Darkside law runs the world, not the law of karma! 3

From the links cited in my last post (here), most of the Upanishads came from unknown sources. The Brahmins and modern Hindu scholars elevate the bonafides of those texts by saying that they came from a source beyond man i.e they were inspired by God. Whether the authors are known or unknown, the holy-book-writers are generally referred to as 'saints' and 'sages'. The oldest Upanishads are about 3,000 years old. Initially, the word 'karma' referred to the rituals performed by the Brahman priests but the usage of the word expanded to mean all actions. Over time, 'karma' evolved into the 'law of karma' which explains the lives of human beings as being shaped by the consequences of past-life actions and present-life actions. Good fruits, they said, result from good actions, while bad fruits result from bad actions. Over time, Hindus grew to accept this, though with variations among the various Hindu sects. Now, the world seems to accept the law of karma. The Brahmins have devised rituals and other strategies for escaping bad karmic fruits, and for promoting good life-experiences. For example, the Brahmins created Gods you could worship for help for different problems in life, and for help in gaining Liberation or Mukti. Hanuman is said to give protection and courage, while Ganesha gives knowledge and removes obstacles. Shiva, Vishnu, Brahma. Rama, Krishna and the Goddesses all have their blessings to give on being properly worshiped or propitiated. Indian astrology, numerology and palmistry aligns with the law of karma in interpreting present life setbacks by reference to their own knowledge-concoctions, and to past life karmas. They recommend rituals and other changes (eg tantras or talismans) as methods of remediation. Hinduism insists that karma can be edited/changed, whether its fruits derive from past lives or the present life. The Caste System is the social structure which hinduism invented, and in which it operates. The justification for the Caste System has been that it allocates humans into castes based on their 'gunas' or innate qualities.The Brahmins at the top are 'pure' while the military commanders/rulers are rajasic or less pure. The Vaishyas (merchants) and the rest of society are considered 'impure', hence the lowest classes. Past life karma determines which caste you are born into. Specialisation according to occupation also justifies the ordering of the castes. Hinduism prescribes different kinds of Yogas and rituals for the different castes for obtaining salvation, though the Brahmin-inspired ideal of renouncing the world and becoming 'Sannyasins' or mendicants has found popularity among peoples not having much to renounce.

Regardless of the origins of the law of karma, one has to evaluate it logically. The Ancients had no idea of logic or the scientific method. They were primitive people though Hinduism portrays them as spiritual geniuses. Hinduism has offered no evidence over the centuries that the law actually works. There are no samples of human populations studied. There are no observations, inferences and conclusions that would convince modern-day people. The Law of Karma, like other aspects of the religion, had to be accepted on the alleged authority of the Brahmins alone, and not because it was found to be true. There was no choice since the brahmins were in charge, and they were supported by the rulers. The modern propagators of the law of karma should know that the people of the present are way more literate than those in pre-literate India, wherefrom this law came. They should know that intelligent people won't believe anything just because the uppermost caste (the Brahmins) says so. They are holier than nobody else, even though they purport to be intermediaries between man and God. They propagate the saying that the saints and sages were INSPIRED, in order to justify their leadership status. As a Hindu, you are supposed to accept this law with blind faith, accept that the Law Of Karma was installed by God as the mechanism for ordering earth's populations, and bow to God's rulership. No doubt, millions of poor Hindus have been kicking themselves for being bad in their past lives, and flocking to Hindu priestcraft for help with methods for overturning the destinies of suffering laid out for them by alleged bad actions in past lives, and by the malefic planets. No doubt, they had misgivings about this law, but these were usually shelved whenever the latest Hindu emissary asserted that the Law is perfectly correct, and that it was fully operational. The lower castes questioned the preponderance of bad happenings in their lives but were no doubt placated with the retort that this is the Age of Kali. Of course,the subservient lower castes acquiesced to the power of the upper castes in the face of their high-handedness and power, and not because they believed that the latter had an alleged surplus of good upper-caste karma. It is as if Brahmin priests were covering up for Brahmin-supported rulers by putting God as the cause of material wealth and material poverty, and not the ruling class themselves!

Basically, Hindus say that you are born in a certain family in a certain environment because of your past karma. In this situation, you will be able to work out past karmas in terms of rewards, suffering and opportunities for spiritual growth. While alive you will commit karma by doing, inaction, intentions and by modes of thinking ie positive or negative. Their theory of present existence and future reincarnation is based on karma, and they say that the kind of life you are having now can only be explained in terms of past karma, and by new karma made in this life. Future lives will be explained the same way. But because life is full of suffering, the big enemy is the cycle of births and deaths, and it is karma which binds you to it. To escape it, one has to reduce one's karma, and there is no better way to reduce it than by dedicating the actions or its fruits to God, or by doing action in a state of surrender to God. One can also do karmas that target Moksha or salvation and so 'spiritualise' one's actions so they can become not-binding. This 'spiritualising' of one's life is taken to extremes in Hinduism. They give practices/rituals for every hour, for every day, for every week, for every month, and for every year of this life. Every activity has a prescribed ritual. And they give rituals to be performed by relatives for you at death, and in the years after your death. Being the performers of major rituals, the Brahmins made for themselves a necessary role in your life, even after you are dead!

