karma is like any belief; a mere permission slip granting access to reality along a certain set of parameters. yes i understand there are analogues in physics and that the nature of reality is self-similar and fractal-like, and that therefor experience "should" follow a similar pattern. but it's not about breaking any rules, it's just getting smart about how you approach things. . . how you
use your experiences, rather than continuing to allow them to use you. it's not just karma that limits this endeavor, any system of belief which requires you to yearn for something or some state that, at this moment, lies beyond your grasp will continually ensure that what you seek remains just that: beyond your grasp.
this has fuck all to do with your thread waves but here's a bashar video that covers this pretty well, i think:
