There will be times in your life when there will appear to be more karmic situations to handle than other times. That can be true. Every life has cycles and changes that come with the cycles.
When there are times of heavy changes, it seems that there are many situations to handle. At other times, there appears to be more of a plateau; things just flow along easily without apparent turmoil. Both times may be right and proper and normal.
– John-Roger (From: The Journey of a Soul, p. 26)
It is important to learn to accept and work withwhatever is going on, without placing out too much in the way of judgments or self-recriminations. When you accept, it is easy because accepting is not resisting; it is letting things pass through and saying, “Thank you, Lord, for another wonderful day.” When you can do this, it becomes so much easier to break free of the karma. It is important to remember that you do not have to agree with something to accept it. You can disagree with the situation and still accept that that’s the way it is.
Handling karmic situations is like playing “jacks.” You have your hands full of jacks, and you can spread them out and decide which game you want to play. You can play any game you want, but you have to pick them up. You can pick them up one at a time, and that is easy. Almost everybody can do “onesies,” although it may take a long time to pick them up. But you never try for
“allsies” until you’ve accomplished onesies, twosies, threesies, etc. Then, when you have done all the easy ones, you have to go on to something more complicated, like “put them in the basket.” You bring forward a little different skill, which tunes you up a little more. And when you have mastered that, you go on to something like “over the fence” and you learn to master that.
