National Karmic Debt
A nation made up of many people behaves as a person and
reflects the overall native character or lack thereof. Public
accountability demands public accounting. The karmic scales of
justice are rarely in balance, once people are factored in.
Which way are the karmic scales tilted in Iraq? Has Iraq paid
its global debt by living as a violent totalitarian state? Does
it have great blessing due? Or is its debt only half paid? Has
the United States paid all its global karmic debts in spilled
blood? Can it ever? The smart money is betting against it.
Let's start with credit itself, as it impacts nearly everyone
on the planet. The penalty for exceeding the national credit
limit will be an end to easy and cheap credit. International
credit lenders don't expect national debts to be repaid, nor do
they want them repaid. Neither do the credit happy politicians.
A credit debt is a cash cow. It costs no one anything but a
promise and a bookkeeping entry, but the account is then
maintained by paying interest that comes both from new credit
and taxes on wage and salary slaves - or earnings. It is the
last beneficiary of commerce that pays all taxes, included in
the market price of goods and services. Those who benefit
financially by maintaining national credit accounts prefer to
see increasing debt. This allows them to siphon all the profits
from the economy, great or small, if they so desire. They
usually do not, so breathe easy.
Scripture proclaims the borrower is servant to the lender. Many
of us know the truth of this from personal experience. If you
believe elected, indebted governments set policies, you don't
believe the borrower is servant to the lender, you must believe
the lender is the servant to the borrower. Please teach me how
to live in that world. Who are the top ten holders of the U.S.
national debt? They are the policy makers. They don't want their
pictures in the papers. They don't give interviews to 60
Minutes. They just have their agents talk to presidents and
lawmakers to make it clear what they want. They usually get what
they want. In this case the borrowers are not merely servants,
but puppets. When you are listening to puppets, it is wise to
read between the lines and learn the desires of the puppet
masters.
Since the national debt is a bookkeeping fraud, it does not
really matter how great it becomes and the best time to borrow
is when rates are low. It is Karmic debt we have to look at
closely. The laws of men are mockeries of the laws of nature and
the universe. Spiritual law demands justice, if it takes ten
generations. What we should concern ourselves with right now, is
which way the U.S. karmic scales are tipped and how badly. Do we
want to tilt them further and in which direction?
It seems as though the national credit debt is only the tip of
the iceberg that is owed. We can't even be certain that our
generational blood sacrifices have done anything to level the
balances. In fact, things may be worse because we have demanded
heavier blood taxes on others than we have been willing to pay
ourselves. We certainly know this blood letting has contributed
much to the credit debt. The U.S. sacrifice to Moloch certainly
tilts the karmic balances in the wrong direction.
The bad news is that we, you and me, are ultimately responsible
for everything done in our name since Europeans began settling
in North America. Iraq is just the latest debt. Think about this
for a few minutes and you should be overwhelmed about your fair
share. There are bankruptcy remedies. As Deepak Chopra declares
in the Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, in the Law of Karma, we
have options. The first of three is shut up and pay up. Take our
lumps until the balance tips in our favor. This is attractive to
no one who considers what may be owed by now. The next option is
the transformation of karma. This balances the scales by
becoming a blessing to others.
Many of us agree this option is much better than the first. We
can become this blessing individually and by joining our efforts
to organizations that clearly are blessing others or have a good
plan of intention to do so. Charities, peace groups, social
justice associations, environmentalists. The drawback is the
best intentions coupled with near universal ignorance, often
turn out worse than dedicated evil doing. To transform karma, we
had better see the outcome from the intent. Mistakes can further
imbalance the scales.
The third option is karmic transcendence. We become so unified
with God or life force, the karmic ledger is expunged of our
debt. My guess is that this would require some critical mass as
a percentage of the U.S. population, seeking spiritual unity or
the ultimate one party political ideal. This option is the most
attractive. It is actually the easiest of all to do, which
conforms to the Law of Least Effort. The drawback is reaching
that critical mass and there are presently people working hard
to achieve this very transcendence. In the meantime, we will
take our lumps, accept our punishments, knowing we are worthy of
them, which is some comfort. We will transform a lot of our
karma by actually doing the good we intend. In just over twenty
years, we will transcend all our remaining karma. Those twenty
years will not be easy or pretty, but don't you feel better
about what used to be our overwhelming debts?
