The Law of Freedom, Part 5: Karma and Free Will

The Law of Freedom correlates with the idea of Karma, and requires Free Will to operate. The way some can envision karma related to injustice is flawed, as it doesn’t encompass free will’s crucial role.

Collective Negative Karma

Karma can be positive or negative, and individual or collective (see Part 4). For the Law of Freedom which deals with the aggregate/collective (and how persistent immoral behavior creates the state of enslavement), the negative karma present is mostly about the collective receiving negative consequences (aggregate K1) from the injustices. This is from a failure to apply consequences (K2) to the violators which would stop the persistent immorality.

I hit you, you get hurt. Instant. (K1: negative result to other)
You hit me back, I get hurt. Instant. (K2: negative result returned; personal, direct negative karmic consequence)

We, overall, decide we are going to have rulers rule us and decide things for us. They control us and decree things that are moral as “immoral”, or immoral as “moral”. E.g. you are not allowed to do X without an injection: we get delayed, collective, negative consequence (K1) for the action of supporting a system of centralized authority over others.

Purpose of Karma: Learn from Mistakes

What purpose does the idea of karma have? What purpose do negative karmic consequences have? Learning lessons of what not to do. Learn from mistakes via suffering/harm/chaos. Do something, and if you get a negative result to yourself for doing it (automatically or from the response of another free will) then you don’t do it again (stub toe; start a fist fight).

If you don’t get a negative result, then you learn that you can repeat that behavior without consequence because you get no negative for doing it. This process of learning requires memory. Not having memory of your action and the causal consequence thereof, means there is no learning and you end up repeating things over and over without knowing if they are beneficial or detrimental, to yourself or others. History is the passing down of (true or false) memory to future free wills to learn from, and ideally not have to learn from doing the actions themselves.
