ZetaTalk: Rule of Forgetfulness

Note: written Oct 15, 1996.

Forgetfulness occurs naturally. When an entity incarnates into a human body, the mind naturally has no knowledge of past lives. The mind develops memories from what it experiences, observes through its senses, and concludes due to

the mental processes resulting from all this. Thus forgetfulness is natural, and breakthroughs where the spirit has an opportunity to relay bits and pieces of a past life rare. The Rule of Forgetfulness is not an imposed rule, it is a rule of nature. However, given that incarnations work this way, and incarnations have proven to be the fastest way young spirits grow and mature, no one is rushing forward to bring a newly incarnated body up to date on what has happened before. In fact, such a process can delay maturity or skew the eventual decision the entity makes on its first lesson, the orientation lesson. Imagine instances in life given no knowledge of past decisions or full knowledge of past decisions.

A mother, cuddling her newborn infant, sees its helplessness and dependence on her and imagines the feelings of

abandonment and desperation such an infant would feel if not held and loved and rescued when distressed. The

mother, being basically a caring person, and the incarnating entity inclined toward the Service-to-Other,

proceeds to care for the infant with great affection and pride in herself for her competence. If in past lives the

entity incarnating had deserted a new born, to ease the pressure on herself, and all the memories of this past

incident were remembered, then the current situation would be colored with guilt and shame and in particular,

the strong memory of what caused the abandonment in the first place. The mother might defend her prior action

by repeating it, as a way of saying to herself that she had done nothing wrong. Or the mother might look around

warily, looking for evidence that she need be on guard again, rather than caring for her newborn.

A man, on the job with others whom he is competitive with while at the same time these same others are his

friends. A promotion opportunity comes up, and there are several candidates. The man has seen one particular

co-worker working long hard hours and knows this co-worker to be more competent than the others. Putting

himself in the place of this co-worker and imagining the hurt that would come from being bypassed, especially

when the best choice, the man decides to back his friend, rather than compete with him. In the current

incarnation, the entity does not foresee distress at losing out, as win or lose the promotion there will be enough

to go around for all. If the human were aware of what the entity experienced in past lives, where the entity may

have focused solely on what was to be gained over what the impact on others might have been, his focus during

the current situation might be pulled in the direction of entertaining thoughts of what the additional money could

buy, or what power the new status might bring one.

Thus, forgetfulness allows the entity to move through circumstances that were similar to past circumstances, trying them out with a different approach and consequently experiencing a different outcome.

ZetaTalk: Karmic Justice

Note: written Apr 15, 1996.

Where karma on a personal level does not pass from one life time to another, it could be said that karma between

intelligent species does exist, in the same manner that a type of karma exists between nations or social groups on Earth. Look to the American Negro, who long after their emancipation as slaves are still exacting karmic justice from their white overlords. Look to the economic rights America grants to Japan, whom they dropped the bomb upon. This

type of karma occurs because it is written in the conscience of those who enact it, not because it is imposed from without. A type of karma between intelligent species from different worlds may reflect this kind of regret or concern, but may also be imposed by the Council of Worlds.

An example is ourselves, who ruined our home planet, making it unlivable for surface habitation, and who are now

here trying to prevent the same situation from occurring on Earth. We do this voluntarily, but were selected to

participate as genetic engineers on the hybrid program in part because we mourn for our planet and thus are expected to be highly motivated to assist our human contacts in their efforts to prevent a similar tragedy on Earth.

However, beyond this type of voluntary karmic justice, there is no karma enforcement. Alien groups that harm each other, purposefully or accidentally, proceed based on their orientation, not because they are ordered to do so or in essence cursed in some way by some court on high. If of the Service-to-Other orientation, their regret may take many forms but will surely be expressed, in all likelihood as assistance. If of the Service-to-Self orientation not a backwards glance will be cast. We should point out that in these interactions the Service-to-Others and Service-to-Self groups are affecting each other, unless they have engaged within the strictures imposed by the Rules of Engagement. Karma,

therefore, exists as a voluntary action only, from the heart.

ZetaTalk: On the Record

Note: written Nov 15, 1995.

In human society graduation or status is often based on earned credits, and for this a written record is important. The record substitutes for insight, as two men standing before a third may look and talk the same, but have vastly different capabilities
