There is no karma to master or overcome

The essence of karma in the Gnostic model is not reward and punishment, as seen in the Abrahamic creed of divine retribution and, in another way, in the Hindu-Buddhist doctrine of rebirth.

 

Rather, it is pure compulsivity that feeds on itself and gets rutted in patterned repetition.

 

The deal with the archons binds every human act to corporal entrainment, so that an act done automatically tends to produce a similar act or an opposite, compensating act, by the same person. The key idea here is entrainment, which is what hiemarmene means.

 

The chain of karmic bondage does not cause a kind deed to generate another kind deed, nor does it cause an evil deed to generate another evil deed, qualitatively speaking. It just causes any kind of deed to become repetitive and take on a life of its own.

 

This being so, someone who harms others is condemned by their own actions to continue doing so until they self-correct - or until someone else corrects them, or stops them, dead cold.

 

Repetition compulsion forces the doer toward self-correction, or else the sheer physical entropy of repetition will eventually undo the doer.

This is how Sophia sets up human karma: without a reward and punishment system, except for the reward or punishment that one inflicts on oneself by blind, compulsive action.

 

A genuinely free act has no merit or detriment, no mechanically derived consequence for the doer.

 

Repeat:

liberated action has no external or extraneous consequences for the actor. Its consequences, if any, inhere in the sheer pleasure of its performance, the gesture in perfect transience.

The common sense conclusion of this arcane behavioral diagnostic is:

those who do harm will continue to do it and never attract punishment from the cosmic order, for there is no such system of retribution.

 

Then they will either see what they are doing and self-correct, or just do it to the end when they wear themselves out, or self-destruct in a violent blow-out - if they are not stopped by someone else first.

The option of self-correction means that there is no accountability from outside the sovereign will of each solitary individual.

 

There is no cosmic system of moral compensation. There is no ordained justice in the universe, although justice can occasionally be attained by human initiative in certain situations. The evil-doer who harms and deceives others, and who cannot self-correct, can only be stopped by another individual, in direct and first-hand interaction.

 

How many Hollywood films demonstrate that obvious truth?
 

 Anarchy at Last 

Karma as moral compensation is a lie, but the behavioral game of hiemarmene works exactly as it is intended to work.

 

The game is rigged by the archontic bias that Sophia allows:

the trancing factor or power of suggestion.

The mechanism of moral entropy operates in the human body, in the physiological and neurological circuits that sustain behavior and retain behavioral patterns.

 

If Sophia did not allow it to happen this way, we would experience total resilience of mind and body, bounding from one moment of peak expression to the next, correcting and improving ourselves in every single action taken. But we would never fool ourselves and become that much wiser by catching the act.

 

Due to compulsion, we run down and wear out, behaviorally speaking.

 

But overcoming compulsion gives us a lift, a special elan, that does not arise in the constant unhindered thrust of our potential. Archons provide the resistance against which we generate a an ever-higher release of potential. From Sophia's view, it's a fair trade-off: without that challenge to our potential, we would not go for the optimal scope of our species. With the challenge, the archons get to play their game.

 

But self-correction can be realized in each and every situation where they intrude.

Above I noted that a good deed does not seek compensation. Or it if does, prudential morality is at work.

"In The Faith of a Heretic Kaufmann argues that Judeo-Christian morality 'does not know the value of a deed done for its own sake,' without expectation of reward (or punishment).

'The ethic of the Old Testament is an ethic of prudence and rewards, as if the point were that it pays to be good' "

(Not in His Image).

It don't pay to do good, that is just a brutal fact.

 

It can, but not necessarily. But in the expression of innate goodness, no payoff is sought. Or needed. It is worth noting that there is often more vigor involved in doing harm than doing good.

 

Evil, malicious people can be possessed of truly demonic determination.

"The best lack all conviction, while the worst / Are full of passionate intensity".

(Yeats, The Second Coming)

Why? Because to persist in doing harm you have to work vigorously against the natural order of things, and the benign disposition of the human animal, but the archontic entropy that informs blind compulsion increases as you resist it.

 

To overcome that entropic bias requires continually hyping your system, ratcheting up your forces. This goes some way to explaining the success of Starbucks, doesn't it?

On the other hand, it is natural to act in goodness and go with the flow of the universe, co-operating with the beauty and elegant functionality of life. One never tires from doing good and so one doesn't have to make a super-effort to persist in that behavior - to which we are naturally disposed, as Pagan ethics affirms. But perpetrators can thrive on the amplification of vital force required to persist in abusive and controlling behavior.

