Oxymoronic Principles of Karma
Payback’s a bitch — and a bitch of a headache besides
Ted Czukor posted a cogent exposition of two interrelated but distinct concepts: forgiveness and Karma.
Karma and Forgiveness Are Two Separate Things | by Ted Czukor | Aug, 2023 | Medium
Ted concludes the piece with a frank acknowledgment that he finds the premise of Karmic debt disturbing, given its implication that lives rife with suffering have been justly incurred.
I’m with you, Ted.
On the flipside, it’s a moral outrage that Hitler would be granted forgiveness and afforded opportunities to pay off his Karmic debt via countless human incarnations.
It appalls me to contemplate such a monster reborn in the guise of an innocent infant. His vile soul deserves extinction, if not eternal torment.
Moreover, there’s an inherent paradox as to the purpose of reincarnation.
Conceptually — as touted in all spiritual doctrine, principles of Karma included — eternity is not “forever,” but rather, “outside of time.”
In this framework, our past, present, and future lives exist simultaneously — in which event it makes no sense that we must reincarnate to atone for sins of our “prior” lives.
Numerous people privy to revelations from “spiritual beings” during near-death sojourns have been bequeathed the mutually exclusive truths as to sequential incarnations amidst timelessness.
I cannot fathom why — upon the return of their enlightened souls to the earthly realm — their mortal minds don’t implode consequential to cognitive dissonance.
