about what exactly creates negative karma. Based on our

experiences with thousands of past life regressions, this is what

we have found.

Some actions that generate negative karma include

following:

* murder, even if you don’t get caught, unless it’s on yourself

defending

* steal, even if you don’t get caught and it doesn’t matter how

you justify it

* tell a lie that hurts another person in some way, even if

they don’t catch you and even if you believe your own lie

* intentionally hurting someone in any way

* not doing the “right” thing, causing someone to

more to suffer somehow

* resentment with someone; your anger can make you be

until you learn to forgive and, if appropriate, take

responsibility for your part of the conflict

* become addicted, if it hurts you or someone around you

you

* lack of self-respect to the point of causing personal harm (such as

as a martyr); yes you can earn good karma by helping

others through martyrdom, but you may still have to balance

a lack of respect for oneself

Some situations that are often believed to produce

negative karma, but do not include the following:

* make or acquire a large amount of money, provided that

you do it honestly

* have a lot of money and don’t donate a lot to charities;

the world is not your responsibility, but of course you win

karmic credits or, in some cases, repaying karmic debts

helping others, and besides, it feels good

* lie to protect someone, as long as you are not hurting

someone else in the process, or helping that person you are

protecting to avoid responsibility for their actions

* Break up with a partner, as long as you are not

responsibility

* divorce, as long as you take care of your responsibilities

and go in peace

* have sex without being married, as long as you are not

intentionally hurting someone (or yourself) in the process

* practice non-monogamy, as long as you are honest with

everyone involved, act responsibly and not

intentionally hurting someone in the process

* accidentally hurting someone in any way, but any fault

* homosexuality

* prostitution, provided it is between two consenting adults

and you are not intentionally hurting anyone in the process

* exceeding the speed limit, even if any associated fault

can create karmic ties

* have a few drinks, although if done regularly enough in

excess, you are disrespecting yourself and hurting yourself, therefore

incur negative karma

* be a single parent or have a child out of wedlock,

as long as you provide the child and be the best parent