 

Another brutal truth of the way things are in the human condition.

There is no karma as it's been pitched to us. No one has the authority to hold you accountable for what you do, not even God. Not even Sophia, the planetary mother animal. Only you can do that for yourself.

 

An-archy is composed of the root arch, found in archon. An-archy is the condition of being "not- or un-archonic."

 

Anarchy is against all authority except that which resides in the sovereign will of an individual person. There is no such thing as karma considered as a system of reward and punishment. That is a bald fabrication of old men for intimidating children.

 

You are free to do whatever you like in life, and treat people just as you wish with no prescribed moral regulation of any kind.

"Do as thou wilt," as Crowley notoriously advised.

That adage is just a little under half of an essential truth, and a most dangerous half-truth, indeed.

 

The other half is, whatever you do happens in a pattern of blind compulsion, unless you see that pattern and break through it. Then you are really free to do as you will; but unfree of compulsion, you can't realize what free will actually is.

 

Freedom depends not merely on the liberty and capacity to act, but on action free of patterned repetition, blind compulsion, archontic entropy, heimarmene.
 

 Kali's Game

Karma is a rigged game. Liberation from karma comes first with seeing how it is rigged, how the archontic spin induces auto-suggestion and clouds perception, and then by simply choosing not to play that game.

 

In a liberated view, there is no karmic law by which you may gauge the cause and effect of your actions.

 

Imagine how that kind of freedom feels.

At this late date in human history, it may well be time to admit how human compulsion is rigged by an adulterating force in the mind. Everyone is equally subject to the trancing factor, but not all people succumb to it to the same degree. Some human specimens are entirely consumed by it.

 

They become totally archontified. They shop and kill with equal abandon. There are plenty of them running around these days.

 

So we find a cabal of psychopathic control-freaks managing human affairs. Big surprise. Orchestrations of archontic behavior are by now so painfully obvious on the global scale that Sophia may be looking us over with a keen eye to the test she set for us, checking on the results.

 

Every single problem in the world at large is rigged, orchestrated, deliberately instigated and deceitfully implemented and managed:

the food crisis is rigged, the financial meltdown is rigged, mass media are rigged, entertainment is rigged, democratic elections are rigged, statistics are rigged, education is rigged, epidemics are rigged, vaccines for epidemics are rigged, Google is rigged, the immanent UFO invasion is rigged, anthropic global warming is rigged, WW III is rigged, terrorism is rigged.

How much rigging does it take before we snap to the way karma works and see through the blind collusion of a self-deluded species?

The single decisive factor in the much-heralded "planetary shift" may be, not a massive spiritual awakening across the globe with everyone suddenly vibrating to the higher frequencies of their light-bodies, but some agreement on this elementary perception: the only problems of human society that cannot be solved in a relatively happy and productive fashion are deliberately created ones.

 

Were it not for those problems, we might all be working things out quite well. But you cannot win a game rigged for you to lose.

But there is good news, too, in this excruciating diagnostic that now grinds to an end. Seeing how the game of karma is rigged brings liberation on Kali's terms, that is, according to the metaphor of gaming which resolves all forms of human behavior in Kali Yuga. (Translation: In Kali Yuga, any situation can be mastered by putting it into the metaphor of gaming.)

 

It could be said that Sophia cut the deal with the archons, but Kali sees out the deal.

 

She oversees human enmeshment with demonic powers of deceit and manipulation. She is called Durga, "invincible," because no archontic or demonic impulse in the universe can defeat her. Kali liberates humankind from all illusions, including the illusion of compassion.

Like Kali, Sophia loves to gamble, to play the odds. This is evident all through nature in the way Sophia throws the evolutionary dice lavishly for a minutely selective win.

 

The planetary animal mother is indeed teleological, goal-oriented, but she plays wildly with chance and novelty to keep the margins of her world open and fluid. She loves running through the odds like an autistic child conjugating square roots to 50 decimal points. The Gnostic scenario of hiemarmene shows how Gaia-Sophia has set up a precarious gamble pitting humankind against itself with the archons for leverage.

 

Kali oversees the game for a particular purpose, because admission to Kali's Game becomes an option upon getting out of the rigged game. You do not beat that archontic game, you just get off it.

 

There is no karma to master or overcome.

 

The act performed for its own beauty and pleasure is already a Kalika initiation.
