TRUE KARMA - FALSE KARMA. TRUE KARMA (AS I SEE IT) IS THE FORCE THAT MAKES US KEEP REPEATING SOMETHING OVER AND OVER UNTIL WE GET IT RIGHT (LEARN THE LESSON THAT IS IN IT FOR US) - ON A PERSONAL LEVEL , GLOBAL LEVEL, AND ULTIMATELY ON A UNIVERSAL LEVEL. An example of global level-is why history has a habit of repeating itself (as in war), because we still as humans have not learned one of the largest lessons “TO LIVE IN HARMONY WITH AAAALLLLLL FELLOW BEINGS-NO MATTER WHAT COLOR WHAT BELIEF etc        

It is true no WAR is going on right now, but there are still battles going on where innocent life is being killed because we have not learned to share (like a child and his toy) . While a thousand people think of peace a hand full of people thinking of WeAreRight - the people in live in hate off set the love. We are all connected in this way there will always be WAR until we can let go of our hate individually. THIS KIND OF GETS INTO THE “HUNDREDTH MONKEY THEORY’¹ AND THAT IS ANOTHER STORY ALL TOGETHER. Sorry I got a little side tracked.

FALSE or EGO KARMA IS THE KARMA WE IMPOSE ON OURSELVES. For example -if I stole an apple and my guilt got to me so I took the apple back and apologized. If I held onto the guilt of taking the apple after I had learned that was not a good thing to do and apologized for it- that is ego karma. I would start to attract bad or negative things because I felt I deserved it. I am making false karma - I already learned the lesson (true karma) involved in the situation.

So I think karma is the force that leads us to learn something. I think the easiest way to deal with karma is to go through whatever comes your way and learn from the situation what you are to learn and forgive yourself and move on to the next lesson. The lessons keep coming - the faster you can learn from something the faster you will move on to the next. If you repeat something too often you can get into a situation where you are trying to learn two lessons at once. I can tell you it takes much less effort learn just one lesson.
