Change
Your Philosophy
Change
Your Karma
Sounds
like a good deal but there’s a catch,
you
may be jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.
You
may open your Karmic pipeline and find your
Karmic
overdraft being called in a bit too quickly

In this
extract from Aphorisms on Karma, W Q Judge suggests that by
making fundamental changes in oneself by embracing and practising a new
philosophy, you will no longer be a suitable vehicle for the discharge of your
current Karmic burden and a new class of Karma will come into play.
“Changes
may occur in the instrument during one life so as to make it appropriate for a
new class of Karma, and this may take place in two ways:
(a)
through intensity of thought and the power of a vow, and
(b)
through natural alterations due to complete exhaustion of old causes.”

On the
surface this sounds like a good deal but Judge does not actually state that all
your Karmic problems will be over. In fact a change in philosophy no matter how
profound and sincere can in fact pull some bad stuff.
Karma can
be seen a being similar to having extensive investments which one cannot access
all at once, while on the other hand having a massive overdraft which you will
have to pay off eventually but hopefully not all at once.
It may be
that a philosophy which better equips the adherent to cope with adversity is
opening a pipeline of difficult Karma thus calling in the Karmic overdraft a
bit more quickly than you would hope. Of course if you are really intent on
discharging your bad Karma then you may be prepared for this.
