Teachings from the published works of Britain’s bestselling spiritual author, Stephen O’Brien
Question: How far is our freedom curtailed by the universal law of Karma: Cause and Effect?
Answer: Your freedom is ‘controlled’ by the law of Karma, and the essence of this truth is found in the Nazarene’s words, ‘As a man sows, so shall he reap’. We cannot ever escape the consequences of our thoughts and deeds, for we must personally account for them to the Intelligent Mind of The Creator, which lives within us.
The moment we express anger or any similar negative force, the release of this dark energy is immediately and indelibly registered within our soul bodies.
Conversely, by drawing on, and then expressing, the opposite and positive force of Love, our psychic light is considerably brightened. This Natural Law of Compensation and Retribution ensures that we cannot escape the consequences of our thoughts and
deeds, for they are all impressed on the soul.
To re-establish spiritual freedom and peace of mind, first we must pay attention to the vast battery of thought that we have disturbed within us, known as the Conscience, and second, we must make peace with any other creature we may have harmed in the course of our lives.
Karma ceases to operate only when the soul has reached an advanced stage of evolution, a time in its existence when it is capable of expressing only the pure love that comes from Creative Intelligence.
Souls who have completely broken all the chains of Karma are unlikely to be found on Earth, they are probably existing within some supernal Inner Realm of the Spirit, in a state of spiritual bliss that is far beyond our present understanding.
