Re: the truth behind Montalk
It's not true that karma comes back to you only if you believe it. Sheer nonsense.
That certainly wasn't what I meant, if you were in fact referring to my previous statement. Once you 'forgive all' and 'allow all' all-the-time, you no longer create karma that can come back to you. Sure if you keep creating karma (actions) that can come back, they will. But once you see the never ending wheel of karma for what it is you can choose to not take the actions that create the backlash.
But that still isn't to say that $#!T won't happen to you. It is to say that not all the $#!T is karmic. And if you view it all as such you just perpetuate the wheel. Sure there may be stuff left over from other lives that you are learning the inverse action to. So you learn it and move on. I've seen where I've learned inverse actions and situations still perpetuated. At that point I know there's something else at work. I'm not going to keep judging myself because of the actions of entities that have done everything in their power to hold me back my whole life. I'm going to see the situation for what it is and do what I can with what I got. They get my perpetual forgiveness because I understand where they are coming from. The anger is gone so there is no energy or karmic attachment left. It takes 2 to karmic tango.
So I do think/feel that 'some' of the hard things in life can just be some other entity that is trying to bring you down and has nothing to do with some previous action on your part. I didn't 'just' come to that conclusion either. It has taken years of honesty and observation to get there.
All in all I think we're on the same page just viewing from different vantage points. I certainly don't think I can go out and commit gross acts against another without reciprocation. I do think that I can stop the wheel of karma in this lifetime by my choices.
