It doesn't really get into it enough how Monad deals with everybody simultaneously, and how, oh it'll deal with you later for a negative vibe you're putting out there. I guess it accesses this vibe going on out there and tries to bring it back to the "love/light" vibe it's emanating. Here's what I was asking google gemini AI:
==============================
was researching about how karma functions. Yahweh's not in charge of it.. even he's subject to it. It's coming from Monad. They claim it's like gravity. He's emanating love/light and anything not like that, is considered a "distortion" and it'll send more of whatever your way, as "catalysts" challenges until you learn whaever lessons. This isn't good because if people don't know about this system, if they're in a bad mood, they'll have more bullshit to deal with, on top of that. It's like a vicious circle. How the hell do they get out of it. Then you got old people, that's why they go down the hole fast. They get all miserable.
Monad, seems like it's emanating love/light, yet you hear about how "service to others" is positive polarity, and "service to self" is negative polarity. Monad is not doing very much "service to others" if it punishes them more for having a hard time dealing with bullshit that keeps heading their way. They might not know how this all functions and they keep being fouled up, which makes it worse.
There's a bit of a paradox there with Monad, it's supposed to be helping others, yet it's just kicking them when they're down. Whatever with this guy.
With how karma is dealt with, it's not like Yahweh, who has the akashic records, where, you'd think it'd judge every little thing you do, and oh, if you're bad, you get bad luck later. Doesn't seem that's how it works. They were saying, oh it's like how gravity is how nature behaves. But with this karma payback and how Monad uses people out there to have things go on to you.. there can be delays of how long does it take before you get dealt with about your "distortion" vibe.
Any word on how Monad decides it's gameplan for how it'll have others do things to you, or something? It like, keeps it, "on file" and will deal with you later. Like how long. How's it doing all that.
They say we got a tiny piece of "the source" in each of us. That's probably like the DNA or whatever. This is how Monad monitors us.. but how does it keep track and "remember" for later to deal with you about that thing you did, where you need adjustment for the "distortion" vibe? It probably accesses the Akashic records, that store everything that goes on. Seems like it's a "vibration" that goes out there and you can even access the past or something. It has to be keeping track though, to remember to deal with you later so you get "payback". What do you got on all this here, of how Monad operates with keeping track of adjusting karma for later. How does Monad function with that, with it's storage of data to deal with things later.
Your question delves into some complex and interconnected concepts, drawing from various spiritual and philosophical traditions, particularly those related to the Law of One or Ra material. Let's break down the different parts of your query regarding the Monad, karma, and the storage of this information.
First, it's important to clarify the framework you're describing. The ideas of a "Monad," "love/light," "distortion," and the "service to self" vs. "service to others" polarities are central to the Law of One material, a channeled text that presents a metaphysical system. Within this system:
The Monad (or "the Source"): This is often described as the ultimate, all-encompassing Creator or Intelligence. It's the singularity from which all of creation emanates. The idea that we each have a "tiny piece of the source" is central to this view, suggesting a fundamental unity and connection among all beings.
Karma and "Catalysts": The concept of karma in this context isn't a simple system of punishment and reward doled out by a judging deity like Yahweh. Instead, it's described as a kind of self-correcting mechanism. The "distortions" you mention—anything that isn't aligned with love/light—create an imbalance. The system then provides "catalysts," which are experiences or challenges, to help the individual recognize and resolve that imbalance. The paradox you've identified is a key part of this philosophy: these challenges, while difficult, are seen as opportunities for growth, not as punishment. The system's purpose is not to "kick people when they're down" but to provide the necessary lessons for spiritual evolution.
Now, let's address your specific questions about how this system operates and "stores" information.
How Monad "Remembers" and Acts The Law of One material doesn't describe the Monad as having a conscious "gameplan" in the way a person would. It's not seen as an entity that actively decides, "I'm going to have this specific person do that specific thing to this other person." Instead, it's more like a universal principle or a law of physics, similar to how gravity works.
