Episode 09— Karma, What it is and How it Works

This episode explores the so-called Law of Karma— the inescapable cycle of cause and effect, and how it is both shaped by our past actions and may determine our future ones. It addresses common misperceptions and misuse of the word, and examines its centrality in the Asian doctrines of reincarnation as a driving and continuous force, but one that is ultimately ours to control if we so choose. It also explores how the consequence of actions can be mitigated and their roots burned to prevent endless repetition of the same problems— so that the binding nature of Karma can be transformed into a path to liberation, where Karma becomes Karma Yoga— union with the Divine through self-less action.
