - if your ego-mind was attached to or is

holding on to them in any way, Spirit will bring

you together to work out your attachments so you may complete the

relationship and let these attachments go. In many circumstances (no

matter how much love you share) this may (eventually) involve letting

the other person move on in their life path (without you).

Similarly,

if you have any "bad" karma with another person

with whom you may have a "negative" charge with, your souls will

eventually be brought together again to "finish the dance" before you

may be allowed to move forward on your path. However, in some

situations when that other individual (who you were involved with) is

not available (or have since resolved their karma in another manner)

spirit may put in a substitute (who has similar issues) to take their

place. Relationship

karma could also be seen as the mixed up, unresolved, co-dependant

energies and issues that you are sharing with, holding on to, and

projecting towards another being. As long as there are these sorts of

unresolved energies in any relationship, no one is ever really going to

be free or fully happy. This

vicious cycle must be broken, but someone must make the first move.

However,

the energy dynamics of this sort of situation may set up the belief

that "I am not the problem - it's the other person who needs

fixing not me!" When you place the problem on the other

person, you are disempowering your own self – but when you

take on the responsibility, you also assume the mantle of its power.

Besides, the healing has got to start somewhere... you might as well

make the first move - this is called "leading by example". However you

put it, in order to help someone else, you must focus on healing

yourself (considering that you are both sharing in the same karmic

energies - when you heal, they heal). Most relationships between

parents and children, and dating or married couples... have to do with

either relationship karma or karmic agreements. Karmic

Agreements – Karmic Lessons "Karmic

Agreements" on the other hand, are

situations specifically designed by Spirit so that you may gain ALL

perspectives in life. These are the specific life "lessons" that you

have chosen to learn for the sake of expanding or broadening

your experience of and compassion for the human condition

(especially if you are a new soul to this contracted, limited, dense

and dualistic dimension). Where our

Worldly Contracts form the basic structure of our lives, Karmic

Agreements fill in the details. Some of these experiences may involve

pleasant activities and creative endeavors... some may be painful and

traumatic - going to war, being killed, raped or maimed. Over

lifetimes, if you were the persecutor (abuser) in one life you may be

the victim (abused) in the next; if were wealthy in one life you may be

poor in the next; if you were healthy in one life you may be sickly in

the next; if you were a student in one life you may be the teacher in

the next; if you were a man in one life you may be a woman in the

next... and so on, and on, and on.... Karmic agreements do not have to

be difficult or hard in the painful way you may think – as

the soul evolves and learns to readily respond to the "hard

knocks", spirit will begin to softly and subtly

"tap" on your "door" with

lessons having more nuance and flair. The balance of karma is like the

swing of a pendulum... when it swings wide and fast, you are very out

of balance, and your lessons may be hard... when it swings slowly and

slight, your lessons may be more subtle and fine.

Karmic

Contracts "Karmic Contracts" are

predominantly entered

into in order to clear negative actions (karma) accumulated in past

lives. If you didn't enter into the binding energies of these

contracts, you would try to avoid all the "unpleasant" experiences -

thus missing the important lessons and greater purposes in them.

Contracts are your way of compelling yourself to do something you as a

spirit wanted to experience or accomplish in the physical form - and

not back down later because it may seem too hard. The Contract is your

way of ensuring that no matter how clouded over with illusion and

forgetfulness your human consciousness and resistant your will may

become (once you are embodied) you will tend to fulfill your

contractual duties. For the soul knows (deep down) that if one does not

complete its mission - fulfilling all these karmic contracts in one

life time - than the soul must reincarnate until it does (and for the

soul that loves its freedom, that may not be a very desirable option).

