I have been thinking about Karma and the way we experience the results of our actions at some time in our future.  I personally believe in reincarnation, big surprise, and linking that to the environment.

We hear a great deal about saving the planet for future generations.  Save the planet for the sake of our children and grandchildren.  I totally agree with the sentiments.   But if we accept the fact (concept if you wish) of reincarnation then I think it would be wise to be aware that we are also caring for and saving the planet for ourselves in our future incarnations too.  

Just imagine. We incarnate in one hundred years time, many species are extinct, the climate has changed the environment is wrecked or maybe there has been nuclear war and areas of the planet are wasteland.  Who do we blame?  Our ancestors of course, the ones that were so selfish and careless as to let it all happen.   Oh yes, that would be us wouldn’t it?  Ouch!

So the question I am asking myself is this,
“Assuming there are future generations of children and grandchildren to continue the human race, what kind of world do I want to incarnate into in my future life? “ 

I am currently feeling some powerful motivated self interest to do the best I can here and now to ensure that there is a beautiful world for mine and everyone else’s future.  How about you?
