So, is there a karmic
wheel? Well, yes and no,
2
:because our perceptions that are
imbalanced are not the actual truth,
3
:they're our misperceptions about reality.
4
:You've probably heard of the term
from the eastern mysticism, karma.
5
:And today I'd like to talk
about karma and the idea,
6
: is there a cosmic boomerang,
7
:Is there some sort of a feedback to us
about our behaviors and our actions?
8
:A causality, a cause
and effect relationship?
9
:So if you have something to write
with and write on, it would be great.
10
:But every time you perceive
11
:somebody else in a way that
you put them up on a pedestal,
12
:and minimize yourself relative
to them, by the law of contrast,
13
:you exaggerate them, you minimize you,
14
:and you feel ashamed or less
than compared to something you
15
:admire, that you think is more than,
16
:that diminished self is stored
in your subconscious mind.
17
:Because you're actually
creating a valency,
18
:a judgment on yourself
and negating yourself.
19
:You're putting a negative charge on it
and you're putting a positive charge on
20
:them.
21
:So you're assuming that they caused you
more pleasure than pain in the sense of
22
:you're admiring them,
23
:but at the same time you're comparing
yourself to them and so you're causing
24
:yourself more pain than pleasure
and minimizing yourself.
25
:You can also see somebody and look
down on them, and put them in the pit,
26
:not on the pedestal. And now you
are exaggerating their negatives.
27
:And now you puff yourself up
and exaggerate your positives,
28
:and you think they're causing you your
pain and you think that they're the cause
29
:of your pain. And you think that
you're now the cause of your pleasure.
30
:So anytime you exaggerate somebody
else and minimize yourself,
31
:or minimize somebody else and exaggerate
yourself, you have an imbalance.
32
:And whenever you are too humble to admit
what you see in these people you admire
33
:inside yourself, you
have a deflected part.
34
:And whenever you're too proud to
admit what you see in them inside you,
35
:you have a deflected part. So
every time you judge somebody,
36
:you have deflected parts, you
have deflective awareness.
37
:That means you're conscious
of the positives and
unconscious of the negatives in
38
:them, and conscious of the negatives
and unconscious of the positives in you.
39
:Or conscious of the negatives in them,
and unconscious of the positives in them.
40
:And conscious of the positives and
unconscious of the negatives in you.
41
:So anytime you judge, you split your
full consciousness, mindfulness,
42
:into conscious and unconscious halves.
43
:You also disown part of what you see
and therefore you have deflective
44
:awareness. When you have deflective
awareness and those disowned parts,
45
:those are emptiness. That's why
whenever you judge somebody,
46
:you have an emptiness inside.
47
:Now when all of a sudden you see
that whatever you perceive in them,
48
:you have in you, and you're not
putting them up and minimizing you,
49
:but leveling the playing field and have
reflective awareness, where the seer,
50
:you, the seeing, the process,
and the seen, them, are the same.
51
:This reflective wa awareness
52
:has a level playing field and you
have equanimity within yourself,
53
:you're balanced in yourself, and you
have equity between you and them,
54
:they're equal and there's an equilibrium.
55
:And now you don't have an emptiness,
you don't have a void there,
56
:you have fulfillment. So when you
actually have a balanced orientation,
57
:have reflective awareness and get to
love the part of them and get to love the
58
:part of you, and are not
exaggerating or minimizing you,
59
:which is inauthenticity, or exaggerating
minimizing them, which is inauthentic,
60
:you now have a balanced orientation.
This balanced and loving orientation,
61
:reflective awareness is the dharma path in
62
:the Eastern mysticism. And every
time we judge is the karmic wheel.
63
:Because anything we infatuate with
or resent we keep dealing with.
64
:You probably tried to sleep at night
somewhere in your life and you had
65
:something that was really,
66
:really resentful on your mind that you
really resented, somebody resented,
67
:and you really put them down and
thought, oh, I would never do that,
68
:and you're too proud to admit
it. And then you can't sleep,
69
:'cause it's regurgitating in your brain,
70
:it's intrusive with thoughts
and you basically constantly
going through the mind
71
:and has difficulty sleeping.
