Adam on Karma

People have many different perspectives on the concept of “karma.” It is commonly thought of as the “baggage” that we carry with us from one lifetime to the next. More accurately, karma is how the energy transferred from one’s life influences the next.

A more scientific definition would use theories from our current state of knowledge about physics, especially how energy behaves in our universe.

One of the laws of physics is that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. In keeping with this law karma, which involves a person’s energy essence being passed on from one lifetime to another lifetime, is no exception. The mechanism of transmission – the mode of transferal from one lifetime to the next—is by way of a composite of energy frequencies that do not cease at the time of death.

Another law of physics is that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This suggests that energy seeks equilibrium. Some people take this law and apply moral considerations to the concept of karma. A common belief is that if you have evil intentions in one life, your karma will be to make restitution in the next, thereby balancing out good and evil or achieving equilibrium. When something unfortunate occurs, one might say, “It’s just my karma.” I understand karma to be less rigid than a simple restitution system – less predestined, so to speak. It is just energy – energy that works and moves in slightly different ways. Read More...
