“Why is it that sometimes we have to wait so long for those who have hurt us to receive their Karma?
Does Karma wait until the person or persons have too much loss, and is karma delivered by the laws of the universe or God, or both?”
My response:
Karma simply means all action in the universe, thoughts, feelings, and physical actions.
It is neutral.
You are thinking of karma as a form of personal retribution. It’s true that karma has a function in restoring balance in the universe.
The reason why you have to wait is that your perspective of what constitutes justice or balance is different and more limited than the comprehensive awareness of cosmic intelligence.
Also, the timing of the universe’s actions is unfathomable and is not based on anyone’s sense of rightness or fairness.
Karma is the chain of action and reaction driven by the mental laws of cause and effect.
Ultimately all action and its timing are coordinated for the evolution and the needs of the individuals involved and for the universe as a whole.
It is the intelligence of the cosmos itself, not the job of a deity.
Love,
Deepak

“I’ve been working to clear negative thought patterns on a moment-to-moment basis for the past 7 years.
It’s amazing how entrenched some of this stuff is.
Why does the ego cling so hard to the negativity?”
My response:
It takes time for this old conditioning to fully dissipate from the mind/body system.
The ego clings to these old patterns because the ego is actually made out of this activity of resistance and avoidance.
This desperate mental activity is what we call negativity. But as you let your awareness rest in the background presence of Being, while the negativity continues on its own, it will eventually fade away like mist in the morning sun.
Don’t resist it, or try to push it away—that is just the ego mind engaging with another part of the ego mind.
Simply be that awareness that knows, thinks, and experiences everything, and that consciousness will automatically take care of all the healing and understanding that needs to happen.
Love,
Deepak

“I just read your response to someone’s question and I have an additional question on the topic: I have been doing yoga and meditation and I know that a lot of the negativity effortlessly pours out of me when I meditate, how do I know this?
Because afterwards I no longer feel them.
But some thoughts are tenacious, they stick no matter what, how does one get rid of those?”
My response:
The conditioning that tenaciously sticks around is old stresses that you identify very strongly with.
Your ego-mind is holding onto them because, from its point of view, it believes it needs those negative patterns, and that letting go of them feels like death.
The way to release them is to continue meditation so that awareness goes beyond the ego mind and realizes its true nature as unconditioned awareness.
In time the true self re-educates the ego so that it no longer holds onto that old conditioning.
When the time is right, that tenacious negativity will also pour out of you in that same effortless way.
Love,
Deepak

“I am now in my 20s with no car, no conventional job, no cell phone, and quite frankly, no desire to live by the standards set by society.
Most people would claim this as having a twisted world perspective, but I feel in my heart that it’s right for me to live without these things.
It’s not out of a place of fear, because that is what I originally thought, but after deep introspection, I just don’t see a need or real desire for these things (for the most part), and I wonder about your perspective on this.
Is this ok?
Is it wrong for me to so deeply wish to set the standards for my own life?
Everyone around me thinks it is, and truth be told it does weigh on me.
My greatest desire is to help and push humanity forward, but I just feel that I cannot do this while being subject to society’s conditioning.
What should I do?”
My response:
It’s not only ‘okay’ to live life on your own terms, that is what becoming a fully formed adult requires.
Authenticity is also the surest way for one person to make a real difference in improving the world.
This means you are in touch with your core self and finding value and direction from within, instead of from the values and messaging of the media, advertising, and social expectations.
Simply continuing to listen and to live according to your inner guidance is all you need to do to be an agent of positive change for humanity.

Deepak

My Response:
I suspect the changes you felt in your ego from your practice of meditation and yoga were real.
I don’t think the resurgence of anger and jealousy is really a relapse as much as it is an uncovering of a new, deeper layer of emotional conditioning that your spiritual practices have revealed so that it can be dissolved and healed.
This is often the cycle of spiritual evolution; we clear a certain layer of conditioning and then experience a consequent expansive state of awareness that may feel so good that we think we are finished.
With the exposure of this deeper, rawer, and sometimes more intense feeling/behavior, we may feel we have regressed to our former reactive ego self.
Instead, it means we are working on the next stage of awakening, which is bringing us ever closer to our unlimited, unconditioned self.
Love,
Deepak

#AskDeepak “I am filled with constant fear and anxiety and have been for quite some time now. I attribute it to my unstable job situation. I have had a number of different jobs over the past year and can’t seem to settle into one. How do I manage the constant fear and anxiety and settle myself so that I can get deep, restorative sleep?” My response: You can’t instantly make your job secure, but you can change the way you look at your job, and that can change your anxiety. Right now you are looking to your job situation to give you a sense of stability and calm. But even if you were certain that you could keep your present job for the rest of your life, you could be every bit as anxious as you are now about countless other uncertain factors in your life. The point is that you need to make friends with change and uncertainty. It is an illusion to think we can be calm by controlling life. Recognizing that the contentment of our true self is unchanged by the constantly changing outer events is what I sometimes call the wisdom of uncertainty. If you start to see your life from the point of view of your true self, instead of your separate, changing self trying to find security in an ever-changing job scene. When you find your sense of security inside you, then you can let your job be what it is, while you open yourself to new possibilities. Love, Deepak
Solution to the so called “hard problem“ of consciousness. Quantum Mind, Quantum Body, Quantum Universe as a unified process in non-local consciousness.

“It has been said by sages that one’s essential nature is pure awareness, and I have accepted that is true.
Our real self is awareness.
I want to know who, as a physical body, the one who is asking you the question….exactly who is this?
Is this the conscious mind, the frontal lobe of the brain, or the mental body?”
My response:
The question “Who is this ‘me’ that is asking who it is?” may seem like a simple question, but it is tricky and needs clarification.
You make a distinction between the real self as awareness and the ‘me’ you say is doing the asking as a physical body.
The easiest way to understand this is that the ‘me’ you refer to may be associated with many characteristics of a body, personality, thoughts, beliefs, feelings, memories, and sensations, but none of those things is the ‘me’ that you have felt to be yourself that hasn’t changed throughout your life.
It is more than any experience, or the accumulation of experiences could be.
That is why the brain, or mind cannot comprehend or know the essential ‘me.’
The real ‘me’ is awareness, and it isn’t a distinct thing or object, like a book that can be known as separate from the one knowing it.
The relative, conditioned ‘me’ can never know exactly who the non-changing, unconditioned ‘me’ is, because the ego mind doesn’t have the capacity to know the true Self.
Only the true Self can know itself, by itself and through itself. This pure awareness is the source or essence of ‘me.’
Love,
Deepak
In order to understand the physical world we need to understand the nature of matter. When we fully grasp that understanding we will be able to create new realities in the physical universe, including new forms of exotic matter and physical worlds.
