No-Fault Karma
Introducing No-Fault Karma
A man came to me for counseling the other day. He was distressed due to the loss of a relationship. The loss appeared to have a domino effect on his life. He had changed his whole life plan for this relationship, he said. And now, he was left in an environment he hadn't planned on being in and with responsibilities he hadn't planned on having.
These things happen. He was having a difficult time seeing beyond the immediate disturbance. He felt led astray by the other person. And he felt that he had made a bad decision. I tried to show him that the situation he found himself in may have another purpose for his presence. Tarot cards failed him. Karma failed him.
I explain that karma involves judgment, and since we cannot know how to judge, it cannot be useful to him. He has already made his judgment on the other person and on himself. Insurance companies sell karma. It's a product of the ego. I said that it isn't true that if you eat frogs legs that you come back as a salamander that is eaten by a chicken that is eaten by a human. And then where do you go? He said that there was proof of these kinds of reincarnating lives. I didn't ask where or how this proof exists. Instead, I introduced him to the concept of no-fault karma. Only now exists and if there is nothing to judge, well, simply put, we can save a lot of time and despair with no-fault karma.
His so called bad decisions were still bothering him. He said he wanted to live in the moment and that was how he wanted to make his decisions. Now, he felt, he could not trust himself. But in the moment of now, eternity exists and there can be found the answer we are looking for.
Here are a few passages from A Course in Miracles that might help you when you find yourself or a friend in a situation of this kind.
Heaven's Justice
Forgiveness is this world’s equivalent of Heaven’s justice. It translates the world of sin into a simple world, where justice can be reflected from beyond the gate behind which total lack of limits lies.
Heaven's Light
The holiest of altars is set where once sin was believed to be. Here does every light of Heaven come, to be rekindled and increased in joy. For here is what was lost restored to them, and all their radiance made whole again.
Eternal Truth
Now, in the hands made gentle by His touch, the Holy Spirit lays a picture of a different you. It is a picture of a body still, for what you really are cannot be seen nor pictured. Yet this one has not been used for purpose of attack and therefore never suffered pain at all. It witnesses to the eternal truth that you cannot be hurt and points beyond itself to both your innocence and his. Show this unto your brother, who will see that every scar is healed and every tear is wiped away in laughter and in love. He will look on his forgiveness there.
