Is karma actually a thing? Does one really reap what they sow? I watch assholes steadfast be assholes and get ahead by crushing others and there seems to be no punishment, universal or otherwise. I've probably been brainwashed into being a good person 🤨😑

Being an asshole is the greatest thing you can do for yourself, and the worst thing you can do for others.

The choice depends on what your goal is.

Might have to start being an asshole 🤔

🤣

I don't believe in karma, but I do believe there still be a judgement. Being good is better for you. Saying those kinds of people are "getting ahead" isn't really correct, IMO. Be you. Don't worry about those guys. But also don't allow yourself to be trampled.

But when is the judgement? If it isn't in this life time does it matter then? I suppose if you trample the assholes then the judgement should be lighter 😅

It's up to God. There's a huge debate on this in all Christian sects. I don't know enough to have an opinion on when.

Yes, I do think it matters.

the issue today is respect is earned .. and we are use to just giving respect . we also live in a non consequential world . So even of you get disrespected what the outcome , most people is nothing . But Karma is real you just may not see it

Sometimes you need to see the karma though. This is true. Nowadays the consequences tend to be nothing which makes things much more difficult.

I believe there is karma.... the energy we give is the energy we receive. Destruction to others (or at the expense of others) leads to destruction to oneself (I e., emotionally, physically, financially, etc )

Karma is happening to these individuals and you're likely not witnessing it.

For instance, think of the wealthy individuals who made money unethically who are miserable (I.e., spouse who only likes your bank account, kids who hate you for not being a good parent, health is poor from neglect, etc) . They drown their misery in drugs, alcohol, food and material purchases to feel something other than numbness of ill gotten gains.

You may think, "hey, I wouldn't mind being miserably wealthy". But if you have any morals, you will not enjoy the rise to the top at the expense of others....and it will eat away at you... Like a cancer.

That is true. Didn't look at it in this way. Definitely changes the perspective quite a bit. 💚

in the west we still classify some things as ‘real’ and ‘spiritual’, when they are all the same thing.

in the same way that WiFi and the heat from a fire are just different frequencies in a much larger energy matrix, real and spiritual are different frequencies of the same reality. we can’t see it the same way we can only see the ridiculously narrow RGB light band in the much larger energy matrix.

an observable pattern in the observable universe, is that all action produces energy which doesn’t die, but gets absorbed somewhere. in the same way, every action sows a seed which at some point will be reaped. and if part of us exists outside of time (since time is relative to mass and acceleration) then part of us is “eternal”. I don’t want to be dodging bad seed’s forever.

Great analogy!!
