It is time to develop a big ‘US’, rather than the old ‘us and them’ that lets us to exploit and bully others on a personal level, and on an international level to wage war. The East must see the West as part of ‘US’ and the North must come to feel that the South is part of ‘US’. We should include the entire world in our concern, wishing all humanity well. If we can do that there will be no room for hatred, thinking of others as enemies. And we will achieve this through education, not through prayer.

Karma (or kamma) in Buddhism means “action”. In popular discourse, it is often linked to fate or predestination. Karma however, refers to actions that are undertaken consciously. Stated simply, the Law of Karma decrees that every deed we perform knowingly will eventually produce similar results. 

Just as the physical universe is governed by the laws of cause and effect, so too in the moral sphere. In Buddhist philosophy, Karma Vipaka is voluntary, willed action and the entire scope of its effects. Karma Phala is intentional action and its result. The Law of Karma in its entirety therefore, refers to both conscious action and its consequences in the fullness of time.

In Buddhism, the notion of Karma goes beyond a simplistic division into ‘good’ or ‘evil’.  Instead, Buddhist texts speak of ‘Kushala karma’ and ‘Akushala karma’. Kushala means ‘skilled’, ‘intelligent’ and ‘wholesome’, while Akushala means the opposite. Wholesome actions benefit oneself and society at large. They arise from wisdom, feelings of love, kindness, compassion and lead to happiness. Unwholesome actions on the other hand, originate from desire (in the sense of greed), ignorance and ill-will; their consequence is suffering. 

All actions emanate from three sources – the body, mind and speech. Buddhist texts list ten negative actions from these sources that comprise Akushala Karma:

Actions of the body: Killing, robbing, sexual misconduct
Actions of the mind: Avarice, anger, delusion
Actions of speech: Lying, harsh words, spiteful gossip, slander

The fruits (Phala) of Karma may manifest themselves during one’s present life, the following life, or after several rebirths. While the short-term results of Karma can be easily verified by us, it takes an enlightened being like the Buddha to perceive long-term effects of Karma.

Armand Cage Testimonial Video from Nexus Humanus on Vimeo.

The world has been in constant conflict since mankind became self-aware. Thoughts take form as action, and the divided thoughts of man have inevitably led to a divided world. Because of the law of cause and effect, each step toward constructive progress for all creates a step closer toward destructive regress for all. So while the world may appear more “enlightened” and “progressive,” it is equally more selfish and regressive in equal measure.

While this may appear to be an unending, universal pattern, there is a way to end this cycle. By unifying one’s mind, internal division is eradicated, sustainable happiness created, and the world perfected as everyone learns how to live together as a “community of one.”

Based on the recently discovered journals of visionary founder Jay Howard Thompson, our fully revised, scientifically engineered program is designed as a comprehensive aid to unify the mind and unlock the full potential of every man, woman, and child through a fun, and easy-to-apply system of Mental Apparatus.

Nexus Humanus and the writings of Jay Howard Thompson have helped countless millions, and now they can help you… completely free of charge.

A good walker leaves no tracks; 
A good speaker makes no slips; 
A good reckoner needs no tally. 
A good door needs no lock, 
Yet no one can open it. 
Good binding requires no knots, 
Yet no one can loosen it. 
Therefore the sage takes care of all men 
And abandons no one. 
He takes care of all things 
And abandons nothing.

This is called "following the light."

What is a good man? 
A teacher of a bad man. 
What is a bad man? 
A good man's charge. 
If the teacher is not respected, 
And the student not cared for, 
Confusion will arise, however clever one is. 
This is the crux of mystery.

~ Lao Tzu
