So we have slow learners and fast learners. Each at his/her own pace and understand they're putting themselves through it. Once they have no one left to blame then the lights go on...and life too.

You never mentioned which criteria YOU go by

Personally, I only have one criteria:
Does she breathe?

my cruteria? i listen to my inner voice , and not my mind..

That's fine and dandy...What if that voice is actually your ex's?

It's the karma thing, dude. You are doomed to repeat the past until you learn the lesson. Learn the lesson then you can move on!

That Karma thing isn't very fair. How can one learn some lesson from a mistake from some past that one has no memory of?
And I don't want to hear about 'past life regression', please.

Yes, it's fair, dude. You can generate bad Karma in this life too. Learn the lesson from this life, then you can move on in this life. If you don't learn it, you are doomed to repeat it.

That makes no sense!
I know that Karma is some 'bagage' we supposedly catty over from supposedly a prior life.
Now you say we have Karma from THIS life too, sure I believe that, it's called 'what goes around comes around' but the two aren't related. If you want to say we retain Karma from THIS life and we're supposed to learn from our mistake, fine, I'll go with that but what does it have to do with my post asking you "How are we supposed to learn from mistakes of a supposed past life when we can't even remember what life it was or if there even was a life or..." You see what I mean?



I believe in "you get what you put into it" or "Our actions create reactions like the pebble in a pond disturb the water" and that could be seen as Karma but Karma from lives we don't even have a shadow of recollection? That's a tough pill to swallow.

Sorry, I get it. No really. What you missed in your last life, you are to try and get the lesson right in this life too. So say, you were around XXX type people in your last life and you did not deal with it in a positive way, you will deall with XXX type of people in this life too. So, knowing this, and with what you have experienced in this life, you can now "wise up" and say -- "okay, I am not going to deal with XXX type people anymore, I have learned my lesson, and I now know how to deal with it in a positive way. In that way, you are getting rid of the bad left over Karma from past lives that are carried over to this and the next life (which you have repeated in this life) until you learn the lesson.

If that's not clear, I can explain it in another way. I tried to drop you a note, but you are blocked to me!

I only block people from China Don't know what the problem is, well...

I perfectly understand the concept of Karma and that's why I say it's a tough pill to swallow.
So, according to Karma, not only am I supposed to deal with THIS life but I'm also supposed to deal with lives I have no idea of???
Don't you think that kinda unfair? Reasonably, one would HAVE to KNOW what happened in that so-called past life to be able to deal with it, I think that's a fair statement. And XXX type of people???
There are only one type of people I know of and it's us, all created equal with our strength and faults! What people do ( those so-called xxx type people ) isn't WHO they are.

I think that whole idea of Karma has been misrepresented by some Westerners who thought of themselves as Gurus but were only fake shams. It's just another 'feel-good' idea so people can say "Oh, I've learned my mistakes therefore I'm a better person"
Hogwash.
Sorry.

I only block people from China Don't know what the problem is, well...

You also block people of a certain age.

I perfectly understand the concept of Karma and that's why I say it's a tough pill to swallow.

If you perfectly understand it, then why are you asking me about it?

So, according to Karma, not only am I supposed to deal with THIS life but I'm also supposed to deal with lives I have no idea of???

No, it’s the LESSONS, not the lives.

Don't you think that kinda unfair? Reasonably, one would HAVE to KNOW what happened in that so-called past life to be able to deal with it, I think that's a fair statement. And XXX type of people???

XXX type of people, or situations might be anything that you are having trouble with now. Say alchoholics, a mean boss, criminals/criminalism, low self esteme/push-over, etc. Fill in your ever ocurring problems here___________

There are only one type of people I know of and it's us, all created equal with our strength and faults! What people do ( those so-called xxx type people ) isn't WHO they are.

It’s not WHO they are, it is the challenges they bring you. Have you ever seen people go in and out of your life? It's because you have delt with the problem. It may have seen like a small problem to you, but that is because you have learned how to deal with it.

I think that whole idea of Karma has been misrepresented by some Westerners who thought of themselves as Gurus but were only fake shams. It's just another 'feel-good' idea so people can say "Oh, I've learned my mistakes therefore I'm a better person"

If you have learned from your mistakes, that is great. But the idea of Karma is something that is within your sole. It is something you really have to come to grips with INTERNALLY, you can’t just wish or think it logically away. You have to deal with it. It is not a simple mistake!


Hogwash.
Sorry.

Sorry you feel that way. Maybe you will think on this a bit and have a different idea later.

It wouldn't be a first for me

BUT , Don't you wanna fix the problems you had with you Mom ?

Meaning ........ that's what we all do right ?

Well, you are still pretty young. That is okay. Maybe you will loosen up a bit, or maybe you are doomed to repeat it once again! Best of luck!

I don't believe in Luck.
I believe in the One in whose Image we are from.

And loosening up? How do you know me?

Still pretty young? I'm as young as my mind is. Sometimes I'm 15 and sometimes I'm 20 and sometimes I'm 60, what's it to you?

OH, and by the way, go sell crazy somewhere else, we're all stcked up here

I don't belive in luck either. That has nothing to do with karma.

I don't know you. I only know you seem closed to new ideas.

Your age is nothing to me. I am only giving you a graceful way out. So don't take it!

Once again. Closed to new ideas I see!

I don't belive in luck either. That has nothing to do with karma.I never said it did.

I don't know you. I only know you seem closed to new ideas. 'Seem', key word here.

Your age is nothing to me. I am only giving you a graceful way out. I don't need your charity.

Arn't you a "gem"!
