Karma isn't a Thing

Karma isn't real. There is not a universal retribution system. That's an outdated story designed merely to create control. That it's been repeated for centuries does not make it true. That it offers, perhaps, succor to those who have been or felt harmed, or afraid to exact their own retribution upon an offending party, does not make it true. That is gives deities a job, according to us, of course, does not make it true. That it helps us feel there is a sense of 'balance' in the world, one that ideally tilts toward justice, does not make it true.

There is no inherent mechanism in the ether or in the heart of All That Is or God that judges.

Judgment and the desire for revenge or justice, no matter how we define it, is our invention.

Consciousness and God (see my definitions here) have nothing to do with, no connection to human behavior or divisions of any kind. Consciousness and God know no division: there is no other. There.is.no.other.

Because there is no other, there merely is. Merely is leaves no space between something happening and the next happening: breath, cell splitting, atomic sigh, leaf rustle, breeze, bend in a wave of time or water. All Things knows no separation and has no concept of a 'should'. It is. It knows 'is'. Period and only. All it knows is that all is, as it is and contains no item or idea or spaceholder between is. There are no hierarchies, taxonomies, carceral divisions, dichotomies, differences between shadow and light, sound or silence (that actually isn't silent).

Man, humankind (or not-so-kind) created laws and commandments long before Moses was an idea. Consciousness has one 'mind' and that is nothing more than constant replication of consciousness in as many forms as can be created and we are blessed to be part of that process. Consciousness doesn't think, it doesn't judge, it doesn't weigh benefits, efficiencies, effort or reward. It seeks nothing, asks nothing, demands nothing. In that there is no punishment, no discord; merely constant movement that includes tension and torsion --but only as we decide to give that a measure and name. It is not inherent, movement is.

God, within the definitions I use in the moment, is merely, only, singularly and nothing more than the constant replication of love; seeking avenues for it's fullest expression, growing and moving love. It does not have human emotion, is not a personality or personalities. It is not the image we've made it to be. It is no image, it is not all things but moves through all things. It is merely, only, singularly love and has the capacity to be expressed through all forms. All forms. God energy only loves, is love, can do nothing more than love, cannot exist where there isn't room for it and creates solely for it's expression. God seeks nothing, desires nothing, demands nothing. In that there is no punishment, no discord; merely constant expression of love through all things.

It is a force of nature that moves through every aspect of nature. It is as powerful as water, moves like water and wind and within the spaces where there is no water or wind. It knows when it is not being fully expressed and creates with Consciousness the avenue for love's expression to be realized knowing that it must be felt to be replicated through the organisms that are not expressing it.

God-love isn't differentiated between atoms and Adam nor is it subdivided into 'types'. There is but one God, there is but one god-love. We decided on the rest: that only some are deserving, some more than others, its commodification, it being too far, too much, not enough, classified into types and sub-categories. We're the ones that have created stories about it to explain the sense of awe and wonder and to control and punish. And those stories miss the truth by a mile and millenia.

God and Consciousness don't punish, reward, withhold, demand obedience 'or else'. Nothing waits for you to die to force you to be reborn as a bug or decides that since you are as you are made and unfold along with it's unfolding, you are less deserving of love or opportunity or beauty or other life-stuff. Life, quite literally, keeps life-ing without any judgment. Love keeps loving without any judgment, it's a continuous unfolding expression. We are the only judges. And, in our judgment, actively seek to turn away from that love.

God is love. God is only love. We, through our stories and judgments, are the only impediment in its fullest expression. And, even in our judgments, we are not being judged. We are not 'called toward' love. We are love's very expression and can choose how that appears in the lived world we humans share with every other atom and space between those atoms.
