Kriology Level II Recording 4

|
In this recording, Kriyananda talks about following your bliss, and letting go of what does not bring you bliss. He explains how this relates to karma:
"And of course the danger, and it is a danger, is you go to the other extreme, thinking you’re God and you can do what you want to do. But that’s your problem that has to be and will be in time worked through. The secret is to see the forces of life and realize that they are in you, and that they are preconditioned by past desires, greeds, needs, setting up samskaric patterns, karmic conditions.
Not, not, not to punish you, but rather to give you the opportunity to experience what you need to experience that if you remain halfway awake, halfway balanced, you will see this is not a wise thing to do. This was not a wise thing to do, I choose not to follow this impulse. There are other impulses, and there are movements that are not impulsive that can be done. And you’d become free."
