The theory of karma is spoken about in many of the sacred texts of all the religions in the world and is implied in the Golden Rule, ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.’ The implication is: “As you treat others, so you will be treated”.

Karma is inescapable. Your actions do return to you. It may not be in this lifetime, but it certainly will return in some way. How you deal with the return of this karmic energy determines whether or not you bring your soul further into balance or create more karmic energy that must be dealt with at a later stage. If you seek to learn from the seeming injustices in your life, chances are that you will be balancing your karmic books rather than increasing your karmic debt.

It is helpful to think of Karma as a sort of credit card. Each time we do something in our lives motivated by love, we are ‘paying off’ some of the karmic debts we have built up over our many lifetimes. Each time we act in our selfish interests, we are charging something else to our credit card.
