THE NATURE OF KARMIC BONDS

3 - Doubt, skepticism, hesitation - Even though we obtain a certain de
gree of (temporary) insight into the real mechanisms of this world, we allow this impulse to pass. We give it no chance to influence our life. - Doubt and skepticism reject a (temporary) insight how to re
orient our ideas and actions before it may even stimulate us. Doubt and skepticism are either acquired (learned) or caused by social opportunism (by our tendency not to violate ac
cepted social boundaries). - Hesitation at the moment of insight makes the insight pass
without having any effect on us. Both mechanisms prevent the expansion of our known circle of
life. 4 - Pointless generalization - We carelessly or foolishly project ideas and concepts onto areas for which they are not valid.
Pointless generalization disregards the individual components of life. It always is a sign of a indifference and disinterest in our own life as well. This factor blocks a differentiated perception of events and thereby hinder us to access more detailed and com
prehensive cognition. 5 - Ignorance - is an inability to recognize the path that leads to
wards inner growth and the expansion of our understanding. Ignorance is be caused by two factors: a - Natural ignorance originates in the fact that we - in our
chain of incarnations - have not yet become aware of all the
knowledge dormant within us. b - Acquired ignorance is created when we accept and believe
flawed teachings of others. There are four general categories of flawed teachings: - the belief that the interaction of time, space and matter
causes everything in this world
