KARMA - THE MECHANISM
APPLICATION
more often than not have not the slightest clue what you are reaching for
You are shaping your very own, individual path according to your very own needs, - if you are serious about it, you definitely will know what to do, - you don't need much advise.
And if you don't know what to do? - If nothing comes to your mind how to create your path to higher stages, then
4 - Make a list
Make a list of all the things you'd like to do or to become this life. Write down all your aspirations, ideals, dreams, fantasies, everything that comes to your mind, even if it looks utterly absurd to you and even if it does not seem to lead into a spiritual direction:
Do write down the things you want to learn, to master, to apply.
Write down the situations you want to experience, the places to visit, the people you want to meet, to interact and to have fun with.
Write down the honors you want to receive, the amount of money you would like to have and what you will do with it once you attained it.
Write down the challenges you want to meet and how much excitement they should bring to your life.
Write down the adventures you want to experience, and how much risk you are prepared to face on these ventures without known outcome.
Never censure your thoughts while you are writing, - never evaluate whether your desires are feasible or not, whether they appear comfortable or not, whether you are afraid of them or not. Do not even put them in any sequence - like what to do first, what takes priority, what is most or least feasible. All this
