Are we really responsible/manifest everything that happens to us?

I also have a question if you don't mind: what is it about being more awake that allows to manifest easier? Just the clearer mind?

A clearer mind is a more focused and therefore more manifesting mind.

Also our connection with the Source is stronger and therefore we can tap into that creative energy more easily, for better or for worse!

It is as important to realize, one can change their reality (at any time). Change. We often talk about changing (our) reality. When that is done, you create reality. Great question.

The assertion that there is no such thing as karma is a very bold claim. If we are honest with ourselves then we simply do not know, either way.

And we cannot say if there is a bookkeeper tallying our thoughts and actions or if there is an impersonal intelligent principle operating in the universe to maintain balance or neither of these things.

As for the girl in Spain killed by a hailstone, perhaps it was always the Soul's intention that this incarnation would be a brief one which would provide lessons for her family. Was it just random chance that she was outside at that time, when she could just as easily have been safe indoors? Or were there other factors at play?

We simply do not know these things, so we find whatever explanation makes most sense to us.

Peace

I can appreciate what you have said, zorkchop and Busby. Where I am currently on this,
I don't know if there is karma but we attract what we put out there?

Well, of course!! There is always a bigger picture...and nothing is what it seems to the worldly mind.

And as I always say --no karma? You sow and you do not reap?....what goes around does not come around ?
Really? Then,
*steal something...see what happens.
*Give money away...see what happens.

I happen to like testing or experimenting with such things. Why believe other people?

And, btw, we do not say things as fact on this forum that has this kind of weight ...we CAN say ---
IMO, there is no such thing as karma.
That's all we need is a borderline, unbalanced person to read: There's is no karma ---as if it's fact ...
and they go out and do some awful crime!
And what do you know....they read it right here on our spiritual forum. Great, just great.

We are a creation of the whole so initially what builds foundation as a human is a complex arrangement of life as life is. We land into a world created. We become conditioned by what is.

So who’s responsible?

I am, you are, we all are. But what determines who recognised and embraces this? Those who can and do.

There are potentials in the whole regarding responsibility’s in all human life, but how it plays out is determined by the whole and the individual as one.

In the end if your aware you are responsible for yourself and your life, then you are.

I think we aren't 100% in control of our lives cos some thing's just seem to happen through no fault of our own, however I think there's a chance that we could be and that's really encouraging.

I think if we are lawful, righteous and just in all that we do then eventually we'll get there and have control of our lives in totality.

When you think about it enough if your lawful, righteous and just in all that you do then only righteous thing's will happen to you in return.

I think the answer is quite logical, be righteous full stop.

Indeed. As far as I am concerned the doctrines of reincarnation and karma are the most sensible explanations for human existence and human experience. And there is enough evidence available for both to satisfy me.

But when it comes to my actual knowledge then I have to admit that I am only aware of my current lifetime. So I cannot say that I know these doctrines to be true, but I would be very surprised if they weren't.

Imo we are responsible for everything we do, not for everything that happens to us. If we choose to be righteous then nothing wrong can happen to us, only the righteous will manifest itself in our lives which is extremely beneficial for us.

Well, then, why do ''bad things'' happen to good people? Anyone?
Now, I know the answer to that ---but, what can be said to a person SO good...then, in a month: their house burns down,
a son commits suicide, their car breaks down, loved ones suddenly die, their stocks crash...and so on.
Ha, sounds like a Job scenario!

And thank you for starting with "Imo", btw.
