Karma simplified

 Bettering Your Past,

Inevitably human predicament and knowledgeable about the craft.

Adapting Your Future

Eyes are gazing into tomorrow's picture

What goes around comes around. 

The sky isn't falling down

Don't hold onto a thoughtful frown

Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 

To give it to my loving friends to keep!

Weeping like candles their colored waxes agony of soul left a hollow outer form thorniest of problems 

Life is full of problems

Smile and weep wondering life is serious or not

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you give. 

Dependin' on the way you feel that you live.

In essence, karma tells us that whatever we do will come full circle to our doorstep—sometimes, somewhere.

Why me? Why not me? Why am I not healthy and robust

I never fussed

Destined to endure the worst in all seasons of life 

Face countless challenges and strife.

There is no time like Spring, 

When life’s alive in everything,

The sun so bright.

Life seems a dream,

no worries in sight

As thunderstorms boomed artilleries cracked

As insanity, brutality, calamity

Trickery, larceny, 

Everything faced

And human activity assaulted

suffer unbearably,

With a terrible sense of finality

Thoughts flit like a fragile bird with wings broken 

With griefs unspoken,

Taking a breath, feel like chokin',

In the fall Dreary weather and dreary days 

Before melancholy winter arrives

Winter's sleep akin to death,

Just take a deep breath

Because I am December born

Stars can't be torn 

The warrior can't be worn

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you—

because someday it will be done unto you.

 The Sanskrit word karma means “act,” “action,” “word” or “deed.” 

Suppression, wrong and greed

The law of karma as it is traditionally taught says that our thoughts, words and deeds—

positive and negative—

Create a chain of cause and effect, and that we will personally experience the effect of every cause we have 

set in mSeasoSeason  Karma, therefore, is our greatest ,

  Returning to us the good we have sent to others. 

It is also our greatest teacher, allowing us to learn from our mistakes.

The cycles of season are cycles of karma

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you—because someday it will be done unto you. 

Any day of life could be last of life or liberty, so small pleasures were worthy of pursue 

The Sanskrit word karma means “act,” “action,” “word” or “deed.” 

These days are reigned by greed

The law of karma as it is traditionally taught says that our thoughts, words and deeds—positive and negative—create a chain of cause and effect, and that we will personally experience the effect of every cause we have set in motion. 

How to shut off your emotions?

 If you didn't you'll explode

moved onward in the track valiantly, 

Imploding yet spirited in a revelry, 

 

Karma, therefore, is our greatest promoter, returning to us the good we have sent to others.

If I had my druthers

Man is a museum of diseases,

I would like to all rare cancers to cease

 A lodging of impurities ; 

Fire burn all our uncertainties

Water wash away impurities

He comes today and is gone tomorrow, 

He begins as building blocks from collapsing stars

Departs as the stardust returns to the Cosmos 

 While Karma is also our greatest teacher, allowing us to learn from our mistakes.

Because the law of karma gives back to us whatever we have sent forth as thought, word or deed, 

Some think of it as punishment.

 Not so. Values our greatest accomplishment

Think you were born the talents 

Good things that have happened to you in life. 

Now think about the limitations and challenges. 

Both have to do with  karma.

 Karma simply tells us that what happens to us in the present is the result of causes we ourselves have set in action in the past—whether ten minutes ago or ten lifetimes ago.

 The law of karma is the law of love.

 There is no greater love than having the opportunity to understand the consequences of our action—or our inaction—so that our soul can grow. 

Karma teaches us to love and to love and to love as no other process can.

 It gives us hope.

As you creep and grope

Along the slope

Motivated by hope

Share all our unique talents on the stage of life in only one lifetime?

The passengers whose destiny in this life may have been cut short through this disaster will also be given another opportunity to live and complete their soul journey.

Buddha tells us: “What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday.... If a man speaks or acts with an impure mind, suffering follows him as the wheel of the cart follows the beast that draws the cart.... If a man speaks or acts with a pure mind, joy follows him as his own shadow.”

As thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee. 

—book of Obadiah 

At the scene of his arrest, Jesus reiterates the law of karmic retribution.

 One of his disciples cuts off the ear of the high priest’s servant. 

Jesus tells his disciple to put his sword away, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.” 

Jesus then compassionately heals the man’s ear, blessing the servant and saving his disciple from reaping the karma of having harmed another.

The apostle Paul also sets forth the law of karma when he says, 

“Every man shall bear his own burden.... Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.... Every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.”

