(Endorsements: making others succeed is the method)
Linda Kaplan Thaler, who built a billion-dollar advertising company and wrote the best-selling business book The Power of Nice: “I owe much of the success of our company to the beliefs in The Diamond Cutter: we ensure our success when we plant imprints in our minds by ensuring the success of others.”
Russell Simmons, founder of the hip-hop movement, personal value $320 million, master of Diamond Cutter philosophy: “I made a lot of people in the world rich. I made money by making other people money. I’m rich from making others rich.”
(Karma works before decisions are even needed)
You see, in Karmic Management, every time you come to a crossroads and have to take a decision about your project or your life, you’ve already failed, even if you do take a decision and it works out. If you’ve been doing your Karmic Management correctly, events have just worked out already, without the decision.
Every karmic step you take will without question lead to its result: what goes around always comes around.
Your problems are your path. —Geshe Potowa, Tibetan, 1027–1105 AD
In between every action you purposely take to make your karmic business partners successful, you’re going to take three other actions to keep them from being too successful, just out of old habit. Now that’s okay: the one positive action is 100% more than we did in the past, and it’s enough to create more success than we’ve ever had before. But the other, negative seeds are going to be popping in at inconvenient moments in our project, and causing problems. Like Frank.
(Shut down negative seeds the moment they surface)
That is, until it starts to come. The moment a complaining Frank pops up on our team—the very first day you start to see even just the beginning of a problem like Frank—you need to do something, fast. Because now you know that a random negative seed is starting to ripen, and if you don’t shut it down quick it’s going to ruin your project.
“Whatever you want from life, you must do for someone else first.”
The way to shut off a karma is to be absolutely careful not to do any more of it now.
So take joy in your problems; focus on your problems and embrace them.
You’ve identified the cause of the problem: you must have complained before. If you stop complaining from here on—if you are absolutely careful not to breathe a single word of complaint—this has what you can call a power of resonance. Not complaining, because you want to stop Frank’s complaining, is a lot like a selective black hole. The more effort you put into not complaining (especially about Frank’s complaining), the bigger and more powerful this karmic black hole becomes. The hole “resonates” with all the old complaining in your subconscious mind: it attracts old seeds of complaining, sucks them in, shuts them off. And so it’s not just that KM gives you the power to create your own successful future. It also gives you the power to selectively target any problem in your work or life, and shut it down.
(The karmic feedback loop: the source of all world mess-ups)
The best and only way to keep Frank complaining and messing up your project is to plant new complaining seeds, by complaining about Frank yourself. This is called a “karmic feedback loop,” and it’s responsible for all the mess-ups in the entire world. You are hurting my project because I planted a seed for it by hurting someone else before. And now what—am I going to hurt you back for hurting me? Duh! 50,000 years of duh! Real Life
MICHAEL GORDON: Problems really do take you over the top. Of course, it’s a little hard to see them that way while they’re happening, and this is where the clear mind that you get from meditating, yoga, and clean living serves you in good stead.
We walk to a nearby hotel, book a room, and spend the whole night up, working out a plan to help these people.
If something’s happening to you That you don’t like, Stop doing it to others.
(Celebrating shared success plants the most powerful seed)
their spouses out to a nice French restaurant. This kind of celebration, this kind of gratitude, is absolutely essential in Karmic Management—because what you’re really doing is celebrating the very concept that makes KM work: You have made me successful because you allowed me to make you successful, and now we (the big me, really) are both successful because of it. The karma of celebrating this kind of success is itself the most powerful karmic seed
