We are Creators

We are living out the thought lives of our Past.
It is important that we are careful to not react negatively (nor positively but more preferable) to our present circumstances and life happenings.
For what we think about now (about people, events) will play out in our future lives.
Our thoughts are mental creations conditioned by powerful emotions
Therefore once set in motion there is no retracting.
There is no setting off; only a paying off.
No amount of good deeds set off bad ones.
Each will play out its course - good for good; bad for bad.

So the real lesson for each of us is to be ever watchful of our thoughts and emotions.
This will depend on our character which is how we view the world and make sense of it.
If we are opinionated and judgemental which is how the rational mind makes sense of life we will spawn our future accordingly.
Which is why the sages advice us not to have opinions, not to judge, not to be too emotional (for emotions is like the salt that sets the dye colour into the cloth; it sets the karma into our cellular structure), not to react but act... etc. etc.
It is simply so that we do not create negatively, passionately, emotionally.

As we become stable and neutral, our lives will be more placid and peaceful.
As we grow inwardly so too our external lives reflect our inner state.
As is said we create our lives with our thoughts.
How true!
