In previous posts, we discovered that both humanity and Earth are becoming less dense or expanding into higher frequencies in the physical universe. As Guy Needler said, ascension is a natural function of the multiverse. It’s happening to everybody in the multiverse all the time. But we don’t all ascend at the same time or at the same rate, which begs the question: why not? What holds us back from ascending? The simple answer is karma. What is karma in modern spiritual science?

What is karma?

Traditionally, karma is equated to the Law of Cause and Effect, which states that every action has a reaction or consequence. We reap what we sow and nothing happens by chance.

• The Old Testament’s Law of Retribution calls for an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. But as Gandhi said: “An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.”
• Theosophists say that every thought, desire, or action affects in some measure the equilibrium of the universe, which then seeks to return to balance. The process of seeking to restore that balance is what is called karma.
• Others say that there is no such thing as a karmic wheel or karmic debt.

These are modern misconceptions of karma, which is about a whole multitude of things.

What is karma in modern spiritual science?

The correct definition of karma is attraction and addiction to low frequency behavior patterns or actions. In his book, “Avoiding Karma,” Needler explained several important points:

• Karma is only a function of the physical universe, which is the bottom of our multiverse.
• There are different levels of karma associated with different frequency levels. The higher up we go, the less likely we’ll attract karma, because we know more. We know our physical form is just a wetsuit we use to experience a particular level of reality (e.g. Earth).

Our True Energetic Self (TES/Oversoul/Higher Self) is who we really are. It is a much bigger sentient being in the multiverse, that is LINKED to karma through all the soul aspects it sends out to incarnate in the physical universe.

• Each True Energetic Self can send up to 12 smaller souls or aspects to experience the physical universe. They can develop karma at various frequency levels (not just Earth). That karma is linked to the TES.
• Each soul can also project up to 12 smaller shards to incarnate. They can develop karma, which is taken on-board by the soul that projected the shard.
• To break the karmic cycle, the souls or shards need to be sent back to incarnate at the frequency level where the karma was created.

Once the karmic link is broken, there is no need to incarnate. The True Energetic Self can ascend and evolve in the purely energetic multiverse from thereon.

How does karma affect us on Earth?

Earth is the densest and most difficult planet to live on. It is the easiest for people to get addicted to karma and the most difficult to move away from karma, when they’re on Earth.

• Some call Earth the “all you can eat buffet of experiences” of the universe.
• It provides the widest range of emotions and the most profound experiential content for both individuals and groups of entities.

Earth is a setting where we have a time lag between what we intend, think and pulse out and what gets reflected back or manifested. This is how we can learn from the consequences of our choices and actions.

• We are automatically exposed to karma here, which can create good learning opportunities, once karma is recognized and properly understood.
• But until that happens, karma anchors us here in the physical.

It may lead us into a downward spiral of cyclic karma, where the same lesson is repeated in more intense and dramatic ways until we pay attention and change our ways.

What types of karma are there?

Karma is all about how we exist, think and relate to people and how we work with the environment, which includes Earth, flora, fauna, etc. Needler described 5 major types of karma:

1. Thought based karma: limiting thoughts that revolve around humanity or beliefs that the human form/body/ego is all we are, anticipation, frustration, boredom, etc.
2. Behavior based karma: seeking personal gain, using others, gossiping, judging, blaming, fighting, arguing, colluding, aggression, etc.
3. Physical based karma: addictions to physical sensory things like food, sex, alcohol, drugs, dangerous sports, fitness/body image fanaticism, self-abuse like cutting, etc.
4. Materialism based karma: need to have more money or more expensive things like a car, house, boat, clothes, vacations, attachments to people, pets, etc.
5. Status based karma: showing off wealth, fame, power, possessions, career, trophy wife, high achiever children, social clubs, a yacht in Monaco (below), etc.

How can we move out of karma?

We are sentient beings who come to Earth and other parts of the physical universe to explore and learn about the minute details of the multiverse.

• The whole point of our incarnation is to experience, work with and be IN the physical, while not being OF the physical.
• Our ultimate goal is to move OUT of the physical, which is just a tool for us to learn about lower frequency existence.

To get off the karmic circle, we need to detach ourselves from the lower frequency thoughts, feelings and actions, so we can progress and move back into the energetic.

• The first step is to “know thyself” and become self-observant, so you can catch yourself in thoughts, words and actions before you create major or minor karmic ties.
• For example, the Enneagram system is an easy way to understand yourself and others.

• It describes 9 types, each with 9 levels of development ranging from the highest acting (ego transcending) behaviors to average and low acting behaviors, which we can learn to recognize in ourselves and others.

Another way is to adopt a few “Simple Rules” to existing in the physical:

“Observe, experience, record, remember, reflect, forgive, forget, experientially understand, love, rise above, exist in ultimate knowledge, reflect again, and progress.” – Guy Needler

Needler’s book, Avoiding Karma, explains more about how to recognize, avoid and resolve many types of karma in our lives. The goal is to learn to glide through life like a swan in choppy waters, as shown by Paramahansa Yogananda and other masters.

How does karma play into the incarnation cycle?

Most individuals on Earth, who are trapped in a karmic cycle, very quickly want to re-incarnate back on Earth to experience the physical all over again. But there is a backlog of souls/aspects waiting to come here.

• Their True Energetic Selves queue up, so they can send aspects with karmic ties to incarnate here, while the TES puts itself in stasis for a moment.
• After the aspects sort themselves out and break away from karma, their TES catapults itself beyond where they would have been, because their evolutionary tension is now released.

It is possible to make “heaven on Earth” by living in a way to avoid attracting karma, and by communing with our True Energetic Self and Source/God through daily meditation.

“The physical universe is nothing but a theater, a play we created…everything we do is within the play, a play manifested in the theater called Earth.” – Guy Needler
