Karma is something that I believe in as a part of everyday life. It comes as natural to me as breathing and that is because I feel as though I experience it.
First, the basics. What is Karma and what religion does it belong to?
The first one is an easy enough answer: Karma is the universal law that what you put out into the world comes back to you.
The word "Karma" is of Indian origin. It is a prevalent belief in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism & Sikhism. However, the concept of Karma is known throughout many different religions.
For example, the Christian faith refers to Karma as:
7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. (Galations 6:7-8)
In essence, what you do comes back on you.
The New Age/Wiccan movements defines Karma as the "Law of Threefold". They believe whatever energy you put out (and the drive of it) will come back onto the owner three-fold. This shows in the motto: "And in it, harm none". If you put negative energies out into the universe it is bound to come back on you.
Even in Western Culture the concept of Karma exists without the connotation of religious belief. Ever heard the saying "What goes around comes around"?
I believe that Karma is inherent in the universe - that is why it is so prevalent in so many different cultures and belief systems. You do good, you have good Karma. You do bad and watch your back. This is the universe's way of policing the energies.
If you pay enough attention, you will see Karma in your everyday life.
So, Karma is definitely one of the banters that I back wholeheartedly.
Do you believe in Karma in any of it's forms?
