Welcome to The Karma Initiative Website
Thank you for joining us today! We are so glad you found us. You might be wondering who we are... The answer is simple really... The truth is, we are you and me, we are him and her, we are them, philosophically speaking... we are all together one! In this current world of materialism, we are doing our part to remind the world what can be. We create the world we want by committing selfless and unanimous acts of kindness. This is no easy task, and is something mainstream society currently fails to grasp. We believe that in time however, we humans will understand (remember) the importance of showing love and compassion for our neighbors, and will do so asking nothing in return. We are not suggesting you quit your job, become a monk, and give no thought to money and material things... Although that life might be quite fulfilling, that would be totally unrealistic. All we are saying is that here is no greater rule in life than that of the Golden Rule...
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
This simple line speaks volumes to the hearts of mankind, and can be found deeply rooted in almost all world religions. The challenge is to do our best to imbed this rule into our daily lives. As simple as these words sound, their implications would mean huge changes to society as we know it. Try to imagine a year, a week, or even a day without lying, without getting angry at someone, without being jealous and wishing you had for yourself some other person's possessions, without being fearful or causing others to fear, without doubting yourself or others, without thinking negative or destructive thoughts, without talking badly about someone behind their backs... Now try and imagine a world where these things don't happen at all.
If you are like most of us, these visuals and tasks are not easily accomplished. However, with each effort we make towards eliminating the negativity from our lives, and striving to be more kind and compassionate towards others, we bring the world one step closer to greatness. Our objectives can start small, and there is no need to beat ourselves up. There is greatness in each and every one of us, we just need to remember how to access it.
Try to catch yourself when you are acting in fear, stop to think about how you might act if you were acting in love. When you can successfully do this, and change your thoughts and actions, you will notice magical things appear in your life. We can assure you from years of experience and testimony, that by cultivating a kind and loving heart, you will be on the path to a better life, and be helping to create a better world.
What Can We Do?
This is the fun part. WE can do anything! The world is constantly in need of repair, and we are the mechanics. Everywhere we turn, there is someone or something that needs assistance. Our love can be felt by helping a turtle across the road, by providing a starving person some food, helping a friend out with gas money, by donating a million dollars to a worthwhile charitable organization, by developing the cure for cancer and giving it to the world, or just by giving your significant other the loving hug they so need. The opportunities are literally endless and everywhere. Whatever your means, do what you can, and do it without the need for recognition or reward. It is the love based feeling behind the act that counts. Just remember to keep doing.
