How does real-life karma work, and why does it affect some people but not others?

This is another major lighting theme that appeared on Quora.

Why is it important? Because some young souls may mistakenly think that everything is permitted and that there is no punishment for crimes.

So how does karma work in real life and why does it affect some people but not others? 

Short answer

Karma only works for souls with Free Will.  

FREE WILL

Karma does not work for souls without Free Will.

 NO FREE WILL

Longer answer

All young souls incarnating in a human body receive a precious gift from our Creator¹  — Free Will.

Free Will

Having this gift, they can choose the Spiritual Direction of their movement - towards Light² or towards Darkness³. There is also a sub-direction - Degradation, which is the worst case scenario and should be avoided.

The Universal Law of Karma (karma for short), like any Law, helps people correct their mistakes and move on.

Because most young souls are unwilling to study voluntarily, they are forced into what we would call punishment.

If the soul does not learn well and continues to make the same mistakes, the punishment will be tougher. At the same time, by the Universal Laws of Change and Evolution, it will be given the Choice of a further direction towards Light or Darkness.

In the case of the Choice of Light, which is more challenging than the Choice of Darkness, the soul will receive a renewal of its consciousness and "automatically" gain an understanding of what has been done wrong in the past. In other words, the person will receive a vision to voluntarily correct his/her mistakes.

Brad Anderson in his movie The Machinist (2004) skillfully described the mechanism of karma for a soul moving towards Light. Find my review of the movie.

However, in the case, if the soul will choose a direction toward Darkness, its consciousness will be brutalized and it will continue to develop its bad doings further, i.e. will become more skillful in "bad" deeds.

The Head of Darkness, Satan, is especially attentive to all those who have a tendency to constantly choose Darkness. Satan is the direct beneficiary of the soul's choice in favor of Darkness, as it receives a potential member of its Hierarchy.

But how practically Satan will drag the soul into His pool?

To catch the prey tightly Satan drops some earthly treasures in front of his prey. At this stage, the goal of the Head of Darkness is to make the soul become addicted. Whether, it's drugs, money, power, sex, etc. Everything goes.

However, even with the number of addictions, but with Free Will in hand, the person still has a chance to turn to the Light. Therefore, Satan's goal is to take this Will away from the soul.

At some point, a strongly addicted soul becomes so weak that it is unable to resist the next temptation of Satan and gives up its Free Will for the sake of another treasure. Now, this soul is fully belongs to Satan and Satan's Will.

The soul still keeps its personality, but feels, that a "someone" or "something" beyond his own intentions pushes him/ her for doings.

As the soul doesn't have its own Will and follows orders of Satan it doesn't have any Karma anymore. 

Therefore, from the outside it seems that the person who does evil to another does not bear any punishment.

Another group of souls without affect by karma are mature souls - missionaries. They made their Final Choice towards Darkness long time ago. They incarnate in the materialistic worlds like our Earth on the order of Satan. They move in the physical reality fast, without hesitation and thinking.

Summary

1. Karma works for souls moving towards Light, i.e. having Free Will. If they make a mistake they have to fix it

2. Karma doesn't work for souls that made their final Spiritual Choice towards Darkness, i.e. who lost Free Will. As the soul doesn't make any decisions, there is no punishment for its doings.

Does rebirth really happen?

The question "Does rebirth really happen?" again dedicated to reincarnation. And I would like to share with you my favorite answer by Bhavana Vashisht. with a few comments of my own.

Short answer: Yes, rebirth does happen and as humans, it is very important for us to know about it and learn to get out of it.

Long answer: Most of the major details (about the soul, proofs of soul, the science behind rebirth, way to get out of the rebirth cycle, etc.) have been provided below. Read till the end to get the most out of this answer.

