Karma Lessons Made Easy

I love the book. The writer is a little narcissistic at times, but the lessons are worth learning. The client stories and comments are worth reading. I highly recommend this book and a related by called Karmic Relationships by Charles L. Richards, Phd

easy & interesting

I really enjoyed this book. A little too much about the author at first (I guess relevant to explanation). Very easy to follow, not a lot of mumbo, jumbo. To sum it up...helpful in understanding karma.

This book is a service to humanity

I have read this book carefully and thoughtfully. I find the author sincere and honest in how she uses her talents as a stewardship, which the author is doing here. I find this book helpful because of the real life stories she shares. It's a way to get a grasp on karma, one of the laws of the universe that many people do not understand. I have weighed her writings carefully and I think that in one case----the one about the hundred dollars-----could have been presented a little better. To visualize something a person wants, to create it non-harmfully depends on a couple of basic things. The need must be integrous. And two, the energy put 'out there' will not necessarily create negative karma if one adds "In the Name of the Highest Good". What this means is that a person is cognizant that harm may come from what is being asked for. In that case, if the item does not show up, then it would be harmful and the universe is being allowed to operate in harmony with the request and the laws. In a well known book about Kabbalistic Magick, the author writes that there are three types of magic. White. Grey. Black. In White Magick, the seeker is seeking to improve their spiritual lives without directly affecting others on the outer planes. In grey, the intention is honest and the outcome is for the personal self in gain, but not necessarily for the spirtual Self. In black magick, this is a mistake, one not necessarily intended to do harm, but in which harm has come. In this example by the author, a person 'puts out there' that he wants $1,000. It comes eventually, and he gets it through the death of a relative through a will. In the Name of The Highest Good would have prevented this. A few of the ideas seem to be coming from personal opinion, such as only a few gifted people have spirit guides. Such ideas can be taken with a grain of salt. However, I feel that this book is highly valuable through it's real life explnations of how the law of karma works in everyday life.

A great Teacher

Mary T. Browne never disappoints. In simple language, her lessons deliver understanding. In Love In Action, Mary T. explained how a life of service leads to fulfillment, satisfaction, peace and balanced karma. Life After Death explained the continuation of life and how karma always seeks balance. Like water seeking its own level, karma finds equilibrium in physical life or spiritual. No action lacks an equal reaction. Mary T. teaches that karma is action. The Power of Karma emphasizes this fact by supplying the reader with action. The serious reader has a supply of colored index cards and records the messages and keeps a Karma Journal. These exercises ensure that the reader/student is involved-action =karma.

Want to find out more about dealing with issues?

I absolutely loved this book. Mary Browne is apparently a fairly well known psychic, and she offers advice here in the form of cases from her files of clients dealing with life issues. The book summarizes the tales of the woman that can't stop spending money, of other women that feel they would be better off leaving their husbands for the men they are having affairs with, and many other interesting stories. Browne also discusses the issues of reincarnation and karma. She specifically goes into the effects on one's karma from various actions, which is interesting and believable, even if the concepts of reincarnation and karma are not ideas you believe in. The most interesting point of the book for me was the specifics she provided on going through past lives. For anyone that is interested in this kind of thing, you must pick up this book. I have already recommended it to one friend, and I believe she enjoyed it greatly. I need to get my mom to read this book, and plan to read more books by Mary Browne.
