Are you aware of the teachings of Dr. and Master Zhi Gang Sha? He also talks about karma and it being the root cause of most of our health and life issues. Working at the soul level can really transform your life. Thanks. Very interesting blog. Are you aware of the teachings of Dr. and Master Zhi Gang Sha?

Its anthropomorphic attributes are such a small or simple part of its complexity. Expressing life by acquiring experience which then expresses life. The soul atman is a beautiful encapsulation.

As per Bhagavad Gita human form is but a small sojourn in the entire lifespan of a <a href="http://www.godrealized.com/hinduism_atman_soul.html" rel="nofollow">soul atman</A>... the spirit within! (Soul is termed atman in Hinduism). As laid down in scriptures our soul atman... the spirit within is absolute master and controller of body (including human beings) and not vice versa! It is not within the capability of a body... including human beings to manifest a soul atman! Every soul atman starts its cosmic journey to manifest karma... remove dross impurities within! The moment complete dross impurities within soul atman removed... human beings (the highest form of manifest life in cosmic system) reached stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana)! From the first manifestation to last... the 8.4 millionth manifestation when human beings gained enlightenment... goal of life for a soul atman remains liberation from cycle of birth and death at the earliest! Travel in human form is the most pleasant experience for a soul atman... it is only in human form a soul atman regained its lost original pure prime pristine primordial form. The concept of free will stems from the fact that we are a living consciousness... a <a href="http://www.godrealized.com/glossary/Spirit.html" rel="nofollow">spirit</A> that has manifested human form to work out its karma! Every soul atman is always independent of other... no matter what! Human beings are invested with power of discrimination that makes us exercise free will... the dominant cosmic force that distinguishes us from animals!

I think Jesus' parable of the talents is a good example. The "talents" (unit of money) in the parable are our karma, what we were given, born with. What we do with that is the story. I think Karma is very misunderstood in America. It is seen as a punishment, or a controlling force somehow. It is not. It is what we bring with us from past lives. Some of it is useful tools, some of it is just baggage. I agree 100% here. I think Jesus’ parable of the talents is a good example.

I must be aware of this at every moment when I make decisions. :-) It’s good to hear that we are capable of creating new karma. I must be aware of this at every moment when I make decisions. :-)
