KARMA,

Modern Ideal

Vs

The Original Idea!

.

.

For those that believe in Karma,

I am not saying your personal beliefs are wrong,

But that the original philosophy of Karma was very different from how most interpret it nowadays.

(But obviously, no one knows for sure which is right)

.

.

The modern versions seem to go,

.

.

In a Lineal Time, Version

You took advantage or bullies the disabled, So as Karma, in your next life, you be in a wheelchair.

.

.

In a Trans Temporal Version.

You were a serial killer,

So, when you die you come back as each of your victims.

Then eventually as the Cop that stopped you.

.

.

These are ideas that support that...

KARMAS A BITCH!

That it is a divine punishment carried forward from a previous sinful life!

.

.

BUT WAIT!

.

There is an original version of the idea.

.

(Just because it is older does not mean it is right and you are wrong,)

(I am just sharing information, I am not setting myself up as some dime-store guru!)

.

It is a bit complex in its raw form, so you are going to have to indulge in a Computer Game analogy.

.

REMEMBER THIS IS JUST AN ANALOGY!

.

Using the ANALOGY of a computer game to explain a far more complex spiritual philosophy!

.

I am NOT saying we live in the Matrix!

.

It is only used as an ANALOGY!

.

This is how I understood the original version of Karma,

.

(I am just going to use simple terms like ‘spirit’, instead of getting all 'book douche' about it!)

.

.

Your spirit is entering the mortal form is like someone learning to play a computer game for the first time.

.

.

Difficulty Level Creative / Tutorial.

.

Born rich, smart and good looking into a lovely easy life.

.

The sprit is not really playing to win, just learn the basic mechanics of a very complex game!

.

After the spirit has mastered the basics it then wants to play a proper version of the game.

.

.

Difficulty Normal

.

This is the normal version of the game with leads of re-playability and all sorts of difficulty sliders to tailor the gameplay styles and challenge it wants.

.

There is NO ONE WAY of winning.

.

There are no mortal concepts of Good Vs Evil,

.

Just a Spirit learning though experiences what part of the game it wanted to learn from, in any one reincarnation.

.

But after enough different play through variations, the Spirt then decides it really likes gaming,

.

.

It-dumps the crappy console and upgrades to a super cool "kick arse" gaming PC!

.

.

The spirit evolves to a much higher state!

.

.

HARDCORE MODE!

.

Now the spirit starts challenging itself with huge NERFFS like being Disabled or Born into extreme poverty or Very Low Intelligence!

.

(So, this means that such things are NOT a karmic ‘punishment’ but instead that the Spirit is choosing to reincarnate into a more changeling life to stretch its skills and help it evolve even higher!)

.

.

And of course, there is

.

SURVIVAL MODE

.

Where only the most hard-core extreme spirits operate!

.

It might also get the whatever the spiritual version of a YouTube or Twitch game streaming channel to inspire and give tips to other ‘lower’ spirits watching, who might also want to join in this game.

.

These would (theoretically) be the greatest spiritual teacher that the world has ever known!

.

It might even try and climb the equivalent of the spiritual PVP rankings!

(Once it has chosen a Faction!)

'

<Don’t ask!>

<Don’t ask what I mean by Faction!

<That brings up some unpleasant ideas and concepts that I am not touching with a 10-foot barge pole!>

'

.

REMEMBER THAT WAS JUST USED AS AN ANALOGY!

.

Using the ANALOGY of a computer game to explain a far more complex spiritual philosophy!

.

I repeat...

I am NOT saying we live in the Matrix!

.

It is only an ANALOGY!

.

NOTE

This older version just as easily fits a Lineal time Version as it does a Trans Temporal version.

.

Both temporal versions work!

.

.

NOTE:

I REPEAT!

I am not saying your personal beliefs are wrong,

Just because it is older does not mean it is right and you are wrong,

AGAIN!

I am just sharing information,

NOT setting myself up as some dime-store guru!

.

No one knows for sure which (if any) of the versions is right!

.
