The 12 Laws of Karma
Karmic Painting by Horacio Cardozo
- THE GREAT LAW - As you sow, so shall you reap.
This is also known as the Law of Cause and Effect. Whatever we put out
in the Universe is what comes back to us. If what we want is happiness,
peace, friendship, love…Then we should BE happy, peaceful, loving, a
friend. Negative energy sent out to others will come back to you 10 fold
- THE LAW OF CREATION - Life doesn’t just HAPPEN, it
requires our participation. We are one with the Universe both inside and
out. Whatever surrounds us gives us clues to our inner state. BE and DO
yourself what you want to have in your life.
- THE LAW OF HUMILITY - What you refuse to accept,
will continue for you. If what we see is an enemy, or someone with a
character trait that we find to be negative, then we ourselves are not
focused on a higher level of existence.
- THE LAW OF GROWTH - Wherever you go, there you are.
For us to GROW in Spirit it is WE who must change and not the people,
places or things around us. The only given we have in our lives is
OURSELVES, and that is the only factor we have control over. When we
change who and what we are within our heart, our life changes too.
- THE LAW OF RESPONSIBILITY - Whenever there is
something wrong, there is something wrong in me. We mirror what
surrounds us and what surrounds us mirrors us: we must take
responsibility for what is in our life.
- THE LAW OF CONNECTION - Even if something we do
seems inconsequential, it is very important that it gets done as
everything in the Universe is connected. Each step leads to the next
step and so forth and so on. Someone must do the initial work to get a
job done. Neither the first step nor the last are of greater
significance-they were both needed to accomplish the task. Past,
Present, Future…they are all connected…
- THE LAW OF FOCUS - You can’t think of two things at
the same time. You should climb up a ladder on step at a time. When you
lose your focus you let in insecurities and anger.
- THE LAW OF GIVING AND HOSPITALITY - If you believe
something to be true, then sometime in your life you will be called upon
to demonstrate that truth. Here is where we put what we SAY that we
have learned into PRACTICE.
- THE LAW OF HERE AND NOW - Looking back to examine
what was prevents us from being totally in the HERE AND NOW. Old
thoughts, old patterns of behavior, old dreams…Prevent us from having
new ones.
- THE LAW OF CHANGE - History repeats itself until we learn the lessons that we need to change our path.
- THE LAW OF PATIENCE AND REWARD - All Rewards
require initial toil. Rewards of lasting value require patient and
persistent toil. True joy follows doing what we’re suppose to be doing,
and waiting for the reward to come in it’s own time.
- THE LAW OF SIGNIFICANCE AND INSPIRATION - You get
back from something whatever you’ve put into it. The value of something
is a direct result of the energy and intent that is put into it. Every
personal contribution is also a contribution to the Whole. Lack luster
contributions have no impact on the Whole or work to diminish it.
