How do you know if a relationship is karmic?.

Cecilia (not her real name) has some questions about karmic relationships:
“How do you know when a relationship is karmic? Is that a positive or negative thing? Can that be avoided, or does one have to go through it no matter what, since it is supposed to be part of his life’s journey?
“How does one deal with these relationships? If it is not a positive thing, how can you make it a positive one?
“It would help me if you could shed some light on this. Thank you so much.”

Dear Cecilia,

Let me start with some basic definition of terms which I explain in detail in my seminar on “Soul mates, Karma and Reincarnation.”

“Karma” comes from the Sanskrit word which means “action.”  We normally refer to action as something physical like running or eating. However, action here also refers to nonphysical acts such as thoughts, desires, intentions or purposes.

It is possible to incur a karmic debt or obligation simply by thinking of or intending to do something. This is because everything begins with the mind. The physical is only the result of a previous mental action.

For example, before a table or chair becomes a physical reality, it must first exist in the mind of the carpenter. Before a painting appears on canvas, it must first exist in the mind of the artist.

And before the sun, the moon and the stars appear physically, they must first appear in the mind of God.
I may add here that because of this, before one becomes physically sick, he was already sick mentally and spiritually. It may be hard to swallow such explanations. We are generally not accustomed to thinking this way because we are so focused on the physical plane as science has defined it. As the American psychic, Edgar Cayce, used to say, “The Mind is the Builder, the Physical is the Result.”

The soul never forgets

In this sense all close relationships are karmic, as for instance, parent-child, boss-subordinate, teacher-student, husband-wife. As I have often said, “We seldom meet a person by accident, for the soul never forgets.”
Karmic partners, therefore, are two individuals who are bound together because of strong karmic obligations or debts incurred in past incarnations which they have chosen to meet or work out together in this lifetime.

Strong karmic partnerships or relationships are often mistaken for soul mates. They differ from each other in the sense that karmic partnerships may take place because of some human obligations, lessons or debts to be paid, whereas a soul mate encounter always implies a higher spiritual purpose as a primary motivating factor or basis.

All soul mates are karmic partners but not all karmic partners are soul mates. Strictly speaking, one can have only one soul mate, but several karmic partners or relationships in a given lifetime.

Karmic relationships may either be happy and satisfying or they may also be unhappy and painful ones. One cannot avoid meeting a karmic partner because they have decided to meet in this particular lifetime.
Remember, there is always a reason why we meet a person, whether the relationship turns out to be a positive or a negative one.

The way to deal with a karmic relationship is to try to understand the reason or reasons for meeting and being together.
Karma, according to Edgar Cayce, is simply “meeting yourself,” meaning, you meet the consequences of your actions begun in the past but are only now taking effect in this lifetime.

Karma can be extinguished only by understanding why or how it was incurred.
