Karma of Tibet and China

Credit: Frederic J. Brown https://www.pri.org

There’s a question about Tibet and China in the near future.

Hilarion: Well, there is this likelihood as things tend to go, that the political sphere will allow things as they've been to continue. What has happened is that the many people in USA and in Europe who are aware of the injustices and the difficulties that have been perpetrated on the Tibetan people by the Chinese: the taking of lands, the destruction of temples, all of this; they have seen of this and have not participated in stopping it. To do so, of course is relatively simple: stop buying anything made in China. When you do so, lodge your discontent with how they have treated the Tibetans and indeed if everyone on the planet did this it would probably take less than two weeks for reparations to be made.

Yes, it's true that would be a gesture, the harm that has been done cannot to a large extent be undone. But, there would at least be an acknowledgment because China is very dependent on goods being sold to everyone else on the planet. But, people have not done this, even though it has been suggested, even though there has been a lot of information about this because you think that you are more addicted to your goods from China than is actually the case. This is the continuation of this energy. It just keeps going and going, so you go with it.

So, it is also that the governments who could have taken a stand against this did not. Partly because of the economic situation where China owns real estate, bonds, government obligations of all types and so on. You could say they are running the show. In point of fact, of course, they are missing something very important. The Tibetan people, far more than most other countries have a devotion to consciousness, spirituality, awakening and things that would be of tremendous value to the Chinese. A tremendous value to everyone on this planet.

Indeed, it has been a part of their own spiritual development alongside of their own material development in the way that some other countries have worked with this. But, to a large extent the uncovering of service to self has been a tremendous motivator so that the religious leaders, instead of garnering tremendous power for themselves, have to a large extent shared it with the others.

But, karmically speaking many of these individuals are balancing out energetics from the past. So, it is seen that the best hope is that there will be more and more acceptance of some of these ideas of spirituality and consciousness and understanding and over and over penetrating past the dogma, past the accounts of a single individuals but to that which is agreed upon and understood by many. So, that this will become so widespread and understood that the Chinese will have to accept it themselves. Just as has occurred over and over when any country moves in to take over another country as has occurred from Mongolia into China as has occurred from your own experience in the USA of Europeans taking over the Native American lands and of the constant movement into native cultures everywhere on your planet.

Well, there is an assimilation that takes place and eventually there is some acknowledgment, some willingness to give back. Here, when you look at it what the Tibetans would want you to give back, well yes, there will be land, there will be some repatriation perhaps, some money, but the most important thing is the spiritual teaching. The wisdom and understanding about the nature of consciousness, the nature of being-ness and the ways in which the Tibetans have in so many ways shown people ways of service to all and understanding of the collective consciousness beyond that of any other religion.

So, in this way it may be assimilated and it may be that which is of positive value and there may even be a small movement at some point in the future to give back some of Tibet to the Tibetans. But, by then of course, as is always the case, the assimilation goes on and on. Just as it has in these other countries and other examples as we've given and the result is that, it never is that of what it was before nor should it be. But, that of something beyond that, that can be a benefit to all.

That is about the most hopeful way we can answer the question given the tendency, since the world did have a chance to step in and stop this but did not do so. Thus, the result has been a great deal of hardship for the Tibetans and the way in which so many in China have indeed taken over the lands and places in which these people did once have a unique and independent culture. But, we see however that the larger gift of this is the idea that many in the world are listening, reading and learning about some of the Tibetan ideas and this of course, would be helpful far beyond China.

Money & Karma

Hilarion: Bringing us to a question that has been posed about a good business that would incorporate or welcome some aspects of spirituality, of consciousness, of awakening. Does there appear to be a contradiction in terms in understanding this? The very nature of business itself is focused on profit, on bringing money. All of the things that you are going to leave behind. But, the very nature of awakening, the consciousness, the awareness, the love, these are the things you are going to take with you; you will learn from this and grow.

So, it would appear in learning from what has been successful in marketing, in making lots of money for people has been the promise of this awakening of this consciousness of more love, etc. All of the important spiritual ideals that you can list as important in your own life. If this is promised then it is that which would appear to engender a lot of attraction, a lot of money, a lot of possibility.

Karmically, you always recognize the problem with this. Because if it is only a promise and you don't deliver on that, then karmically you're doing a great disservice to others, you’re even fooling yourself. It is very difficult to do that which would guarantee some of those important spiritual values. Even some of the lesser ones such as friendship or listening or helping others. These can sometimes be difficult to provide in a marketing sense.

This at the core is the opportunity for new business; for a way in which this poor fit between profit and true potential or consciousness could work together somehow in the world. It must be more than a promise. It must be that which delivers. It must be the way in which an individual for themselves is naturally going to, as a result of whatever is offered, be able to enhance or bring up their own consciousness, etc.