The most reliable and authentic source to gain knowledge about reincarnation or rebirth is Bhagavad Gita. It gives a clear, logical explanation of the science of reincarnation. Lord Krishna spoke Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna on a battlefield – which is a suitable place to discuss reincarnation as people confront death face to face in combats and common questions about life and the afterlife may arise. Before jumping into the fascinating details of reincarnation, it is important to understand the eternal part of every living being, i.e., the soul.

Soul – the Eternal Living Part

Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita (chapter 2) says, “That which pervades the entire body you should know to be indestructible. No one is able to destroy that imperishable soul… The soul is unbreakable and incombustible; it can neither be dampened nor dried. It is everlasting, in all places, unalterable, immutable, and primordial… Some look on the soul as amazing, some describe him as amazing, and some hear of him as amazing, while others, even after hearing about him, cannot understand him at all.”

Proofs of the Presence of the Soul

Bhagavad Gita says that the soul is immortal and is never destroyed. As the sun alone illuminates all this universe, so does the soul within the body illuminate the entire body by consciousness. Without this consciousness, the body is nothing but a lump of dead matter. It is said that the soul is the driver of the body. When it leaves the body, all its functions stop, and it becomes useless within a fraction of a second. This can be observed when someone dies.

Also, as we can see with time, from childhood to adulthood, the body keeps changing, but something remains the same. The distinction between the conscious self (soul) and the body becomes more visible when we grow older. If we think more deeply about this, this can act as another proof of the presence of a living soul within us. 

Many scientists, researchers, and famous people have complete faith in the presence of the soul. As there are a lot of proofs and references but less space to write so this portion will be covered in another answer.

Core Principles behind Reincarnation

Bhagavad Gita says that souls cannot be slain even if the body is slain. But if this is the case, then what exactly happens to the soul? Lord Krishna beautifully explains, "The soul is neither born, nor does it ever die, nor having once existed, does it ever cease to be. The soul is without birth, eternal, immortal, and ageless. It is not destroyed when the body is destroyed… Just as the embodied soul continuously passes from childhood to youth to old age, similarly, at the time of death, the soul passes into another body. The wise are not deluded by this… As a person sheds worn-out garments and wears new ones, likewise, at the time of death, the soul casts off its worn-out body and enters a new one." These are very important lines that form the basic principles behind reincarnation. So, we can say that reincarnation is the transmigration of the soul from one body to another.

This is a great answer, however, a couple of important notes.

Note 1

Not only the physical body of a human is constantly changing, but also the sense of consciousness or the quality of a soul.

The quality of the soul fully depends on the energetic spectrum of the soul as well as the quantity of these energies.

This follows from the Universal Laws of Change and Evolution.

The quality of soul energies can even change to the opposite when a person makes such a Spiritual Choice, which changes the former Spiritual Direction* to the opposite.

For example, a person who follows the Values of Light makes a Spiritual Choice towards Darkness.

Therefore, we can call the Spiritual Choice also a Spiritual Trial.

A good example of how a highly Spiritual person had transformed into a vampire could be found in the movie "Bram Stoker's Dracula" by Francis Ford Coppola.  Please find details in my review of the movie.

Note 2

According to the newest information, a soul can be destroyed. 

However, this can be done only by the decision of the Supreme Creation, i.e. Creator of this soul.

This severe punishment is applied to parasitic people who do not want to give anything to others, but simply consume the resources of society or family and do this for four human lives in a row.

Other souls who do not deserve further existence are unnecessarily cruel souls . They also get a number of chances to improve themselves. If these chances are ignored for several lifetimes, the souls receive the death penalty.

During the procedure all soul's energies are cleared from their matrix and the personality leaves existence. This procedure is extremely painful.

Note 3

In my feature screenplay The Return of Melissa the protagonist is a scientist who didn't understand the spiritual matters regarding a soul, although he believed in God, and even competed with him. 

With his ignorance regarding soul he went to an experiment, that not only horrified his psyche but also proved him the existence of a soul and the power of its Creator.

* Spiritual Direction. 

There are two Spiritual Directions: towards Light and towards Darkness.  Between them is sub-direction: Degradation.

