Ask Ninja: Week 2

Hi Readers,

Karma and how does it relate to the LoA (Law of Attraction). Good question. Well, to be honest with everyone, I can’t say that I’m an expert on the Hindu/Buddhist concept of Karma. However, I do recall listening to a talk from the Dalai Lama, in which he was explaining the concept of Karma; in relation to “The 4 Noble Truths”; the backbone of Buddhist doctrine.

Basically, to summarize as clearly as I can, Karma is an instance of intentional action that involves an agent. So that means it’s when an individual FOCUSES on doing something; ACTS upon it and then this sequence generally carries with it either positive or negative consequences, that COULD possibly last longer than the action itself.

Thus, for example, an action in the morning, could still have its lasting effects for the rest of the day, and Buddhists believe that Karma can even carry-on beyond lifetimes (but that’s for another post!). The Dalai Lama also mentioned 3 essential parts of a single Karmic Action: Intention -> Action -> Completion and how various degrees of intensity in each of these parts will also reflect the power and consequences of the karmic action. How does this relate to the Secret and the LoA?

The Secret talked alot about thoughts and the power of focusing your thoughts, that’s similar to the intention part of karma. The movie also mentioned two other aspects of the LoA; the part of ‘action’ and the act of ‘gratitude’ (completion).

Thus, you can have more attractive energy to achieve your goals by at least 3 different ways:

1. Focusing more and more on your positive intention
2. Having PASSION and energy when you’re conducting an action to achieve your goal
3. Being grateful for the result after the fact, even if it was a ‘failure’, you can still be grateful that you did the action

Or do all 3 of them at once!

Cheers and until next time.

Ask Ninja: Week 1

Hi Readers,

Thanks for last week's question about "unconscious focusing". That's a great question! Basically, most people's thinking goes on unconscious. One of the forefathers of psychology, good ol' Sigmund Freud was one of the first individuals to point out the power and influence of the 'unconscious mind' having on individuals.

In more modern times, practioners of NLP and personal growth gurus such as Tony Robbins and Bill Harris have emphasized the importance of beliefs and values in influencing the thought processes of individuals. Beliefs are generally defined as the thoughts that individuals tend to hold for certain topics in life; while values are what's important to them in life. For example, a belief for money would be "Money is the root of all evil"; and an example of values would be "Money means alot to me".

In any case, the case and point is that for most individuals; their beliefs and values in most topics are acting on an unconscious level. Thus, as much as a person tries to 'focus on the positive' things still tend to work out not according to plan, since a part of their mind maybe focusing on the opposite.

So what's the cure? Start doing exercises and finding out what beliefs and values you hold. Just get a piece a paper; and start writing the first things that come to mind when you think of money, love, success.

I hope that was helpful!

Cheers and until next week.
