The Law of Karma
Traditional Shamans know that all of creation was created
from the very Breath of Creator. In the beginning was the
word. A spoken word , spoken with breath. Spoken with the
breath of Creator, the very Essence of Creator. So all
things are considered Divine in Essence and manifest into
physical form. All four elements are the very Essence of
Creator . So everything created from those four elements
of fire water air and earth are manifested forms of the
very Essence of Creator. So metal objects and trees and
chairs and buses and pencils are all created of the very
Essence of Creator. And The Essence of Creator is not
dead, it is not inert, it is not lifeless. Do you think
that Creator would use Creators’ own Essence to create
something and then leave it lying there dead? Not at all!
So everything created of the four elements which are the
breath of Creator are alive, living, sentient, thinking,
feeling , having a life experience of their own here with
us. And these sentient beings in their millions of
manifest forms become manifest because Creator wants to
give us a physical life experience to recognize Creator
more fully. So that we can recognize the Essence of
Creator in that chair, in that tree, in that stone, all
those manifest forms of the very Essence of Creator. And
these manifest forms around us that Creator created, are
here to nurture us and support us and protect us and
nourish us and even pleasure us! And they do so willingly
because they are happy to be manifesting the intention of
Creator for us! Isn’t it a shame that we cannot be happy
doing our mission here on earth as well as that stone is
or that tree is or that cow is? The reason we don’t is
because we have egos and that stone does not have an ego
separating it from Creator.
Earth Mother, with all her creatures and things is
considered sacred to the Traditional Shaman. With this
understanding you can see that it would be impossible to
live without interfacing and affecting other living
sentient beings around you. Every action, every word you
speak has some consequence on the entire universe.
Although it is impossible to live in this world without
affecting someone or something, the Traditional Shaman
walks this path while trying not to create unnecessary
infringements on the other Sentient beings that Creator
created and put here around us.
This is a universal law of non infringement. It says that
everything you do has a consequence. Some people call this
karma, everything you do produces good karma or bad karma
depending on whether your thought, word or act benefits
the sentient beings around you or infringes upon their own
free will and harms them. If you don’t take responsibility
for the consequences of your thoughts word and actions
then fate steps in and does it for you without any
kindness or love or feeling of any kind. Fate then takes
over and you are given back the results of your choices to
the same degree as you affected the world around you. Fate
will simply bring back to you what you sent out. And so it
is not God who punishes you , it is not bad luck that
causes your misfortune. It is not other people who cause
you to be angry or frustrated. It is the consequences of
what you have already put out into the world coming back
to you to the same degree that you have created yourself.
There is also a beautiful teaching in this idea that
divine retribution is the interaction between destiny,
fate and consequence and that is that every single thing
you do to improve yourself, to grow spiritually, to raise
yourself to a higher level of awareness and connection
with the Essence of Creator personally, also raises up the
entire universe to the same degree! So everything you do
to make yourself a better person also makes this world a
better place for all of us! And this is what a true healer
is. Someone who works on healing him or herself knowing
that every improvement he or she makes within oneself
helps to heal everyone else. If you want to call yourself
a healer, this is what to do. It’s not about healing
others. It’s about healing yourself as the universal law
says: as within, so without, as above, so below. The law
of karma.
