Subject: Money and Karma: You

Won't Gain Negative Karma With

These 7 things

Money and spirituality are commonly

viewed as incompatible. However,

since financial resources are

necessary to survive and money by

itself takes nothing away from your

spirituality, it's reasonable and wise to

simultaneously strive for a healthy

spiritual foundation and relationship

with money.

Along your spiritual path in life, you

may wonder about the karmic

implications of assorted financial

situations.

Of course, it's no surprise that negative

karma is gained through bullying,
manipulating, making false promises,

or otherwise abusing your financial

power. But there are other situations

related to money that are commonly

misinterpreted as "not spiritual,"

perhaps partially stemming from

subconscious past life memories, for

example, of vows of poverty.

The conclusions we have drawn from

over 25 years of empirical research

involving karma and predestination

show that no negative karma is picked

up from the following seven financial

related circumstances.

1. Having more money than God. As

long as you earn or otherwise acquire

your money through honest means, it's

acceptable, no matter if you're a

millionaire, billionaire, trillionaire, or

gazillionaire.

While it's true that there are individuals

in this world who have gained their

money dishonestly, it's wise to avoid

grouping everyone of means in that

nefarious category. As the saying goes,

you can't become (wealthy) what you

resent.

By the way, even though those who

inherit wealth are often vilified, we've

found time and again that they've

earned every penny through their past

life actions. Gaining positive karma

now through good deeds is how you

positively direct your (future-life)

destiny, despite your the core of your

current life destiny (fate) being

unchangeable.

2. Not giving your wealth to an official

charity. Of course, you gain a lot of

good karma if you give to those in need,

but isn't everyone in need? Whether

you choose to help others through your

words, advice, or time rather than

donations, or if you elect to give money

directly to specific individuals, instead

of to an official charity with a bloated

budget—It's your money and no one's

business but your own what you do

with it.

3. Gambling. Considering you're not

speculating on credit or avoiding your

financial responsibilities, it's your

money and you can do what you want

with it. Addiction, which can involve

anything, causes neglect and ruin.

Gambling itself does not.

4. Spending a lot of money on alcohol

or lavish, gourmet meals. While it's

true abusing alcohol or food can make

you pick up some nasty karma, in our

view, having a few drinks or an

expensive meal with friends once in

a while won't break the karma bank. As

long as you're not putting anyone at risk,

you're fine.

5. Blowing all your disposable income

on your music collection, art, jewelry, or

other non-essential items instead of
helping the disadvantaged. Although

you'll always gain good karma by

helping others financially, aside from

legal or parental obligations, or verbal

agreements, the financial needs of

others are not your responsibility.

However, keep in mind that if you feel

guilty about refusing to help someone,

that guilt could manifest as negative

karma, even if it's only false guilt.

6. Refusing to give in to pressure and

donate your hard-earned money to a

political or other cause. Don't let

anyone guilt you into donating. Turning

down a request to donate your money

won't incur negative karma.

7. No matter how much in need the

person may seem to be, even if he or

she gives you a nasty look when you

fail to offer your spare change as you

pass by, you won't pick up any

negative karma by refusing to give to

panhandlers. Their financial situation

is not your obligation. Just because

you earn more than someone doesn't

mean you owe them. Assist the less

fortunate when you are compelled to,

not when pressured.

The honest acquisition of and use of

financial abundance toward positive

means won't make you incur any

negative karma as long as you are not

harming yourself or anyone else. Don't

let anyone convince you otherwise.
