Thought for the Day

To clear karma - is to receive Informational Truths on your ascension, particular to your Holographic Blueprint. This blueprint has your mastery and ascension directions.

Lassa Oppenheim, an authority on the subject of international law explained that "There exists perhaps no conception the meaning of which is more controversial than that of sovereignty. It is an indisputable fact that this conception, from the moment when it was introduced into political science until the present day, has never had a meaning which was universally agreed upon."[1]

Word of the Day: Sovereignty

Sovereignty is the exclusive right to control a government, a country, a people, or oneself. A sovereign is the supreme lawmaking authority.

An important attribute of sovereignty is its degree of absoluteness. A sovereign power (whether an individual or an assembly such as a parliament) has absolute sovereignty if it has the unlimited right to control everything and every kind of activity in its territory. This means that it is not restricted by a constitution, by the laws of its predecessors, or by custom, and no areas of law or behaviour are reserved as being outside its control; eg. parents are not guaranteed the right to decide some matters in the upbringing of their children independently of the sovereign power, municipalities are not guaranteed freedom from its interference in some local matters, etc. Theorists have diverged over the necessity or desirability of absoluteness. Historically, it is doubtful whether a sovereign power has ever claimed complete absoluteness, let alone had the power to actually enforce it. This last point raises, in passing, the important distinction between de jure and de facto sovereignty. De jure, or legal, sovereignty is the theoretical right to exercise exclusive control over one's subjects. De facto, or actual, sovereignty is concerned with whether control in fact exists.

Liberation

But then, the yogis also say that if you want to make especially fast progress clearing Karma, you should engage in Raja Yoga, the practice of meditation. Now think about this, how does sitting on your butt, doing something we call meditation relate to being out in the world, having all these painful experiences in order to exhaust your Karma. How can I possibly clear Karma just going inside myself when Karma means the need to have certain experiences?

I didn't understand this for a long time in my personal practice, until about ten years ago. I first learned to meditate in the late '60's, but what I was doing was suppressive meditation. If a bad feeling came up, I thought I was having a bad meditation - I had no way to release it. I was finally taught that if I work with my feelings in certain ways in meditation, I will clear those feelings and make it unnecessary to attract the events to bring up the feelings - I will clear my Karma. This was a major turning point in my life, and can be for you also if you resonate with what I've been saying. This is what Emotional Clearing is all about, and what I describe in detail in the book.

I think there's a general agreement among therapists today that releasing trapped feelings is the essence of therapy. There are other purposes, of course, such as understanding and validating needs, strengthening the ego-self, building boundaries, getting the support of the therapist. But once we understand and agree that the primary purpose is to release feelings, it becomes apparent how we could do what we could call self-therapy. And when we see that life is bringing up our suppressed feelings to be released, we have a new and radical view of life. It's no longer: why is this happening to me, why can't things go right, what did I do to deserve this, or even, what did I do in some past life to deserve this, but instead, it's thank you. Thank you for showing me what I need to work on, thank you for bringing up these feelings in me, thank you for the free therapy. I'm going to use these circumstances for growth.

It's not what you did, it's not that you are being punished. It's just that you didn't release the feelings. The feelings have built up and are attracting events and people to you. These are all opportunities for growth through releasing the feelings. This is one of the reasons for life on the material plane, if not the main reason. Clearing feelings is all that's necessary, you don't have to reprogram yourself for success or goals. If you release trapped unworthiness, self-esteem is there; if you release resentment and isolation, love is there. It's just a question of releasing the feelings.
