"Do you believe that planet Earth holds karma? Plausible! I believe that our beautiful blue planet receives good and bad energies and acts as a living entity in dealing with them. It is not the planet that brings about her negative karma, but the beings that live on her surface that share karma with her. To be cleansed, she does what she does best, she changes over time to discharge negativity. History repeats itself, and mankind would do well to heed the Earth's actions in terms of weather variations and seasonal issues as well as direct human factors like war. We can change ourselves one person at a time, and by doing so, lend to the overall positivity of Earth." ~ Freda M. Chaney, KARMA ROAD

"Are you nursing negative karma, and keeping yourself from moving forward because the bad feels good? I mean a good kind of familiar? In order to shed bad karma, we need to recognize when we are stuck in a comfort zone even when it is not so comfy for us!
If you've ever watched the movies where the battered wife goes off to a women's shelter only to return to the husband who beat her, you will know exactly what I'm talking about! This is more common than you think! I was a Youth Advocate and foster parent for five years, and I worked with women who tended to hold on to husbands and boyfriends at the risk of losing custody of their own children. It is hard to understand, but this is also a karmic energy pattern. In order to break this cycle of negative karma, we must first be honest with ourselves. We must WANT a positive lifestyle more than anything else, more than the comfort zone!" ~ Freda M. Chaney, KARMA ROAD Dear KARMA ROAD blog peeps,
If you've read from the HOME page through to this blog post, then you know how enticing the beginning of the first chapter of KARMA ROAD is, and you will also know if you would buy this book in e-book format if it were on the market. If you have not visited the home page and read the first few sentences of KARMA ROAD, please do so now. I have some opportunities available to me, and I'm testing the waters. Please comment or click LIKE below to let me know if the lead-in entices you to buy this incredibly mysterious book. THANK YOU! Freda Above: George Eliot painting by Granville White with permission from the George Eliot Fellowship. "The overwhelming parallels between George Eliot and myself seem to point to a previous association with the 19th century novelist. I do not profess to have her genius or her writing aptitude. When writing my book about Eliot, reincarnation, and karma, I decided to make all of the comparisons and let the chips fall where they may.
Mine is a personal story of two individuals who struggled against seemingly insurmountable odds to become successful in their respective time periods. Eliot struggled against a male-dominated society, strict religious underpinnings, and expectations of her culture. I struggled against a male-dominated family, the loss of my mother at an early age, and the emotional landslide that left me ill-prepared to cope with life. This is an important book for our generation, especially for women who are still locked into a 19th century mindset with regards to cultural and societal expectations. The end goal of my book is for all of us to learn to release bad karma and form our own unique ways of coping in the modern world." ~ Freda M. Chaney "So many souls waste time and energy seeking the answers everywhere but within themselves. In fact they spend lifetimes doing this. Life is not complicated really...It is very simple...It is simplicity itself...But you make it complicated. When you find life is getting too much for you...Stop-and look at a child. Life is not complicated for a child...It lives fully in the moment enjoying what it is doing." ~ God at Glastonbury speaking to Eileen Caddy from the book FOUNDATIONS OF FINDHORN, Findhorn Publications, 1976
"So what does Gregg Braden's FRACTAL TIME theory have to do with karma? Here's what I think! If you have not read Gregg's book, get it now and study how to watch for repeating cycles in your life by listing the dates when predominantly good or bad things happened. You will begin to see a pattern.
Using this list of repeating dates, go to the back of Braden's FRACTAL TIME and find the formula he created to determine when your good or bad cycles will return. This is an amazing exercise in taking a stark look at your life and controlling repeating circumstances (karma) in your life. Here's a video to get you started! http://youtu.be/J9mrWuGH_Fw " ~ Namaste! Freda M. Chaney "KARMA CAMP RULES: Life is simple really. Do what you enjoy and if at all possible, get paid for it! Try to love everyone, but be extra attentive to those who give you all they've got each day. Don't judge others if you are doing the same thing and just haven't been caught yet! Stand for causes, but don't fall for them unless you are certain of their integrity. Smile at strangers because they need to know someone cares. Always do your best, and at the end of the day, let it rest. Be divine always because you ARE." ~ Freda M. Chaney, KARMA ROAD
"We hear so many speaking of a 'higher self' but what does that really mean? I like to think of the higher self as the spiritual collective wisdom from past lives and associations, presenting itself as connected energetically with the physical body. The bodily self is animated by the energy from the higher self as well as the energy from the maintenance of the physical body. You can say there are two selves: spiritual and bodily selves, but there are really many selves as the soul imprint from past lives are part of a collective residing in the higher self.
Explaining it to myself this way helps me to understand that there IS divinity within and that the negative energy imprints from the past can be held until they are discharged, the same way a student is moved on to the next lesson or grade level when he scores well on a test. It is up to us to choose a correct karmic path. We may unload negative karma and keep that which is positive karma from the past. Either way, we are in control." ~ Freda, KARMA ROAD: GETTING OFF THE ROUND ABOUT "Every thought, word, and act has a consequence. Releasing your desire to control an outcome will free you from having to deal with karma. Think of the cat who swats at the fly in the window until he brings it down. The problem is not solved after one 'hit' because there are more and more flies the cat will need to swat. Consequently, the cat is busy endlessly chasing and swatting, and never truly satisfying its need for completion of the task.
The same goes for the hamster in the wheel who runs until he is exhausted and gets absolutely nowhere. He will face the wheel again after he regains strength. The outcome in both situations is the same, but the cat and the hamster will never stop their need to control something which they cannot seem to control. People are neither cats nor hamsters, but they take on the same tasks day in and day out as though they have some control over the outcome when often the answer is to simply observe and allow." ~ Freda What do we have to learn about momentary pleasure and its consequences? The law of cause and effect is perhaps the greatest teaching of the Buddha. http://youtu.be/odlZDiez0xU
