You cannot interfere with someone else's karma. You can only make your own karma. If you see an act of violence, and you say to yourself, "He must deserve this or it wouldn't be happening.  His suffering is not my concern," what karma are you creating? The indifference that you show to a fellow soul is the same indifference that you will encounter. Is this what you want?

An act of violence may not be as dramatic as a fight, or a sexual assault. Indifference is a violent action. So is greed, jealousy, and every impulse to exploit another soul or the Earth. Do you want to give to Life? That desire is nurturing. Do you want to take from it? That impulse is violent.

If you decide that it is not your business when someone else suffers, don't think that your understanding of karma will permit your act of callousness to go without its effects upon you. The suffering that you see is fair. Every experience in this Earth school is fair, but if you use your realisation of this to ignore the suffering of your brothers and sisters, you create a world in which your suffering, also, is of no concern to others. That is karma.

Your future is yours to create in the same way that you created your present - through your choices. Compassion or indifference is a choice. It is natural for us to be compassionate, but we can choose "not to get involved." Feeling warmly toward one another is natural for us, but we can choose to be distant and cold. Everything that you do is a choice, and every choice that you make creates experiences that you will encounter. That is karma.

Getting involved does not mean judging. You may feel righteously angry at a sexual molester, but beware if you do. You do not know enough to judge - this act or any other. You do not know what is being healed, or coming to completion.  Molester and molested may be exchanging roles that were played in another lifetime.  It is not your role to be a judge or a jury. If you decide to take on these roles, you create painful karma for yourself.  Do you like being judged?

Placing yourself between the molested and the molester is appropriate. Judging the molester is not.  Protecting the bullied and the oppressed is appropriate.  Judging the bully and the oppressor is not.  Do you have the courage to protect without judging?  Can you be compassionate even to those who have no compassion?  If so, there is no finer karma that you can create. You will live in a world that is compassionate with you, even when you forget to be compassionate. You will be supported when you are weak until you have regained your strength. You will be loved, even if you forget to love.

What is the purpose of Karma?
Karma is the experience of what you have created.  It is the compassionate dynamic through which you learn to create responsibly. Karma is the law of cause and effect through which you shape your life with every decision. Karma is neither good nor bad. There are no good effects or bad effects - only effects.You choose the cause, and that choice includes your choice of an effect. The cause and the effect are one. If you participate in the cause, you will always participate in its effect. There are no exceptions.

You tell the Universe how to treat you when you make choices. When you choose to think of suffering, you create suffering and you experience suffering. When you create joy, you experience joy. Sooner or later, you will make the connection between what you choose and what you experience. Then you will choose differently.

The new energies
On the new earth, cause and effect will become a thing of the past. In the past we have connected karma with cause and effect. Up until now, we have been playing in the energies of light and dark to help understand the balancing effect of polarity. In the new energy, cause and effect will be replaced by INTENT and CREATION. Whereas cause and effect was governed by a time lapse between the cause and the effect, the new energies of intent and creation will produce instant manifestation.
