Karma translates to action in Sanskrit. Action is sticky in the sense that all actions in the mental, emotional, and physical realms create identity, habit, and traumas extending in all those realms. Bad Karma is bad trauma and it is inherited in three ways.
The first is through family lineages shaping childhood experiences. Children are very sensitive to their environment and parents and the hurts, habits, and hang-ups of the ancestors affect a person down to their DNA and also the subtle body.
The second main way Karma transfers are through experiences impressing upon a person's subtle consciousness. In deep ways, beneath the conscious mind, people pick up the karma in lives before they were born. C.G. Jung called these collective memories. Individuals inherit stories that have occurred in the entire collective of humanity. It occurs in what St. Paul describes as predestination. Before birth, we are given a destiny and that destiny is shaped by pre-birth experiences, whether it's from the ancestors or the collective of humanity. Our job in this life is to become aware of these forces and take full possession of it. C.G. Jung tells it like this: "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life, and you will call it fate."
Underneath the stories and thoughts we tell ourselves, Are deeper components to the stories. These are the archetypes of karma and they operate in a multitude of ways: Primary Hungers, Primary defenses, primary lifestyles, primary expectations and beliefs, imprint vulnerabilities, scripts, and more. I will explain what each of these mean in future interactions. You just need to know that identifying the patterns in your life is what this work is all about and naming them is the first step to creating a spiritual experience that reshapes the components beneath our thinking. Many layers exist and many sessions are needed to shift the lifestyle and perceptions of a person.