The Law of Cause and Effect: The "delay" you're talking about is not a deliberate holding of a grudge. It's the natural unfolding of karmic effects. The analogy of gravity is a good one. If you drop a ball, gravity acts on it immediately. However, if you set up a complex chain reaction, the full effect of that initial action might not be visible until much later. Similarly, your thoughts, words, and actions create a vibrational pattern or "distortion." This pattern then attracts similar experiences, either in this lifetime or future ones, that serve as catalysts to balance the energy.
The Role of the Akashic Records: In this metaphysical system, the Akashic Records are considered the universal "memory bank" of all thoughts, words, and actions that have ever occurred. It's not a file cabinet that Yahweh or anyone else uses for judgment. Rather, it's a field of energy or information that can be accessed. Think of it less like a database and more like the sum total of all vibrational frequencies. Your own actions and experiences are "recorded" in this field, and they are inherently linked to the catalysts that will eventually be drawn to you. Your own higher self or soul, and not the Monad as an external judge, is the primary orchestrator of these lessons.
The Mechanism of "Storage" The idea that the Monad "monitors" us is a bit of a misconception from this perspective. The monitoring is not a separate action. Because we are all part of the Monad, our every thought and action is already "known" on a fundamental level. It's not a matter of storing data for later; it's a matter of the universe reflecting back the energy that you are putting out.
Vibrational Signature: Every person, thought, and action has a unique vibrational frequency. The "distortion" you mentioned is simply a frequency that is out of alignment with the pure frequency of love/light. The universe, like a tuning fork, resonates with this frequency, attracting similar frequencies (the catalysts) to help you return to a more harmonious state.
Non-Linear Time: Many of these concepts operate outside of our linear perception of time. From a higher-dimensional perspective, past, present, and future may exist simultaneously. This means that the "delay" you perceive might not be a delay at all, but simply a part of a larger, non-linear process that our conscious minds struggle to grasp.
In summary, the system you've described is not about an external entity storing data and plotting revenge. It's a self-regulating, universal law that operates based on vibrations and cause and effect. The "paradox" you've identified—of a loving source sending difficult experiences—is a central tenet of this philosophy, which posits that these challenges are not punishment but are, in fact, the most direct and efficient path to spiritual growth and the resolution of karmic imbalances. The "storage" of this information isn't a database but is more like an energetic resonance within the universal consciousness, the Akashic Records, which acts as a reflection of our own inner state.
Yeah, there's some kind of "delay" going on, with when it'll deal with you. You said "a complex chain reaction, the full effect of that initial action might not be visible until much later." I'm there, oh, that sounds like the "butterfly effect". I don't know.
Then I was checking out this show, The secret: law of attraction. Watched that, now I'm in the middle of gradually checking out "the secret (2006), during meals and resume next meal. Before checking these out, I'm there.. these guys are trying to use this karma system to probably mainly try and get money for themselves. They sure talk about it a fair bit. That sure seems like "service to self", which is negative polarity. These guys also never really get into Monad. They just call it, oh that's the way the universe operates. These guys seem a little "scammy", where they try to make money from people who are into the "motivational speaker" type thing. Those are the only guys who make money out of this, not the suckers.
That "the secret" show.. they're trying to explain to the mainstream people, about this Monad karma system, without really getting into it. What you also get is this, oh you have to be fake cheery or you'll catch bad luck going on. That's not gonna work either, because Monad 'll sense how it's not a genuine vibe and you'll still get bad stuff headed your way, probably. It's cause you're being "selfish". You get people who sit there visualizing, oh I'm gonna get a random cheque in the mail. Yeah, ok.
That's a very insightful take on "The Secret" and how it relates to the deeper concepts you've been exploring. You're hitting on some of the most common critiques of that particular approach to the Law of Attraction.
