Karma is not just fatalism, but a universal law of cause and effect, that our actions shape our future. It contains universal truths that are not only rooted in Eastern philosophy, but also in the concepts of "sin" and "judgment" in Christianity and Judaism. In Japan, it is expressed by the word "karma" and exists as a complex thread woven by our actions, thoughts, and feelings.

The Law of Karma and Self-Transformation: Living in the Present with a Deeper Understanding

If we give joy to others, we will experience joy ourselves, and if we cause pain to others, we will experience pain ourselves. This is the basic principle of karma. But karma is not just a system of retribution. It is an opportunity for growth and evolution, a compass for us to lead ourselves to a better existence.

Karma has a complex structure that transcends the time axis of past, present, and future.

Karma that is liquidated in this lifetime: This is karma that is cleared through the events, relationships, joys and sufferings that we experience in this lifetime. It appears as a direct result of past actions and teaches us important lessons.
Karma is created anew in this life, karma created by how we think, act, and feel now. This is the seed that will shape the future, and the choices we make will determine our future experiences.
Karma that appears in the next life: This is karma in which the results of past actions are not completely cleared in this life and are carried over to the next life. It influences the events and circumstances experienced in the afterlife and encourages the evolution of the soul.

Acting in a way that makes others happy is a force that neutralizes the difficult situations brought about by karma and creates a positive future. Altruistic actions provide an opportunity to cleanse yourself of past negative karma and accumulate positive karma.

The Path to Karmic Understanding and Transformation from Self-Exploration

By seriously considering the answers to these questions, you will be able to get an overview of your karma. For example, you might find the following insights:

Self-centered tendencies: As a challenge from a past life, you may have a tendency to be self-centered. It can affect your relationships and lead to feelings of loneliness and isolation. The solution is to develop empathy for others and actively engage in altruistic behavior.
Excessive attachment and present challenges may include a strong attachment to material things, relationships, past glories, etc. Attachment interferes with peace of mind, deprives us of freedom, and inhibits growth. The solution is to let go of attachments and practice accepting things as they are.
Past traumas and shocking events in your life may remain as emotional scars. Trauma can affect current behaviors and emotions, damaging relationships and self-esteem. As a solution, it is important to heal the trauma, learn from past experiences, and move forward into the future.

Understanding karma is only the beginning of a journey of self-transformation. The key is to translate the insights gained into concrete action and put them into practice.

Practicing Mindfulness – By focusing on the present moment and observing your thoughts, feelings, and actions, you can become aware of unconscious patterns and make more conscious choices.
By practicing meditation and facing yourself in silence and listening to the innermost voice, you can access your inner wisdom and connect with your true self.
Practicing altruistic behavior: Acting for others can help us overcome our self-centered tendencies and increase our empathy and compassion.
Practicing gratitude and expressing gratitude every day can attract positive energy and increase your sense of well-being.
Practicing Forgiveness: Forgiving others and ourselves can help us heal the wounds of the past and set us free.

Through these practices, you will be able to cleanse yourself of past negative karma, accumulate positive karma, and live a more fulfilling life.
