Heavy Karmic Baggage

The question below was posed by a reader in the Comments section of "How Can God Have A Son?".

"I still have a problem in seeing that we return to earth because someone in the distant past ran up a huge karmic debt and the present human being in the microcosm has to pay it off!"

Understood. Let's try to eliminate the confusion.

That "someone in the distant past" was you. All of the "someone's" who have previously inhabited your microcosm were you. Man is a microcosm. You can think of the microcosm as a container. This container houses all of the accumulated force-centers, powers, attributes, experiences, karma and destiny of the entity. The microcosm is permanent, immortal. The personalities that it generates to experience life in the material world are temporary, mortal, finite.

It is the microcosm that is the individuality, not the personality.

The personality is a creation of the microcosm, sent forth into the material world to gather experience, knowledge and wisdom for the benefit of the microcosm. When the personality expires, the physical body disintegrates, the soul-bodies return to the reflection-sphere where they also dissolve, albeit more slowly, over time. At some future point (it may take hundreds of years), there will be nothing left of the personality that was you on this earth in 2017. The microcosm will have been emptied, as it were. The experiences gathered by that most recent dissolved personality will remain with the microcosm, where it will contribute to the overall advancement or deterioration of that entity. Another drop of water will be added to an ocean of water.

Understand that you are not 'separate' from all the previous personalities that have inhabited your microcosm. All of those personalities were/are you. When we say 'you', we mean the individuality, the microcosmic consciousness. It is like being an actor in a stage company. For one production, you will play Hamlet. When that production closes, you play Mary, Queen of Scots in the next. When that production closes, you will play a coal-miner from West Virginia. When that production closes, you will play a slave-owner, and so on. The stage remains the same. The roles played in each production change. All of the roles were different, but the actor behind those roles was the same individual.

The Karma that has been accumulated by the previous personalities in the microcosm automatically becomes the share of each new personality upon rebirth. Many look at the foregoing and think that it is patently unfair. "What have I done to deserve this burden? Why must I pay for what 'others' have done before me?". Why? Because you were those "others". The accumulated Karma is your microcosmic karma, generated over thousands of years of death and rebirth.

Of course, it is nearly impossible to expunge thousands of years of Karmic debt in one short human lifetime of 72 (on average) years. This is especially true when we are kept in ignorance and as a result continue to pile even more negative karma atop the heavy baggage that the microcosm already carries. This too, is seen as an injustice. But it is an injustice of our own making.

Fortunately, there is a way out. Even more fortunately, you are living in a time when the way out is being revealed to all mankind. This doesn't mean that all of mankind will accept the revelation, it simply means that the way out is being revealed so that all may have the opportunity to freely choose whether to abandon their ways and take advantage of That Which Is Being Offered.

The way out is Forgiveness. An attempt will be made to explain this in the next post.

In the interim, please take a few minutes to read the short story contained in the link to the 2015 post below. It may help to further illustrate what has just been written.
