Your willingness to objectively self-analyze is refreshing!! Thank you for reading and commenting!Helen_Combe wrote: ↑03 May 2018, 16:00 Very interesting review. Karma must be a very difficult thing to accrue in a pure state. I always give money to homeless people begging in the street, thinking ‘there but for the grace of God go
I’. Yet what I’m doing is selfishly upping my karma rating for my own benefit.

It's interesting that many people want/expect karma to hurt the person that hurt them. But this retributive intent is not doing themselves any favors in the eyes of karma, either!Bianka Walter wrote: ↑03 May 2018, 16:34 Karma is definitely a word that people throw around a lot. It's interesting to see that it's a word with a lot more depth than we all think. I particularly like the three contributing factors. This sounds like a really interesting book.
Thanks for the review!

The author addresses those good feelings (raising the vibration) we receive when we are practicing selflessness or being kind. And the reverse is true, respectively You've touched on a major point Thanks for your insightscpru68 wrote: ↑03 May 2018, 19:22 I have to give the author credit for tackling such a hard to pin point subject. I do believe that our good deeds come back to bless us, but that isn’t why we do it, of course. Good deeds create good feelings in the giver, and I love that feeling! Negative feelings have a tendency to backfire so there is something to all this. Your review was well done and good for you to stick with it even if some parts were a bit dry.

How fascinating! After reading this book, I can truly understand why you say karma is a never ending subject to studySahani Nimandra wrote: ↑04 May 2018, 01:45 Haha! Karma is not something small. Sometimes even this life times is not enough to understand this concept. I have been studying karma and its reaction the vipaka for the past 13 years of my life and I can honestly say it is a never ending subject. Thank you!
