I don't see karma as being designed to provide lessons for individuals. One might compare it to electricity. Is electricity designed to teach us not to put a nail in the light socket? However, one may learn that that is not the correct thing to do. I look upon karma as being neutral. It doesn't care what you do. If you plant carrot seed, you will get carrots. Does that have anything to do with karma? It has more to do with the law of cause and effect. I once asked my brother what he learned from a certain experience he had. His reply was, "I learned not to do that again." What a profound answer!! If that is all we learn, that would be sufficient. No reason to delve into the why's and wherefor's. But our human plight seems to be making the same mistakes over and over again, right into the grave. Someone once said, "If I don't change, I will remain the same". I have a simple remedy for disease. It's change. Change your job, your spouse, where you live, your religion, the way you think. Everything. The problem is nobody wants to change, especially their self image. So instead of looking on the inside for answers to our problems, we go outside. That's the path of least resistence. The best that that can do is provide a temporary fix until one is willing to change. Most healers that I see are running "fix it" shops. The patient says, "Fix me up, doc, so I can do the same things that made me sick in the first place." Of course, most "good" docs will do just that. Although I once knew a chiropractor that would not accept patients that drank cow's milk. He maintained that cow's milk was for the calf and mother nature knows best. How far we have fallen from that concept!!

I am also a level 6 pranic healer (all that means is that I have taken practical lessons in some advance techniques) from M.Choa Kok Sui, and there, it was highly recommended to learn Bardonian Hermetics. :):) As for the charging money or not, it becomes a personal decision which should not be justified. In my case, I used not to accept any compensation for the healings, later on I understood the importance of keeping the energy flowing (and with money is not different), then, whenever a patient offered to pay I accepted, kept some and gave some, worked quite well. In the area of karmic consequences, I learned quite a lot form Rawn "However, from a perspective of Universal Legality, illness is a gift that is meant to teach us an Important karmic lesson that we have not been able to learn in the absence of disease." Thanks for this lines Rawn. I have a question for you on this area. I used to go to weekly pranic healing at a children's burned center unit. It was very difficult -and still is- to comprehend the karmic implication of a 4 month baby with severe burns in his body..