 

Why War? Summary /Part A

What Spiritual Choice do you think Volodymyr  Zelenskyy would have made on February 24 if twenty years ago he would have gone to work as a lawyer for whom he studied?

I think his Spiritual Choice would have been different, our current moment would be different and the future of humanity would have been different. 

Fig.1. Levels of Consciousness: Artist and Lawyer

We must recognize that Creativity is of far greater value than Logic or Analysis, and Artists* have the highest level of consciousness (between 75 and 100 levels).

All other professions (including lawyers) are a reflection of a lower level of consciousness.

CArtist    >     CLawyer 

*Artists, musicians, healers, spiritual preachers, writers, philosophers, screenwriters, directors, and business idea generators.

Why War? Summary / Part A

• Our Earth is just one of the countless planets in the materialistic worlds of Our Spiritual Father, the Head of Light*

Universe ©

• The creation of our planet and the people on it is the result of the need for a certain type of daily energies and a certain type of souls

• The daily energies come from the thoughts, speech, and doings of humanity, where the highest quality of energy belongs to the "Treasury Fund" of people, i.e. Artists.

• Since the Artists have the highest level of consciousness, this allows them to have a broader vision of not only the Material Reality but also the hidden one, i.e. Metaphysical.

• However, there is a lack of recognition of the Artists’ value, so the Artists suffer from a lack of money and respect. Therefore, instead of developing their own creative projects, they are forced to look for a job with a predictable salary, which means under someone's lower strategic vision.

• The Head of Light demands of us to have more souls moving towards Light, but the Spiritual Choice of Light is very challenging. This is especially difficult to do in an environment that supports superficial vision, that is, the exaggerated power of money and other values ​​of the material world.

• As long as we meet the requirements of the CEO of Lights, we will enjoy peace and prosperity. However, when the quality of everyday energies and the quality of souls deteriorate sharply, we get an extreme, i.e. WAR.

• The Spiritual Choice of a Leader is very important, especially in wartime. 

• At a certain point in history (for example now) this can lead either to the development of the Values of Light (Choice of Light) or to the failure of the entire project of the planet Earth and humanity on it (Choice of Darkness).

*CEO of Lights = God = Head of lights = Our Spiritual Father

But are there any means to prevent WAR?

YES, indeed!

Our Spiritual Father always provides us chances to prevent a WAR. 

In the case, if the chance is taken we continue a peaceful movement forward, but if we missed the chance for voluntary improvement we face harsh consequences, where one of those is WAR, i.e. suffering of a big amount of people.

You ask: "And if the war has already begun?"

Our Spiritual Father is always watching over us, and He can stop the war run by Satan at any moment. 

So what needs to be improved? Let's make a list.

List of Improvements

• Raise the value of Independent Thinking

• Do not abuse Political Power

• Improving Women's Rights

• Raising the value of Art and Artists

• Financial support for Writers

• Recognition for Energy Healers

• Reincarnation concept

We shall go through the List of Improvement in detail in the coming Part B. 

Why War? Part X

History is not made by leaders, but by their choice.

We must recognize that everything begins in the metaphysical realm, where our thoughts are born, turning into intentions and further on into actions.

Ukraine

We live in a very exciting time when a country (nation) makes its Spiritual Choice toward the Light!

@ V. Kazanevsky

Resistance to Mordor

It is even more amazing to realize that most of the civilized world has come together to help Ukraine confront the real Mordor that appeared on our planet Earth. 

We can say that these countries have voluntarily joined the Choice towards the Light!

Leader

The main person making decisions on the Spiritual choice of the country is, of course, the Leader of the country. And people (nation) are influencers in his/her choice.

V. Zelensky

Zelensky's strategy during the Russian military buildup was to reassure the Ukrainian population and reassure the international community that Ukraine was not going to retaliate.

