so you dont buy the Law Of Attraction either? Like attracts Like?
you ever watched/read The Secret?
to me thats the positive side of the karmic boomerang, you put enough good intention out there and you will get that positive energy back.
or, for the sake of argument and to play my own devil's advocate for a second, is that simply your will/intent manifesting itself physically in this reality? and could the same be said of cursing? do you see this as simply intent seeking results and the underlying emotional/spiritual "polar charge" being inconsequential?
bear in mind i was never a student of philosophy per se so if im fucking up any terms, or not using terms where it would be simpler to do so... pleeeeeeeez correct me. im here to learn. thats why i joined.
knowledge and fellowship.
IA!
I choose to/do believe in the Law of Attraction.
That's how I make all my Correspondences and Synchronicites.
And Yes I've seen The Secret.
And I think it was horrible for two reasons:
1) It basically Raped Sacred Occult Knowledge and turned it into a Fuckin' Infommercial.
2) The never Explained the Law of Least Resistance. That's one thing I've learned to look out for over the years. All the positive thinking in the world can still fuck you over.
Example: Let say it is my will to obtain a large lump sum of money.
Now here is the problem...
I didn't put up any conditions, so My parents could die and leave me their property, I could be hit by a car and then sue the driver, or hell maybe win the Lottery.
Like I stated before Remember ye Pirate Logic.
Cause that's how I have come to see the Universe work.
The Universe does have a sense of Humor after all, and we are the joke. ;D
I also don't really believe in Karma, at least not the way most view it.
Like the 3-Fold Law I see Karma as a way of controlling people.
Also I see 3-Fold as a way to take into consideration how doing an Act of Magick will effect you. Physically, Mentally, and Spiritually.
All Rites influence you on these levels.
I think the 3-Fold just helps to keep people from being consumed by their own hate and desire for Revenge.
I also see it like "God" watching you...
He knows when your sleeping,
He knows when your awake,
He knows if you've been bad or good...
Karma is also a way to justify things happening.
And at times, I think it helps the people who unconsciously want to be victimized justify it to themselves and in turn become a victim. It also tries to say that good things happen to good people... but this ain't always the case.
Here's a question for Karma:
Why do bad things happen to good people? Especially innocent children....
And fuck all the Past Life Bull-Shit.
I'm talking the here and now.
Another example:
I am an Asshole. ;D
I care for my Tribe and it's Affiliates which include all those here.
Anyone else can take a Flying Fuck...
So do I have good Karma or bad Karma?
People who know me in passing say I have Bad JuJu/Karma.
But those who know me say the opposite.
Granted I have my share of good and bad luck, but mostly good... But what I really think is important is the mindset/view you have of a situation.
Be One with the Way/Chaos.
That's all I got right now...
Hail Chaos
