That would mean that a sixth-density negative entity would have very little karma, since it can presumably control just about all interactions.
BTW, qqliudl, feel free to jump in here and get this thread back on track!
I leave it to the group, and qqliuid in particular, to offer if we pick up the 2nd part of the question/thread, or side-track, as conversations are wont to do, to this one? We may offer this as a different thread entirely should you wish qquild? I thank you 'βαθμιαίος' for your response (btw: forgive me for being naive, is this a foreign language, alphabet, and name, and if so it's meaning, or unique?). I suppose my conundrum is that I see the term karma more or less in the colloquial sense, as opposed to your question which lies more towards polarity. Failure to control verses failure to accept is depolarizing to be sure for either. Where is the karma and what does it look like is more my question as regards the left hand path? I would offer that most of the community here, as well as else where, even superficially versed in esoteric literature, or even with a nominal main-street understanding of the term Karma, might be able to offer untold examples of the way karma might look. But I would also offer that in most, if not all examples offered, that it would almost always show up as a balancing more for the right hand path verses of what an example might look like for karma as regards the left hand path. To be factitious, is one traversing the left hand path then loved, respected, revered, honored, and forgiven all the more, until he recoils in the love and light as his punishment? If he were to love to a fault, does he then return to be loved even more as a punitive lesson to teach him to manipulate and control again? What does karma look like for the left hand path? If he has done horrific things to other selves, then presumably he's pretty damn good at what he does, and as a result reaps the reward for being generally a pretty nasty guy. So then, as a thought exercise, what if he turns in battle out of love or camaraderie to save his comrade the fellow nasty? Does he lose for having done so by being loved, honored, and eternally thanked by said comrade and family, rather than having continued the battle? STO not only depolarizes when he fails to love, but returns to suffer in obvious form if he overextends. How does STS return for having made the same mistake of overextending by not controlling, not manipulating, not overpowering etc? Even in the Ra quotes offered above, I find the karma definition to be more, if not altogether, offered as regards the right hand path.
