KARMA - THE MECHANISM
SUTRAS
The number of karmic molecules stored in our interactive karmic field influences the mechanism and the intensity with which karma decreases at its activation.4
The emotional intensity with which we instigate, plan, perform or assent to an action determines for how long and in what intensity karma will manifest in our life when a particular block of karmic molecules activates.
Sutra 4 to 13 describe the eight areas of life where karma mani
fests (the types of karma) Sutra 14 to 20 define for how long each of the eight main types of
karma can remain attached to us Sutra 21 to 23 explain what triggers the activation of karma and
what determines the intensity of karmic manifestations
Sutra 24
describes the characteristics of karmic molecules.
4 Karma does not manifest with always the same intensity. Several
types of karma can significantly decrease in intensity from the beginning of the activation to their complete dissolution.
We experience this e.g. at the confrontation with an overwhelming problem that seems huge at its first appearance, but then rapidly diminishes in intensity. We feel this in the process of falling in love, when after the first emotional high a more permanent connection is not supported. We sense this at the end of a major phase of life, when our emotional attachment to a certain activity (e.g. a job) dissolves long before it is formally concluded.
This change in intensity is brought about by the decrease in number of karmic molecules that are active during a karmic manifestation. How many molecules are activated at a given time can be calculated. The Gomiatasara - Karina Kanda contains the correspondi ng formula.
