Inspired by Bono: Karma and grace
Karma is when I stay at the level of the culture around me. Grace is when I go to a higher level.
When I do what is being done, then I am operating under the law of Karma. When I undo what is being done, then I am allowing Grace.
An example:
Someone is angry, accusatory with me. I react — I become angry, I push back, I argue. That is getting tied into the karmic knot.
Or
Someone is angry, accusatory with me. I pause — I find peace, and then I find love. I spill love into the situation. I allow Love Grace to float the episode into a new realm. I’ve snipped the karmic knot . . . and set the energy free.
