Bachi... Karma...what goes around comes around. These are all words or phrases humans use to describe the events that happen in our lives that may not have any other explanation.

The belief that good and or bad things happen to us because of past actions. This theory was first conceptualized by eastern religions as the "cause and effect" of our free will actions that were judged by God. I won't go into the whole "is there a god?" thing...but I will say that I firmly believe that there is some kind of energy in the universe that surrounds us. When a ripple or rift is created in this energy, an effect is felt.

My question is this: When something bad does happen to us, how do we know which transgression we may be suffering for? It is difficult to keep track of, in which case the best policy is to live a life devoid of any negative energy. This is a difficult thing to do, given the nature of humans...but I feel that life and its experiences begin to guide us at a point if we take the time to listen.

I have been at the front AND back end of Karma more than once. Things that really make no logical sense, but still happened. Very frequently, the currents of life move strong and swift. It is a difficult course to steer, but possible. I have made decisions recently that I feel are on the sunny side of the road, and I have been experiencing good back.

To those that I know that are not taking that course, I hope that they double check their navigation. Perspective and pride are things that can set Karma totally askew.

Peace...
