How Leftist Witches Misunderstand Karma

As I have mentioned, I have distanced myself from my leftist friends because of the karmic blowback I sense they have coming at them like a tsunami. I could be wrong and my avoidance of former pals could be all for nothing. I am willing to take that risk as I have become increasingly disgusted by the hypocrisy and detachment of my former allies. My distancing is also motivated by pure selfishness -- I don't want to be around if what I believe is coming for them actually appears on schedule. I don't relish being dragged down by people who are already at this time unhappy and toxic to be around.
I used to be unhappy in the same way most leftists are unhappy: I suffered severe depression. Though the thick of it happened in my teens, depression was a normal condition for me that only faded completely when I started doing the Sphere of Protection and discursive meditation every day as part of my Druid religion. I know the state of depression intimately. I know its manias and its black holes. I know its behaviors and false hopes. Most individuals on the left suffer from some form of depression or mania, and those who are able to keep their own subconscious inner turmoil at bay usually succumb to various forms of addiction, food addiction being the most common.
Trends have it that it is fashionable for leftists, especially women, to declare themselves witches. The number of good role models out there for the young witch are close to zero. Brought up on Harry Potter and American Horror Story, a young witch is sets out on her own with cartoon images of what magic is and does. Witches with street cred who should honestly know better set traps for her, insisting you can invoke the djinn or faeries or whomever and they will do your bidding to "free that imprisoned lightning to strike down injustice and bring home the consequences of their actions to those who perpetrate it." A newbie to the Path, she is already the victim of a glamour designed to get her to buy more cool stuff so she can get a larger Instagram following. She enters witchcraft as the victim of hostile magic. To make matters worse, she is depressed.
That's where the T-shirt store comes in. There are at least seven T-shirt stores selling this design called "Hex the Racists":
"Racists" are defined as anyone who isn't pro-rioter. It's presumed "racists" are white but non-whites also qualify if they are against rioters. David Dorn, a 77 year old black man who died via a rioter's bullet, is considered a racist against his own kind. I mentioned leftist hypocrisy, and the former example is unfortunately one of at least a million.
I have learned the hard way that it's a bad idea to hex people even if you are particularly good at hexing people. Karma works in mysterious ways, and one of the reasons I think leftists suffer pandemic depression, chronic pain, and insomnia is the hurt they've thrown around coming back to hit them where it counts.
When a commenter on the Hex the Racists T-shirt store post suggested one should not hex, all hell broke loose among leftist witches intent upon killing the messenger.
Abject terror of consequences for one's actions is a calling card among modern leftists, including those who do not lean towards the occult. This comes from a place of not being able to recognize one's own first world privilege and the high costs of that privilege to everyone who is not first world. Hence the immediate overreaction of "don't tell me how to walk MY path" and "your path isn't the only one!" as if consequences for one's actions where a matter of elective choice.
The OP comes back with (essentially) that you don't have to call it karma for it to work, and that's where we get a grandiose egomaniac informing us that she is karma. The grandiose egomaniac is a black woman, so immediately a sycophant rushes in with an appeasing "my daughter was molested and I hexed her abuser!"
The next page has another egomaniac making up rules that absolve her from natural law just as long as the hexed person was a racist or committed an act of violence. As we have established, a racist is anyone who doesn't emphatically agree with a leftist. Real racism does not have to be demonstrated to condemn someone as a racist, and real violence most likely includes people who say mean, disagreeable things that hurt the witch's feelings.
A bystander who I will call White Witch asks about the law of three and is quickly shot down with more arbitrary limitlessness. Christianity is fashionably denigrated, most likely because of that stuff Jesus said about "Do unto others".
The OP chimes in again with more mild suggestions of sending protection instead of flinging harm, again citing natural laws of energy bouncing around.
This upsets the "the rules are anything I say!" witch who now basically tells the OP to leave her alone. OP comes back with "this is just science, yo."
Egomaniac No. 2 comes in with "The hex IS the karma." I'm reminded of a scene from Judge Dredd.
Also notice my comment is the only one of this whole group that has zero likes, ha ha! Guess I did a good job of scaring them...
White Witch dares to complain about being crucified for asking about the Rule of 3.
She is given virtual hugs by the OP and another white witch. Then a creepy message aappears from Our Sponsor offering 30 percent off on a T-shirt to one of our hex-happy witches.
A popcorn-munching fence rider pops in to say she enjoys reading all the different opinions. Seems legit. A third grade flame war occurs between yet another "I make my own rules" witch and a witch who takes an agnostic approach yet cannot raise herself above primary school "BUT SHE SAID" butthurt.
Remember the witch who hates Christianity and makes up her own rules? She's back, insisting karma isn't for her because she said so.
A troll stops by to mention that karma applies only to Hindus.
Anti-Christianity, who must correct others on absolutely everything, graces that person with more of her wisdom about "tenants in different faiths".
Troll returns with a revelation about being Christian herself and more hatred of Hinduism because her God allegedly hates anything she has misinterpreted as being against God's will.
Egomaniac No. 3 burps out "A hex is an inconvenience. If I want to hurt you, I will curse you".
Just as magic exists without one's personal belief being necessary, karma exists with no belief needed from you or me, no matter how important we think we are in the scheme of things. Every now and then, karma is obvious, such as when the rioter tries to hurl a brick into a car window and it bounces back and hits him.
Karma usually isn't obvious and it takes a staggering amount of careful discursive meditation to understand the tiniest fraction of it. Unbeknownst to these witches, karma affects us through all of our incarnations. Like gravity, it never sleeps. The toxicity we see in the above thread is the result of spiritual ignorance and confusion. Who ever told these women to turn off the television and shut off the Instagram feed and consider the possibility you don't just live once? Karma isn't just for Hindus and neither is reincarnation!
For this reason, I have taken to leaving vengeance to the gods. Sure, I still get good and angry at people who have done colossally stupid things. Then I take a moment and remember that I too do colossally stupid things. My only recourse is my vow to be a better person than I was yesterday, if only by the slightest bit. You are all welcome to steal my affirmation for yourselves... no bad karma in that at all!

