What is karma in a New York minute?
It goes like this: there’s a wheel, and it’s small, and it goes around. It gets to this point, and at this point, you could listen. But if you don’t, it goes around again. Then it gets bigger and comes to that point where you could make another choice, another decision. But you don’t, so it gets bigger. And then it gets bigger, and bigger, and bigger, until the Mac truck comes.
Perhaps, at this point, you’re listening. You may decide to heal, to stop your life, choose a different direction, or self-reflect. Whatever it is, you begin to do the work that is necessary for your soul. When you do that—therapy, meditation, spiritual teachers—eventually, you will reach the end point.
When you get to that doorway or gate, where you have completed everything that needs to be done, there will be a shattering. It may look like glass breaking, or a gentle hit in the car, or something being lost, something being broken. This is the universe giving us signs, for we have entered the end of one chapter and the transformation into another.
This is the natural order of things, like nature—like planting a seed and watching a flower bloom, like going to sleep at night and waking up in the morning. This is the natural evolution of things, and it is something we can trust. It gives us assurance that, no matter how things look, we live by the natural order.
When we finish a very significant part of our life, it is a transition point. It is a karmic point, and there will be a shattering. So pay attention to when it happens.
