This month’s discourse is on Karma. In this morning’s reflection, the Inner Master prompted me to ask why I get angry at others. Why do I get frustrated all the time with the news, with social media, with the opinions of others?

Looking at it more carefully, I get upset with other people, when I feel they judge situations or people unfairly. I don’t like judgement, especially when it comes from someone who isn’t seeing a bigger, or more empathetic picture.

I get upset with the religious bigot or the hypocritical church. But why is this such a trigger?

Because those types of people have judged me. They hurt me. From the book burnings, to the constraints on life choices. From that, I became the person I am today. I judge others, they way they judged me. I am reflecting their karma. I am also producing karma.

My judgement of others, produces more judgement in my world. It’s an endless cycle. The only exit is to recognize the problem and stop the production of this type of karma.

In short: I need to stop judging others.

I need to let situations go.