72
:And if you infatuate with
somebody and minimize yourself,
73
:the same thing can occur.
74
:Anytime you polarize the mind and
exaggerate or minimize others and then
75
:yourself, minimize and
exaggerate yourself, you have
that deflective awareness.
76
:It's stored in the subconscious mind.
77
:It becomes intrusive
thoughts or brain noise,
78
:static in the receiving system. And when
you do, it just keeps reverberating.
79
:It reverberating, it's stored
in the subconscious mind.
80
:The subconscious mind stores all lopsided
perceptions until you bring them into
81
:balance. And when they go into
balance, you have a transcendent state,
82
:a superconscious mind,
83
:and you have love and appreciation and
inspiration and enthusiasm and certainty
84
:and presence. You're not wavering
with uncertainties, you're present.
85
:So that's the dharmic path in
the Eastern Buddhist tradition.
86
:And the karmic wheel is
all of those judgments.
87
:So anytime you judge others
or judge yourself and
exaggerate or minimize them or
88
:you, you automatically have
this idea of a false causality.
89
:'Cause When you exaggerate yourself,
90
:you'll feel proud and you assume that
you did something more positive than
91
:negative. When you're ashamed,
92
:you think you did more negative than
positive to someone. When you admire,
93
:infatuate with them, you think they did
more positive than negative to somebody,
94
:you. And when you resent somebody,
95
:you think that they did more
negative than positives to you.
96
:Anytime you have a judgment and you have
an imbalanced ratio of perceptions and
97
:you have a polarization and you have a
valency, as they call it in chemistry,
98
:and it's charged,
positively or negatively,
99
:and you're judging and you think you're
too good or too bad relative to somebody
100
:else, or they're too bad or too good
relative to you and deflective awareness,
101
:that's the so-called karmic
wheel. And that does run your,
102
:impact your life.
103
:It just keeps regurgitating in the
brain until you finally bring it back to
104
:balance. The brain stores,
the amygdala inside the brain,
105
:the subcortical part of the brain assigns
the valency, assigns the judgment,
106
:the hippocampus then stores
that in the memory process.
107
:And we sit there and they're stored
until we bring it to balance.
108
:That's why I tell people to come
to the Breakthrough Experience,
109
:the seminar I do on how to
dissolve that and teach them the
110
:breakthrough, the Demartini Method.
111
:The Demartini Method is a series of
specific questions on how to dissolve all
112
:those judgments and to liberate
yourself from all those regurgitating,
113
:that brain noise and the noise in the
brain that's basically holding you back
114
:and distracting you.
115
:Because anything that you infatuate with
or resent is an impulse or an instinct
116
:that distracts you from being present
and being certain in life and being
117
:empowered in life. So is there a
karmic wheel? Well, yes and no,
118
:because our perceptions that are
imbalanced are not the actual truth.
119
:They're our misperceptions about reality.
120
:You've met people before where you were
infatuated with them and you thought,
121
:wow, they were, you've got them up on
a pedestal. And then a day, a week,
122
:a month, a year, or five years
later, you look back and go, wow,
123
:now that I really get to know them,
124
:I find out they've got just
as many downsides as upsides.
125
:And the thing you think was terrible
in your life, a day, a week, a month,
126
:a year, five years later,
you look back and go, well,
127
:now it's a turning point in my
life, I'm glad that happened.
128
:So you can have the wisdom of the ages
without the aging process by looking now
129
:and asking the right questions by doing
the Demartini Method I explain in the
130
:Breakthrough Experience.
131
:Or you can have the wisdom of the ages
with the aging process and age
132
:The karmic wheel when you judge and
you don't neutralize it is the aging
133
:process. And the dharmic path, which
is the path of purpose in life,
134
:which realizes that no
matter what's going on,
135
:it's actually part of a balanced act
and is trying to get you back into
136
:equilibrium. See our intuition, which
is a homeostatic mechanism in our brain,
137
:it's trying to point out the downsides
to the thing you think is up and to the
138
:upsides to when you think you're
down. So if you're resenting somebody,
139
:it's trying to whisper you the
upsides to calm down the resentment.