So Hinduism says that in this life, you reap the fruits of the karmas you did in your past life, and the fruits of karmas done in this life. It says that it is impossible not to do karma, and until all karmas, good and bad, are expired, you cannot gain salvation, which is your only escape from the cycle of births and deaths. Basically, the Brahmins are saying blame yourself if you are reaping good or bad karma.You did it to yourself. If you did nothing in this life to reap bad things (or good things), you must have done it in your past life. While the upper castes reveled in this justification for their wealth and power, the majority who were poor and suffering had no reason to rejoice. Throughout history, rulers have increased their wealth by conquering weaker tribes and kingdoms. This is being done now! The lower castes benefited least from these exploits because it was the Kshatriya or military caste which took part in these forays, and took the spoils of war. So, it was war not past or present good karma which made the upper classes wealthy. The Brahmins 'law of karma' hid the fact that there was little or no economic trickle-down to the lower castes from the upper castes. The rulers seemed to disavow any responsibility for them. The Brahmins also implied that the lower castes had failed in this life because they had not done any present good deeds for which good fruits were currently due. Suffering Indians with no prospects must have lived in a state of complete suppression. Imprisoned by the caste system, socio-economic mobility was impossible for the lower classes. Even today, with nothing or no-one to turn to, in many cases, there is no choice but to resort to sorcery, suicide, menial jobs, corruption, prostitution, crime, homelessness, female infanticide and other ways of coping. For many, the choice was to either be hopeless or worship God along the lines indicated by the Brahmins to attract God's blessings. Were it not for the coming of post-colonial Governments and the rise of development economics, India would have been stuck with Brahmin religious analysis, and not be able to move forward past that into things like the Green Revolution, Industrialisation and Technological development. The Indian Government accepted the responsibility for the development of the people (allbeit pervaded by favoritism): a task disowned by the previous millenia of rulers who prospered mostly by war but told the lower castes to blame themselves for their poverty. The truth is that the Brahmins lied. You are not the cause of your condition in this life because you are born in a matrix which is already owned and administered by others. The present economic status of any man has nothing to do with his past life. Nobody knows why a soul incarnates in a particular womb, in a particular family, and in a particular place. It is not good karma that causes birth in a rich family because the alleged 'goodness' that underlies 'good' karma is absolutely missing from the lives of the rich.

Religion uses psychological manipulation. What the religious bigwigs do is put people down by accusing them of original sin, of being fooled/seduced by MAYA, of not doing spiritual practice (whether it is rituals, worship, devotion, Yoga etc), and for having desires. You are programmed to accept a tarnished self-image, then you struggle to achieve that ideal image they claim is what you should be like. They want you to subscribe to their views of God, and to strive to be close to him using methodologies laid down by them. So even though they tell you that you are a spark of God with the qualities of Satchitananda (Knowledge, awareness and bliss), they insist that MAYA and bad karma has stolen this away. Then they tell you that you have to do worship/devotion, rituals and other spiritual practices to recover your soul status or connection with God, but give you no clues as to how to restore your Satchitananda qualities directly. If you do your religious duties but get no fruits, they say you're doing them imperfectly, or you do not have God's blessings, or any good luck. Of course, they advise that to get salvation, you must do action without attachment to the fruits because you have no control over the fruits. You should also dedicate it all to God. Millenia of worship and rituals have proved those methodologies to be barren. As the advice, so the results. The religious bigwigs give themselves their authority (God gave them no authority) by claims of purity. They used this claim to fabricate knowledge and program people with it, as if this is the knowledge God wants us to have. We cannot evade them because they are the upper class, colluding with the rulers. Are their various faulty diagnoses deliberate or just wild guesses? The ancient Brahmins did not bother to separate desires from needs and wants, like economics has done. They erred in making you feel that to need something is to desire it. The conclusion obviously is that needs are wrong. Human needs are must-have items, not simply desires to be controlled and curbed. Belief in, and faith in God, however, does give people hope. The feeling of having the most powerful being in the universe in your corner does give you hope and confidence. The deception lies in what you must do to attract God's help, and in the things they claim God does for people. The deception is that they hid the existence of the dark side within. They gave you nothing to fight it with since their methodologies cannot do this. So, you Satchitananda nature remains covered up by darkside consciousness. They hid the fact that the rulers have charge of the material condition of the ruled, not God. They hid the fact that the rulers felt no economic responsibility for the lower castes! How can God be the cause of material benefits, either directly or through any law he created to administer to man's material condition? God had no access to the ruler's coffers, the equivalent of the central banks of today.

There are many problems with the Hindu version of karma. It tells you that thoughts and intentions produce karma. Who produces thoughts and intentions within? It can either be the soul or the dark side. Yogis accept that it is the 'mind' that is noisy, and needs to be quieted down. That 'mind' is actually the dark side within. So who actually gets awarded the karma? Is it the soul or the dark side? Or, is it the non-existent 'one-being-in-a-body' entity that religion helped create and popularise? It must be the dark side since it produces those 'noises' that one calls thoughts, not the soul. The soul does 'thinking' too! Usually, there is some structure to that thinking in the form of inductive or deductive logic. The soul is deliberate in its thinking or introspection. Soul's thoughts do not happen, neither do they 'pester' it. There is a conscious decision to think. There is concentration, a certain level of transcendence of the physical, and perhaps a flow of information that is inspiration or intuition. There is a thread of logic that ends in conclusions. This is the essence of meditative introspection. Is it soul's 'thinking' that creates karma that is binding? How does one work out knowledge? Why then, did God give a brain for soul's use? If the intention is data processing, understanding something or simply decision-making, how could soul's thoughts be put in a negative light? Considering that it is the dark side which uses cunning to plot and prey, and thoughts are used to hoodwink the soul, the bad karmas belong to it. Evil is its nature. Will it be punished? How? The one-being-in-a-body does not exist, and so cannot produce any karma or reap any fruits, good or bad. So, even the self-images of past-life-sinner or seperated-from-God are lies. The problem with religion and its fabricated knowledge and laws is that when they are applied they are found to be barren lies, and they lead people who observe them to waste their lives. The desire for the fruit of one's actions is said to be 'binding' you to the wheel of births and deaths. So you are supposed to do actions but have a 'don't-care' attitude about the fruits. So why do things on earth if not for the fruits? Is eating for the fruit of health wrong? Is working for wages to provide for your needs, and that of your family, wrong? This concocted religious paradigm is basically telling the masses that you are sinking deeper by doing the right thing!

