I don’t know much about these two but as I see it Karma is
getting in your own way and Dharma is not. I suspect there’s probably an area
of the brain that constantly figures out what’s gone wrong, and because we
don’t like things going wrong it makes up stuff as to why it’s all gone wrong.
Of course nothing has gone wrong, it’s just gone the way it’s gone, just not
the way we wanted it to so the stuff it makes up is a fabrication of how it
could have gone right if it hadn’t gone wrong when it was neither right or
wrong in the first place. These fabrications form an insulator between reality,
which is neither right nor wrong, and one’s inner state that’s dam sure it is
all about right and wrong and that you’re getting the worst of it. You then act
as if that’s the case and retaliate to even things up. Basic mistake because
what’s wrong will have a different version of what’s right and wrong and
retaliate back. These retaliations reverberate around the system producing
karma. Basically don’t take it personal. Then comes the butterfly state as one
exits the “get this fucking shit off me” cocoon. Here the same stuff happens
but that little area in the brain has given up, it’s gone on a sabbatical,
(from which it rarely returns) and everything just is. And it ‘is’ in a gently
humorous way. Imagine you’re a Velcro covered hedgehog. Everything you come up
against snags and tags and you become a big ball of twigs, leaves, slugs and
cat food. OK I don’t know why cat food but it’s possible. Yuck! And then as if
by magic the Velcro turns into glossy straight spines. Nothing snags, the crap
falls off and you’re a clean go anywhere hedgehog just like you’re meant to be.
And the only way you can go is forward. That’s Dharma. And don’t blame me if
this is all bollocks, I learnt it from our cat Britney.
