*Integrity and Karma* Q: Hello! B: Hello! Q: Regarding the laws that we agree to abide by within our universe: does functioning within your integrity mean living up to those agreements? B: It depends. The over-all agreements do not necessarily have to be restricting - something that you know represents your excitement and integrity can alter them in many ways. If they are then alterable - what you are referring to as "laws" - then that, in and of itself, may be a sign of your ability to express your integrity by being able to allow them to transform into something else. Because when you are totally integrated as a whole, then there are fewer and fewer limiting specifics. You follow me? So the alteration of the so- called laws may actually be an expression of your integrity, in certain circumstances. Q: Suppose an individual were to go out and kill a hundred people because that's what excites him? Suppose... B: But understand: the idea, again, is that "with integrity" means that you are functioning as an integrated being. Integration is functioning as a whole; meaning there is no separation between you and the beings you are killing. In other words: the recognition that all murder is suicide. And if you wish to truly be empowered, then killing off those beings is like hacking off your own arms and legs. And that is not an expression of integrity or power. And also, when you use the term excitement in that sense, usually you will find it is not precisely excitement that motivates individuals in that direction. It is the negative polarity of the same energy that creates excitement, but the negative polarity is usually expressed as anxiety. You follow me? Q: Yes. Suppose the victims agree to be victims? B: That does not excuse the perpetrator for not being strong enough to not fall into the victim's game. Q: What would be the consequences, then of violation of integrity in this fashion? B: Perhaps you will create another scenario wherein you will have learned that the violation of integrity, in that sense, does not serve to empower you. And then you will express a lifetime, maybe, or an experience, where you will be the expression of integrity. Some individuals may choose to have other individuals attempt to violate them as a sort of /quid pro quo/ exchange. That is not necessary all the time. An individual who murders an individual in one life does not necessarily have to be murdered in another life, although many have sought the balance in that way. An individual can, perhaps, talk someone out of murdering someone else, and fulfill the same balance. Do you follow me? But the overall idea, of course, on a very fundamental level, is that to the Oversoul all experiences are learning experiences. And since you truly are infinite and indestructible - no matter what you have done - whether it be positive or negative, whether it be an expression of integrity or an expression of lack of integrity, you will still exist, you will still learn. You will still grow, you will still change, you will still have new experiences. So in the overall sense it does not really much matter what you have done. But it is simply up to you to understand that your own life, with the expression of integrity, will be far more joyful, far more connected, far more effortless. And you will be able to create, without any struggle whatsoever, all that you desire. In expressing lack of integrity, you will find that an individual who does that will struggle, will suffer, will feel powerless, will feel out of control, and will create many, many, many versions of their own expression of negativity within themselves. And not allow them to enjoy life. You follow me? Q: Yes. Is self-imposed karma, then, a way to balance out the integrity agreements? B: Sometimes, although again, karma, being completely self-imposed, does not have to manifest in a retribution-style manifestation. Again, the analogy that karma itself is simply the carrying through of a momentum to create a balanced experience. Again, if you have been a murderer in one life, your self-imposed karma does not insist that you be murdered in the next life to atone for that. You may be able to assist someone either who has had someone close to them murdered, or someone who wants to murder - you may be able to talk them out of it. And that will be just as much of an expression of your balance and karmic imposition as being murdered. And many times just being murdered is not necessarily a true balance. Q: The balance is something that's like an absolute that has to be maintained, but the karma does not. That's something that you don't have to have, if you don't have that belief system. Correct? B: In a sense, correct. But the idea simply is, in the fundamental understanding of karma, is that you'll usually - since you are a collective event - balance the idea out somewhere within your experience, on some level. And that is all karma really is - is simply the overall recognition of all the balances that you are, all the polarities that you are. Q: Where did someone like Adolph Hitler come from? I don't understand... B: He came from your society; he came as an expression of the combined and collective fears, and perhaps, some self-imposed karmic balances, in a negative way, that your society placed upon itself. It was an individual who did not feel their own self-empowerment. And so, in your terms, fell into the adoption of the negativity that was sensed in the society, and expressed it as a reflecting mirror back to the society - to show the society what the combined idea of its fears and negative attitudes have been able to create. Q: That was not functioning within integrity. B: No. Because it was segregative, separative, domineering. That which needs to dominate does not believe it is in control already. Q: Okay. Thank you very much. B: Does that assist you? Q: Yes, very much. B: Thank you. Sharing!