Then they invent nonsense like having equanimity in the face of opposites, eg heat and cold. Man was put here to take care of his body, among other things. If it's too hot, your body conveys this to you. Since you cannot produce cooling from within, you get a fan or an air conditioner. If it is cold, you get a heater or other heat source. You have to adapt for survival, not produce equanimity of mind. The human body tolerates a range of temperatures, beyond which continued exposure gives death. So what equanimity must one have in the face of the opposites of heat and cold? What about the opposites of poverty and wealth? What balance or equanimity is possible when your brain cells are starving for nutrition? The primitive people who wrote these things into the lyrics of Krishna did not understand the crisis condition of human poverty, and thought that it was simply the opposite of wealth, and should be mentally balanced out! The Gita speaks of action but Krishna fails to attribute bad actions to the dark side within and righteous action to the soul. Here is one translation of a key verse from the Bhagavad Gita: 'You have a right to perform your prescribed duties, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions. Never consider yourself to be the cause of the results of your activities, nor be attached to inaction'. Today, there are so many actions that are done in which the fruits/outcomes are known, assured or expected, and if there are no fruits to come, the action simply won't be done. The soul is already detached. That is it's nature. The dark side it is which is helplessly attached. That is it's nature. Do they want the soul to ignore the body and its needs? Wouldn't it be more to the point to say that souls should pursue those fruits which knowledge says is good for it, and not pursue those fruits which are detrimental to itself or its body? As for the darkside, they are constantly seeking fruits and know how to prey and collude to get them. No teaching that is non-predatory makes sense to them. The writer of the Mahabharat was not a live witness or note-taker at the exposition of the Bhagavad Gita. He claimed divine vision and inspiration. It is strange how the God Krishna believes in the 'one-being-in-a-body' theory, and delivers all his enlightenment on the science of action for Salvation to that mythical being, taking the form of Arjuna. Would a God not know how he structured his creation?

The writer of the Bhagavad Gita clearly did not understand how actions on earth are 'causes' that produce fruits or consequences. The darksiders care for fruits, but do not care how they are obtained, or who they hurt. The good or soul people do actions but keep monitoring its' unfolding to ensure that no untoward consequences arise. Humans do agriculture for the produce that never fails to come, once the requirements for growth are met. Humans don't cultivate unless produce is expected! People work for wages, have sex for pleasure and children, travel to get from one place to another, eat for the nutrition that food contains, drink alcohol and use drugs to get high, shop for merchandise etc etc. In this world, fruits are assured for every action. These fruits are wanted or desired, and come without fail with intelligent action. The Gita says that the doer is not entitled to the fruits or has no control over the fruits. This is not true of our world. Living life here is not like gambling in which there is no surety about getting the fruits when the appropriate action is done. It is not like doing everything right for a desired goal and for some reason or another it fails to arrive. Why present consequences or effects in such an 'iffy' light? Is it to keep maintaining the mirage that God is in the fruit-giving business? Maybe they were covering up for the real scenario at the time: that the upper castes were the first choice for receiving fruits, and if there were no fruits left over, the lower castes had to do without any! No trickledown! Were they trying to say that your fruits could be snatched away by the darkside society (as is done now), even when intelligent logical action is properly executed? The teachings on karma from the Bhagavad Gita are useless to human beings in the present time, if at all. Medicines are taken so that one recovers from illness, or in order to prevent it. Food is eaten to maintain the health of the body. What is actually at work is the law of cause and effect, which is not the Hindu law of karma but actually the methodology of science and logic. Brahmin theories pushed on people as knowledge is based on authority not factual logic. Today you expect the fruits of action to accrue unless someone intercepts it, thereby preventing you from getting it. This is called stealing, and law enforcement deals with the culprits. In cases of gambling, risky investments, improper planning and plan execution, unforeseen or unexpected occurrences, the fruits anticipated may not forthcoming. Human beings in the 21st century know what risky actions and what safe actions are.

Hindu scholars, saints and sages lied while composing their tomes but pretended God-inspiration. Does past karma really determine the circumstances of one's birth? There is no evidence for that. Building a religion based on cumulative lies from the past does not obviate the proof requirement. No one really knows which souls come into which wombs, and why a particular womb is chosen by a soul, if it has a choice. Karma is a very neat explanation, but unless there are time travelers, there is no way of proving that it is true. It is a fabrication that pretends to be verified knowledge. The world has over 7 billion people. Are they being reincarnated according to past karma or are they newly incarnating souls? When were they last incarnated? Astrology gives convenient answers to support the past karma paradigm, but it is not truth. If there are new incarnations without past lives, how are they allocated to wombs? The Law of Karma is just a convenient truth for the benefit of the well-to-do or ruling families, who get to claim that they really did good deeds in their past lives. All the dynastic misdeeds in the accumulation of material plenty over the centuries remain swept under the carpet. Using the law of karma, elite superiority is not only monetary but spiritual as well! But people are not fooled since if you examine the spirituality of the wealthy, you will find a lot of public relations (Yajnas, feeding the poor etc) but very little that indicates that those are soul people and not darksiders! In fact, our rulers appear to be devoid of wisdom and virtue! The womb selection process, as already stated, is still unknown,despite what religion may say. People born into wealthy families are deliberately trained in elite culture. They receive the training for continuing the bloodline, and they acquire the family methodology and know-how for preserving the dynastic wealth, while extending it. Such people turn out to be very materialistic and lacking in human virtues. British India had the beginnings of a more fluid caste system, as education and business gave a way out of the limitations of caste. Not too long ago, the Corporations outsourced to India. Money is going to those who used education and training to get a niche in the expanding capitalist system. It is cause and effect being played out, with action in the face of opportunity bearing fruit. And, there is nothing wrong with seeking or expecting fruit which increases your chance of survival. In helping others to survive, the fruits come without asking: the joy comes in the helping, and in seeing a lessening of suffering. Doing good is a blow to your dark side because you deprive it of an opportunity to do evil.

