40ozThugsta's post about karma prompted me to post the unofficial relationship between karma and meditation.
------------------
In Eastern cultures that believe in re-incarnation, they feel that the karma is credit/debit from past lives that keeps accumulating and deducting as you live your life. Now that is certainly hard to believe, prove or fathom, but the main reason the true "Saints"/"Preachers" (not the ones in it for money or fame) speak on Karma, is for you to live a clean moral life, so you do not keep adding Karma.
To expand on this, this is where meditation and the "3rd eye" comes into effect, these 'saint's' say, since the human body is "the temple of the living God" and that 'God' is within every person, if you meditate you can burn off karma and purify your soul.
The meditation techniques that these cats teach is to still your mind and try to tap into the 'light' and eventually you'll hear a ringing/bell 'sound' in your ears, the higher your soul reaches the more 'things' you will see, and then your soul can merge back into it's source, which is also known as "dying while living".
This also explains the fact that instead of looking inside themselves, people took the easy way out, and they starting lighting candles and ringing huge church bells, when what they were really looking for was right inside them the whole time if they could ever learn to control their minds.
Now I haven't experienced any of this so I can't say if it's real or not, but something to think about.
