Karma moves like a current in the sea… like the flow of the wind on a chaotic breezy day. It carries you, families, and nations wherever it does.
Feeling into someone’s karma may prompt you to warn them or inform them of what you feel and see. You may just think you could tell them, “Hey, look at this. Now that you see it, just snap out of it.” But of course, it is not so simple.
Karma overtakes people by casting a spell, by putting them into a sort of trance state. Once in that state, it seems they have no choice but to think, act, and believe in accord with the current of that trance, where ever it leads. At first it is a frightening thing to witness. In time, you understand and act artfully in your dealings with the world of winds of karma.
Why are people so susceptible to the winds of karma? Because we all long to fly. We long for frictionless flow in our lives. In fact, such natural flow is your birthright. Note there are karmic winds yet there is also the Cosmic Flow, the Cosmic Current that is one with the depth and breadth of all that is. A frictionless Divine Current underlies all that is, just as the silent stillness at the depth of the ocean underlies all the chaotic waves on the surface.
Your physiology is designed to evolve. It evolved into existence. Evolution is its way, its nature, it’s sustenance in life. Evolution culminates with a Being who has caught the Cosmic Wave, the natural flow of their Divine Essence.
The physiology evolves in that direction. It longs for the Cosmic Wave. Yet all along the way, karmic waves ensnare your life through that same mechanic of the physiology… the longing to catch The Wave.
Your affinity for your karma is really just misplaced trust. You long for God. As a result of that longing, you grasp at karmic waves, which then capture you and carry wherever they do, throughout the ages.
I implore you. Do not stop until you find the Cosmic Wave and allow it to catch your sail.

Whatever you want, 90% is just showing up.
Want to have a PhD? Just keep showing up to college. Become more spiritual? Just keep showing up to meditation, classes, temple. Be in good shape? Just keep showing up at the gym. Good parent? Just keep showing up for your kids.
Really and truly, if you just keep showing up, you will attain great things in this life. It is just that simple. Just keep showing up.
Once you are there, you will do the other 10% as a matter of course.

Neither of these quotes stands alone as the way to manifest your dreams. Taken together they paint the picture.
“The empires of the future are the empires of the mind.” – Winston Churchill
“Leadership is action, not position”. – Unknown
Said another way:
Many are great conceptualizers. Few are great actualizers. It is not what you can do. It is what you actually do that matters.

The Absolute is perceived through the lens of the personality self, complete with the distortions of conditioned emotional responses, belief systems, and indoctrinations.
Before the Hubble telescope, the land telescopes we used looked toward the sun as if from the bottom of a 10 foot deep swimming pool. The image was distorted. These parallel (map) nicely.
As you evolve, the window of perception clears, as if you are moving toward the surface of the swimming pool. Yet be it from the bottom of the swimming pool or the top of the highest mountain, you are looking at the same sun, which maps on to the absolute. Even an earthworm, with relentless conviction, crawls through the soil reaching toward the sun.
Evolution means increasing clarity… less distortion. Yet all remain fervent in their devotion to their conditioning, for though they see the rays of the sun and feel them touching the depth of their soul, they see and feel it through the lens of their conditioning. They therefore ardently hold to their conditioned beliefs, thinking them to be the truth of the absolute.
Even the atheists (Those poor souls that were presented with such a distorted notion of God that they rejected the notion in total.) continue to feel the pull of Truth, though the very idea of capitalizing the word ‘truth’ may offend them. Yet it is that light, that sun, that truth (that Truth) that all of life gravitates toward. Just as all water most assuredly returns to the ocean, all souls return to God.

The root is solid, unshaken by thoughts and emotions, while the branches sway and flutter with every breeze. Yet they are connected.
Emotions are connected to the heart of your soul. Yet the very heart of your soul remains untouched, unfettered, unshaken.
To what degree are your emotions in infinite harmony with the depth of your being? Yes, that is the question.
The answer lies within the place that remains untouched. Awaken to that. Only then will you have your answer. Yet the answer will even then not be a quantifiable fact. It will be a feeling.
Wisdom is a feeling.
