ok i feel you. i like to believe in that for every action there is an equal and oppoiste reaction
honestly i think the idea of karma is an instant feeling you get
karma seems to be that exact emotion and feelin you have at that moment
but people like to add trivial things to it like oh i found a dollar must be good karma
if you help an old lady across the street, the feelin you get if honest is true karma imo...if you steal then that exact emotion and thoguht process of knowin right from wrong and still chossing wrong is karma
i could be wrong but its my lil theory...could change with age
my question would be how would that translate into something you could actually tell someone and they can somewhat understand it?comin from a younger dude
its crazy how the shyt my fam used to tell me still rings in the back of my head when certain situations arise
and sometimes i still made the wrong choices
yea if feel that
i think nowadays you gotta throw a lil flavor to it
like have an underlying message that can be picked up without comin off as preachy
imo, it would be by relating to the person with love and compassion (getting as close as you can to the frequency of the other person's thoughts, in their point of thinking in space or "mind space").
imo, existence is the reception of the image of reality and life via experience is our understanding (to varying degrees) of existence.
being thoughtful with the language that we use, since language is an expression of what we think we know about how things are (reality).
one of the first philosophical realizations is to know that you do not know. the things that we learn are in layers, so once we think we know about something, we can still learn more about that thing.
for example, looking at an image from a distance one can acknowledge what it may be. as one gets closer to the image or idea, he will then have more detail and resolution and hence, a better understanding.
that helps in communicating what we think we know and a step further, helps us learn what we think others may know.
however, there is a slippery-slope. being aware at a certain level and disregarding that awareness has its ramifications. understanding is a certain level of awareness and realization is another layer of knowing the truth.
sometimes people are not ready to hear what you have to say or you may not be ready to convey a message you think you understand. because what you say may sound like nonsense to the person that does not care to be in your mindspace, either because of his lack of detail in understanding or yours.
we can do certain things in practice to help us have better understanding: paying better attention to our surroundings (having more awareness). reflecting, which is thinking about our experiences and how we as individuals fit in the picture. meditating, allowing our thoughts to clear of the emotions of the energy that has "charged" our thoughts. reading, if one is a religious or spiritual person, then they would take the time to read scripture that is relevant to them.
i hope that doesn't sound corny or preachy, but i used the language that i used because it is very basic, which is more relatable in scope - through dialogue and conversation we can add more detail.
