The Lords of Karma
 

Karma is defined as cause and effect, the result of our positive or negative deeds. It is believed that we bring forward karma from a previous life which will influence our present one in a bad or good way. We can equally gain noble or corrupt karma along the path of our present incarnation. It all seems quite fair unless you have heard of the Lords of Karma. I recently read an article that after we die and have our life review, we are then judged by the Lords of Karma. They will decide what our reincarnation will be, based on how we performed in our previous life. It is believed however that we are deceived by these austere judges who play back the lives of evil people and brainwash innocent souls that because of their (untrue) “evil deeds” they will have to be reincarnated with a punishment, to clear their bad karma. This becomes a debt that can never be repaid, and we are forced in a never ending rotation of miserable lives. It all seems very intimidating, and I would be interested to have your views as to whether it is true or not.

Hello Marymartina.

The soul itself is the determiner in matters of reincarnation, not any "lord" or other being. Such information about the "Lords of Karma" as you related that you discovered is fear-based and full of error. In other words, the reason it is full of error is because it is fear-based, for anything that is fear-based is thus heavily distorted.

Such unending cycles of misery do not exist, nor can they exist. Evolution of consciousness is part of the cosmic drama that we are living, and no such fate could ever befall a soul that it would endlessly repeat an action or same type of pattern. There ARE occurrences where people--based upon their particular strong religious beliefs in such beings--manifest "Lords of Karma" that await them after they depart the physical plane, as this is indeed part of the religious cosmology of some regions and eras in human history, yet these are but astral projections of consciousness, and at all times it is the soul that is the true lord of its incarnations.

There are indeed loving beings who help people "burn off" their karmic ribbons, so to speak, and these may be seen as the true Lords of Karma, or even as "angels," yet these beings--as ALL beings in creation--can only assist, they cannot control nor manipulate another's karma for them. However, the Higher Self actually fulfills this function (as well as other functions), so in this sense all people have their own personal "Lord of Karma" that is their own higher consciousness.

The "Lords of Karma" information that is fear-based is nonsense, it is rubbish that has no real place in the universe except as a low-level fantasy that is created out of an imagined need for a type of divine "judge, jury and executioner." This type of heavily distorted information is directly related to the type of consciousness that imagined "Jehovah" as an angry father-figure who punishes people, and it is the same type of mind that created gods such as "Zeus."

You need not be concerned with such silly gods and "lords," for these do not represent the True Nature of the Divine Source, which is infinitely loving and blissful beyond description.

Thank you for posing such an interesting topic. Best Wishes, I extend you. :hug2:
