Has Karmic Justice started already?
Many here on DU have been talking about Karmic justice. Well, has it started already?

Rush Limbaugh is hanging himself with his own rope.

Not enough spin on the planet to spin these pix out of Iraq - especially when the more damning ones leak out (which you KNOW they will)

The secrecy of this administration is going to be its undoing. Trust me. Once leaks start, you can't plug it up again. The information dam is starting to break folks. I really believe it.

1. Karmic justice?
Better not count on it. Horrid people can live wonderful lives. The universe isn't interested in justice.

5. yeah, I've seen that too. . .
but I do believe thoroughly in karma. Though when I see total sociopaths excelling whilst leaving massive carnage in their wakes, I've come to the conclusion that the hingepoint of negativity returning to it's source is guilt. If a person deceives themself into believing that that are not culpable for their actions, they might just be pushing the backlash into a future life.

That's why you see so many seemingly gentle souls getting slammed with horrors and tragedies that seem totally unrelated to their current behaviors. I have faith that the universe is just. . .over the greater span of time and lifetimes.

3. Here is a Karmic Experiment that I have posted from time to time.....
:)

KARMIC EXPERIMENT #3

Further instruction is as follows: This exercise is an effort to expand honesty,
openness, sincerity, clarity, and truth. We will meditate on a mental tableau that will
strengthen and assist the Karmic forces that are independent of us all. Our purpose is
to promote the good, not to punish the evil. Karma works in its own way.

These are only words that are symbolic of actions that are beneficial to good Karma.
Thoughts are only words that precede all actions and Karma is the result of the actions
themselves. With our words, we wish to create thoughts. With our thoughts, we wish
to create actions. With our actions, we create Karma - whether we wish or not.

The first step is to imagine yourself at your favorite lake and the waters are very still.
It is a warm day and there is no wind. The sky is blue with several large white
thunderhead clouds above. They are reflected perfectly in the still waters of the lake.

You have five pebbles, one for yourself and one for each of your four friends. You
stand at the edge of the lake. It is very quiet. You pitch the first pebble underhanded
out into the lake. Ripples flow from the impact and the perfect reflection is disturbed
from the small waves created by the pebble. After about a minute, all is still once
again.

You pitch the second pebble and meditate on the ripples as they come closer to you.
For just a moment, the sun glistens upon the water. You squint your eyes.

You pitch the third pebble and you reflect upon the beauty of nature. The reflection in
the water transforms into another reality. The water ripples to the edge of the bank
before it finally settles and returns to a level and tranquil canvas of nature.

You think of your friends as you pitch the fourth pebble into the deep. You hear the
pebble hit the water and you see the water jump at impact. You watch the ripples race
each other until they finally disappear into stillness.

You look at the perfect reflection that lies before you as you hold the last pebble in
your hand. In an instant it is gone, as you pitch it high and far out into the lake. In the
middle of the lake, you see a large fish jump out of the water and you see the small
waves as they ripple outward in concentric circles. After a couple of minutes, the
waves are lapping the shoreline. As you turn to walk away, you feel a slight breeze
upon your forehead. You sense that something has changed.

4. Karma has nothing to do with justice.
It is more like inertia, action leading to more action.
But, you may be sure that karma is at work now.
