Misconceptions about karma - Part 4
Karma and destiny are not the same.
Karma is usually something unconscious and slow or stagnant. It has not been picked up or chosen consciously, but developed over lifetimes of suppression, compulsiveness and ignorance.
Destiny is a conscious decision. Like a plan in a certain way.
Although many people might feel as if they follow their destiny, when they truly are enslaved to their karmic ties.
Often nothing feels more right than doing the wrong things.
We know how the wrong people can feel so right to us, like soulmates, as if we were destined to share our lives with them.
When we experience something or someone karmic, it feels "perfect" to us and it has this addictive and toxic note to it.
We often intellectually understand that something or someone is not good for us, but we still can't let go. And we still feel as if it was destined for us.
These karmic pulls are often stronger than logic and reason.
Of course we don't only have negative karmic strings to toxic behaviour, toxic relationships or bad habits and thought patterns.
We also have neutral and good karma.
But even that is not destiny.
Destiny is something that is meant to be. Often to free us, teach us or fulfil a desire or mission and it's often beneficial for the collective.
Karma feels as if it was meant to be, because it is what our energy system is used to, what is familiar to us.
The decision that somthing is meant to be and is supposed to happen, it is destiny, is made far beyond logic. Usually during death.
Karma and destiny can be woven into each other. It can be, that dissolving your karma itself is your destiny.
Or it can be that your karmic patterns lead you towards your destiny.
But it can on the contrary be as well, that your karmic patterns are so strong, that they distract you from your destiny and you get entangled and miss your destiny.
Destiny can be failed.
And some people don't even have a destiny.
Some beings are so unconscious, they spend their whole existence in complete darkness and absence of truth and light.
They spend their whole life according to their karma.
They are driven by these unconscious karmic cycles and think it is their destiny.
And some don't even think at all.
They just assume that whatever karmic bubble they exist in, is the ultimate reality.
As I said before, karma can lead us to our destiny if they both got woven into each other.
It can be planned that a being, within a new lifetime, becomes aware of their karma and uses it to fulfil a certain destiny.
It might even be possible that it happens unconsciously.
But more often it is the case that karma is a distraction and opposes destiny.
Fulfilling your destiny is not always an easy and pleasant path to go.
We might miss certain events or people that were destined to be in our lives, by making the wrong choices and being too distracted and enslaved by our karmic energies that are glued to us.
We have a free will and karma can urge us to use it wrongly and make the wrong decisions.
