Karma Psychology

 

Karma psychology, a part of Karma itself.

Do good / get good, and help others as you help yourself.

Do bad / receive bad, the law is in reverse.

Karma psychology, it’s totally obedient to how ‘you’ internally say it works.

 

Bad luck / good luck, limited beliefs confining wisdom.

Yet Karma will work within these rules, for as you think, so may it become.

An ‘action reaction principle,’ set in a context of restricted guide lines.

But never the less karma will obey your beliefs, on that you can rely.

 

On the one hand, “Karma” is a nonsense term, on the other it is the only earthly process to learn.

On the one hand Karma does not existence, on the other, it is our very existence.

And yet notions of Karma may be restrictive, amounting to belief in the non transcendent.

For Karma itself is a system of belief, where am I going and which way have I went.

 

Karma is a system that we choose to live under, a system of a particular kind of a ‘cause and effect.’

A system of debt and balance determining what life offers next.

A system of evaluation, a system of defined rules and checks.

A system of the magic and also the mundane, a system of good wishes and of the supernatural hex.

 

But in the end; Karma is merely a dream, an invention of our soul.

An attempt to bring all things together, in responsibility to the ‘whole.’

So as you believe in Karma, so shall you and ‘it’ become.

For Karma is merely a self for filing wish, of yourself and action to come.

 

Within the realms of time, Karma works sublime.

Within emotional or intellectual evaluation, Karma brings ignorance or illumination.

Within the realms of inner beliefs, you come to good or you come to grief.

For in the end; Karma is simply; what your soul makes it.
