ABOUT THE KARMA PART 2
In the same approach as our first part on the topic "About Karma", now we will continue in this second part by asking the question of "how does the process of redemption after voluntary amendment? " with some extracts from the Grail Message of Abdrushin (Abd-ru-shin) as an illustration on a multitude of cases:
“Let us give just one simple example: A mother loves her son so dearly that she resorts to all manner of means to prevent him from marrying and leaving her. She continually chains him to herself. Such love is wrong, purely egotistical, and selfish, even if the mother, in her opinion, does everything to make her son’s life on earth as pleasant as possible. With her selfish love she has wrongly interfered in the life of her son. Genuine love never thinks of itself, but always of the advantage of the beloved one, and acts accordingly, even if it involves self-sacrifice. The mother’s hour to be called away arrives. The son is left on his own. Now, however, it is too late for him to arouse that joyful enthusiasm for the fulfillment of his wishes, which only youth has at its command. But, in spite of everything he has made some gain, for he redeems something through this imposed renunciation. Be it something of a homogeneous kind from a former life, whereby he avoids inner loneliness which he would have experienced in a marriage, or it might be something else. He can only benefit through such things. The mother, however, has taken her selfish love with her. Therefore the power of attraction of spiritual homogeneity draws her irresistibly to people of similar qualities, for in their vicinity she is able, through the intuitive life of such people, to experience a small part of her own passion when they practice their selfish love towards others. Therefore, she remains earthbound. Should procreation take place with persons in whose vicinity she continually finds herself, she will incarnate there through the link of her spiritual enchainment. But then the tables will be turned. As a child she will now have to suffer from the same characteristic in her father or mother as she once caused her child to suffer from. In spite of her longing to leave the parental home, and the opportunities to do so, she cannot free herself. Her guilt will thus be atoned for, and she will be freed from it by recognizing through personal experience that such qualities are wrong.”
2. Lecture - Symbolism in the fate of man :
“Let us take an example: A once hard, domineering character has burdened himself with heavy karma by indulging these attributes through the oppression of his fellow men, which karma then runs its cycle according to its specific nature, and must fall back upon him with the same characteristics, but many times reinforced. As it approaches, this current of ruthless despotism, often reinforced immensely through the Law of Attraction of ethereal homogeneity, will so permeate the whole ethereal environment of that person that it will have an incisive effect on the gross material environment with which it is closely connected, thereby creating conditions that force the originator to suffer to a far greater extent from a similar tyranny as did the people he once tormented.
If such a person has arrived at a better understanding in the meantime and has, through his genuine efforts to ascend, gained a more luminous and lighter environment, then of course the nature of the final effect will also be changed. The returning denser darkness will be more or less permeated depending on the degree of luminosity of the new surrounding of the person concerned and will thus be rendered more or less harmless. In the case of great ascent of the former tyrant, that is, if the guilty person has made exceptional improvement, it may happen that the original process of redemption will be as good as canceled, and that he will only do something in passing which outwardly resembles atonement. Let us suppose it be the case of a woman. It would suffice for her to take the brush out of her servant girl’s hand to show her in all kindness how to scrub the floor. Even if it is only a matter of a few gestures, they still satisfy the symbolism of the lowliest kind of service. This brief action results in a redemption that had to happen visibly and which, despite its ease, can end a heavy karma.
In the same way the re-arrangement of even one room can become a symbol of ending and redeeming a debt, the atonement or reciprocal action of which would have required a greater, more painfully incisive transformation. Such things occur in one way or another through the weakened influence of a reciprocal action; or random actions are often skillfully used by the spiritual guidance to bring about redemption.
In all this it is naturally presumed that an exceptionally great upsurge, with a corresponding change in the condition of the soul, has already set in circumstances that an astrologer is actually unable to take into account, and as a result of which he often occasions unnecessary worries with his calculations, sometimes even evoking such fear that the power of this alone is able to call forth or form something unpleasant, thus fulfilling the calculation, however, only apparently, when without such fear it would have proved to be wrong. In such cases, however, the person concerned has through his fear opened a door in the circle of light surrounding him. Whenever a man voluntarily stretches out his hand beyond his protecting cover no help can come to him from any direction. His own will breaks every protection from within, whereas nothing can reach him through the Light from outside unless he exercises his own volition.
Hence the smallest kindness to a fellow man, a genuinely felt sorrow of a neighbor, even a single friendly word, can lead to the symbolic redemption of karma, as soon as inwardly the underlying foundation is earnest striving for what is good.
Naturally this earnest striving for the good must come first; for otherwise there can be no question of symbolic redemption, and all the returning currents would have to work out to the fullest extent. As soon as a person’s earnest volition to ascend sets in, however, he will quickly notice how his surroundings become gradually more and more animated. It is as if all sorts of things were being put in his path, but they always turn out well which becomes strikingly apparent to him. Finally, however, it will become just as apparent that a more peaceful period has set in, a time when it is clearly noticeable that everything that happens also serves to uplift him in an earthly sense. Then the time for redemptions is over. With joyful thanks he may cherish the thought that much guilt has fallen from him, for which he would otherwise have had to do heavy penance. He must then be on his guard that his volition and desires only weave good threads of fate so that only good can return to him!
