Karma By Deception
A little known fact about karma
is that it is quite possible to
personally create karma as a result of doing something on behalf of
another person who asks us to act, even when we are unaware of any
potential harm stemming from our action. The nature of karma is
that
the person who acts (even on behalf of another) is responsible for
their actions and can incur karma
as a consequence.
There are many examples
of this. A person might want a dishonest deed accomplished for them and
so
trick an innocent other into doing it, thus creating
karma for the innocent one. It could be called Karma by Deception - a
term my angels gave me. The example could play out like this: one
friend requests another friend to fetch his
computer from an empty classroom while he goes to bring his car around.
The innocent
friend goes and faithfully takes the laptop unseen and gives it to his
friend as they drive off together, a seemingly perfect crime because
the innocent person has no idea he just stole a computer. He was
gullible. Does
this invoke karma for the one who physically took the computer? You bet
it does!
This may seem very unfair at first, for we are sure that the friend's
intentions were the very best; he wanted to help. But as
a direct result of his gullibility, another person has lost an
expensive piece of equipment and will undoubtedly be upset and angry.
If he had not been so gullible, the real thief may have been too
chicken to grab the goods himself. So he needed to manipulate another
to do so.
In terms of karma this may seem unfair at first, yet aren't we
always
held responsible for ALL of our actions all of the time, according to
karma? I remember a time when a friend had fooled me into saying
something to another person, telling me it was part of a joke.
Believing this
person, I did as I was asked and only realised later that this
so-called friend had roped
me into saying something that would upset another. We can all probably
think of a time we were
duped into doing something for someone else that turned out to be less
than
innocent, and we feel bad afterwards. We have created unintended karma
whilst learning to be more on guard so that the situation can never
repeat.
Larger Instances of "Karma By Deception"
There is karma that is personal and only affects a few people, then
there are instances of karma that influence a whole population
of people in an ill way through deception. One such instance that
comes to mind is through television programs and advertisements.
Someone
who is reading off a script for a factual show and reports lies as
truth,
even if those lies are written by another, is still somewhat
responsible through
gullibility for spreading untruths. This includes advertisements also.
Often people with a high "light quotient" are chosen to appear in
advertisements that push dark or unhealthy products. Think of all those
poor souls who formally appeared in cigarette ads acting the "fun" part
whilst advising
everyone to light up. They literally and personally spread disease and
were paid
to do so, all innocently we are sure. The makers of dangerous or
unhealthy products are often wise to karma and that is why they hire
others to do the actual selling, thereby putting the responsibility
somewhat onto them. The actors meanwhile were not to know the
harm they were encouraging, yet they did still encourage it.
All manner
of unhealthy junk
food is pushed onto us through persistent ads containing innocent,
light-filled souls, even children (no one has more light than a little
child). The same could be said for devices that keep us awash with
unhealthy radiation. Meanwhile, the corporation they represent may also
be responsible
for
cutting down Amazon forests, or taking away worker's rights in China -
who knows? Those who get into bed with darkness share the same karma to
some extent as the dark entity/corporation that hires them. Karma is
universal law in action. Although many may doubt this is truth,
believing they couldn't possibly be responsible for a bad act they
didn't
know was bad, the angels assure me there is culpability in terms of
karma for all harmful deeds.
Our Relationship With Authority
Now we come to perhaps the most
heinous Karma By Deception that I can
even think of which involves following a direct order
calling on
one person to maim or kill another. An obvious one is the
military, and it is no easy subject to contemplate. When people go off
to fight in a war, they usually full-heartedly believe that the enemy
is dangerous and therefore needs to be stopped (i.e. killed). And our
movies and entertainment brainwash us also that the
only solution
to all
problems is
to kill, not talk or negotiate but go in and shoot. Soldiers
could not destroy
other lives if they did not believe this.
Often soldiers or police are
not trained in human rights, but rather trained to take away those
rights. They are trained to see the death of innocents in wartime as
collateral damage, as needed for the end result, not as suffering or
murder. Most of those who are paid to do the killing or the dropping of
bombs, mistakenly believe there is no karma involved because an
authority told them to do it - so it is not personal to them. Yet this
is incorrect by God's laws, and the karma they accrue is proof of this.
This is not to judge in any way those who seek to protect, and are
ordered to do so through violence. This is just to state the fact that
such actions can be inherently karmic, whether we know it at the time
or not.
This is true of the medical industry as well. Many doctors are trained
to give drugs, injections and even chemotherapy (which is a deadly
poison) to
their patients. Being trained is the same as following the orders of
the powers above them, by the authority. Statistics are high regarding
death after
taking a simple medication, others die after an injection as we can see
by prolific lawsuits if you search the internet. Unfortunately for
doctors
who are trying to save lives, some percentage of karma goes to them,
along with the chemical manufacturers. The karma is
shared by all parties who contribute to any harm, yet it is well known
that the life of a doctor is full of much unintended
karma since a doctor is one of the
most
karmic professions there is.
By the same token, those medical professionals who help to restore true
health or save lives can accrue wonderful karma in return. As someone
who is in a position to train
to administer medications to others, I refuse this training because I
understand the karma involved. Handing
one dangerous medication to just
one person is karmic, even if I am
ignorant of what is in the medication. Most people have no idea about
karma and you have to wonder if they did know, who would hand out those
medications so readily?
Is this fair? It doesn't seem particularly fair, yet as humans we are
spiritually responsible
for every
action we take that affects another's life. It is sobering to realise
this, yet timely when in our modern world, more people than
ever before are taking orders and following the line of some
"authority" or other, believing it makes them safe. Often people
mistakenly believe that if large numbers of people are doing the wrong
thing then it doesn't spiritually count - this couldn't be more wrong.
Don't be deceived into creating more bad karma
than you need. Whilst the world may offer the message that some actions
are okay if you are ordered to do them, try to think in terms of the
consequences of those actions and if you think they may be karmic for
you personally.
