Karma - It Keeps Going and Going
We all know that what goes around, comes around. Just read the news, or look at history. Those who live by the sword, die by the sword. And if we believe in reincarnation, we can be assured that those who do not taste justice in this life will get it in another.

I might not be a hell-fearing Christian anymore, but I certainly do fear karma. Freedom from karma is an incredibly lofty goal, but it sure would be nice. Do I have the discipline to reach that goal? Am I willing to pay the price? I don't know.

If any of you remember, one of the first entries on this blog mentioned a CD called "Burning Karma." Well folks, I'm happy to report that I finally ordered it from Amazon.com and received it in the mail the other day.

I've listened to it a few times, and I'd say it's pretty good, better than I thought it would be. The first time I listened to it the batteries gave out halfway through, so it was quite a distration.

The second time the same thing happened, though perhaps the calm state of mind I was in lessened the anger I would normally feel towards the obviously defective batteries I bought (that's what happens when you try to save a few bucks by going with the store brand).

The third time I used quality batteries, and the CD player worked fine. So what do I think?

I think it's probable that Leslie Temple-Thurston is highly awakened. They say that enlightened people can transmit their joy even through their voice. It sounds flaky, but I don't doubt it. Your state of mind cannot be fully hidden, it affects others in one way or another. Haven't you ever been around someone and felt good or bad "vibes"?

Well, it's a nice meditation, and I like her voice. I don't know if I burned away any of my karmas. Maybe after a few more listens I'll let you know.