So, naturally you come into areas of education, areas of coaching, areas in which you are communicating with others to help them to a higher level of consciousness. But, along the way it is very helpful if a continuous evaluation of oneself takes place.

Am I only promising or am I delivering? This is a very difficult place and there are very few, even of the greatest gurus and teachers that have ever done this. They bring their information forward and let it go and this is perfectly appropriate if there is little in the way of karma engendered. Specifically, as soon as money gets involved, karma isn't usually very far behind because after all what does money signify but the idea of debt and borrowing and promises and all of these things that have symbolic meaning to their reminder to you of your own karma.

So, if it is that which is being offered freely you can pretty much go anywhere you want with it, karmically speaking. But, if it is that which money does play an important role or even specifically if you are designing your enlightenment or education or awakening or consciousness or coaching business to bring in money, then the karmic issues must show up. In the sense that whether you say so or not, you are making a promise; you are loaning your consciousness to the other person in a sense and to be true to this it is important to understand two things: there are two paths that now illustrate and understand for you by your own nature what is really going on here.

This is different. It used to be the only path of the karma. You would create a promise, an issue, you would deliver or not and have to deal with it later where there was a problem or an imbalance perhaps even into the next life or into the next and on and on it would go.

But, the other possibility here is that even when you don't deliver there is sufficient love, there is sufficient forgiveness, there is sufficient energy associated with love that the karma is dissolved. This is pretty tricky because it's saying that it is possible to do business in a way that does create problems, expectations, debts, various issues and this would not have significant residue if you had enough love.

The jury is out on that one, one might say as to how this might be an application of the ability to use love to dissolve karma when you know ahead of time that you are creating karma. But, it is an intriguing one to think about for one simple reason: that at some point when the love is strong enough, when it truly does melt and reach and connect, it does something spiritually much more profound and powerful than what you had promised. It is showing your own self-revelation.

It often at such a level then would require an individual to give back any money that they had taken in simply and purely out of their own forgiveness. It might require them to go into a position of deep service or assistance to someone else. The way in which this manifests is that which people may begin to think about even more now that this idea of dissolving karma with love has been introduced.

Karma, Human Trafficking and the Victim -Perpetrator Cycle

http://www.impactingourfuture.com

Hilarion: For the individual who asked about human trafficking, we ask her to go into her own mind to a time in which she could acknowledge the possibility that she was the perpetrator of this. That in a position where she feared for her own life, listening to her masters or the bosses or the people in her family, she brought concubines into the society. She brought others who would willingly submit to acts of depravity or difficulty as she would view them. To do so out of fear is understandable, fear of your own life being lost. 

But, recognize the possibility that there was within you an addiction to this, that it became a powerful energy to see of the energetic influence you had on others. How you could bend them to your will and how you could bring them into a place in which you made a lot of money, or gained a lot of power, or other people looked up to you or you gained tremendous respect and eventually even rose to the top in this profession overturning your bosses and maintaining control.

If you can forgive yourself now bringing all of the love, all of the pink light to know that you did the best you could under those situations and had you known what you know now, you would have done differently. But, then you did not. You see then in that forgiveness there is a powerful energy, that it is a forgiveness that you have given to yourself many times since that lifetime, of course. But, still a little of this has hung on for you. A little of the sadness associated with it, a little of the guilt so that when you see human trafficking in this life you feel for it, it touches you deeply. Forgive that, too. Forgive every aspect within your own consciousness that allows you to see yourself as a victim, even though you have not been a victim. As a perpetrator, even though you have not been a perpetrator. It is by your imagination here as then by circumstance, as by what could've happened, go I. Is a thought about this.

This deeper level of forgiveness begins in your heart with each breath there is an expansive energy, a loving energy. That loving energy goes to everyone who has been in a similar situation, not as a pink light or a visualization or an imaginative but, as your own energy of your own forgiveness, a powerful transformative energy that says even as I forgive myself so you, too. Perhaps, this “you too,” is not yet a forgiveness. It is just a questioning, looking at it and asking is there a better way? Knowing that there has been a way for someone else. Perhaps it is a deeper forgiveness, perhaps it is a readiness to let go of this difficulty.

Now of course this sort of visualization and imaginative journey can take place with any crime. The interesting thing here is a deeper answer in some way to the question, "why do you forget?" When you go from one lifetime to the next why do you forget what has happened to you? For many individuals if you did remember it, it would be so horrifying, so frightening and so for this we give you the little hint.

Is there some issue in the world that takes your attention? Some issue where you feel perhaps there was a great injustice, something about what you feel self-righteous? You know your issues. It may be any of a thousand different things; a particular crime that really gets your goat. A particular injustice that really gets you steamed up. Guess what? That's the one that you have a sensitivity to for a good reason. Because that emotional holdover that which was not released or forgotten; the emotional side of this, it is with you. It is with you not usually from just one lifetime but from several and you can pretty much bet with nearly 100% accuracy that you were the perpetrator, perhaps as well as the victim. So, in this way the perpetrator energy is with you now in a new context with an opportunity to release it with the greatest degree of love and forgiveness and caring.

