Many people use the term karma without truly understanding what it means. "It's my karma to be poor," they say. Or instead of poor they say "ill" or "lonely." In doing this they make karma appear to be the same as fate. It is not. In fact, the original notion of karma is quite the opposite of fate. The term karma simply means "action." There is nothing in the definition that indicates fate. In a spiritual context it means that everything you do will cause a reaction. If you do something good, you will receive something good. If you do something bad, something bad will happen to you. There are two important aspects of this. First, it means there are no "lords of karma" watching over the ...
Why do hands fascinate us? Do hands have a hidden meaning? Nearly all of us have wondered about something we see in our own hands or spot in another person's hands. No two hands are completely alike, not even for the same person, and no set of hands exactly resembles another set of hands. The differences can be eye-catching.

Actually, everybody has access to such a warning system, and it lies right in the palm of your hand. Palmistry is an oft-overlooked way to tap into your destiny as a work in progress. Most people think that a palm reading is a one-time thing, like an astrological natal chart, but your palms can actually change over time. Don't believe me? Make a photocopy of both palms of your hands today, and then photocopy them in the same machine six months later, or even sooner. You'll notice the lines on your palms deepening ...
If the fleshy mounts and flat plains are the topography of your hand, the lines are the roads that cross it as you journey through life. Get familiar with the major freeways that mark just about everyone's hand, even if you don't see them change much, because they will help you as reference points for the mounts. Just as you might say, "Hey, didn't there used to be a fast food joint on this corner?" on your familiar drive to work, seeing things pop up near the lines on your palm can be noticeable and more easy to watch. Lines do change, and for some people they may deepen, lengthen, or lighten and become less noticeable more quickly than for others. Keep your eyes on the road with these ...
