The thing is we have been ever type of being possible on this and other planets, so even though we may think of ourselves as a good person in this lifetime. In previous lifetimes we may have been very negative personalities. Karma isn't always instant. In fact in many situations it takes a long time perhaps many lifetimes for the Karma to ripen. The law of Karma is teaching us as an immortal Spirit the consequences of our creative acts, acts of mind, emotion, and physicality. We are always creating, whether positive or negative. All we create comes back to us. Within Karma is the lesson of love and wisdom that teaches the immortal spirit over vast amounts of time that we are responsible for what we create, and what we give and send to others, how we treat others, is how we in the end treat ourselves. For we are all one. Thus the saying "love thy neighbor as thyself", can only sink in over countless lifetimes of experience and the introspection of the spirit, which finally learns this lesson in the end.
To create love, peace, happiness and harmony, to give and express these and other positive minds within our mental, emotional and phsysical existence allows us to experience these things in our future. The higher realms of such glorious happiness, beauty, splendour and wonder can be experienced through the positive karma created by such minds. Yet there is another lesson that others who are themselves suffering from the karma they have created are not only our brothers and sisters, they are ourselves. We are one with them, so what happens to them happens to us. Thus their suffering is our suffering and we are not content to simply experience worlds of bliss while those we love are suffering. Yet this realisation has to come for oneself, no one can force it on you. Through compassion we enter the world to help others through their suffering.
In the darkness of a world embroiled by negative karma, there is much suffering and we who are here have no choice but to experience it. In such a situation, there is only one story on Earth worth telling. It is how our Love for each other binds us as one, and how our Compassion causes us to help each other. Only through Love and Compassion will the human race be healed and go on to ascend as a whole to a higher existence to eventually be permanently free from suffering. To serve the purposes of Love is to express the will of the divine that all living beings fulfill the divine destiny for which they were created and attain liberation without exception. This is the Great Work.
Our self centered mind creates an attitude that is obsessed with money and whatever we can get from others. It creates greed, anger, obsession, jealousy, lust, attachment and all the other negative minds. Hatred, violence and war are delusions that flare where Love, Patience and Compassion are absent. Thus these negative minds when acted on create negative karma, which perpetuates the cycle of suffering for all involved. Thus the sayings in the bible. "What you sow, you shall reap", "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.", "Love thy neighbor as thyself.". It may take LONG time for us to learn these lessons. MANY EONS and ages of repeating the same thing over and over again, until we finally learn the lesson that sinks into our heart for eternity. However long it takes, the lesson WILL be learned. The Law of Karma is slow, but it is absolutely thorough. Herein is the Love of the divine expressed through the law of karma.