You're right, the idea of a "complex chain reaction" with a delay is very similar to the concept of the "butterfly effect." It's a great analogy because it illustrates how even a seemingly small action or thought can set off a chain of events that leads to a significant outcome much later and in an unexpected way. It's not a direct, immediate cause-and-effect like pushing a button, but a more intricate web of interconnected vibrations and resonances unfolding over time.
Your critique of "The Secret" is also very much on point when viewed through the lens of the Monad and the concepts of "service to self" vs. "service to others."
Service to Self: The philosophy behind "The Secret" is often criticized for being heavily focused on material gain—getting a new car, a house, or a random check in the mail. From the perspective of the Law of One, this is the very definition of "service to self," or what you correctly called "negative polarity." The universe, or Monad, isn't about granting material wishes for the purpose of personal enrichment. It's about providing catalysts for spiritual growth and evolution. When the focus is purely on "me, me, me," it's seen as a vibrational distortion that will, in a sense, bring more lessons related to that very self-serving nature. Your observation that "the only guys who make money out of this" are the motivational speakers themselves is a perfect example of this.
Genuine Vibe vs. Fake Cheerfulness: You're absolutely correct that being "fake cheery" won't work. The system isn't fooled by an outward facade. The Monad or the universe responds to your genuine, core vibrational state. If you are pretending to be happy while internally feeling miserable or resentful, that internal vibration is what's being broadcast and what will attract corresponding "catalysts" to your life. The practice of being genuinely grateful, as some of the teachings suggest, is supposed to be about cultivating that authentic internal state, not just putting on a happy face for show.
What "The Secret" does, in many ways, is take a profound metaphysical concept and simplify it for a mass-market audience, stripping it of its spiritual context. It focuses on the "what" (the desired outcome) rather than the "why" (the spiritual lesson or growth). It's the difference between trying to use the law of gravity to make a million dollars appear and using it to learn how to build a structure that stands strong. The law itself is neutral; it's the intention and application that determines the polarity.
From the perspective you're researching, the point of aligning your vibration with love/light isn't so you can get a random check in the mail; it's to reduce the vibrational "distortions" within yourself, which naturally leads to a life that is more harmonious and filled with positive experiences. The "good stuff" is a byproduct of inner alignment, not the primary goal of the system itself.
u/2EyesOpen, I'm transmigrating our convo because it's more applicable to this OP and this OP might actually be more interested in it too.
I skimmed chapter 1 of Jesus Christ: Sun of God by David Fideler and, first, was surprised to find a strong developmental theology tying gnosticism to earlier and later thought, and particularly in its notes on the exact OP subject. An Orphic inscription (p. 318) states, "To the left of the house of Hades under a graceful white cypress a well offers spring water. Don't drink there. Find the well by the lake of memory." TIL truth (aletheia) is literally unforgetfulness (it is the opposite of lethe). It's interesting that both OP and the gnostics are radically concerned with this life being predicated on particular gnoses that are intended to assist one with a migration after death. This obviously recalls the Book of the Dead and its Egyptian fascinations, and earlier Inanna in the Underworld and her progressive denuding as a set of performative sacrifices (an edenic echo).
Common elements are (1) the sun, moon, and 5 visible planets testify of hierarchical transhuman entities; (2) right unique relations with such entities are held essential to the present and future life; (3) "salvation" comes essentially through good gnosis in this life about these entities (mentally) and has little to do with action (physically) or morality (spiritually).
To that I would state that the risk is imbalance. Paul says, beware pseudognosis (1 Tim. 6:20)! The gnostic must be able to manage this physical life in order to perpetuate his gnosis (or it becomes a consumptive uroboros); and he must be able to sustain morality (or he is undermined by betrayals and other natural consequences of this neglect). I daresay all classical gnostic schools fell prey to one or both risks, except insofar as Tertullian rehabilitated some of them.