Darkside law runs this world, not the law of karma. 2

THOSE WHO EXPECTED A CONTINUATION OF THE POST ON "Is it all really lost..." WILL GET THOSE WHEN THIS TOPIC IS COMPLETED. THE DRAFTS ARE COMPLETE. IT APPEARS THAT 2018 WILL BRING FULL WAR. PREPARE AS BEST YOU CAN.

First usage of the term Law Of Karma was in the Upanishads.

"But the oldest explicit mentions of the Law of Karma are from the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, which is one of the oldest Upanishads because it is actually part of the Shatapatha Brahmana of the Yajur Veda.

Here is what Part 3, Chapter 12, Adhyaya 13 of the Brihadaranyaka Upanishads says (Nikhilananda's translation):

Then [sage Yajnavalkya and his student] went out and deliberated, and what they talked about was karma (work), and what they praised was karma: one becomes good through good karma and evil through evil karma.

Part 4, Chapter 4, Adhyaya 5 contains a similar statement:

According as [the self] acts and according as it behaves, so it becomes: by doing good it becomes good, and by doing evil it becomes evil. It becomes virtuous through virtuous action, and evil through evil action.... As is its desire, so is its resolution; and as is its resolution, so is its deed; and whatever deed it does, that it reaps." (source}

The authorship of the Upanishads.

"The authorship of most Upanishads is uncertain and unknown. Radhakrishnan states, "almost all the early literature of India was anonymous, we do not know the names of the authors of the Upanishads".^[35] The ancient Upanishads are embedded in the Vedas, the oldest of Hinduism's religious scriptures, which some traditionally consider to be apauruṣeya, which means "not of a man, superhuman"^[36] and "impersonal, authorless".^[37][38][39] The Vedic texts themselves assert that they were skillfully created by Rishis (sages), after inspired creativity, just as a carpenter builds a chariot.^[40]

The various philosophical theories in the early Upanishads have been attributed to famous sages such as Yajnavalkya, Uddalaka Aruni, Shvetaketu, Shandilya, Aitareya, Balaki, Pippalada, and Sanatkumara.^[35][41] Women, such as Maitreyi and Gargi participate in the dialogues and are also credited in the early Upanishads.^[42]

There are exceptions to the anonymous tradition of the Upanishads and other Vedic literature. The Shvetashvatara Upanishad, for example, includes closing credits to sage Shvetashvatara, and he is considered the author of the Upanishad.^[43] Scholars believe that early Upanishads, were interpolated^[44] and expanded over time, because of the differences within manuscripts of the same Upanishad discovered in different parts of South Asia, differences in non-Sanskrit version of the texts that have survived, and differences within each text in terms of the meter,^[45] the style, the grammar and the structure.^[46][47] The texts as they exist now are believed to be the work of many authors.^{[48]" (source)}

When were the Upanishads written?

"Scholars are uncertain about the exact centuries in which the Upanishads were composed.^[49] The chronology of the early Upanishads is difficult to resolve, states philosopher and Sanskritist Stephen Phillips,^[13] because all opinions rest on scanty evidence and analysis of archaism, style and repetitions across texts, and are driven by assumptions about likely evolution of ideas, and presumptions about which philosophy might have influenced which other Indian philosophies. Indologist Patrick Olivelle says that "in spite of claims made by some, in reality, any dating of these documents [early Upanishads] that attempts a precision closer than a few centuries is as stable as a house of cards".^[16] Some scholars have sought to analyse similarities between Hindu Upanishads and Buddhist literature to establish chronology for the Upanishads.^[17]

Patrick Olivelle gives the following chronology for the early Upanishads, also called the Principal Upanishads:^[49][16]

• The Brhadaranyaka and the Chandogya are the two earliest Upanishads. They are edited texts, some of whose sources are much older than others. The two texts are pre-Buddhist; they may be placed in the 7th to 6th centuries BCE, give or take a century or so.^[50][17]
• The three other early prose Upanisads—Taittiriya, Aitareya, and Kausitaki come next; all are probably pre-Buddhist and can be assigned to the 6th to 5th centuries BCE.
• The Kena is the oldest of the verse Upanisads followed by probably the Katha, Isa, Svetasvatara, and Mundaka. All these Upanisads were composed probably in the last few centuries BCE.^[51]
• The two late prose Upanisads, the Prasna and the Mandukya, cannot be much older than the beginning of the common era.^[49][16]

Stephen Phillips places the early Upanishads in the 800 to 300 BCE range. He summarizes the current Indological opinion to be that the Brhadaranyaka, Chandogya, Isha, Taittiriya, Aitareya, Kena, Katha, Mundaka, and Prasna Upanishads are all pre-Buddhist and pre-Jain, while Svetasvatara and Mandukya overlap with the earliest Buddhist and Jain literature.^[13]

The later Upanishads numbering about 95, also called minor Upanishads, are dated from the late 1st-millennium BCE to mid 2nd-millennium CE.^[18] Gavin Flood dates many of the twenty Yoga Upanishads to be probably from the 100 BCE to 300 CE period.^[19] Patrick Olivelle and other scholars date seven of the twenty Sannyasa Upanishads to likely have been complete sometime between the last centuries of the 1st-millennium BCE to 300 CE.^[18] About half of the Sannyasa Upanishads were likely composed in 14th- to 15th-century CE.^[18]" (source)

The Buddhists/Hindus have gone deepest into the law of karma, applying it throughout life and death. Wikipedia also has a good background to karma and karmic law according to various Hindu sects. Here is a pro-Karmic-Theory discussion. Here is a blog post that refutes Karmic Theory. This is how the Theosophical Society evaluated Karmic Law many years ago.. Here is a Buddhist commentary on the Law Of Karma. Read this excellent article on the evolution of the law of karma.

