Avoiding the Collective Karma by: Stuart Wilde

Summary

Your waking intellect (your personality) brings to you an instantkarma. If you are out of control emotionally and inattentive, you slipoff the sidewalk and sprain your ankle, but you are also in the larger,

wider karma that of your tribe or nation, and as the destiny of our nations is to spiral outof control exiting the nation karma is a vital move.

Avoiding the Collective Karmahttp://www.stuartwildeblog.com

Your waking intellect (your personality) brings to you an instant karma. For example, ifyou are diligent and responsible life tends to treat you the same way. If you uncaring andirresponsible you pull to you all sorts that will treat you erratically and let you down. Ifyou are out of control emotionally and inattentive, you slip off the sidewalk and sprainyour ankle; if you stay in control and focused, you complete your journeys withoutincident.

If you are generous, people treat you warmly, if you are mean, life treats you moreharshly. Your waking intellect bends reality to suit your personality. So quite naturally,you see and comprehend life and events as you want to see them, so you may notrealize you are hard on people and yet you may wonder why life is hard on you. Karma ishidden. It doesn t usually offer explanations you have to work things out looking insideyourself.

Beyond the intellect is your subconscious. Very few have much idea what theirsubconscious mind is or what information it contains. You will see it talking to you in yourdreams but it may offer you such an incoherent hotchpotch of images and feelings, youhaven t much idea what it is saying.

The subconscious mind is more the real you, as it doesn t have the fake concoctionof the waking intellect, it just accepts your feeling and ideas and impulses without theability to alter them. Simply put you could say, beyond denial is the subconscious. It isthe perpetual memory of everything that you are and all your innermost feeling. It syour raw self.

Your intellect ceases when your brain stops functioning at death. But I believe yoursubconscious lives on in a mirror-world dimension, a parallel world and that is placedopposite to this one, right is left in the world of the subconscious mind. It effect, thesubconscious is what we call the soul .

Jung discovered much about the collective unconscious. He said we are all linked by thesame archetypes and symbols: mother, father, life, death, etc. I think Jung was right. Weare all one-mind, and while you have your own karma, which is fairly instant, derivedfrom balance and imbalance, you are also linked to a more distant collective karmaof your society or nation, and that is linked into an even more distant global karma.

Deep in the subconscious are your archetypal feeling and impulses: love, hate,equanimity, arrogance, each is a defined compartment; you could say each is adimension of its own birds of a feather flock together in the subconscious realms. Youdrift into that part of the mirror-world that is comfortable for you. Where you go yourlong-term karma goes with you for your subconscious mind can pull to you a long-termindividual karma many years in the becoming, as well as a more distant collective karmathat belong to you as well as many others.

Your instant karma you can easily change by taking charge of your life and being morepractical and living a healthier lifestyle, but your long-term collective karma is moretrapping. You can t escape that as easily unless you make moves very early on. Forexample, if you were a carpenter in Nagasaki in the 1940s, you had your daily instantkarma, keeping your family fed say, but unbeknown to you a collective karmaapproached. If you were aware of your subconscious and that of people around you, youwould have left Nagasaki and many thousands probably did. Others traveled there theday before the bomb. They came to join the collective unconscious department thataccommodates for 200,000 incinerations in one day.

The trick to understanding the collective karma is to listen to what people are sayingabout their feelings and to watch their innermost impulses. If you watch the news you llsee the national-ego running rampant. It s all arrogance, disdain and self-interest. Soyou can see where the national karma might be headed. The trick is to uncouple fromthe collective feelings and try to discover who you really are? Do you agree with ideals

being expressed or do you differ? What are your innermost feelings and impulses? Youmay discover that you like the shared impulses you see on the news, and if you do, youwill have to accept the collective fate that that might create. The problem is you don tknow exactly where the collective fate will end up. Is it Nagasaki or Nirvana?

Here is an example the long-term karma of America is to go bankrupt. Americansconsume more than the planet can provide, eventually the supply and demand lines willcreek and fall apart. If you were a citizen hoping to avoid his or her karma you wouldconsume less and make your ego s needs less demanding, so you could easily handle asudden down-turn. If you were sophisticated at karma avoidance you d be thinkingNagasaki-style and you d plan a move to safety.

America, realizing she would run out of oil, went to war to capture supply lines andresources belonging to others. The long-term karma of that is she will have no oil at all.It will be taken from her. In the subconscious you can see it quite obviously. So karmaavoidance would be to get rid of the gas-guzzler while you still can and downsize to asmall car or even a scooter or moped.

It is part of the British collective mind-set to be right, people are endlessly arguing,sustaining their need to be right. In Britain it is very much more important to be rightthan to be nice. So people are rather nasty to each other while pretending to be rightand so its long-term karma is to be found to be terribly wrong. In then olden days honorand a gentleman s or gentlewoman s code of conduct was what held up the edifice ofBritish life but now that code is lacking. So the country will rot and falter.

The trick to being British is to agree to be wrong and make changes now. If you go downthe path of righteous-indignation you will fall as the country falls. The British feel theyare very superior so their long-term karma is to become inferior. They will lose theireconomic status. If you don t feel you are superior or right, and if status doesn tbother you, the nation s karma won t bother you at all. They French think they areimportant so their long-term destiny is to be become irrelevant, funny eh?

Each of us has the option of going with the collective karma of our people, or you canvote No and walk in the other direction, but you have to make a move soon as a

collective karma is the most trapping and the least easy to escape from. That isbecause people don t see it coming because it is the result of a collective idea thateveryone agrees to so that makes it seem right.

If you very reliant on others you are linked to their karma. The more you becomeself-sufficient and self-reliant, the more you are in your own karma and the easier life isto control. If you can t make major changes make small ones.(The Infinite Self by Stuart Wilde published by Hay House)
