I have a “friend” who stole from me. He doesn’t believe in karma. Most people do not understand what karma is nor how it works. There are some fantastic Korean dramas which depict how a past life affects this life, but I wanted to find a source which one can digest without the emotions involved in dramas.

The Late Notorious Doc had this book in his collection and our friend Mart loved it. I wanted to read it and I finally got a chance when Harry Leo Duran died. 

I’ve had it on my desk now for over a year wanting to transcribe pages 230-231. Oddly enough, I signed up for a webinar by Christopher Hareesh Wallis about the the Sutra Project which aired on December 8, 2023. 

Towards the end of the live presentation, I felt myself dissolving. I got dizzy and knew I could not continue with Christopher’s “transmission” alone in the house with 5 dogs and 3 cats and no one who could get here if anything happened to me. I staggered to my bed and lay down with the teaching still playing on my computer. I passed out when the webinar ended.

I tried listening to the replay taking a precaution this time by lying down in my bed first. That was just as unnerving as I fell asleep and started dreaming about being in one of Christopher’s classes and dissolving in front of everyone. The phone rang and jarred me awake.

How on earth is the Sutra Project connected to Mishra’s 1993 paperback and stranger yet what was I reading right before the Notorious Doc died while sitting next to the lake at South Fork while the fellow who would eventually end up stealing was metal detecting?

You guessed it! I finally decided back on November 5, 2021 to really dig into the aphorisms of Śiva which is the very same text which Christopher has translated and which he is now offering in a course where you can receive the transmissions he received. Transmissions is a next to impossible concept to grasp. It’s not telepathy. It’s as if an entire teaching is sent – transmitted – directly from the original teacher to student down through time and across space and if you are open to it, it will blast your soul.

Now one of the things about karma is if you accumulated enough merit, learning such material is easy because you learned in a past life. But the concept of karma has been terribly watered down by New Age crackpots and for most people, this life is being wasted because one cannot address the past nor current moment nor future if one has a lot of crackpot ideas floating in one’s mind.

So, let me start back at the beginning and transcribe page 226 and let you read Kamalakar Mishra’s own words published in 1993.

“In a system like Kashmir Śaivism the problem of evil becomes all the more prominent, for the incompatibility of evil with the creation of Śiva becomes conspicuous. In Kashmir Śaivism, creation is conceived of as the spontaneous outcome of the bliss (ānanda) of Śiva; it is the sportive activity (līlā) of the Lord, the cosmic dance of Națarāja. Moreover, Śiva, which literally means “the good” or “the benign”, is just the opposite of evil. Here the question arises, if Creation is the blissful play of “the benign”, where do sin and suffering come from?

And that is one of the questions I asked the minister of the United Methodist Church in Westfield, New Jersey when I had my “audience” with him prior to getting confirmed. His answer was elusive and he gave me that look adults give 13 year old snot nosed kids who see through the bullshit when they do not know the answer and just want the kid gone. He couldn’t answer it and I decided I’d spend the rest of my life finding the answers for myself. Which I did.

And in case you’re wondering, I was very quickly uninvited to parties and was not a “fun” kid. I wasn’t a fun adult either and I’m not much of a fun old lady although I did go dumpster diving and I want to go see the new Willy Wonka film on a Tuesday when the tickets are only $6, but it won’t stop snowing, so I might just have to wait for it to end up on a streaming service. I’m not just a stick in the mud. I’m not. Really, I can try to be human.

I’m going to skip ahead onto page 227 because there’s all this talk about plagiarism and using too many words from a book which violates copyright laws regarding fair use. The book is a must read if you are in the least bit in a quandary about such things.

“The sole purpose of Creation is to free the soul.” That’s on page 227. Let that sink in.

Scrolling down the page “If one merely sees evil in the world and concludes the Divine does not exist, his is too hasty a conclusion”.

The heading on page 228 reads “FREE WILL AND MORAL EVIL”!

The year 2024 has kicked off with a devastating earthquake, a bizarre fight at a Miami shopping mall, and a lot of deaths from war. Oh and volcanoes are acting up. And then there’s the Jeffrey Epstein pedophile network being exposed in tiny snippets like a Chinese water torture as if evil needs to be served in a stopper used to feed baby birds!

