Clearing Karma Patterns: Break the Cycle Now (I will make you laugh)

Last week, over herbal tea in Portland, three friends shared their 2024 stories:

• Lisa: Tech layoff after 15 years

• Mark: Small business revenue dropped 60%

• Sarah: Nursing burnout turned chronic insomnia

Their collective sigh: "We're all fighting invisible battles."

This mirrors global economic anxiety - the Dow Jones lost $4 trillion in 2023. In the second quarter of 2024, the US gross job losses reached 7.8 million while many people choose to be passivly seeking as career hopes collapse. But our real crisis isn't just financial - it's psychic. That's why I want to talk about karmic echoes today.

I am here to heal (and make you laugh)

Recently, someone asked in the comments section: “Why do the karmic imprints on our hearts linger instead of dissolving with changing circumstances? Why are they left behind, and how can we make them disappear?”

This question touches on one of the most profound aspects of life and human experience. To answer it, we must first understand the fundamental difference between the mind and the external world.

The Nature of the Mind vs. the External World

External things are impermanent. They arise and fade according to conditions and causes:

• When the conditions align, a phenomenon appears.

• When the conditions shift, the phenomenon changes.

• When the conditions disappear, so does the phenomenon.

But the mind is different. The mind is not just another impermanent phenomenon. It is the source, the root, and the substance that gives rise to all other phenomena. The mind is what determines whether something appears real or unreal.

If you believe something is false, it fades like a bubble on the surface of the ocean, leaving no trace. But if you believe something is real, that belief imprints itself on your mind. Even if this life ends and circumstances change, the same type of conditions will gather again in a new form, drawing you back to the same experiences. The karmic traces on the mind are the result of confusion and attachment—of mistaking illusion for realit

业 (Yè/Karma) = Your soul's receipts from past transactions (actions, thoughts, vows). Not punishment - physics.

The 3 Flavors of Karmic Icebergs:

1. Sanctuary Debts (Relationships unresolved over lifetimes)

2. Ancestral Contracts (Patterns inherited like generational trauma)

3. Shadow Agreements (Subconscious vows like "I'll never trust again")

Neuroscience Meets Vedic Wisdom: Why Pain Outlasts Its Cause

Let me share an epiphany from Master Lin's Feng Shui retreat:

"Trauma crystallizes not from events - but sustained attention."

MRI studies prove: Replaying hurt grows neural pathways 3x faster than joy (Harvard, 2022). Ancient texts said this differently:

"What you resist persists. What you observe dissolves." - Dao De Jing Verse 22

Your mind's projector runs 24/7:

• Screen: External events (layoffs, breakups, etc.)

• Film: Karmic patterns (unworthiness, scarcity, etc.)

• Projector: Your focus/interpretation

Fix the film (karma), not the screen.

This method comes from Himalayan monasteries where 9 symbolizes completion and 81 represents infinite renewal:

Implementation:

Letting Go: The Wisdom of Non-Attachment

Letting go doesn’t mean passivity. You can still respond to situations, stand up for yourself, or take action as needed. But the key is to let go within your heart—without clinging, without over-identifying. Whether you choose to forgive or push back, it should come from a place of clarity, not emotional reactivity.

After you’ve acted, return your mind to a state of peace, like a calm and empty sky. “Let the past pass like a cloud, leaving no trace behind.”

Why Is Letting Go So Hard?

We’ve been immersed in this world of illusion for so long that we’ve become deeply entangled in it. It’s not “easy” to let go because knowing something intellectually isn’t the same as embodying it fully.

To truly dissolve karmic imprints, we need to reprogram the deeper layers of our subconscious mind. This requires more than just understanding—it demands action.

Action as the Tool for Inner Transformation

If you want to stop being a victim, then stop living like one. Act as though you are free. Speak, think, and behave like someone who has already transcended victimhood. Over time, your actions will reshape your inner beliefs. Your new way of living will reprogram your subconscious mind, transforming your identity from the inside out.

Think of it this way:

• The present you determines who you will become—not the past you.

• Every moment offers a new choice to shape your future.

Final Thoughts: Karma Lives in the Heart

Karma isn’t something “out there.” It’s not an external punishment or a reward system. Karma lives in the heart. The moment you see it clearly for what it is, its power begins to dissolve.

However, because we’ve been lost in the illusion for so long, the process of letting go requires consistent effort and awareness. Change doesn’t happen overnight, but with each small action aligned with your true self, the karmic marks begin to fade.

Start now. Act from the identity of the person you wish to become, and watch as your inner world—and outer circumstances—transform together.