Hold a little baby in your arms and project a beautiful, powerful loving light to a person you care for deeply and imagine yourself swimming with the beautiful dolphins or enjoying the interaction with a guide or helper animal. Feel that love in your heart from any of these or any other situation you can imagine and now very deliberately turn that loving energy onto that past life as perpetrator as you might imagine it could've been.

No, you have no evidence of this but just take perhaps this moment on faith that it's there somewhere and forgive. Project that same energy, that same loving, that same embrace, that same joyful energy and experience it deeply as if that energy and that love can heal across the centuries and allow that energy now to dissipate in a new way and it touches anyone who has been struggling with this issue and enables them to perhaps look at it again. Perhaps, even in this life contemplate again their life, their actions, their crimes, their willingness to shift to a life more of service to others, than of service to self and how that might be enjoyable, might be fun, might even be loving and expansive; might even have given them more than they could have with power over others or more money or more respect not earned, but demanded.

These are difficult to do perhaps for the simple reason that you don't have the facts. You don't have the history of that life as perpetrator and it's a good thing. Because many individuals would be paralyzed knowing this, unable to engage in further relationship or understanding; seeing how far off into areas of mistakes and difficulties they were. If that's hard for you to imagine, well, have you ever thought of the dinosaurs and imagined their lives? Well, many of you have had these experiences. Your primitive soul did exist on this planet in the bodies of the dinosaurs and they were here for millions upon millions of years for so many lifetimes of violence, of the tearing of the flesh or the running away from the flesh terrors. In all of this then, all of these powerful emotional energies are with you, too.

We suggest this as a reminder because we have been speaking for a long time about the opportunity to utilize love in order to dissolve karma. Once you begin to recognize that crimes against humanity, crimes for which people are hurting people are those which can have this karmic attribute perhaps then this new energy can be introduced. This new possibility and perhaps you can go with it and take it to a place even deeper and share about this with the idea that your experiences will then be known to others.

Karma and Suffering

Hilarion: So then, this question about suffering, why is this allowed at such a powerful level? It is neither allowed nor disallowed. Part of the rule for free will is that you get to choose how you respond. Most of humanity's responses have been to the consequences of humanity's responses. That is, you are continuing the cycle of karma, cause and effect. It is not to say karma is good or bad, not to say there are "Lords," deciding. Simply, cause and effect. But the effect is what you are responding to. As we have described in the past, destiny is confusing. It is as if, then, you understand it at its deepmost level, a sonnet. You write the words, but the rhythm, the specific number of stanzas, the words themselves as they are brought together in the form of it--this is the destiny. This is predetermined.

Your responses, then, to your world would not be, perhaps, seen in a very positive light, now would they? That is, your response to war has been, frequently, more war. Your response to the gathering of power into the hands of a few has frequently been the gathering of that power into the hands of fewer still. The response to starvation, suffering and difficulty has been a minimal effort to assist, followed by waves of energy that usually concentrate in the hands of a few; resulting in more suffering.

This sequence needs to come to light. People need to understand it. This is the positive part as others viewing you, assisting you, as your own consciousness and looking at things, chooses earth. Not because the suffering has decreased, but because the education has increased--more knowledge, more awareness, less ignorance, more clarification. This is very clear and obvious across your entire planet.

It is a simple thing to see. It is a trend. It is not enough to stop the suffering. Yet, will it be successful? That depends. You already have within you, built up powerfully as a result of the suffering, one key intrinsic feature into your nature: The ability to love, the ability to love deeply, to know it on some level, that you feel it. Not just sense it or become aware of it--that is enough in itself--but you really feel it. This is beautiful. It is, of course, troublesome if such is used to distract you, which is one of the key elements of advertising, television, and many things that reuse that love aspect to pull you away from what you are here to do with that love aspect. But, as that may be so, still, it exaggerates it or strengthens it so that you know its value, and that is good.

Ultimately, though, you will have the choice to combine love and knowledge, to take what you have been educated in through your experiences on earth, in how you understand the needlessness of suffering; how you understand it at its core and choose then with what you know about what is possible by using technology, using simple means to care for others, using the spreading of more education, using whatever it takes from what you have learned to change it. That is a possible response, and it is the only response that is allowed in the sonnet as it is created. The simple reason is that never in other times has such an equal balance of love and knowledge been allowed into being as powerfully as is now occurring on earth.

