Karma

Children are not always
so innocent -- I have met
some downright mean
and vicious...

made that way
or just born?

the non believer, would be
shocked to know just how
blossom-high and deeply sunk
the roots of Karma?

Earth, the medium --

Ila and I pray for all their enlightenment every day, even for the worst of the lot. And we serve humanity in whatever capacity presented to us. I believe in an eternal hell...but I do not believe that any human soul will dwell in hell for all eternity - unless that is what that soul wants. Such spiritual insanity could not exist. God would not allow it. Not enough room here for me to explain in depth -- if you can, on the internet, pick up a book "Life After Death," by Hanna Jacob Doumette -- his views are very similar to my own.

So much is obvious, yet people are trapped in Dogma instead of letting unlimited spirit speak to them and through them. But that's OK. Everyone in our nation has the Constitutional right to practice whatever religious principals one likes, as long as such expression does not infringe on the free-rights and well being of others.

You've made a point. Are people born bad. Be aware of mean parents who influence their children. Karma state that we are punished in another life for our wrongs now. I don't know. Thanks for this poem. Maybe some parents will read it, and hopefully get help for the little ones.

I can tolerate a lot...but draw the line when seeing children needlessly ridiculed and wrongly abused. Most criminal behavior, heartache can be traced back to a lack of positive parental guidance. But not all. There are some children that seem hell-bent on doing the opposite.

Karma, the law of cause and effect, to experience life after life spherically and repay debts of love we owe. On the other hand, Samskaras* (*past life tendencies) are what we carry forward, hence precocious kids. Just sharing without imposition, what I believe as true and valid.
