I see karma as
spiritual inertia.
All forms of energy balance within their own dimensional continuum. Cold is balanced by heat, dark is balanced by light, and hate is balanced by love.
Karma is the energy balance that takes place within the dimensional continuum of consciousness. Its a universal truth that all energy ultimately seeks equilibrium.
The domain of consciousness is
experience -- that's what it does: experiences things. When negative experience occurs it causes an imbalance in the field of consciousness, because negativity is really just the perception of separation, which is a state of
imbalance, energetically speaking.
So the moment you have separation, of any kind, you have karmic imbalances. This "disharmony" must then be "worked off" so to speak, in order to come
more into alignment with universal consciousness. It even has a sort of "gravity", in that it will "pull" you towards balancing experiences. But some souls become extremely resistant, and fight this process, which merely delays the lessons they must learn in order to progress to a higher spiritual vibration.
Since this mis-alignment was brought on through disharmonious experience, it can then only be
re-aligned through experience of yet an opposite nature -- that being the positive, which is the
domain of balance itself.
So say you kill someone -- this act can throw your spiritual energy into a kind of chaos, depending on the ramifications of this action (how consciousness interpreted the event). Think of it as creating a gash or cut on your spirit. These gashes can only be healed through love and forgiveness. Forgiveness and love are stabilizers of karma. They are the positive energy that heals the negative. And they are positive because they extend naturally from the concept of oneness -- one is all, and all is one.
So this kind of karma would NOT be be balanced by the murderer getting murdered himself, as Erin pointed out above. However, oftentimes you will see souls place themselves in similar circumstances as the one they put their victims in, in order to
understand what they did. Its to invoke compassion within them for what the other soul experienced. THIS is how the karma is
actually resolved. Its always about
love.
All experience is shared ultimately.
So you can see how, ultimately, karma is there for our spiritual benefit. It's to lift the soul force and bring it back to the absolute point -- the oneness.
