We are taught "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth". This has been misinterpreted as the strategy for humans' right to taking revenge on other humans, but I believe it should be understood in the sense of karmic echo for our actions. In this respect it is valid. This kind of karmic retribution is the reflection thrown back at us from the mirror of cosmic consciousness, in the last consequence of our own deepest center.
So. Initiates knew this all along and had an idea of how to avoid karmic retribution. They attempted to eliminate all feelings of guilt and conscience, act with total impunity. Thus they turned themselves into the sociopaths devoid of all empathy who have run our world for so long. They knew, there was no single being called "God" who would call them to account, steal their bacon so to speak. They thought they were safe. -
Until Jesus came, the "innocent". - But before Jesus there was some-one else. Job. In the book of Job we read of a man, who is experiencing problem after problem. He said, the problems are sent to him from God. The pharisees were upset. What a preposterous claim! If you experience something bad, you must have deserved it in some way!! - However in the lead up to the story we read, that the devil waged a bet with god and claimed he could turn every-one into his servant. God said, perhaps that will work with most, but not with this guy, Job. So the devil got free hand and tried. He tried by sending problems, heart-ache after heart-ache.
Now I assume, Job, being a good man would have scrutinised himself, navel-gazed and delved down into the deepest recesses of his self. Whatever guilt or other evil impulse he would have found, he would have purified. That is how we work when we want to change our lives around. When bad things happen to us, we go down into ourselves and purify. Finally he arrived at a point, where he was clear enough to say: "Outcome does not match input!" - "I am innocent. Whatever misfortune I experience must be sent by God for some reason unknown to me. I cannot find the seed-cause in myself. So I just surrender in trust." He created the platform in collective consciousness for the recognition of innocence. One's own recognition of one's own innocence. There is no-one out there, who will or can pronounce you innocent. It is your own conscious self that needs to arrive at this point. No-one else would know anyway.
Before one can get there, one would have looked at oneself in the karmic mirror of collective consciousness. Listened deeply to the echoes. Listened into the inner silence. Meditated. Surrendered completely, avoided nothing, opened up to everything. One would have understood one's own capacity for evil thought, speech and action. One would have gone through one's own hell and taken responsibility for it. The words of redemption would have risen: "Sin? No More!". - One would have generated, found and accepted the ultimate good will in oneself. One would have mastered oneself. That is a far cry from the guiltless sociopaths in charge.
From this platform, from the conscious awareness of innocence, Jesus rose, who knew his innocence, because he knew evil, when he saw it, who defeated the devil, because he had first recognised and defeated evil inside his own consciousness. He had co-created the ultimate good will, yet he was aware that he was only one amongst many, he was a "son" of the collective, the true nature of humanity. He was the man of the future.
I have learnt that innocence cannot be accumulated. It has to be lived on an ongoing basis. It requires a sacrifice. I have let go of my desire to ever be immune to evil. I sacrifice the idea of perfection. I see myself as inherently capable of error at all times. The desire for perfection is a proud impulse. Humility is understanding my ongoing capacity for error, mistake, self-serving impulse. This keeps me constantly on my toes. And there is a point where I see: "outcome does not match input". Bad things happen to me, happen to many people and I find no basis for those in the karmic mirror. It happened to Job. It happened to Jesus. It happened to the Tibetans. It happens to countless people. There is a space, a circumstance in the karmic journey through time, where we must step out of the automatic knee jerk reaction to always assume personal failing for our misfortune, - after double-and-triple-checking - and hold it possible that there are other forces at work, other patterns are playing themselves out here.
There is a good test: How do I process a situation, where I become aware of a personal guilt, a karmic debt? Am I humble, grateful, accepting or am I resentful, wanting to shatter the mirror? Can I apologise, generate, find and surrender within me to the resolve of "No More"? Or do I want to kill the messenger of God, snuff the light that illuminates my darkness? - I know the dark impulse from my own experience. It is real. To the degree I am capable of holding this impulse in check, I purify my karmic debt.
I look around and find many people who seem to think, talk and act differently. There we are. Unravel history from this perspective. Understand what has happened and still happens. How misfortune can befall one and many outside of the simple equation that says, we must have brought it on ourselves, somehow.
Consider and understand why the law of Karma is turned on its head and used as a weapon for example by people from the Tea Party, who want to sue homosexuals in court for having created HIV/AIDS by their presumed "abomination" . In HIV/AIDS I see the breakdown of our ability to protect ourselves due to the fact that we have abused and exhausted our powers of protection and defense. We have purposefully tried to use "defense" as a cover up for our attacks and aggressive impulses. We are playing victim where we are perpetrators. The power of protection may not be abused in this fashion. That IS the seed karma of the virus and whoever is engaged in that kind of smoke and mirror strategy is a co-creator of HIV/AIDS. - Actually I rather think, we ought to thank the conscious work of gay men to clear those karmic seeds of the disease by taking personal responsibility for the collective guilt of men. Abuse of the Law of Karma also by men and women who lay the blame for rape at the feet of the victims, by the wealthy (Hindus and likewise inspired, etc.) who believe their karma is just soooo good and all those paupers have only themselves to blame, somehow.
I have learnt that God, the collective good will is merciful and forgiving, just as I found these qualities in my own consciousness. The karmic watershed however is the constant sounding of "Sin? No More!".
Who is not ready?