 This site expounds on the Hindu teachings regarding karma. It is necessary to present what they say, then critique it. These extracts from the article explain karmic law and how they say it works.

 "The main difference between the eastern and western religions is that in Islam and Christianity you commit sin against the law of God, where as in Hinduism and related religions, you commit sin against yourself by your own actions". 

"The law of karma is very much verifiable in real life. We all have seen in our own lives, and in nature too, that we reap what we sow. Our successes and failures are mostly products of our own thoughts and actions. If we think positively and act positively, very likely we will succeed. On the contrary if we think and act negatively, very likely we will bring negativity and suffering upon ourselves. Sometimes in spite of all the good work and sincere intentions, we may reap negative consequences. A student may prepare well for his exam, but may fail. A very evil and wicked person may earn the jackpot or become owner of a successful business venture. The theory of karma has a convincing explanation such situations. The current events in our lives need not necessarily be determined by our previous actions in this very life, but also by the actions we did in our previous lives. This explains why sometimes there is a disconnect between our actions and consequences, why bad people often seem to enjoy success and prosperity, while good people seem to suffer despite their best actions and intentions".   

 "Our successes and failures are mostly products of our own thoughts and actions. If we think positively and act positively, very likely we will succeed.On the contrary if we think and act negatively, very likely we will bring negativity and suffering upon ourselves"

 "..... (the law of karma) is a self-correcting mechanism, that it binds beings to the cycle of births and deaths, that it is caused by desires and the activities of the senses, that it is responsible for the evolution of beings from one stage to another and that it is possible to reverse the bondage caused by law of karma through various means".

"The traditional view of Hinduism has been that karma is a body of obligatory duties, rites and rituals, we are expected to perform as a part of our social, moral, family and personal responsibilities."

• Nitya karma. These are the daily sacrifices, such as the morning, afternoon and evening prayers and the five kinds of sacrificial offering of food (ahuta, huta, prahuta, bali, brahmayuta, prasita). Technically, whatever duties that we are supposed to perform as human beings, come under this category such as bathing, eating, praying, sleeping and so on.
• Naimittika karma. These are the duties that are to be performed on specific occasions, such as festivals, solar and lunar eclipses, the various samskaras such as upanayana, marriage, funeral rites and so on.
• Kamyakarma. These are the optional duties that we perform in order to realize a particular goal or wish, such as going to a pilgrimage, educating one's children, buying some property, performing a sacrificial rite wishing to attain heavenly life and so on.

"Of these, the first two are obligatory in the sense that if we do not perform them we will incur sin. The third one is optional, that is there is no harm in neglecting them, but there can be some merit if we decide to pursue them in a right manner."

"Since no human being can escape the law of karma, it leaves us with anxiety, especially when we know that we cannot live without performing actions and our actions would result in consequences for ourselves and our future. When we know that the consequences of our actions may go beyond this life, we become even more concerned as we are not even sure how they are going to effect our future." 

"......we can reverse the consequences of our actions through the grace and intervention of God." 

After going through the various types of Yoga as a means of purifying action, exhausting karma and achieving God-realization, they conclude as follows: "Awareness of the law of karma is an important step in the religious life of any individual. Karma is responsible for our becoming and being. Our problems of existence and the law of karma becomes active only when we enter into the state of beingness. Through karma we perpetuate this state of beingness and create our own future existence. Karma is supposed to be a corrective mechanism, meant to refine us gradually through our own actions, but since we are not perfect masters, we do it rather clumsily, like blind people trying to carve a statue out of a stone. When we realize that our thoughts, intentions and actions lead to our bondage and suffering, we become more responsible in what we do and how we live. We aim to lead divine centered lives, in which our main objective would be to free ourselves from the consequences of our own actions, without escaping from our duties and responsibilities. The murma (secret) of karma (action) is to consecrate both our actions and their fruit to our personal God and cultivate purity (sattva), devotion (bhakti), equanimity and other divine qualities enumerated in the Bhagavadgita to become qualified for our liberation. The law of karma makes it abundantly clear that the solution to our liberation lies in our hands and how we go about it is left to ourselves." 