Not that it hasn't been tried. Each time it was, for the most part, various disasters resulted; explosion of the planet, nuclear war, pollution to the level that the planet had to be abandoned, or other means by which the thoughtforms were sufficiently reduced that only planetary transmigration was a viable option. That means that the souls in the time between lives (intermissive, that is the definition of the time between lives) decide, "It ain't worth it anymore." They don't come to Earth, they go somewhere else. You've done this, too. In fact, under many situations and circumstances, those planets that were destroyed were planets that you were on.

In many cases, you assisted in the observation or learning about the process. In other processes, you came to understand this larger picture and saw that here on Earth, it was going to be tried again, but this time would be something a little different. There would be the manifestation on your planet;  death. The body would give out and in the time between lives, a powerful emotional force could be placed so strongly into the soul lifetime after lifetime, and more specifically intermissive period after intermissive period, that in each subsequent lifetime, though the human being would not recall the specifics, they would feel the emotion. They would know that love.

How they would use that, how they would use that to draw together consciousness, how they would use that to make the world a better place--to coin a much overused euphemism--would be the choice, the response, the words of the sonnet that the individuals could write. A difficult choice. But if you think about it from the point of free will, in which the soul, having known this powerful merging of the knowledge and the love, of the clarification and the consolation, of the aspects at the deepest level to the soul of coming to a vibration that related not so much to the self or to the planet as the solution--for after all, you don't look to Earth for your solutions, nor do you look to yourselves. You look to each other. That this would bring a sort of togetherness, a, you might call it, etheric bonding. It is a very beautiful sort of energy that is possible. It is what is so interesting, so attractive, so beautiful about Earth, and why so many beings on so many levels, physical and nonphysical are interested in what's happening in this place in this next period of time.

The exact period has been described by some prophets. That's a business that has really been through a lot of changes lately. Indeed, as the expression goes, "those who use crystal balls are bound to eat glass." But you are sure to find in your discoveries of these awakenings that you are to contribute to this more and more with each passing day. For this reason it appears that a 17 year period is now being opened to you on many levels. Some of these energies to come at different points in this evolution. But it is useful to recognize that a very powerful bringing-together of energies somewhere around 2013 (perhaps as early as 2011, but most likely around 2013) appears to chart many of the courses under which your planet will respond, and the responses will be those which affect many, not just on your planet but many parts of the galaxy.

These are energies that have to do with the changing of the very nature of time and space, so the being that you will be in 2013 is loving you, communicating with you now in this moment. He or she is sending energies that will influence how this will unfold. One of these key influences must be to shift you out of the "doingness," as the answer--a tricky proposition when all around you on your planet this is emphasized. It has been called the male aspect of being. It is the female aspect that in some ways, then, gives birth, opens the beingness. But, that "doingness," clearly is done as much by women as men. Yet, at the same time it is that which men have learned to respond to most singularly. That is, you want the guy to talk to you, and all he wants is to do something. This specific response must be understood at its core, that in some ways men realize how they have messed up your planet, and they're sort of stuck in that. So, for many reasons, then, women are the ones that many will look to for the new answers, for the new ways of seeing, but most importantly, [for] the return to beingness.

This is a challenge on many levels, no matter who you are. Right now, (1999) those who are most challenged, and we do mean right now, not so much looking into the millennium, year 2000, or any of that, but this very moment, those particularly challenged by this are the animal forms on your planet. These beautiful beings in this moment of darkness, in the time of Winter Solstice, struggle at times to understand what will happen next. They do feel and know the cycles, but this is often the time in which there is maximum shortage of food, maximum difficulty in understanding what will happen next, and the shortages and difficulties become most troublesome.

This is, of course, compounded by humanity's fear, humanity's negative thoughtforms, and humanity's struggle. So, for a moment, we would ask you to reverse this trend. Go to the place of beingness in which you know a bit of your animal nature. Pick an animal as your friend. It could be one you are intimately familiar with--sometimes called an animal totem or animal guide--or one you are not. But send some energy and some love to that being. Let that one approach you, merge with you, be you for a moment, so that you might share with that being the idea that there is light ahead, that you have been through these cycles many, many times. That you know that though there are changes afoot, still, you treasure, welcome, and learn, from the nature of the animal self; the part of you that is like that beast. But, the part that appreciates the beast on its own. You see this as a fellow traveler on your planet, and a beautiful symbol or representative of the diversity on your planet.

So then for a moment, open to all of the guides of that animal to pour through you, for the nonphysical side of this to move through you as a physical, yet also nonphysical, intermediary into the physical form of the animal. So, now for a moment the deer on your planet are nurtured, the eagles are soothed, the dolphins are spoken to, the whales are praised and known, the squid are told that they belong here, too, the insects are able to know their place, the lions to know how they reflect and know the others and on and on through all the beings that co-inhabit this planet with you. Each knows that they have a contribution to make, and that that contribution comes at an instinctual level, at a level of inner knowledge.
