| We all know that old expression "karma is a bitch"?? Most think it means that people who do harm/wrong to others will suffer in the long run. That is partially true.
For those of us who believe in Karma, visual manifestation, good over evil, white light, etc etc...Karma is the witchy equivalent of the "10 commandments". If you really think about it, all major and minor religions are based on the same premise, the "do unto others " theory. In paganism it's "harm ye none":
The Basics Of Karma Simply put, karma is the result of an act or deed, either in the present, recent past or in past lives. Many people for some reason, think there is only 'bad' karma. But think about it, if you owe karma to someone, then someone is in a position to receive a karmic repayment. So there is both positive and negative aspects of karma. Karma however is not the same thing as what has become known as the law of return, or the 3fold law. In actuality, these are not laws of "return", but rather accountability. To further confuse the issue, not all traditions of paganism follow the 3fold law, or a law of return. Some adhere to a 9fold or even a 10fold law. The best way to think of this is: Karma is the result of an action. 3fold, 9fold, 10fold is the action and your accountability to it.
and I have to remind myself of this daily.
Before I giggle at those who are less fortunate than myself to be blessed with curves, I need to remember somewhere out there is a car full of people hurling insults at some poor lowly skinny chick calling her a 2x4. *batting eyes at Kate aka piercedbbw* Before I am judgmental on those whose sexual fantasies are less than my vanilla ones (give me spike or give me death), I need to remember that could be me, trussed up like a turkey behind a mask and gag having my eyeballs licked. And before I click the next fashion cam, remember that I wear black, not because it is THE color to wear but have fooled myself into believing it will hide all my cellulite.
I'm walking living proof *as my ass expands* that karma is a bitch. |