The above exposition is just gross disinformation, or lies. Before I examine what they wrote, you must divest yourself of certain religious traits like 'blind faith' and 'surrender'. These are obstacles to the awakening process in which the only guideline really is.....QUESTION EVERYTHING! You just cannot innocently believe anymore. That is a weakness which is dutifully exploited by predators, religionists and politicians alike. Religion is a virus! Religion is guilty of programming human computers with malware or fake paradigms which cause 'people' to waste their lives in barren activities. Your attention is diverted into blind alleys while the real causes of your misfortunes and other experiences in life go unexamined. The people do all to get in God's good books, and then blame him, not the rulers, when things fall apart. People do not benefit spiritually from them because their knowledge-seeking capacity has been blocked or seriously compromised. The only way out of this barren state is to climb out of it and launch into an awakened state. One has to dump the theories and practices of religion, free up your brain-computer and  free up your time. To do so one has to overcome the fear of betraying God and fear of the unknown. One has to also get rid of the urge to hang on to 'crutches' as one walks through life's environments and interactions. You have to create your own anti-virus and malware remover from the truths you know, or will know when you pursue it. Every bit of truth you discover removes a bit of malware within you. The more truth you discover, the more malware is removed. There is no higher pursuit in life than to remove all the malwares in your consciousness, so you, the soul, can get the fresh eyes to discover the ingredients required to take full charge of your body and your life. If you don't travel in this direction then you are traveling in directions dictated by your programmers and mind controllers. The time spent on prayer, worship, rituals and certain spiritual practices is the time that should be spent on ferreting out the truth from all possible search sources. This is what research is. Research is enquiry into the truth of the 'matrix' you live in. Research alone can give you an insight into 'what is' and 'what can be'.

Meditation cannot give you a flow of knowledge on a subject if you don't have the required basic knowledge on that subject. Meditation programs turn out to be barren exercises because of the accent on feeling good by stress relief and because its practitioners not being interested in acquiring knowledge by research. Any soul-centering exercise will energise the consciousness and produce harmony. Workers who concentrate notice this, and notice how quickly the time flies! The consciousness leaves its add-ons and extensions, which dilute its essence, and dwells on itself. Yet, that is just the beginning of the meditation highway. Meditation is the doorway to downloading knowledge from a source or dimension that has it, whether this be the Causal world of ideas, the Supersoul or God. Knowing the subject-matter of the field which you are going to meditate on is a pre-requisite. Non-knowledge meditation cannot be expected to result in a flow of ideas. But, it has its uses! Meditation by darksiders is nothing more than mental entertainment, complete with the hallucinations called 'astral travel'. Darksiders also say that they are meditating when their 'mental gazing' or 'eyeball-reading' involves live feeds from the collective darkside or satan. I have called this 'eyeball-reading' because the darkside/bacteria combo in the eyeballs transmit satan's 'inspiration'. Research on how to take care of the body is a good starting point for research. This knowledge, when practicalised, will give you the extra years you need to live as a soul, and to discover the maximum truth. You will learn how to defeat the biggest trojan/malware in your body: the darkside/ bacteria combination. This self-discovery is a necessary beginning in living life as a soul. The effect of fully becoming the soul can only be obtained if the causes of not being the soul are dealt with. This means fighting back against the dark side within and outside. They are both the same! There is no law of karma in operation which helps you or victimises you. You live in a world wherein darkside predators rule by force and deception. You live among darkside predators of different genders and potencies. What is called 'Civilisation' is just the evil vs good war with a modern flavor.

Darkside law runs this world, not the law of karma. 1

Religion has said that a law of karma exists. They say that the world is ordered by the law of karma which gives like fruits for like action. While Christians focus only on the present life and disavow the existence of reincarnation, the Hindus insist that reincarnation is fact and that the past life determines the present environment of birth, as well as some of the fruits reaped. The law of karma exists and operates only in the minds of its creators and propagators. This world is upside down (part 2 here). It is evil people who run the world, whether they are the elites or the darkside society. They are not reaping the fruits of past good deeds, whether arising in this life or the past life. The fruits they enjoy derive from the fact that they have seized control of earth's many bounties. They control the distribution of the fruits on earth because they have the power and wealth to force things to be in their favor, and as they wish. They have contrived systems that people must live by, and they hold the best cards or possess the comparative advantage. The distribution of the fruits of action or inaction has no relationship to one's past karma or to one's present deservedness. One gets abundant fruits if one is born into a principal bloodline or ruling family,  Others get fruits by association or linkage with these elites. One can get fruits by virtue of inheritance or by being able to access a niche within the systems of the elites or of the darkside society. Having fruits is crucial to continued life. The poor are poor because they have no niches in the systems of the world to use for obtaining fruits. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer! Religion explains the poor as having no good past karma or as being lazy. Hinduism goes further and accuses the poor of having having bad planetary aspects and configurations. Of course, Hindu pundits make themselves necessary to the lives of the faithful because of their alleged efficacy in correcting negative planetary effects using prayers, rites and rituals. But, it is all fakery. The leading bloodlines, castes, tribes or colors in society take care of their own. You live by the wayside if you do not have them as your backup.

This world is shaped by what the darksiders want, not by any operations of the law of karma. The law of karma does not exist as a factual mechanism. It is not built into the fabric of human life like a blueprint which guides unfoldment or evolution. The darkside society thinks that they have the ability to know the past lives and the present doings of others. This feeling is solely based on the the information they receive when they do mental gazing or 'eyeball-reading' (my terminology). They do not know that the source of the information they receive is the Occult Hierarchy of the elites or satan himself. satan gives them what it takes to put them on the path of destroying good people. The elites and the darkside society have the world doing what they want. The elites own most of the wealth in the world, and control the distribution of the greatest human necessity (money) by owning the Central Banks. Everyone depends on them, directly or indirectly. They control the politicians and the armies. They own the major Corporations and they control the supply of goods that people  need. Their laws are the ones people live by, whether on the law-books or unwritten. They have the force with which to create compliance. The darkside society was created by the elites, and is engineered by them to to serve their agenda. They have the force and manpower to control the access to sex and female companionship: probably the second greatest necessity in the world. The darkside society destroys goodness and good people to further their goal of complete domination of earth. The sex school is one of the tools they use to keep people preoccupied, while furthering their cause of world domination. When good people suffer and evil people thrive, you know that there is no law of karma in operation. No suffering of the good has ever been stopped because they didn't have the karma for it. No success of evil people have been stopped because they didn't have the karma for it. Relying on a fictitious law popularised by religion, to redress the wrongs of the world has simply worked to give it a green light!  

