Reading through one of my novels... well not mine specifically
but yes, they do personify my particular love for them
I came across this paragraph which really defined Karma
in words I couldn't better convey, not now anyways.
' This is the supreme lesson of karma ( and also of Western psychology, by the way)-
take care of the problems now, or else you'll just have to suffer again later when you screw
everything up the next time. And that repetition of suffering - that's hell.
Moving out of the endless repetition to a new level of understanding- that's where you'll find heaven. '
I tend to jot down these lil moments of inspiration, or understanding with markers, but this particular one was the most prominent in a novel, which will be releasing as a movie in a matter of days. It's tag line, being, 'One woman's search for everything across Italy, India and Indonesia.' 3 I's, yeah ironic, the author thinks so too.
Anyhow, getting back to the quote, I guess it pretty much explains itself to be honest. Kind of like, change now, or you'll deal with the same thing till you surrender and change. The universe's simple way of saying let go of that bit of your ego, love, and the pain will go. As though it were that easy! But yes, it does get easier with practice, safe as it is to say, from experience.
Well if you ever read this book, I'm sure you'll see what I mean when I say its intricately woven into a beautiful piece, very casual, yet very refined. And who doesn't mind, traveling three countries in a form of literary experience.
Another really important aspect which touched me in this book, is the fact that everyone always talks about three levels of consciousness, books, movies, conversations, we all do. The recent Inception, was a classic case of this in practice. Yet this particular book, by Elizabeth, touches on the fourth level. The level which is aware of all three levels, as they merge, act, and live together in harmony. Some would say that that is acknowledging self awareness, and some would say it's known as enlightenment, and some would say that's what you call bullshit. Be my guest, and tick the appropriate column.
Interesting, leaves room, for even higher spiritual metamorphosis.
