Also, I wonder about what my happen in this life, because of things I've done in past lives, and even mistakes in this one... Ram Dass says "our Karma is our Dharma," which makes sense to me. I want to own all the things others have done to me, and own my responses to them, and learn from all of this, so I can make healthier decisions of who to trust and how much in the future, among other things I can learn from these Sacred Life Events.

yes what we experience now is indeed our karma/dharma. This idea of karma has many facets as I have already brought up in this thread: karma. It is important to realize that in various ways we can lessen our karma and burn it off. According to ParamahansaYogananda one kriya done properly burns off 1 year of karma and hastens evolution. I have also included some of Amma 's ideas on dealing with the cause/effect notion of karma. (See reply#4 Dec. 14 and reply#5 above; Dec. 30)
