The Tao set up different methods to assure it would achieve its goals of experience, growth, and progression. The Tao uses the dual energies of yin and yang as a method to create movement and change. It also created the principle of harmony and balance as a means to create the stillness for growth and development of insight and we call this karma. In addition, there is a set up called karmic debt as a method to assure balance and accountability are part of that harmonic process. Karmic debt accumulation and paying of those debts assures not only balance, but a way for the ongoing creation of positive energies. All this plays its part to help the Tao continue to grow, change, and progress.
Karma includes both positive and negative experiences and the subtle energies created from both of these types of activities. Karmic debt is when you harm another soul either through your actions or being complicit and not doing anything to prevent this harm. Paying your karmic debt or burning karma is the process of replacing the negative energies you were made and now creating positive energies that restore and rebalance your energetic footprint in the cosmos. Paying a karmic debt is usually done in a different incarnation, but not always. Karmic debts accrue interest to encourage souls to repay them sooner rather than later. This also assures the Tao will always have more positive energies created over all the negative things done within the Tao.
After a person dies, their soul returns to the astral plane (aka heaven) and then will go through a type of debriefing process. The person (or soul) reviews the life they just completed and assesses if and how they completed their life purpose as well as the overall positive or negative impact they made in that life. In this process, their soul will acknowledge and accept responsibility for any imbalance of energy and determine what negative consequences they need to account for and correct. From this, a karmic debt (or karmic ribbon) is created and becomes attached energetically to their soul.
The debriefing process and accepting responsibilities of karmic debts may or may not be lengthy. Adolf Hitler, the German Nazi leader who created World War II, for example, is still currently immersed in his debriefing process. He needs to review and accept responsibility for each and every person he harmed. World War II, which he created, killed at least 75 million people. Add in the suffering, imprisonments, torture, abuses, and fear mongering over the entire planet means his karmic debt is quite massive.
What does karmic debt feel like? Karmic debt does not create physical pain per se, but it does create spiritual discomfort. It is like a feeling of confinement or a kind of heaviness that has been placed on the soul. It may be tolerable if it is just a few karmic threads, but when the debt becomes large, it may feel like a “wet blanket” you can never shake off. Eventually, most souls will tire of those sensations and restrictions and become motivated to reincarnate and pay off their karmic debts.
Mother Teresa, for example, in her prior incarnations, had acquired a lot of karmic debt and became tired of carrying this heavy load. Her soul then decided to plan a life completely devoted to burning off all her karmic debt and so planned a life to become a nun, with a focus on health care, and work with the poorest of the poor. She was born and eventually became Mother Teresa. This incarnation of total service paid off all those karmic debts.
Most of us, however, pay off our karmic debts little by little.We plan our repayments to be a part of our life rather than our entire life. For example, in my life, I programmed to use service in the healthcare industry (nursing) as a way to pay off some of my karmic debts. Service in health care is often a method where good deeds can be achieved. When I was around 13 years old, I knew I would have a career in the health care service industry even though there was no encouragement in this area. My parents were not interested in education nor in health care. But I knew I needed to do this. So I did. Later I learned the rationale for my choice - it was a way to pay of some of my acquired karmic debts from former incarnations.
In addition, I also felt a passion to empower women. I was very driven in this activity, almost to the point of obsession. Then one day, I woke up and the passion was gone. It was as if the air in my balloon had all been let out. Later I was made aware this passion was associated with a karmic debt I acquired in the 1600’s. In that incarnation, I was a military/political male living in Spain and had been complicit in the witch hunts and trials of the time.Because I did nothing to prevent three women from being killed for witchcraft, I acquired a karmic debt to those women. It took me 3 lifetimes to pay off this debt and when the debt was repaid, my frantic uncontrollable passion about women empowerment suddenly left. This is how a person knows the debt has been paid - that uncontrollable sensation and feeling suddenly leaves.
The Tao has set up several systems and methods to assure there is growth, change, experience, progression, and accountability. Karmic is the focus on balance. Karmic debt is a process to make sure energies get rebalanced. Burning karma is the way to assure more positive energy is created and more good works get done than what was negatively committed. All of this helps the Tao - and us - achieve our purpose and goals.