Mishra continues with this explanation about how Lord Śiva wants all sentient beings (I’m inserting my Buddhist perspective on this) to follow a path of goodness – Christians like to use the word righteousness. It’s the same concept. As the author progresses through his explanation we finally get to the paragraph I wanted to transcribe.

Page 230

If the innocent suffers, does it not go against the justice of God and the divine Law of Karma? . . . The Law of Karma demands that no innocent should suffer, therefore one does not suffer at the hands of an offender unless one’s own karma warrants the suffering.

YIKES. And here I will insert a story that’s all over the web for which I cannot track down a primary source.

Apparently, there are folk legends or possibly written accounts of the past lives of the major characters in the epic THE Mahābhārata.

It’s pretty gruesome. A decent man is born blind and has all of his sons killed in a single war. Why? Well, he was a despicable man centuries before and pay attention, he killed a swan and her chicks. Pay back took several lifetimes. One does have to shutter at this. It’s why you want to burn off all past life karma while alive. Otherwise you have to pay it forward or burn part of it off in HELL!

The Book of Job doesn’t do justice to the idea of misfortune. Instead Job is a lab test subject between the God of the Bible and some character who is considered an adversary. And this gets really complicated.

In the Amazon series Good Omens, Crowley is the one who is sent to destroy Job’s life but he can’t make himself do it. It’s very well done even though it’s blasphemous.

So, now that you’ve gagged and giggled, let’s get back to pages 230-231.

. . . a person may abuse his or her free will and try to harm someone, and by that act he or she may be liable to be punished for he or she is committing a sin, but however he or she may try to harm the other person, that person will not be harmed unless he or she has already committed a sin and his or her own karma justifies the suffering. The divine governance is such that one’s own previous karma, of this life or a past life, is adjusted against the suffering that one receives from an offender. 

In the divine governance it is ordained that the suffering of the so-called innocent at the hands of a tyrant becomes possible only when the previous karma ready for fructification (prarābdha karma) of the visibly innocent person is adjusted against the present suffering.

And Mishra goes on into greater detail.

In Roman Catholicism they teach that great suffering will hit you like a ton of bricks, BUT if you’ve been doing your prayers etc, it will be lessened. In Buddhism, you try to acquire merits so when that car hits you, it’s only a fender bender and you’re not crushed to death.

You will get a flat tire but karma dictates the tire will go flat in your driveway on your day off unless you’ve done bad shit and then it will blow out on a highway at high speed and you’ll get killed or maimed, etc.

Does this make sense now?

And remember what you do in this life will affect the next one and the next one on throughout time. There are techniques to BURN it all off and that’s what I’ve tried to do since I learned about it in high school. IT can be very emotionally painful. It can be physically painful. It’s not for the weak. But it’s definitely worth the effort.

The fiend from Hell aka the Notorious Doc read these books. He had great teachers. Famous ones. And yet he chose to dive head first into Hell. I will never understand why. I tried to avert his Fate and failed. Don’t know why I thought it was my role to try. Watching someone self-destruct is gut wrenching. I’ve seen it happen in other people’s lives. I try to warn them and the inevitable happens.

In my life right now I’m fighting against a very evil company that has financially ruined a lot of people. They stole $40,000 of my savings which I could not afford to lose. They did worse to others.

But, I hope that if I fight hard enough and try to encourage the other victims to try again, we will succeed. Evil has permeated the souls of so many humans over the past many thousands of years. With social media and non-stop news we see the evil oozing out of people right on the screen. The Kurukshetra War (Sanskrit: कुरुक्षेत्र युद्ध ), also called the Mahabharata War according to recent calculations took place 3,162 years ago. Assuming these calculations are correct, that’s around the same time

as Ramesses VI, 20th Dynstasty New Kingdom Egypt.

Keep in mind all these incredible great amazing civilizations are gone. We just have ruins and tattered decaying books written on papyrus (Egyptian), vellum (Roman), birch bark (Sanskrit), otomí bark (Mayan) linen, rice paper, clay, and stone. Do your best to not REPEAT negative past behavior and strive to live according to the teachings of the great masters who advised everyone to behave and live a life you will not have to atone for ever. That’s karma and Karma as you know is a REAL Bitch!