In this modern era, money is the real religion since it buys happiness. To get it, to keep it, and to get more often involves a complete divorce from morality and conscience. The darkside systems of living are not based on justice, morality or conscience. These are systems of control benefiting those who rule and which are actualised by force of all kinds, not God's will. Rulers at all levels are some of the most evil and heartless people on earth. It is because religion told mankind to trust God and the law of karma to give justice to everyone, that good people never took it upon themselves to fight evil or to seek justice on their own. Presently, the only justice one can get is through the legal system working with law enforcement. And, these agencies are governed by the powers-that-be. It is people who give fruits of action and justice to other people, not God or any universal law of action. In the 20th century there was certain level of goodness that condoned merit and acted as a leash on evil people. In the 21st century, evil is completely dominating earth. Good people are fighting back but are being eliminated, both by the elites and the darkside society. Might is right, and possession is nine-tenths of the law. These philosophies have almost completely supplanted justice and merit as human modus operandi. The good have to stop being mentally paralysed by the lies of religion, and other propaganda. They must realise that earth is self-governing, and that nothing will be done on their behalf, if it is not self-done! What is required is the awakening of even greater numbers of people by knowledge of how they have been programmed and deceived, especially by religion. Faith in religion is not faith in God! After awakening, the next step is to fight back. When you get there, then the next step will be clearer.

It is difficult to go through the teachings of each major Christian sect on the subject of karma or action and it's consequences. Generally, the Christians say 'As You Sow You Reap'. This means that you reap good fruits for the good that you do, and you suffer for the sins that you have committed. The balancing of the karmic book will allegedly take place on the grand 'Judgement Day' which takes place after Christ returns to establish his kingdom on earth.. Those who are worthy, or find their names in the 'book of life', will attain heaven. The living will have to wait until death to be judged, while the dead will be resurrected for that purpose. The sinful will go to hell. Those who are good but need to shed some burden of sin will go to Purgatory, from where, once cleansed, they will proceed to heaven, along with the good. They have not said that you will experience any 'reaping for what you sowed' in terms of receiving good things or punishment while you are alive. According to them, your karmic account will be balanced only on Judgement day, and your reward will be heaven or hell. Religion does not accept that it is too late to do any reset of karma, or action, once it is already done. The Catholics have CONFESSION as part of their rites and rituals, as a mode of getting rid of your past sins. You confess your sins to a priest who gives you a punishment in the form of saying certain prayers like the 'Our Father' or 'Hail Mary' a certain number of times using a 'Holy Rosary'. After doing this, your sins are lessened/forgiven. It is all make-believe considering that these are the people you confess to! Certain Christian sects do not see sin as a current human problem. They point out that Christ was born to die for our sins. Now that he is dead, all our sins are forgiven and there is nothing else that we are required to do. Christians point out that God's grace, his will for you, and his blessings will alter your karmic balance sheet. In fact, God's bounties can be experienced in some of the fortuitous events you experience in life e.g. healings, being saved from accidents, winning the lottery etc. They claim that each person has a Guardian angel who looks after him. It is through divine intervention that one can be saved from accidents, get good fortune or receive guidance while alive. Material bounties are usually seen as blessings from God.

Additionally, the Catholic Church sold INDULGENCES by which you could have remission from your sins. This has been restored as a Catholic practice.
"According to church teaching, even after sinners are absolved in the confessional and say their Our Fathers or Hail Marys as penance, they still face punishment after death, in Purgatory, before they can enter heaven. In exchange for certain prayers, devotions or pilgrimages in special years, a Catholic can receive an indulgence, which reduces or erases that punishment instantly, with no formal ceremony or sacrament.

There are partial indulgences, which reduce purgatorial time by a certain number of days or years, and plenary indulgences, which eliminate all of it, until another sin is committed. You can get one for yourself, or for someone who is dead. You cannot buy one — the church outlawed the sale of indulgences in 1567 — but charitable contributions, combined with other acts, can help you earn one. There is a limit of one plenary indulgence per sinner per day." (source)

God is the architect of this multi-verse, and he alone knows the true substance of things created. We simply do not know if or when he has used the power of forgiveness. Religion has given us no irrefutable evidence that God has ever forgiven. Stories and legends, like that of Saul, cannot be verified. There is no evidence available from God himself that he forgives. Saints and sages, messengers and God-men can be reported as stating the concept, or agreeing with it, but who can prove that God ever forgave anybody? How did the Holy Book writers come up with this notion?  The 'Lords Prayer' is credited to Matthew and Luke, but it ends differently in each case.Here are versions of the Lord's Prayer translated directly from Aramaic. The Bible was written beginning in AD 325 by Presbyters commissioned by Emperor Constantine. Since this was some 300 years after Christ allegedly died, none of the writers were alive to witness his direct words and actions. At the present time, we remember 300 years ago, if it all, through books and movies. In Christ's days, people were generally illiterate, and the few books there were were not widely circulated, if at all. So it must be either hand-me-down information or manufactured information. Tony Bushby has done excellent research on the origins of the Bible. Then again, the English version of the Bible was written between 1604 and 1611 by a team of 50. No-one knows if these translators were as 'divinely inspired' as the original writers allegedly were. 'Divine inspiration' is just a claim made by religion to insinuate inputs from God into the writing of the Holy Books. One cannot escape the fact that it was the rulers and governments of those times who initiated the moves to give people the words of 'God' in the interests of governance. The concepts of heaven and hell are fabrications. No one has  really come back after they died to let us know what really exists on the other side. It appears that heaven and hell as after-life destinations are the creations of religion! God is omnipresent i.e. he is everywhere, and there is no place where he is not. Why does religion say that heaven is his primary address?

