Destined Consequences
Consequences are both bad and good, even though we usually think of something bad if we hear the word consequence. There is good and bad karma or returns which come to an individual or a group and which are imposed as fate.
The power of a karma when karma is used with its original meaning, which is an act, is the attachment which is exhibited during the act.
This is hard for some of us to accept because we feel that no one should be able to get away with anything, For instance let us say that a man kills another man, then another assailant kills yet another man, we expect that both criminals will be dealt with in an equal way which suits the crime.
We feel uneasy if one criminal is given a commuted sentence while the other is given the death penalty. However our sense of reasoning is not consistent with the way material nature operates. Even though we are disagreeable to her methods still we cannot change them permanently, even though here and there we may enforce our view.
For the purpose of inSelf Yoga™ the yogi should work on the attachment energy which is involved in any desirable or undesirable activity. He should practice to withdraw the attachment energy in any act, even in desirable or pleasurable one. If he does this the act’s consequences will have little or no impact on him.
When an act is committed, regardless of if it is a good or bad act, there is deposited with that act some attachment energy. This remains with the impression of the act in the subtle body and in the psychic material nature. Later when the return or fly back of the act is served by fate, the energy is powered by the attachment force which was deposited with the act.
The yogi must also understand what is kundalini attachment and what is core-self attachment. These two are not one and the same, even though they appeared to be merged to those with no insight.
The yogi is responsible for kundalini attachment. He is also responsible for core-self attachment, But the kundalini type is not the core-self type. Paying fines for the traffic violations of a teenage child is not the same as paying fines which the parent incurred. The parent must pay both fines but still the teenage child’s violations are not the parent’s.
Even though a yogi must pay the fly back returns of acts done by kundalini that does not mean that those conditions effect the core-self in the same way as acts which the core-self invested a strong attachment to.
