The Shield and Sword

There are times when two events appear to have a yin-yang relationship. One of these combinations is spirituality and karma. There are times when spirituality affects karma and karma affects spirituality. Observation makes it possible to see these are two unique realms with interconnections.

The Universal Compass is spiritual. A person goes through four motions to complete a successful harvest. Plant the seeds, let them grow, harvest the grain and fill the storehouse for winter.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse is karmic. Conquest to explore territory, war to establish rights, famine in fate from invading territory and death to reassert property rights.

Writing the Universal Compass and Coordinating Balance in another blog, I will focus on the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. There is also redirection of each cycle when aware of their movement.

Spirituality is a shield. Karma is a sword. They interconnect to build wisdom. There is an underlying desire to achieve happiness. When a person is calm and seeks higher philosophy to understand life's mysteries, they are given more responsibility. When a person finds better methods of dealing with life, they become a complete person.

Spirituality is full of dogma. Karma is frightening. In religion, these counter forces are portrayed as angels or demons. The angel is benevolent with needs. The demon a fierce adversary who prays on the living for selfish reasons

There is a series of observations to decide if an individual is blessed or cursed. Curses are notable in the stories of the four horsemen and the highway man. People observe these stories literally, yet it is an observation of decline.

It begins with conquest. A person decides to be assertive. They find opposition to compromise and begin a war. They suffer disease and starvation. Finally, someone dies. In order to complete the cycle a winner is necessary. It might be the conqueror. It might the conquered people.

A simple tale to begin the story, a neighboring town desires more supplies for their people. They advertise their goods to open trade. The city tires of claim of health and wealth. The desire supplies and can make their own. They become weary of aggressive advertisements. There is a need to address a problem. Who are these people? What do they want? Can they benefit from our knowledge?

There is no one to help to defend them. They have not resolved how to get in and out of conflict. They become insane with rage. Therefore, each step must be considered.

We will use the Universal Compass to strengthen are existence in a foreign land. We will review spirituality to be devote and truthful to our beliefs. We will consider karmic consequences.

Similar to karma when someone does something bad to another person, they have bad karma. Karma is always sword. It is always a projection onto other people. We cut ourselves when realizing our faults. We cut other with blades of judgment.

The nice consequences of karma are justice and protection. When avenge ourselves or observe another taking vengeance, it reasserts those people have a suitable sense of comfort in harming their enemies.

Karma is more than wishing bad things to happen to other people. It is a measurement of an activity that interferes with another person's life.

Someone can have an enormous amount of spirituality and remain cruel. They feel they are best or better as part of a defense. Judgment creates reasons for opposition.

One person understands dedication and a purpose for life. People around them have less to accomplish and endure to gain knowledge through experience. This detracts from them gaining wealth and blessings. With conflict and accusation, battles are spontaneous.

Karma has the obvious downside. Those with bad karma are punished externally and internally for misdeeds. As the person asks for others to suffer for harming them, other people ask them to suffer. Suffering can be endless and unfair. This promotes people to correct bad karma. A person has to acknowledge and improve themselves. With desperation to live, they must end the war and discontent. Now, personal survival is at risk.

Spirituality is a balance between blessing and curses. These mostly relate to material wealth.

Karma is a balance between condemning and condemnation. It feels spiritual. It is a progressive taming of emotions and connecting actions to consequences.

We fight against demons writhing in our minds and emotions. There is always a common purpose. Mechanically, it shifts to the next part of the cycle. Similar to noticing the a person while turning around, there is time to alter how much damage each person suffers.

We find ourselves without pity. The slate to avoid death and revelation of the winner is in observation of the multiple levels of other states of higher bliss and enlightenment.

Spirituality is a shield against karma. With a wealth of wisdom, an individual is likely to correct actions to gain better results. In addition, wealth of property makes it difficult to fall into ruin. Spirituality can add a few years to a person's life. They have a few more years to gain wisdom.

Good karma can be possessed by someone who has a cursed life. With a higher need to compensate, they are considerate of people. Without choice, they must broaden an understanding. They must attempt to empathize with friends and enemies.

To achieve compromise, winning ideals or group of people become righteous. Battles to establish compromise become less extraordinary. There is a gain of knowing our neighbors. A harvest of facts and additional concepts. Establishment of trade compliance. Gains from the cycle of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse is notable and desirable.

Since these are different realms of movement, there is a strand of variation. I am not the first to observe karma is an unyielding host forcing people into submission. There are a few connecting points between the two realms.

It is interesting seeing two similar yin-yang systems next to each other and how they react. They connect and separate. Negotiations for one does not resolve or find balance for the other. There are harmonies between them, yet they never hit the same note.

Coordinating Balance

There are times when two separate realms of balance appear to share opposing forces. One of these relationships is between spirituality and karma.

Spirituality is a development through a goal of developing wisdom. We use the ancient knowledge to guide our actions and become better people.

A human who reads books of spirituality and never practices spirituality is rich in knowledge without wisdom. A human who declines ancestor knowledge lives to the fullest with limitation in progress. A human who learns from their ancestors and practices knowledge becomes wise.

Demonstrating forgiveness and the other divine rights, we improve life through the universal compass. Repetition of successful behaviors gives us a map to lead us away from danger. When understanding it is possible to give a percentage of our time and wisdom to the community, the community protect those who follow procedures to a successful life.

Karma is a development of wisdom. It takes form through actions. Despite the intentions of the individual, the outcome of harming another person places karma into motion.

A human who is always cautious of others people's needs is a spring of life to everyone except themselves. A human who takes action without thought leaves a path of regret for everyone and ponders their mistakes. A human who plans a future for everyone before taking action has a life of experience and finds paths for future travel.

Regardless of being a hero and allowing other people excel with their strengths or being a homeless person who steals to survive, the only action counted is theft. It is important to for the person to know they have taken something from another person. It does not matter that they pay others back by taking on the challenges that scare other people. It does not matter that the person must steal to live.

Spirituality grows and produces a long life. A statement in many religions, a person will have a longer life for following dogmas. Their children will also benefit from developing an upward curve of prosperity when having faith and traits that guide them to solidarity. Without spirituality, a person faces many hardships until being able to die.

Karma only produces experience. Through the experience of sufferings, we find wisdom in taking different actions to avoid harming other people. Harm to other people harms ourselves. Our hero can decide to tell others of their tales or encourage participation. They no longer suffer because they no longer suffer alone. Failure to acknowledge karma equals the repeating the same actions and living the same experience without an end.

Spirituality and karma interact. Spirituality is a shield. By having prosperity, there is a longer life to decipher karma. Karma is a sword. It stabs at people. If using karma to harm a person who harms them, it only produces slowing down the other person.

It is possible to use spirituality as a shield. The way to tell they are separate realms of exists is noticeable through the action. It bounces off of each other.

A person does not end constant infringements on personal life with spirituality. They do not know why or how they deserve mistreatment. Instead, prosperity blocks karma so karma is not felt as deeply.

A person does not grow strong with karma. They understand why they provoke vengeance. Instead, caution develops a sense to think about recurring problems.

Spirituality does not taunt a person to betterment with force. Karma does not offer resources for a better life. Understanding how any why they are different, it is easier to focus on one or the other. They are different though fulfilling a similar purpose to gain wisdom.