All you can do is step aside and let them learn their lessons on their own time.

2. Eating disorders
3. Money problems (though this is usually a matter of their perception, which is to say it is warped towards the negative/unappreciative)
4. Chronic pain
5. Chronic anxiety
6. Disastrous love relationships
I would be very rich, because most of them have more than one of these issues, and sometimes all six. I have been distancing these people because bad karma like they've been piling up with all their "I hope Corona strikes the masses in a second wave!" and "I support looters for BLM!" doesn't land neatly. I don't want to be around if all those bad intentions come to drag them to hell. It's the same as not wanting to live next to an active volcano.

Date: 2020-06-09 01:34 am (UTC)Magic to them is a way to virtue signal and posture and make it seem like they are doing something, when in reality all they are doing is arguing on social media and posing. I imagine if one of them actually got a magical result, they'd s*** their pants.
BTW
That leftist witch bingo is a howler! Can I share that?

Date: 2020-06-09 02:21 am (UTC)As for the person who racked up $854 at Amazon Go while ostensibly trying to loot it, why do I have a feeling that mommy and daddy provided the usual bail out for the would-be criminal activity? Much of leftist braggadocio is dependent upon their ample financial safety nets. If their parents or rich aunt/uncle or all of the above were to suddenly fall on hard times, we wouldn't see a quarter of the bluster on or offline. Essentially, they are bootlicking cowards who wish to become oppressors without all of the usual hard work.

Date: 2020-06-09 02:53 pm (UTC)I read John Michael Greer's blogs regularly. That is how I stumbled over here.
I am in the same situation as you. I have friends whom I thought were moral and stand-up people descend into madness over Trump. They are the point of forming a secret Facebook Group specifically to hex and curse him for his crimes and the deaths he has caused. Since I know about the group, it can't be super-secret.
What you have noted is true - they are constantly sick and depressed. I have also noted that they are upper class and think in those terms. They are also heroic victims of the patriarchy. They still think I am one of them even though I have informed them of how my husband is an avid Trump supporter. (One did tell me to divorce him after 45 years.) My background is much different since I grew up poor and in the backwoods of Maine in a town of 60 people. What they assume to be true, I have never encountered or have to figure out.
Anyway, it is a sickness that permeates everything where I live in Wash. D.C. I think it is going to end very badly for everyone. As for me, I am neutral about the President. Really. He doesn't rile me at all. I have a traumatic brain injury and probably process all of this emotion as if I was a Martian.
Thanks for the post.

Date: 2020-06-09 06:30 pm (UTC)Wow, a Facebook group just for cursing Trump? Not that I am surprised. The blowback they are setting up is incredibly obvious. As the upper class, they have been responsible for tremendous crimes and deaths just by occupying that class. For instance: Their clothing, like mine, was made in a third world sweatshop or a US prison. The difference is that the majority of my clothing was bought at a thrift store or used on eBay, so it is one generation removed from the sweatshop, removing much but nowhere near all of its bad karma.
First, congratulations on 45 years! I'm on 20 myself and my husband is an enthusiastic Trump supporter. Even the non-witchcraft left is throwing its bad intentions around with abandon. As a result, they can expect more depression, chronic illnesses, cancer, Parkinson's, you name it. It's possible their class may collapse financially, meaning they will become poorer in general. Not sure about that though; I tend to think they will always be cash rich. Nevertheless, all the money in the world doesn't mean squat if you can't eat the fancy food without excruciating pain and a nurse's assistant. People of that class often think not having lots of disposable cash for conveniences and trinkets is the worst outcome. They are profoundly naive in that sense.
I'm also neutral about the President as I expressed in this post: https://kimberlysteele.dreamwidth.org/3139.html Neutral isn't allowed in Trump Derangement Syndrome land though. They are binary thinkers and if you aren't with the woke brigade, you are automatically a punchable Nazi.
Personally, I think the best thing one can do right now (besides prayer) is to develop, maintain, and expand upon one's practical skills and to start a home-based business if you don't already have one. Facebook has become such a leftist cesspit, I have almost completely lost interest in it.