There are other troublesome notions in Christianity. Why did they propagate the notion that Christ died so that our sins might be forgiven? "He willingly agreed to take over the karma of all his followers and free them from sin as long as they acknowledged him as their savior, repented for their actions and made a true confession of their actions before God. He suffered on the cross because he took over the karma of many people during his lifetime upon earth and he continues to do so even after his departure".(source). Here the Hindu tradition of Gurus taking unto themselves the karma of their followers is alleged. Unfortunately for believers, the religious writers and their current mouthpieces fabricated this mechanism. Actions and their consequences are not transferable from human body to human body. Even the Mahabharat clearly states that:
"As a man himself sows, so he himself reaps; no man inherits the good or evil act of another man. The fruit is of the same quality as the action.
— Mahabharata, xii.291.22^[53]"  (source)
There are two kinds of entities in a human body: the dark side and the soul. The dark side entity is a spark of satan while the soul is a spark of God. Each entity has a completely different nature compared to the other. Each entity does a different kind of action compared to the other. It is the dark side entity which commits the actions we call 'sin'. The soul cannot commit sin, So did Christ take unto himself the sins of the dark side entities? The souls had no sins for him to take! What happened was that they killed a good  man then tried to spin it as if it was God's plan all along. Most likely, they gave us the Cross as a symbolic reminder of what happens to those who oppose them. The one-being-in-a-body theory of human beings is a lie. When it is propagated via a certain teaching, then that teaching is also a lie. If they were presenting God-inspired truth, the soul and dark side would definitely feature in it. Many darksiders themselves know this truth today, and they know how to build the darkside within to install it as the controller of the body. Soul people know this truth too, and they fight the dark side to stay afloat. They know that it is the dark side entity which sins. They know it prompts it's desired action by instilling urges, desires, whims and fancies into the consciousness. They know that these suggestions are usually backed by imaginations and hallucinations. The dark side entity then moves the body to do the action. The sleeping soul has no guilt accruing. It is a helpless witness, unable to even know that it is supposed to resist this tyranny. So, do Gurus take on the past karmas of the dark sides within, when the souls they are more interested in are innocent? Do the Gurus not know that both entities cannot relinquish their own natures, and that a spark of satan cannot ever become a spark of God? How does this karmic transfer actually take place? Through the mystical power of the Guru or by editing the law of karma? Has the Guru conquered his own dark side even when he does not know that it exists? Not likely! Fake Indian Gurus abound. If you haven't compromised the satanic engine within, it keeps working despite the pious displays of holiness! Transferable karma is a lie. The power to unwrite, delete, or edit karma is also a lie!

Then again, one has to wonder about the mechanism at work in Christ dying for the forgiveness of the sins of his followers. What is the connection between Christ's death and 'our' piles of sin, such that you take his life by committing more sin, and 'our' sins just vaporise? Oh, but he was born for that purpose, they said. Couldn't he have made more of a difference had he lived a long life, teaching us how to beat the darkside within, as he was doing in the Essene Gospel Of Peace Bk1? Has any other human being died so that others won't have to pay for the sins that they committed? Were all the sins committed by Christ's followers forgiven up until his death, and even after his death into the present? The fact is that Christianity admits that sin still exists and has recipes for its editing. The Papacy and the Roman Empire created a Holy Book for controlling and unifying the people, not for telling them the truth about God, Christ and sin. So, why do Christians continue to sin? If your sins are forgiven because you follow Christ, shouldn't you be angelic in your behavior because you're now sin-free? If Christ died so that sins of Christians would be forgiven, why is the western world becoming more and more evil? Does that mean that Christ's death was in vain?  There is no commonsense in religion which is why they want you to shelve your brain and rely on blind faith. Why kill a good man who had everything to offer while alive, then spin tall tales about the reason for his birth being to die for our sins? Christ even admits this in the Holy Book written about him. What clever propaganda to be accepted with blind faith! Even Christ, allegedly, forgave sins in his time. Well, Christ was Christ so we cannot question his powers! But, what elevated common humans to the level of having the power to forgive? Does the power accrue if you forgive in Christ's name? Or maybe God's name? What does 'name' have to do with the power to edit karma? Is it so you can claim that God is doing it through you?

Evolution cannot truthfully explain the world, but religion cannot do so either. The more you dig into religion, the more the lies and misdirections show up. The fact is that the past action is a done deal. Afterwards, one can only attend to the consequences. Souls do make errors. The incomplete hence trespassing/predatory nature is not theirs. They are nurturers, helpers and healers. Unlike the darksiders, souls repent with contrite hearts and make reparations as far as possible, while vowing never to make that mistake again. Any punishment that is forthcoming is accepted. Soul people do not have 'sinning' as part of their natures, or as their way of life. The religious definition of 'sin' varies. Generally they include sinning against God, sinning against man and non-performance of religious rites, rituals and prayers. Many see praying as useless because prayers have no effect. So praying or doing rituals as a mode of editing karma are barren exercises. Karma or action cannot be deleted, not even from memory! Darksiders push their sins from their conscious memory. Not remembering it, they say, is evidence that they are not carrying any 'load'. They construe having a memory of it as carrying 'load'. But, it is there in the subconscious! Saying 'I forgive you of your sins', like priests and followers do, is nothing more than a lot of hot air. The Lords Prayer propagates a 'sin and let sin' society wherein forgiveness is mutually given for trespasses, but solving the problem of sin by shouting 'Do Not Trespass' never occurred to it's composers. Instead of fighting the mechanism that results in trespass, they found it fit to let it happen, then apply the band-aid of forgiveness.
