Mostly in-my-head or out-of-my-mind wanderings and musings. The world according to Turtle Island Nomad: which may have nothing to do with your reality. This one is on the ride of her life. Aren't we all ... whether we know it or not.
Thinking about making wishes for the New Year as 2013 fast
approaches.
I used to have a bumper sticker for my car.... My KARMA ran
over your DOGMA.... i loved that sticker.
DOGMA is man's concept of the laws of Creator / Creation and
KARMA is Creator/ Creation's actual laws governing how the universe really
works.
The Christian People
would quote 'an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth'.
So ... thinking about this and thinking/feeling about what
karma you want to incur in the New Year ... what do you want to come back to
you and maybe bite you in the behind or gently kiss your cheek?Every choice has repercussions!

For your pleasure,
here is a sweet little visual on how karma works…

SEEKING TO
MOVE PAST ANGER
“A truly
compassionate attitude toward others does not change
Even if they behave
negatively or hurt you.”
― Dalai Lama XIV
There are so
many layers of STUFF on my plate now. So
many angry people I do not have enough fingers and toes to count all the anger
around me now.
... as the Dalai Lama says (to paraphrase)
.....'I lock myself in my room and then I have anger inside'.... geezzz ain't
that the truth. I can't blame the angry
stuff on others cuz I have it too !!!! The
anger of others hits me cuz I have the flaws inside for it to catch on. So, taking responsibility for the perception
of so much anger hitting me now.
I just want
to get off this wheel of karma. It has become such a BORING RIDE / BORING GAME.
... Second verse same as the first...
That means not being pushed by 'the good
guys' or 'the bad guys'. This means recognizing there are no good or bad guys.I do not know what will be happening over the
next week.... all is in flux.
I think this
no good guys / no bad guys is a major life lesson for me. It is a good learning
and painful. What is surprising is the major pain associated with this comes
from a direction I had not expected ... it comes more from the perceived 'good
guys'... when I would expect it to come from the perceived 'bad buys'. I see
the pain from the good guys is related to my caring what they think and feel
...more than I care what the bad guys think and feel. Then I feel guilty for
differentiating good guys and bad guys..... Gee whiz
Carolyn Myss
would say anger is a 4th chakra issue HEART issue.This is the mediator between body and
spirit.Issues in the body, show up in
the heart, lungs, upper back and shoulder pain, breast issues. http://www.myss.com/chakra/chakrasflash.asp
Lesson -
learning to come from a LOVE that has naught to do with person and personality
while simultaneously embracing our humanity.