Although you may not have had a memory of a past life, you’ve probably had the sense of being familiar with a person or place on first contact. Perhaps it was meeting someone for the first time and feeling that you were already old friends, or having an instantaneous and inexplicable loathing for someone who just walked into the room.

There is a good reason why we don’t usually remember our past. God pulls down the shade, so to speak, when we enter the birth canal. This curtain of forgetfulness is an act of mercy. We have an assignment for this life and we can’t really focus on more than one life at a time and make a go of it.

Now and then God may show us a frame or two from a previous life episode. When we are allowed to take a peek at our karmic book of life, it is for a purpose. It may be to quicken our souls to remember the commitments we made before coming into embodiment. Perhaps we need to understand the underlying cause of a negative episode from the past so we can have compassion, forgive and move on. But it’s not essential to know all about our past lives in order to deal with our karma and make spiritual progress, and we shouldn’t force it. If God wants us to know, he will show us, one way or another.

A past-life memory is not something to be taken lightly. When you become aware of a past life, the karma of that embodiment comes to the fore. You can no longer ignore it. You may even become burdened by the memories. So one reason the records of past lives should not be opened prematurely is that we’re not always ready to deal with them or with the karma they bring into our lives. That’s why God only lifts the veil on our past lives when there is something our soul must learn from that memory and we can handle it.

Nutrition carcinoid syndrome

 Proper nutrition helps support cancer treatment goals for improving outcomes, improving quality of life, and minimizing nutrition-related side effects. What, when, and how you eat can help ease burdensome symptoms associated with neuroendocrine cancer.

With neuroendocrine tumors, smart nutrition may not necessarily be the same as the “balanced diet” you needed before your NET diagnosis.

Your doctors and other members of your healthcare team, such as a dietitian, can help you determine a diet that’s right for you; however there are some common foods you may want to avoid.

You will want to avoid foods that contain high levels of serotonin, such as some nuts, bananas, pineapples and tomatoes, especially before having a 5-HIAA urine test.

Avoid foods that contain high amounts of mines, nitrogen-containing organic compounds, as they can trigger the release of serotonin and other hormones. These foods include fatty meats, smoked or salted fish, aged cheeses, and even chocolate.

There are other changes you can make to your diet to better manage symptoms. For instance, you will want to consider portion size in your meals, as smaller, more frequent meals will be easier for your body to digest. This may lessen the symptoms of carcinoid syndrome you experience.

Spicy foods, caffeine, fructose, and alcoholic beverages should be phased out of your diet to help you manage carcinoid syndrome symptoms.

Choose foods and drinks that are gentle on your digestive system.

What to avoid eating if you have NET symptoms

To reduce the frequency and severity of gastrointestinal symptoms, try to reduce or cut out irritating food. If you’re experiencing digestive problems, avoid eating foods that are:

High fiber (insoluble fiber)

High amine

High fat

High sugar

High salt

High heat/hot spices (capsaicin)

High alcohol content

High in caffeine

Highly carbonated beverages

Highly processed foods

When and how to eat to help manage symptoms

Minor adjustments in when and how you eat can also help alleviate diarrhea for those with neuroendocrine tumors.

Eat small, frequent meals.  

Don’t drink while you are eating. Drink 30-45 minutes before a meal.

When and how to eat to help manage symptoms

Minor adjustments in when and how you eat can also help alleviate diarrhea for those with neuroendocrine tumors.

• Eat small, frequent meals.  

• Don’t drink while you are eating. Drink 30-45 minutes before a meal.

• Consume six to eight 8-ounce glasses of fluid a day. 

• Spread fluid out during the day, taking regular sips of water.  When you have diarrhea, drink no more than 4 ounces at a time.

• Freeze food items right away.  

• Dispose of aged, expired items. Throw out leftovers after 48 hours.  

• Pay close attention to food safety to avoid food-borne illness.

When asked to describe a healthy diet, Dr. Mechanick said that in order to maintain a healthy body weight and a BMI (body mass index) between 18.5 and 24.9, one’s diet should include the following:

7 to 10 servings per day of fresh fruits and vegetables

Up to 25 – 30 grams of fiber

Phytonutrients (also known as phytochemicals, the antioxidant, immune boosting and other health-promoting properties of active compounds in plants) from sources such as grains, legumes, and teas

Protein from food that is not rich in saturated fat, including lean meats, egg whites, beans and fish

Healthy fat found in monosaturated fat, including olive oil, avocados and other plant-based foods

Minimize foods rich in saturated fats and eliminate foods containing trans fats, such as those found in fast food

A healthy diet should be modified based upon individual genetic makeup, based upon age, chronic degenerative disease, and medical conditions.