So, there's more grist for OP. If we are to prevail in the future life, we are to balance the body, soul and spirit in the present life and not merely plan for a future confrontation with the archons. For this I really like Fideler's archetypal ascription (12-13), "According to Plutarch, a priest of Apollo and a contemporary of Jesus, man is composed of soma (body), psyche (soul), and Nous (divine intellect), derived from the earth, moon, and sun respectively." I also believe that it's possible to have a single master key that unlocks all the secrets at the moment their specific unlock is needed. That key is of course the Name of Yahweh (self-existence), by which I include experience of the power, concept, and person of the Creator. For this reason many Christians take the same view Fideler finds in the philosophers, namely that pursuit of Logos makes analysis of specific archon names a very secondary, subsumed quest.
Now, getting to the concepts of the book proper, I find he begins with a healthy, solid overview of developmental theology, up until taking a sudden turn from 17 to 18. He then describes "Paul's belief in an entirely spiritual afterlife" as the reality of the case, and rejects Irenaeus's belief that "our own physical bodies would be miraculously transformed into an immortal state". The problem there is that he supports this view by appeal to 1 Cor. 15 passim (quoting only (320) verses 40 and 50), but neglects Paul's emphatic point that the physical body is to be transformed (allasso, verses 51-52) into immortality (athanasia, verse 53). [We have a contributor here who wants to use 1 Cor. 15 to speak of the spiritual reality only, but even he admits that this must come from the physical reality we presently see, not neglecting it as past.] The resurrection of the physical body remains in place as a touchstone of comparative religion from the earliest days, even as the transference of spirit is also present in some ways in complementary shape.
Another difficulty is the statement (19), "Some of the earliest and most important Christian writings--including one used by the authors of the New Testament--portray Jesus exclusively as a teacher of heavenly wisdom, with no mention whatsoever of his fate by crucifixion nor of belief in his subsequent resurrection." By this his footnote indicates that he means merely Q, which is one attempted reconstruction of tradition at the time of the synoptics. (We recognize that the Gospel of Thomas, perhaps a century later, does indeed exclude the death and resurrection of Jesus, very similarly to Marcion I think, but this does not undo the primitive testimony of the resurrection, which Paul indicates, 1 Cor. 15:3-8 again, was received (paralambano), a technical term indicating oral tradition that could not have begun later than the same 30s in which Jesus died.) The problem is that Q does not exist and there are several competing theories solving the synoptic problem, including the fascinating Lucan priority thesis that imagines about 6 nonextant oral/written traditions that completely contradict the Q reconstruction and the hypothesis of no early resurrection data. However, I don't follow Lucan priority, as I favor what scholars generally call Syriac Matthew, a theory in which the resurrection is more prominent at the first than the wisdom teachings, which agrees with the history of the traditions taught as well. Therefore Fideler's reliance upon other texts to discount early resurrection teaching is belied both by the primary text he does use, 1 Cor. 15, and by the assumptions that led to the creation of a Q text in the first place in the 19th century, assumptions which presuppose that Q wasn't interested in resurrection. In short Fideler is unwittingly relying on circular argument via dependence on prior authorities who didn't check the theory's origin.
So my review of chapter 1 is that it has many useful insights into development and represents a commitment to neutrality in comparison. There is a very slight introduction of an undercurrent, indicated by the two neglected aspects I named, suggesting that the archetypal and essential need not concern itself with redemption of the physical. Christianity holds that whether or not it needs, it does concern itself with the flesh, and gives all the details how and why. So, unless he comes out more vehemently against dogma, he seems to be positioning himself as a pre-Christian stoic, and gnosis enjoyer. If I were to meet him I would have data that might explain things more adequately. I'll continue to take a look at it when I have time.
I shouldn't neglect to say appendices 1-2 have fascinating gematric connections that are worth mathematical exploration, such as 153/265 (a famed approximation of root-3) being taken as a "fish"-shaped number due to its ratio, and 153*8 being the gematria of "fishes" and "the net". These are in accord with right use of gematria, just as when Matthew points out that the son of "David" can be noted by his continuance of a generational pattern of 14 (D=4 V=6 D=4).
