In our first Meta Meet, we talked about karma and the idea of action rippling back to you, and the need to own your life circumstances, whether they're happy or challenging, as part of your chosen design to work on rebalancing various issues. This is an important concept; it goes to answer that ever-present question, "How can a good God do bad things to good people?" A profound understanding of karma means that nobody's punishing anyone - rather, you create your own circumstances by your choices, and the universe is always fair and just in creating perfect balance to those choices and allowing you to decide how and when you're going to accept the consequences.

 

People come and go in your life. Some bring very powerful impact, some stay a lifetime, some float in and out, some are there just for a short period of time. The ones who make the great impact, be it for the good or not, can be considered your karmic ties. You either have karma to work out with them (which could be difficult) or you have blessings and joy to receive from them (which is always happy). The wheel turns, and "what goes around, comes around." It's hard to accept the notion at first that everything is chosen, that you even chose your family. But once you get down with that notion, you can start putting your troubles into a new perspective. You can start owning them. And then you can start mastering them.

 

Many clients come with an attitude that they are victims, that someone or something else is making them suffer, and that they're helpless in the face of their fate... none of which is true. In a good reading, the empowerment comes directly from this initial understanding: you created it in the first place, and you signed up for it in this lifetime, and you can work with it. You have all the talents and logical and intuitive tools to resolve the problems and manifest your greatness.

 

I'm enjoying offering these meetings, talks. It feels like the fulfillment of my life's work. The sharing and the accepting of the role of teacher. But teachers need a break, so in between everything, I try to play as much as possible, keep that inner child awake and alive.

 

Happy Summer, all,
