KARMANIPULATION -- a naive question [tech, philosoph, remedies, freewill]

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

As a general principle, anyone who has paid attention to the thoughts

expressed in this forum and similar other venues, dealing with

jyotish, remedies, tantra, other forms of magic etc. several things

emerge:

 

Jyotish and its building blocks, cause and effect, over and across

lifetimes and also within a single lifetime are based on the Karma

principle, crudely described as: you reap what you sow. Some say the

seed can be mental action, others maintain that it has to be a

physical worldly action, a third party indicates that it has to hurt

someone, in mind, spirit or body. A tree fallen in the isolated

forest does not count. [Ask the tree and its neighbours!]

 

Remedies span a large variety, from the penance type to powerful

material and mineral ones, gemstones, amulets and spiritual: pooja

etc. There are then numerous variations and combinations of all of

these modalities. Poke around and ask around and you will come up

with anecdotal accounts that range from 100% success to dire failure.

It is a moving duck, shall we say.

 

Then we venture or dabble into the nether realms (nothing to do with

the Dutch!) and we come across tantras and its high and low paths and

at some point we run into statements as have been voiced here, namely

that tantra of the low type (some would compare that with voodoo and

black magic, terms more meaningful to many modern individuals) can be

effective but the only lasting thing they bring is pain and anguish

to the recipient (at whom it is directed), the instigator (who

requested for the tantra) and the Shaman (who brought together the

different realms and made energy jump across parallel universes or

parallel realities as Quantum Physicists have started writing about,

without really understanding how it all really 'works'. So human of

them!).

 

Point is, if any of these things, high or low or medium work, even in

some cases, then Karma is not absolute and can be altered and even

manipulated in a crisis. There is always a price to pay, of course,

but we all know the allegory by Faust of Mephistophiles <sp>! It is

not a eastern or western thought and all cultures probably have

similar anecdotes, including the ultramodern IT culture with its

viruses and spyware and what not! Have you, as a non IT guy ever

talked to your IT service-person? Pure magic!!

 

Regardless of its moral underpinnings and all the nine yards, it

seems that through all these options available, the common mechanism

and law is the law of free-will. Do not underestimate it, for it

comes at a price. Of personal responsibility, and in most cases

immense POWER poised precariously over a platform of incomplete

understanding and therefore ignorance.

 

Take it from a ten year old boy who destroyed expensive loudspeakers

(power assisted by ignorance). Only through divine grace (forgiveness

of menacing old big brother) that boy now knows more about loud

speakers than he ever would have! Karma ki gati nyari santon!
