Karma

"What goes around comes around. What comes around stays around".

No, this isn't a discussion of Justin Timberlake's song of the same name. I thought again of this saying when I read this little quote somewhere recently:

"Nothing can happen to you, until you allow it to happen through you."

This sounds sort of true in a way, but maybe not entirely true to me. So what is the truth about this statement, I then asked myself?

I think that this is basically talking about freedom. Nothing can ever happen to you, until you freely allow it to happen to you. And this is ultimately your free choice. At some level, you allow everything that happens to you, and around you, and through you. And this is why you are always totally responsible for yourself.

Blaming someone in their absence is a precursor to establishing a rule of blame, projected onto things outside of yourself. Nothing ever happens outside of yourself. Remember that, and accept responsibility for absolutely everything in your life now.

To repress, and deny any feelings, any emotion, or any thought, or to try to prevent what is occurring right now, is to deny our responsibility to being our true self, and so will occur karma for our self. When we are not being our true self, we are incurring karma.

"Life happens through you", means that all experiences can only be of real value to you, when you freely allow them to take place in you, and so to "happen" through you. You need to take part in life freely, for life to then free you, and to live in you freely. Freedom is acceptance and allowing. The whole Universe on the one hand is happening around you, with you a vital part of it, and in it.

You will never really see, or know this, until you allow the Universe to operate also through you. And you can only do this by you, being you. This being you, the real you, and playing your true part in life, is how you allow all experiences, and all life to come through you. And so you will then learn, as it passes through you. And you will step past the Karma of the situation, only when you learn from it.
