Simply stated, what you put out, you get back. \u00a0If you cause imbalance, the effect is that the imbalance is returned to you, as its creator, and you get to make it right. \u00a0This, in essence, is the action of karma. And it is the creation of karmic situations that institutes the action of reincarnation. Karma is always with yourself, not with anyone else. Others in your life just fit within that karmic flow. If they flow into it the way you like it, you call that &#8220;good karma.&#8221; If they fit into it in ways that you don&#8217;t like, you call that &#8220;negative karma&#8221; or &#8220;bad karma.&#8221; You&#8217;re the one who&#8217;s deciding &#8220;good&#8221; and &#8220;bad;&#8221; the karma is not good or bad, the karma just is. Love your karma. It is your opportunity to learn and to gain wisdom. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18px\"> <div class='spacer'><\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/confirmsubscription.com\/h\/i\/07597536F518B695\" target=\"_blank\">Download e-book<\/a> <a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/store\/product.php?productid=4588&amp;cat=&amp;page=2\">Request a Copy<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As our gift, we would love to share John-Roger\u2019s book, Journey of a Soul. \u00a0This short, informative book explores the nature of your true essence, the Soul.
