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

your karmic wheel

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.
