Although I’m a Buddhist, apart from karma, there are higher being, spirit guide, energy of vibration which are the concepts from western I also believe in. Actually I found their foundations are similar in some way. You might heard those idea, such as the law of attraction, you create your own reality, everything is vibration. They are all talk about that we’re the master of ourselves, we’re the universe and we can change everything with our mind. In science, it’s similar to quantum mechanics.
Although I’m a Buddhist, apart from karma, there are higher beings, spirit guide/spiritual guidance, energy of vibration which are the concepts from western religions/spiritual beliefs that I also believe in.

People may thinks it’s a lie that we create our own reality. In our experience, things not always follow our own wills. We’re limited in collective consciousness, so sometimes it’s difficult to manifest what we want. It doesn’t mean the collective consciousness disturb us, in contrast, we’re the prisoners since we believe in it so much. But it’s long story, better to get back to my experience.
People may thinks it’s nonsense that we create our own reality. In our experience, things do not always follow our own wills. We’re limited to collective consciousness, so sometimes it’s difficult to manifest what we want. It doesn’t mean the collective consciousness will disturb/influence/have an impact on us, in contrast, we’re the prisoners since we believe in it so much. But it’s long story, better to get back to my experience.

In one way, after I start to recognize those ideas, it helps me to perceive my status of present and adjust my emotions consciously. Since to raise the level of consciousness and self’s vibration is the only way to create a better result and environment. I learn to listen my inner voice to guide me, I believe everyone has spirit guide who is from higher dimension helping oneself to raise.

I believe everyone who has spirit guide from a higher dimension is helping themselves to raise.

So when I feel down and low, I will allow myself to stay in the situation to check my thoughts for a while. To find out what thoughts influence me and reset my behaviors or decisions.
So when I feel down and low, I will allow myself to stay in the status to observe/reflect my thoughts for a while and find out what kind of thoughts are influencing me and adjust my behaviors or decisions.

On the other hands, when something bad happens and I can’t make it better at all, thinking about karma is a good way to change my mood.

I think everyone should have faith, it can keep our mind optimistic while we’re suffering in a terrible moment and stay away from negative thoughts.

Reading

Matthew 13:
10 The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?”
11 He replied, Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.
12 Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.
13 This is why I speak to them in parables: “Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.

马太福音13章:
10门徒上前问耶稣:“你为什么要用比喻来教导他们呢?”
11耶稣回答说:“天国的奥秘只让你们知道,不让他们知道。
12因为凡有的,还要给他更多,他就丰富有余;凡没有的,连他仅有的也要夺去。
13我用比喻教导他们是因为他们视而不见,听而不闻,闻而不悟。