140
:And if you're infatuated it's
trying to show you the downsides.
141
:So if you meet this really guy
that you're really infatuated with,
142
:your brain says, too good to be
true, keep your eyes open, watch out,
143
:your intuition's trying to show you
the downside so you're not gullible.
144
:You have enough skepticism
to balance the gullibility.
145
:Then if you're resentful and you have
something that happened and your brain
146
:says, well, there's got to be a
purpose to this, a meaning to this,
147
:there's got to be some reason for this.
148
:It's trying to bring them into balance
so you can see that no matter what
149
:happens, it's actually got a balanced act.
150
:So anytime you have an
imbalanced ratio of perceptions,
151
:you've got emotions and
emotions are causal,
152
:and they basically keep you in this
regurgitating and static in the brain and
153
:this noise in the brain,
and you're trapped.
154
:You're embondaged to whatever
you infatuate or resent.
155
:It occupies space and time in
your mind. And so therefore,
156
:the embondagement of this so-called
karmic wheel is simply our
157
:inability to ask the right questions
to balance out the equation,
158
:to have reflective
awareness over deflections.
159
:When we actually ask the right question,
160
:which is I developed in
the Demartini Method.
161
:It's very precise questions on how to
take whatever you're perceiving in an
162
:imbalanced way that's running your
life, that's holding you back,
163
:which is limited beliefs,
164
:basically if you ask those questions
and neutralize it and hold yourself
165
:accountable, which means to bring
your balance sheet in balance,
166
:you hold yourself accountable and you
liberate yourself from all the baggage,
167
:and you're out of your karmic
path and on your dharmic path,
168
:
to the dharmic path.
169
:Instead of going around in circles,
you actually get focused Again.
170
:That's why I tell people to come to the
Breakthrough Experience and learn the
171
:method and use the method,
172
:because you can weigh yourself down with
baggage and be gravitationally weighed
173
:down, or you can be lightened up and
inspired by balancing out the equation.
174
:It's not what happens to you in
life, it's how you perceive it.
175
:And if you choose to perceive it in
a way that's leaving you empty with
176
:judgment, then you're
trapped. You trapped yourself.
177
:You chose to be caught
in that moral hypocrisy.
178
:The things you think are terrible
actually have terrific in it.
179
:It's like a yin and yang symbol.
180
:And the things you think are
terrific have terribles in it.
181
:Don't be fooled by facades, don't
be fooled by one-sided perspectives.
182
:They're not the whole. The
whole is a balance of opposites.
183
:You could say that the synchronicity and
the synthesis of all opposites is what
184
:I call love.
185
:And when you have an imbalance and
you've got your conscious and unconscious
186
:mind split, you've got
judgments and strife. That
was made stated by Empedocles,
187
:literally 2,500 years ago, he
said there's love and strife.
188
:When you put the elements together and
integrate and balance the equation,
189
:you have love. When you have an
imbalanced equation, you have strife.
190
:So if you have a balanced perspective,
you have a balanced physiology,
191
:a balanced psychology,
and you're governed,
192
:and you see the hidden order in life.
When you don't, you're in chaos.
193
:And so that karmic wheel, if
you will, that's been described,
194
:that keeps regurgitating
in whatever we experience,
195
:judging ourselves or others just
keeps recycling in our life,
196
:is not because it has to be there,
197
:it's not because there's some sort of
punishment and reward system really.
198
:It's that we haven't loved it,
199
:and it's giving us a reminder and it's
giving us feedback to let us know what we
200
:haven't loved so it gives
an opportunity to love it.
201
:And the quality of our life's based on
the quality of the questions we ask.
202
:If we ask questions that help equilibrate
the mind and balance out the mind and
203
:transform the so-called karmic wheel
into the dharmic path, we're freed,
204
:we're liberated. We have moksha
in a sense, satori
205
:We have a rejuvenation of our being,
206
:and we're actually in the essence of our
being instead of the existence of our
207
:becoming.
