Prompt: How To End The Cycle Of Karmic Reincarnation

First of all, it is important to understand that there are no rules.

There is no requirement of reincarnation, and by the common understanding of karma as punishment or reward for deeds, there is no such thing as karma. If you do not want to come back in another reincarnation, you are not in any way required to.

However, if you have spent a life in judgement, unhappiness, and suffering, it is extremely likely that you yourself will choose to come back to earth for another round, to live a life that puts you in the place of another you have judged. You will choose to be born into a body, time, and place, that provides the absolute best opportunity for you to experience your judgements manifested in physical form so that you can finally let them go.

Say, as a very simplified example, someone is living this life as a male who thinks men are superior to women. He is a hiring manager, and he rarely hires women unless they look a certain way. He does not allow himself to relate to the experience of a woman and instead chooses to judge them, to see them as bodies instead of souls.

For the next incarnation, he may be born into a female body and to experience from the other side what it is like to be turned down for opportunities because of gender. It is no karmic punishment: it is the perfect opportunity for him to understand the experience on both sides of the coin and to release judgement.

However, the complication that this being may face in the female incarnation is that she may now judge the male hiring manager who turns her away, or to judge another seeming oppressor in her life. This is the endless cycle that must be broken. You must learn to forgive both the seeming oppressor and the seeming victim. You must learn to release judgement in your heart of all people and understand that they are, like you, all simply playing roles chosen by their own souls to perfectly assist in their growth and the growth of others. That is all.

There is no such thing as karmic retribution. Karma will not come back to you in twenty years or the next lifetime for a mistake you made earlier in your life while you were still learning and growing spiritually. The moment you give up judgement of yourself and of the other party is the moment your “karma”, as you believe it to be, is released.

You do NOT have to experience the pain you caused someone else. You need only release judgement. You can release every bit of it in this lifetime through forgiveness. It is the simplest thing in the world, although it may not feel easy.

It is only when you do not release your judgements that your negative actions “come back to bite you,” because you are still holding judgements in your consciousness and they will be projected into the world for you to heal. These are your lessons. If you do not release judgement, you will receive the same lessons over and over until you learn them, through this lifetime and the next.

Your own judgement of yourself and others is the only thing keeping you coming back lifetime after lifetime. It is your choice to reincarnate to expand your soul in love. That is all.

You do not have to come back, but if you hold judgements in this lifetime, you probably will. You will want to come back, even if it means experiencing pain, so that you can raise your understanding and expand your soul wildly into the adventure of love. You will be passionately driven to come back for the adventure of love. That you are here now means that you have already made this choice and your lessons in judgement and forgiveness are playing out as a perfect mirror all around you.

You do not have to come back, but if you hold judgements in this lifetime, you probably will. You will want to come back, even if it means experiencing pain, so that you can raise your understanding and expand your soul wildly into the adventure of love.

It does not have to take a full lifetime to release judgement. Your life is a physical dream before you, a physical mirror of what is in your consciousness to show you what judgements you need to release. It does not matter who you are or what your mirror is reflecting to you, and it does not matter how others may judge you. It only matters what judgements you hold in your own heart. It does not matter if you are a redneck, a princess, an entrepreneur, a fisherman, a monk, or a warlord. Every person in every position can release their karma in a moment by forgiving their judgments of themselves and others, and this will bring about dramatic changes and improvements in their lives.

Life on earth should be joyful, playful, fun, funny and loving. You do not have to wait until you die to reap the rewards of eternal love. You can have it all now, and it only costs your judgments.
