*Methodology of Karma* Q: You shared an experience with us in which you took responsibility once for another person's actions. And in order to balance this act which occurred in the now, you went back into one of your past lives, presumably in an alternate time track, and produced a disease. Now, if you create your universe, if you create your own reality, if the universe reflects whatever belief system you have: why didn't you change your reality or belief system, such that the issue of integrity, or the balancing of actions, did not enter? Now, if you could not do that, it must be that there must be some absolute cosmic laws, which must be adhered to; if that's the case, then believing in your own reality is limited to adhering to these cosmic laws, or at least within the universe. If there are, what are they? If there are not any absolutes in the universe... B: All right. Thank you. Q: ...then why did you adopt that belief system that you... B: Thank you. Recognize, first of all, that the so-called absolutes for all universes is but one - the fact that you exist. Now, each and every universe can create its own apparent absolutes, to some degree. And by that particular rule - by those particular rules of that particular game - then there are generally agreed-upon absolutes that will generally be followed. And in abiding by those, you will then maintain the balance of the energy within the total game that you are playing. That is also dissolvable, but only when you extract yourself from that universal absolute that you have agreed to create. They are not absolute absolutes, but they will appear to be just as solid as a so-called absolute, as long as you agree in general to abide by them. Within the universe in which I exist, I agree to abide by the notion of the balancing in that way - that there were scenarios in my past life, wherein the playing out of certain positive and negative ideas was, quote/unquote, acceptable then. And therefore, any idea that would fit into allowing that being I was then, to learn what it needed to learn through that particular understanding, or disease, at that time, was put, in your terms, into good use. Q: Is karma an absolute law in the same sense? B: No, except in the sense that it is only a representation of a momentum, karma is completely self-imposed; the idea, the methodology, so to speak, of the karma are completely self-imposed. The so-called absolute within the universal game is simply that it will represent a momentum, a balance, a carry through of an idea once initiated. How it carries through and how it balances out can occur in many different ways. You follow me? Q: Yes. B: The karmic absolute is simply that the energy, once initiated, will carry through as a momentum; but how that plays itself out will depend upon the reasoning within any given life that requires that manifestation, and can use that manifestation to learn something from. In other words, the generation of that balance point that I created was usable in one of my past lives. So I allowed it to stand, in that way, knowing that that past life had the belief systems that would generate that type of reality. And therefore, it could use that type of reality to learn that it did not need to create that type of reality anymore. And that is what allowed me to maintain the existence that I do now, where I know I am the creator of my reality; for, the me that had the disease, was not in cognition that they were the creator of their reality. And the disease allowed them to learn that, so that I could be who I am today. You follow me? Q: Yes. B: Does that assist you? Q: Yes, it does. The personality in that previous life was in an alternate time frame: was that personality associated with your soul? In that case, does that mean that one's soul has multiple numbers of personalities and multiple time tracks? B: Oh, absolutely, the oversoul has an infinite number of fragments. It may choose to project these fragments into any given game at any given moment. Q: In an infinite number of time tracks. B: Yes. Q: If the soul is that infinite, what comes after the soul? What could be more infinite that that? B: Nothing. But you are assuming that there is an after, and there isn't. Everything only is - now, simultaneously. The notion of a before and an after is one of the games you are playing. Q: It's my understanding that there comes a point in evolution where one no longer needs a soul. Is that true? B: One is a soul, in a sense. You may no longer need particular manifestations of the spirit that you are, of the soul that you are. But in a sense, a soul is what you are, although there may be many different definitions to that, many of which might be semantically arbitrary. Your meaning of a soul, and a fifth-density being's meaning of a soul, might be pointing to two different fluctuations of representations of energy. B: You follow me? Q: Thank you. B: Thank you. You are simply consciousness, if you will. You will always be that - in whatever way you choose to manifest yourself. Thank you.
