HOW TO DISSOLVE KARMA

reaction and passive observation rather than dynamic action. Though it may also involve activity, we do not actively search out this manifestation, but passively wait for it to happen.
Yet we can accelerate this process. Consciously confronting karma means to actively create conditions that stimulate karma to manifest immediately. It is the intentional initiation of (agreeable as well as uncomfortable) situations that are emotionally charged. It is actively seeking the confrontation with conditions - persons and situations - that deeply influence our feeling of life. It is consciously creating conditions in which our long standing, yet unmanifested desires, dreams and ideas can become real.
All aspirations, desires and hopes dormant within us - which we forever keep postponing, and for whose realization we never mustered sufficient courage, - indicate that we carry an attachment (karma) within us that binds us to exactly these ideas. As long as we avoid creating a reality in which these dreams and desires can manifest, we will always feel an urge to express these - our very own - concepts of greatness and capability deep within us. Even if the urge appears small or seems to dissipate during the course of our life, this does not dissolve the original karmic bond. Unfulfilled emotional attachment is the main and foremost cause for further incarnations. We will always be drawn to further embodiments as long as unfulfilled aspirations still exist within us.
There is no reason why the conscious confrontation with karma should be negative or produce negative effects. We certainly can decide for ourselves whether we want to approach a situation with a negative or positive disposition. One example: We usually feel like under a heavy burden when we head for a clash with someone whose power we fear. But we may also and as easily interpret this confrontation as a decisive step towards our freedom and away from the dreaded influence. This positive attitude will even reinforce us with additional verve and energy.
There is no compulsion to focus only on the tensions that might accompany the confrontation. Any anxiety we may experience dur
