Is all right with my universe?

I’m becoming a firm believer in Karma and the whole what goes around comes around thingy! I will admit that it’s a daily struggle to keep on a positive path and to only send out good vibes; in the notion of sending out what you want to get back. If I remember correctly that is the premise of The Secret (the law of attraction-is a metaphysical New Thought belief that "like attracts like", that positive and negative thinking bring about positive and negative physical results, respectively)


For example, when I’m sitting in traffic I try not to swear or say nasty things to drivers as they cut me off or go too slow because the moment that I do I get even more and crazier traffic. The same thing holds true when finding out something about someone I know, I am uncomfortable being happy with someone else’s misfortune no matter how much it is deserved in my eyes. If I send out negative vibes who knows what it will reap on me, the whole reap what you sow concept! (Galatians 6:7)


Back to karma, performing positive actions results in a good condition in one's experience, whereas a negative action results in a bad effect. The effects may be seen immediately or delayed. Delay can be until later in the present life or in the next. Thus, meritorious acts may mean rebirth into a higher station, such as a superior human or a godlike being, while evil acts result in rebirth as a human living in less desirable circumstances, or as a lower animal. So basically just because I do something Karmicly good I won’t necessarily get “rewarded” in this lifetime. Will that stop me from being “nice”, no, I can’t help myself, even when I say something mean I almost immediately ask for forgiveness. Heck, I feel guilty when I’m not, I was a goodie goodie in school, not only was I teachers pet I was the principal’s pet! Can’t help that I was just too cute with my pixie haircut and the spray of freckles across my face!


I am also having some doubts, well more like questions on “rewards” for past deeds. I found an old picture and put it on my facebook page, I admit I look cute but I really didn’t expect the response from someone that I got and I’m having regrets – regrets for posting the picture and regrets for “friending” this person. I have a feeling I’m being rewarded for being a bit catty over someone elses current pick of the litter…yikes, I really didn’t mean that, ok yes I did.


So, from now on I’ll do my best to think good, happy, positive thoughts, not harm anyone unless they really piss me off, think about the life I want and will have…only time will tell!!


*adding this on 9/25/11-it's amazing how Karma works and not wishing anyone bad things but things happen for a reason...
