Reconsidering Karma

Reconsidering Karma:

Countless times I've heard the statements: "They'll get theirs" and "What comes around goes around".
In a situation like that what good will it do you, to your life, to your situation for a person to later experience adversity?
In the past I've found myself thinking things like that. As if the universe was keeping tabs, and was going to somehow strike the person down in a clandestine way. But, in retrospect I see that it was usually a relief for the frustration of not being able to do anything about it at the time, or washing my hands of my capabilities in the sacred geometry of the universe.

It's clear to me that governments more than any other entity have calculated the consequences for their actions, and if Karma were a source of dependable retribution they cover that base as well. Since, Karma would most likely come from other humans these possible threats could be accounted for.

You being old enough to read this, it is safe to say that you at one point or another were the target for much pain asking yourself, "What did I do to deserve this?". Sometimes... Nothing. Sometimes the tree (or bomb) falls on YOUR house, but not because you used to much paper and the tree said "F**k this A**hole!", more because you didn't see the rotting limb.
But, humans taking actions that have negative Karmic value on other humans is not as easy to define as a tree branch falling unto your house. This is where we cheat "God", this is the playground where we can skew objectivity and interpretation. In many case this zone is synonymous with "Business".

"Business" is the green-zone, the time-out from Karma. If it's normally not o.k. to hire people for slave wages, throw a family out on the street, or to charge a thirsty pregnant woman for water, when it comes to business its all right. If someone needs to put their holy book down and pick up a gun to handle their business, "God" will totally understand, especially if the people being attacked were taught to turn the other cheek.

I add that we live in a society where almost nothing originates from us. Everything came from a factory, a warehouse, or someone else made it, cooked it, roasted it, painted it, played it, and put it together.
Even our beliefs and conclusion can fall between lines that were drawn for us by a sort of indoctrination or other, which we were born into. (Truly freeing ones mind is to redefine everything.)
I'll write more about that later but I have to go to Wal-Mart before my Yoga class.

Masters of All

  The tragedy in people who become influential and start a podcast is that they think that their expertise transfers to a host of other topics. Jordan Peterson is definitely an expert when it comes to psychology, and he has some beneficial philosophies. However, him, like Joe Rogan (Although Joe Rogan repeatedly admits that he's 'just a comedian but with like a billion people listening to his podcast) who hosts guest that make dubious and sensational claims, Jordan thinks that he's got the lowdown on politics, and other fields of science. We've definitely reached a point in podcasting where it's at least the beginning of podcasters becoming the mainstream media. Judging by how many podcasters refer to the mainstream media, you'd think that FOX and CNN would have substantial influence, but when was the last time that you watched either of those? (Unless you're 53+ as their demographic has been older since I started counting in 2003.) People with Podcasts that

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day To all of you who break your back for your family Anguish, so real to you You shield it from your loved ones Like a duck, your feet flap furiously beneath the water Meanwhile above, your little ones only see a smooth ride Happy Father's Day to those of you who lost in court That sacrificed everything, who you are, the path that you were on Tolerating and enduring an awful relationship To make for your children, a more enjoyable life And all to often, only to come out the other end at a deficit In the eyes of the court, simply because you are a man Happy Father's Day to the fathers in history Whom either from ignorance or pride, went off to war to protect their family Especially to those who were drafted While others complained back home About anything that was back home They were taken, by force And were left no choice but to go up and over the trench Into an onslaught of gunfire, and at gunpoint behind If they came home, they came home from a place wh

Unparalelled Contact and the Social Web

    What we have right now are below average minds to the somewhat intelligent and up, with access to all the information that the digital arena makes available. And twenty years ago or less, only geo politicians and government agencies had access to this kind of stuff. So, here is everyone trying to hammer it out with each other. Dispelling each others misconceptions, some of which are so deeply rooted, they may never be changed in a lifetime. People who have never been challenged on something, because they were the authority on it within their peer group constantly come face to face with people who know way more about it than they do, and that's a beautiful thing! -Goliath (In the news: Native Americans are blocking a Dakota pipeline, Presidential Election between Trump and Hillary is two days away, and the weather is cool and beautiful outside.)
