We have all had the experience of knowing someone who acted as an enemy. Are such people karmic? Or are they just doing bad things? And how do we love such difficult souls?
What is the Karma of a soul? Basically it is the consequences the soul is confronted with in any given lifetime, resulting from actions initiated by that soul in prior life times. It is the result of responses by the individual in former incarnations to situations in a phenomenal realm usually involving the well being of other individuals. For instance, if the situation occurred where someone was mistreated by another the former may respond with hate anger or a grudge or that person might instead forgive and "learn to love thine enemies". Assuming the individual responded with hate and anger then the Karma of that individual would reap similar circumstances time and time again until the Soul learns to respond with compassion and forgiveness (Venus). As a point of interest the individual who
initiated the mistreatment would also set up a Karmic circumstance whereby that soul might be placed in similar situations with the roles now reversed in order to learn the same lesson of compassion. In both cases the Law of Retribution has been put into motion, consequently bringing forth new situations, new lessons, new means by which a Soul may yet evolve to the Wholeness of Spirit, depending upon how the soul responds to these new Karmic situations.
