"As men think so they are, both here and hereafter, thoughts being things,
the parent of all actions, good and bad alike, and as the sowing has been,
so will the harvest be." (The Tibetan Book of the Dead)

Dear Soul Friend,

When you have been reincarnated into all kinds of people, it is hard to
hate them... to hate yourself.

Here is one of the twelve laws of Karma: the Law of Balance which states:

The point of learning lessons is to achieve balance. Imbalances drive your
personal cycle of reincarnation. "What you bring hate to, you reincarnate
to" is how balance is achieved. For you can only truly understand a thing
when you become that thing and cease to judge it or cherish unloving
opinions about it.

Hate will bring us back to the physical world sooner than love will.
Unresolved feelings of anger, hate, fear, and other highly charged
negative emotions from past lives are magnets to people, events, emotions,
and situations in this life now.

For example, people who was severely abused as a child were shocked to
discover they had abused their parents in a past life when the roles were
reversed... reaping now what they sowed in past lives.

The strongest unresolved feelings of anger/hate usually relate to the
uncompleted desire for revenge against those who hurt or murdered us in
past lives.

The strongest unresolved feelings of guilt usually relate to the
determination to complete a task left undone or to keep a solemn promise
made to a loved one in a previous life.

The strongest unresolved feelings of fear almost always relate to the
determination to "get it right this time - finally!"

Often this springs from many failed attempts in past lives to accomplish
an elusive spiritual goal. The repeated failures in the past and the fear
of repeating the failure in the present life is what sets up the karma.

Balance comes when you realize that those who hate and hurt others are
just lashing out against times when they were hated and hurt themselves.
Given that you understand there are no truly bad people - only hurting
people who say and do bad things - you can be compassionate and balanced
towards every person in every situation.

Now that is "good" karma!  For more, see
