Is Karma Real? (Channeled Answer)
Why it might be time for you to move beyond this concept.
Today, Niv (the high-level guide I’m channeling here) wanted to discuss the idea of karma.
Highlights:
The idea of karma can serve as a prison.
A life without karma is a kinder approach where you can grow and flow.
Believing in karma can make you feel contained, which can be a good thing (like using training wheels). However, it’s time to discard the training wheels.
You can trust yourself. You are good at your core.
If you want to believe in an idea of karma, then only believe in its positive form—that since you are love and since you are exuding love, you will experience love all around.

Karma is an interesting concept, for it can serve as a prison.
It is an idea that works well for certain developmental levels. It is, as you could say, appropriate for them.
However, there comes a time when you want to discard it—just like you would discard training wheels. We, in the higher realms, do not believe in karma. For what good would it serve to do so? What good is there in punishment for wrong actions when you could just stop doing what does not feel right?
A life without karma is a kinder, more flowing approach. You can grow. You can learn. You can do better and better all the time. That much is assured. But you do not need the threat of punishment. For what is karma but the idea of punishment to be good?
You are good at your core. And yes, sometimes it's easy to forget. But the solution to a challenge is not to add more challenges to it. The solution to pain is to soothe that pain, not to exacerbate it.
So if you want to play around with an idea, we encourage you to play around with the idea of leaving karma behind. It was a thing that might have worked for you in the past. It might have inspired you to do better.
Sometimes, being contained can be a good thing. We're still learning how to do things, similar to the training wheels and bicycles. They have their time and space. But the time and space for karma is not now.
You've moved beyond the training wheels. It's time to discard them. It's time to experience freedom. It's time to do the right thing because it's the right thing, because it feels good for you, because it feels aligned. You already have an inner system telling you how to act appropriately. You don't need a punitive concept to keep you on the right track.
You can trust yourself. You can trust that over this lifetime and over the uncountable other lifetimes and existences, you have learned a thing or two about appropriate behavior. You do not wish to hurt people. And so you won't. Even without a threat looming over your head. Let go and go with the flow and the truth of your own being.
You do you. And that, my friend, will be a really, really good thing. And it will lead to so much more blossoming than the idea of karma could.
If you want to believe in an idea of karma, then only believe in its positive form. And the idea that since you are love and since you are exuding love, love will be there to meet you time and time and time and time again from all these places. And same for every other positive quality you possess, whether that's wisdom, or kindness, or compassion, caring, joy, fun, all of these. Expect to see them in the world out there.
Let's not call it karma, though. Let's call it alignment—you aligning with what's good out there with what's good in you, so that there's inner and outer harmony.
Can you see how that feels so much more enlightening, life giving, life affirming than the idea of karma? So henceforth, drop the idea of karma and take up the mantle of alignment. And I will see you on the other side of that shift. For I am aligned with all things that are good within you. And I cannot wait to meet them.
Farewell, my friend, for today. And we will talk very soon.
