(Prologue: I have first-hand experience of how we can change the course of our lives substantially by having more than a cursory understanding of the laws of karma. I created this weblog for the purpose of sharing this information and experience with others. May it be of benefit!)
My son lives in the north part of the city. But he likes the downtown. He just doesn’t like to pay the new, increased fare to get there. I suggest to him the he not begrudge spending money on a transit ticket. It’s literally and figuratively his “ticket to ride,” as the Beatles’ song put it.
It’s his ticket to having multiple choices of where he wants to go and what he wants to do. In other words, it’s his ticket to relative (conventional) freedom.
How about the ticket that takes us beyond the myth of freedom? For me, real freedom is to go beyond the karma we have created and constantly and unwittingly maintain by our actions.
How do we go beyond? Cut through? Change?
In short, we need to change our attitude, our perspective.
How?