Volodymyr Zelensky (44) was born into a highly educated family and has been accustomed to different cultures since childhood. In this regard, it can be assumed that the environment from the very beginning supported his personal development.

Fig.1 Growth of Consciousness of V. Zelensky

High Energy and Consciousness

Paying attention to the fact that Volodimir studied at a school with in-depth learning of a foreign (English) language and had a vast variety of hobbies, including music, he initially had above average level of energy potential and consciousness.

Degree of Lawyer

Studying at the university and obtaining the qualification of a lawyer allowed him to increase his energy potential and level of consciousness above level 50 ( Fig. 1).

The biggest upgrade in his consciousness, however, came from his choice of career as an Artist and successful career in this field* ( consciousness level above 75).

*Showman, artist, comedian, artistic director, and leader of the Kvartal-95 society, former member and general producer of the Ukrainian TV channel Inter, screenwriter.

Artists = Treasury Fund

As we learned in the second part of this article, Artists are our "Treasury Fund", capable of giving Humanity the largest number of souls making a Spiritual Choice towards Light.

Choice of Freedom

After the invasion began, Zelensky declared martial law throughout Ukraine and the general mobilization of the armed forces. He himself did not leave the country, although he could have.

So, on February 24, 2022, V. Zelensky chose Freedom, where Freedom is the main Value of Lights.

Satan

We must understand that Satan is not a kind and nice guy, but the founder of the Values ​​of Darkness, where Slavery is His key value. Therefore Satan is actively looking for new slaves.

Fig. 2 Spiritual choice of V..Zelensky on behalf of Ukraine

Slavery

Satan is ready to buy off as many slaves as he can and is ready to pay for it with everything he owns in the materialistic world. He skilfully plays on the false pride of those people who are greedy for the values ​​​​of the physical world.

Dictators

Dictators, addicted to money, power, magic, etc., are a great help to Satan on His path to gaining a higher energy potential. Being result oriented, He keeps them in great tension.

Spiritual Choice to Light

The Spiritual Choice towards Light is very difficult and requires great Spiritual Strength. Therefore, the supporters of the Values ​​of Light must provide all possible help to Ukraine to protect the Choice of Freedom and Peace for the entire planet Earth.

Our Spiritual Father

We must remember that our Spiritual Father, CEO of Lights, DOES NOT WANT WAR.

The War in Ukraine is given only as a last opportunity to set us on the right path (see Why War? Part I).

If Ukraine surrendered to the aggressor?

You ask: "What would happen if Ukraine surrendered to the aggressor?"

The Choice in favor of Slavery in a country of 40 million would increase the imbalance between souls moving toward Darkness and Light. This would lead to the utmost risk of the existence of mankind on our planet as a failed project of the Higher Ones.

Sodom, Gomorrah & Atlantis

We must not forget the terrible end of the wicked cities of Sodom and Gomorrah or the death of the haughty high-tech Atlantis.

Our fate is in our hands

We must realize that our Earth is just one of the countless projects of our Spiritual Father.

Mother & Sister Earths

Our planet is a replica of Mother Earth*, which acted 100 years before us. Since the quality of the energies produced on that Earth was far from what the Higher Ones wanted, they allowed the “red button” to be pressed to destroy this planet.

There is another planet that is 30 years behind us. The Higher Ones are correcting the mistakes of our humanity on this young planet. If we destroy ourselves, they will still have a backup.

And the Higher Ones can create as many planets as they want.

Mother-, Sister-, and Our Earth

Part X Conclusions

• Ukraine has made its Spiritual Choice - toward the Light

• The civilized world supports the Choice of Ukraine

• The key reason for this Choice is the Leader - Artist

• The War in Ukraine is given by purpose

• The Choice of Slavery is backed by Satan and his servants

• The destiny of Our planet and humanity on it is in our own hands

The Part "Summary" is coming shortly.

Why War? Part VIII

Yeltsin's Spiritual Directions and his Choice for Putin

The Process of Degradation* that began under Brezhnev is slowly but steadily leading to the disintegration of the Eastern Bloc first and then spreading to the USSR itself. 

