If all agree that respect 4 the creation of others is due, y do most disrespect the CREATIONS OF GOD: air, water, land and animals? Isn't this directly related 2 the effects of karma?

From: dsinkins

Of course, and the people who perpetrate the mindless acts of destruction against all of Gods' beautiful creations, are the one's who will be reborn in their next carnation with an even more unhappy soul than they have today.These people need 2 b educated, helped, and above all they need 2 b shown Love, Warmth and Compassion so that they can then respect all of Gods' gifts, the way it was originally planned.I believe that most(if not all) of us r truly loving and caring and that if the Love, Warmth and Compassion we have in each other is shown to all around us, then the transition into our next life will b a truly wonderful experience.

This is true, however humankind has been dealt a tricky card from God. He gave us a mind of r own with powers often 2 great 2 control. The nature of humankind is exactly how we r changing the holistic nature of the universe.We think there4 we act... all 2 often it is r actions that cause damage 2 all creation which ultimately affect rselves.

I believe that humankind is at the doorstep of r next evolution. 1 where we will transform r way of thinking and move towards a higher plane of thinking and relating 2 the universe. Technology is the answer and the solution.Through it, humankind is rapidly gaining a renewed sense of r place in the universe. Old conceptions r being seen for what they r... damaging and self-destructive.

I believe that in the near future ppl will come 2 understand true meaning of spirituality and GOD and thereby learning to respect GODS creations.

Karma is like a life scoreboard that tracks your energy and interactions with others and the environment. It is a dynamic process because you live within this place and that you are infusing life to.

Klean your Karma. Send love out and you will find it come back to you a thousand fold.

Would it not be more related to Ego, that which causes ppl to feel separate from God and Creation? Most buy into the illusion that God is somewhere other than here, and in doing so they forget to look deeper, to look behind the outer perception and see God in everything. Buying into the illusion allows one to be the "naughty child", thinking they won't get caught or can blame it on someone else. If all felt that connectedness to God, and that which was created, then all actions would be performed with love and respect, not only for those close but for the world, and all that is in the world.

Respect relies upon the notion that in order 4 one 2 b more, one must b less. Since, by definition, respect means 2 "consider worthy of high regard", it 4tifies the division btween us by literally casting each of us in the role of God thereby seper8ing us from the One. Respect is a judgment of value and as such ultim8ly leads 2 karmic debt. Reverence, on the other hand, is God-vision...allowing us 2 c rselves in all creations. It is a third "I" vision that cs the nherent worth in all creation bcuz it's the true self-realization that outward projection is INpossible. Based upon the nterdependency of all creation, it is mpossible 2 revere one without revering every1. There4, while respect is due, reverence does...LOVE.

I don't know much about karma, but, I do agree that respect for creation is long overdue! I believe that the question is worded with with the incorrect assumption that ALL believe that respect for creation is important. Sadly, it has been my observation that not all of earth's citizens view the preservation of our beautiful home as a priority. I think that it comes down to a question of appreciation and respect...no...it is simply a question of love. Love covers a multitude of sins, not just in that it makes us cover the sins of others, it helps us to cover our sinful traits with acts of love. If we LOVE our creator then we will love his creations. If we LOVE our neighbor then we will protect the environment that we all share. If we truly love then we will seek the greater good. Jesus said... "by this you will know my disciples, if they have love for one another.

It doesn't seem that this love has taken over the minds of all in the earth, but it is spreading. This love has made over the lives of at least 6,000,000 people that I know of and more are added as we speak. One day, the entire earth will be inhabited by a loving, united, society of humans who will respect the creation and live in harmony with the world around. What do you think?
Peace and Love,

Bobby

Mankind has evolved into a species where ignorance, greed, the pursuit of material things has taken over our inner soul and spirit. In this respect, God's creations have suffered. If we read about Buddhism & karma, we can learn that it is God's creations that have kept us going for so many years. The cycle of karma will continue until we can fully appreciate this precious gift