One cannot

be absolved of nor escape fulfilling ones Karmic Contracts or

Agreements. However, spirit may provide us with many alternative

opportunities to work it out... either the "hard way" - through life's'

hard knocks, or the "easy way" - through the grace found within the

healing experience. (This work can help you quickly expedite and

resolve many karmic "entanglements" you may have with other

souls). Personal

Responsibility

Each individual soul is personally responsible for all their deeds,

from the beginning of creation to the ends of the earth. No matter how

far out into space we go... no matter how fast we run down the ages of

time, eventually, our past deeds will always catch up to us. No one can

escape from karma, just as no one can escape from themselves (wherever

you go, there you are). Some may say karma is a cruel joke, but it is

actually a brilliant way the universe teaches us to learn and evolve

into higher functioning creatures. Karma is a sort of built in feedback

mechanism, epitomized in the biblical saying "Do unto others as you

would have them do unto you". This is the personal, universal, and

eternal lesson of karma. The

physical and energetic laws of the universe demand balance - one side

of the equation must equal the other. No matter how awful certain

dramatic events may look from a human standpoint, the laws of Karma are

actually quite impersonal and unforgiving. However, there is a way out

(or should I say through)... and that is with the help of the healing

work. The

Inner Dream Before a soul

can move on or "Evolve" onto its higher

potential... onto the more outrageous possibilities that lie beyond the

limits of human imagination... one must fulfill ones "God Contracts"

and "Karmic Agreements". These contracts and agreements were both made

on your behalf (probably before you even came into this life) by your

Higher Soul Self, under the guidance and approval of the "Spiritual

Hierarchy". These

contracts and agreements are ever beckoning to us through our

subconscious as: nudges, images, messages, feelings and

dreams.... Clues on what your own "inner dream" is may

be found scattered throughout your childhood. Try to remember those

moments (as a child) when you were happy. What were you doing? Write

down anything you can remember no matter how silly or stupid you might

think it to be – that thinking would be your adult

"judgmental mind" stepping in here now (Just put that aside for this

exercise). When you have found or remembered something from this time,

meditate on it... a lot. This may be your greatest treasure,

your greatest clue on what your life is all about. Following the crumbs

of these memories, and working to make them come true may be one of the

greatest things you can honestly do in this life.

Resistance

One

must eventually complete all contracts, "Spiritual" and otherwise (if

not in one life time than in another), but due to the power of the ego

on this dimension, one can be in a great deal of resistance, rejecting

guidance from the higher self and refusing to follow ones spiritual

destiny/path. (I think this has occurred with just about everybody

incarnated on this planet today). Fortunately, the Great Spirit

constantly reminds us of why we are really here by first sending us

subtle clues and signs – as nudges, images, messages,

feelings and dreams. They may come through the form of other humans

whose designated purpose is to be our spiritual healers and teachers

(The Great Spirit works through all people and events on this earth, if

not directly than indirectly). If the subtle approach doesn't get our

attention (if we are asleep or in rebellion) Spirit will send us some

very rude wake up calls (not to be confused with karma) often in the

form of near fatal accidents, health problems, financial difficulties,

failing relationships, or other dramatic events....

"Why would spirit wish us harm?" I

hear you ask..... "Spirit" (our own "Higher Self" as well as

our "Spirit Guides") only wants what is in our highest and best

interests. What is the greater harm - "to gain the world or lose our

soul?" Balance of Karma and the Ascension of

Consciousness

When one is free of all these karmic entanglements and energies, the

forces of creation become balanced - inside and out – which

allows us to be truly free to ascend to a higher level of creation.

This karmic or energetic balance point is where we feel the inner and

outer become as "One" ("If thy eye be

single thy whole body is full of light"). This creates

feelings of well being, even bliss. Technically speaking, when we reach

this balance point, our energies naturally start to move inward towards

the core of our being (found within the spinal channel) and then - if

that channel is clear and unimpeded - these creative energies (also

known as the "Kundalini") along with our human

mind-consciousness... can flow upward... through the core (also known

as the "Shushumna"). This raising of the

"Kundalini" energies is a prerequisite to the "Ascension" of the

"Christ". Since the Kundalini energies are of the

created ego-mind (i.e. the creative psychic powers) they can only go up

so far into the higher dimensions... beyond which, the

ascension is not so much of the energies as they are the descent of the

higher consciousness into... and it's merging with... the

lower consciousness. Generally speaking, work with the kundalini is the

"Red Tantra" work, and work with the higher and

lower consciousness is the "White Tantra" work.