In 1991, fifteen independent states are formed, one of which is Russia. The new leader Boris Yeltsin becomes the president of Russia and removes Mikhail Gorbachev from the leading position.

*Degradation from a spiritual point of view is the process of loss of previously accumulated energies

Fig 1. B. Yeltsin's Spiritual Directions

Direction to Light

Victory over Communism

Yeltsin's greatest achievement as a Russian leader is his ultimate victory over the dictatorship of Communism**, which was lasting for almost 75 years.

A communist by right, Yeltsin criticizes the leadership of the Communist Party and cancels his membership in the party. That is an act of unheard-of Courage and Honesty in his time (1990) and gives Hope to many.

He significantly shakes the Faith in Communism and destructs the cult of the party elite, that have been violating the first two Commandments of God for several generations.

Freedom

By giving Freedom for Conscience (including freedom of religion and thought), Yeltsin softens the country's karma which results in a new, democratic constitution, significantly improving the Human Rights of ordinary citizens.

Another significant Yeltsin's step towards Light was the replacement of a Command Economy (without freedom and choice)  with a Free ( Market) one.

Arms-reduction

Also, Yeltsin signs a breakthrough arms-reduction agreement with President of the USA George H.W. Bush ( Peace = Value of Lights).

B. Yeltsin was a representative of the following  Values of Lights:

Courage
Honesty
Hope
Peace
Human Rights
Freedom

Direction to Darkness

However, there are also some economical and political challenges that B. Yeltsin could handle much better. 

Among them:

• Problems with the control of freedom, for example in the economy, leading to Chaos 
• As a result of the Chaos, Yeltsin provides Russians with misleading information about the non-devaluation of the ruble in 1998, i.e. he Lies
• The War in Chechnya, which fights for sovereignty, i.e. for Freedom (= Value of Light)
• As a result of the war - the assassination of the president of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria  D. Dudayev, who Hopes for Peace and Freedom for his people

As we know Chaos, lies, and War are Values of Darkness, bringing Negative Karma to anyone who created them.

Karmic Aspect

Chaos

Chaos in the economy brings instability to Yeltsin himself and his family, making them dependent on others, including V. Putin.

Lie

The Lie leads to a sharp loss of Yeltsin's popularity among ordinary Russians who have lost all their savings. This resulted in a political crisis as Yeltsin, with domestic support evaporating, has to contend with an emboldened opposition in parliament.

War

The first unjust war in Chechnya brings with it a second round of hostilities with thousands of dead and wounded, including Russian soldiers, and the rise of the Dark Ones in Chechnya.

VALUES OF DARKS:

SLAVERY
HATRED
WAR
COWARDICE
LIE
INJUSTICE
DESPAIR
CRUELTY
CHAOS
GREED

Choice

Whether we love democracy or those who are able to bring into the world we must recognize that any personal weakness of a leader is a huge obstacle to a Choice towards Light not only for himself but also for his country.

Attachments

According to public information, B. Yeltsin had some attachments - to alcohol, family, and, possibly, power. These predilections could force him to bring a successor more convenient for himself, but not for the Russian people, to whom he wanted to give, but did not give the desired democracy.

Putin

Deteriorating health and lack of due diligence* were additional factors for the transfer of power in Russia to a man like Vladimir Putin.

*Young Putin served in the 5th Directorate of the KGB - to combat dissent, including religion, which is a contradiction to Freedom of Conscious, which Yeltsin was fighting for.

SUMMARY:

• Yeltsin liberates Russia from Faith in Communism and cleanses the country's negative karma

• Under his leadership, the Russians receive Hope for the continuation of the movement toward the Light.

• Due to attachments and illnesses, Yeltsin takes several big steps toward Darkness

• The created negative karma hits Yeltsin personally, providing dependence on others, which brings such a successor as V. Putin.