208
:We're not in a personal personas and
masks that we are wearing where we're
209
:exaggerating and minimizing
with imposter syndrome,
210
:but we're actually in the state of grace
and love and inspiration and enthusiasm
211
:and certainty and presence,
the transcendental state,
212
:which is the super conscious mind.
213
:So we can either live in the subconscious
mind and run around in the wheel of
214
:the boomerang effect in the, that they've
called it in the Eastern mysticism.
215
:Or you can actually get in the
superconscious mind and be on the path.
216
:I'd much rather tell people on the path.
217
:That's been my mission
for 51 years teaching,
218
:that why each of these
classes I present each week,
219
:and that's basically a design to do that.
220
:So you have the capacity to ask
quality questions to equilibrate to
221
:mind and bring yourself back
into equanimity within yourself,
222
:so you're authentic and equity between
yourself and others where you have
223
:reflective awareness. When you do,
224
:you liberate yourself from the things
that preoccupy your mind and recycle
225
:around in your life and
keep running your life.
226
:And the so-called karmic
boomerang, if you will,
227
:and you liberate yourself and
get on with your mission in life.
228
:An inspired mission is not the same
as a regurgitating and recycling
229
:passions.
230
:The animal passions are all the judgments
and all the emotions that are trapping
231
:in us. And the inspired mission is the
path that's clear and consciously full,
232
:we have mindfulness, if you will.
And that's what meditation was for.
233
:That's what the Demartini Method's
for in the Breakthrough Experience.
234
:That's what I tell people to come
to the Breakthrough Experience.
235
:If they come there, I can show them a
methodical, scientific, duplicatable,
236
:transcribable, translatable,
237
:literally methodical system to help
them dissolve the baggage that's
238
:holding back and running them
down and distracting them.
239
:So I just wanted to take
a few moments to describe
240
:this so-called karmic boomerang,
if you will, in the world.
241
:And just know that you have the capacity
with the quality of the questions you
242
:ask to liberate it. So in the Demartini
Method at the Breakthrough Experience,
243
:I show you exactly what the
questions are, how to do them,
244
:I let you experience it, and
we do it. We dissolve stuff.
245
:You see the difference,
feel the difference,
246
:experience the difference
right there on the spot.
247
:And you learn how to use that
for the rest of your life.
248
:And that's worth the
learning. I promise you.
249
:I've been studying
human behavior 51 years,
250
:and I'm certain you have the
capacity to transform your life.
251
:You don't have to be caught, you don't
have to sit there and blame well,
252
:it's because of some past life karma that
I've got this thing trapping me in my
253
:life. No. Even in
multi-generational epigenetics,
254
:we know that we have the capacity to
change the epigenetics at any moment.
255
:We have the capacity to
change the so-called karma.
256
:And that is simply by asking quality
questions that equilibrate the mind and
257
:liberate us from the, the misinformation
that we're giving ourselves.
258
:Just like out there in the mass media,
259
:there's misinformation
campaigns going on in the media,
260
:there's also misinformation
that we give ourselves.
261
:And then we want to be
able to use objective.
262
:That's why I tell people
to live by priority.
263
:When you're living by your highest
priorities and living by what's most
264
:important to you, you increase the
probability of having an objective view,
265
:a balanced view, and you
have less of the karma.
266
:If you prioritize your life and prioritize
what you're doing and what you're
267
:eating and what you're spending
your money on and everything,
268
:prioritize your life,
269
:you decrease the probability of the karmic
wheel and increase the probability of
270
:the dharmic path. Because your highest
value is an expression of your highest,
271
:your path in life, your
teleological purpose if you call it.
272
:So give yourself permission
to prioritize your life.
273
:Give yourself permission
to ask quality questions.
274
:Give yourself permission to live
objectively, not subjectively,
275
:prioritize your life. Come to
the Breakthrough Experience.
276
:Let me show you how to break through the
limitations that you may be imposing on
277
:yourself and being trapped by in these
impulsive and instinctual cycles that you
278
:get caught in and show you
how to liberate your life.
279
:The path of inspiration is
what's possible for all of us.
280
:So I just wanted to
take a moment like that.
281
:I look forward to seeing you at the
Breakthrough Experience and have an
282
:absolutely amazing week.
