  • Dear Savita

    Thanks for sharing your dream, it is very interesting.

    I had a similar dream last year, after a waking from a another very strange dream my left hand had become completely paralysed and I was plagued by really weird dreams for about three months afterwards.

    In one of these dreams, I had to go somewhere to try to get home, but instead of God asking me for money, there were two really stern (one particularly) nasty guardsman asking me for an extortinate amount of money for a train ride.

    I ran away, refused to pay, and just got onto another train while the doors where closing shut, more guards entered and were searching for people’s tickets, so I ran off the train as it stopped at a station near to where I live, I squeezed through a metal gate and I escaped into the sunshine.

    About a week later I had another dream where I managed to get to where I needed to without anyone trying to stop me, and shortly after that my hand completely recovered. (until that point only one finger had remained paralysed)

    Karma is turned into physical reality, but our SUBSEQUENT belief in its consequences can create a negative response pattern, so that what we choose subconconsiously becomes a self perpetuating reality, “I have done wrong, I deserve punishment, therefore I will put myself in situations where I can be punished”. A program of behaviour, the code of which can only be broken by us seeking forgiveness and forgiving ourselves.

    Maybe I was paralysed by a fear, or something from a past life, but what was in the past is manifest here in the present, and here is where it can only be resolved. To be free from the cycle that just takes us back to nowhere.

    Forgiveness is there I believe, but sometimes the hardest thing of all is for us to accept that it is that simple, and we have punished ourselves enough and have shown we have learned, and can forgive ourselves.

    With love

  • It’s a consequence of being part of the whole “circle of life”, made of material and spiritual things.

  • there are moments in our lives we have not yet learned what is right, what is wrong. it is only until they are done, that we do. every man has his own way of learning. we go through what doesn’t work, So We Know What Will Work.. when we begin to question these things, it’s a GOOD thing. We may very well be on our way to finding out what does work. And Always forgive yourself, it’s okay when you didn’t know…*

  • yes and we do things we should think what might comes up,,,,,,,,,and so many times we r so into doing something that we forget the later consequences,,,,,,,,, and we might pay a lot,,, we might risk our own goodness,,,,, and sometime it might be too late,,,,,,,,,but when we do those what ever- its sometime worth to take the risk,,, it might give us a vvvery important path in our way of life and than those consequences,,,,,we should say thank G-d.

  • I am a consequence. I am a result. So the phylosophy above is right.

  • Karma. I wonder if (for those who believe in “karma”) the word “consequences” here might be substituted with the word “karma”: A Warrior of Light knows that everything a person does has enduring karma. And the word ENDURING being the key to this phrase.

    I am not suggesting this in any judgmental way, just pondering my own life and the obstacles I face in attempting to follow my path. I once had a dream - many years ago, but I still remember it vividly: In this dream I was in a Gigante store (something like the Mexican equivalent of WalMart of Target), and I was buying up all these things, filling my cart to the brim, and I was just so carefree in doing so, like nothing mattered at all, like there was no limit to the amount I had to spend. Then, when I had finally satisfied all my desires, I pushed my cart into the check-out line. There, much to my surprise, I was met with a smile, not by the face of a normal human - the cashier whose was checking out my goods was none other than God! He was pleasant enough, rather matter-of-fact, and said not a word about any of the questionable (morally questionable?) items I had selected to buy. He didn’t even comment on the gross excess of it all. He just slid it, item by item, over that bar code reader - beep…beep…beep… - until the cart was empty and the total reached. Then he just looked at me across the counter, leaning in a little, as though to prevent the other shoppers from overhearing what he had to say to me, then he asked, gesturing to this neon sign at the front of the store: “Did you know this is Life…?” And sure enough, the sign read not “Gigante,” as I expected, but “Life” - the name of the store I was shopping in was “LIFE.” I just looked at him with a blank sort of stare, because I had no idea where he was going with this, or what it meant. So, he leaned in a little closer and added, “In Life you don’t get to leave until all the items in your cart are paid for in full.” Just in that moment, I reached into my pocket to get my money and pulled out nothing but a handful of change.

    That dream has always haunted me. Recently, over the past few days especially, I have been pondering this idea of karma. It is hard for me to rid myself of the idea, and yet it is hard for me to accept it completely, at least for me to accept it graciously and quietly. I rant against God and I say, “Okay, okay, I know all the things I did.” Between the ages of fourteen and twenty-four alone I probably did enough damage to other people’s lives to warrant in return a whole lifetime of suffering on my part. Still yet, there is a part of me that screams, “Enough already! There’s got to be some end to this tab!” It’s like paying a note with interest and not knowing if the amount your paying each month is even being contributed to the principle. You know you probably “deserve” whatever hardships and frustrations and obstacles come your way, but at the same time, you think, when will this bill ever be paid in full? Surely the wheel of fortune just has to turn and swing the other way someday soon!

    Or perhaps I am all flawed in my thinking. There must be another way to view this thing. Do we create the obstacles by our own negative thinking: by expecting the outcome to be negative, our efforts to be in vain, our desires and expectations to be frustrated? And if this is so, how does one make the shift from expecting the sky to fall on one’s head every time one dares reach out for what they want? How does one convince oneself that success IS possible after such a long line of excruciating defeats?

    Any advice welcome.

    Love,
    Savita
