ROLE OF THE 'VILLAIN'

SOMEONE ASKED: In this blog posts you have mentioned that most of the time the people who are our villains and cause us pain and suffering are our best friends on the astral plane and that they have agreed on the astral plane to cause harm to you so that a lesson that has to be learned will be learned.

Now, one thing that raises a big question mark in my mind is that if these people agree upon the astral plane to take the role of a villain and cause pain and suffering just for the sake that we learn a few lessons, then by doing so are these villains not going to spoil their own karmas?

I mean, one of my dearest friend up there agrees to play the role of a villain in my life to teach me certain lessons, then by doing so will he not be spoiling his own karmas and accumulate fresh ones down on the earth, his levels and vibrations will go down further..?

MY ANSWER: This is a pertinent and relevant question which I am sure must have arisen in the minds of many readers. If souls agree to cause pain in their role as ‘villain’ do they incur fresh Karma? The answer is not so cut and dry but neither is it difficult to understand.

The pain and suffering contracted and agreed upon in the blueprint, DOES NOT attract fresh Karma for the person inflicting the pain. This is termed as completion of past negative karma. Because if every word or action causing pain attracted karmic debt there would be no end to the cycle of negative debts. There has to be some avenue or method of squaring up the accounts. Hence if the ‘villain’ plays the agreed role as per the blueprint there is no accumulation of fresh negative karma. This role can be played both by causing intentional and unintentional pain.

However the key words here are agreed role as per the blueprint. The problem is that neither the villain nor the victim is able to restrict their role to what was agreed in the blueprint. It is very likely, or one could say very human for a person to react and react negatively. Therefore when you are hurt, you will in all likelihood hit back in some way or the other. Here you incur fresh karmic debt as this is out of contract. Now the ‘villain,’ being human and ignorant of the blueprint, also reacts to your reactions, hits back causing you pain. At this point the ‘villain’ will also incur fresh karma as he or she has gone beyond the contract. It is in this manner that through sheer ignorance we keep piling up a mountain of negative debts regardless whether we are victim or villain.

Now the next obvious question that will arise is do we as victim keep quiet and like a doormat get trampled upon just to avoid increasing karma? The answer is no. You have every right to defend yourself from the pain and suffering by whatever means, spiritual or physical. However that right does not grant license to cause intentional and purposeful pain to another human. You have to draw the line between defending yourself and a planned assault. The former is karma free the latter increases karmic debt.

The above thesis will show how precarious is the role of the ‘villain.’ In order to help you complete karma, that soul can land up incurring loads of fresh karmic debt with repeated cycles of negative reactions, all done in ignorance of this law. This probably explains why it requires a very close and loving friend in the astral world to agree to the role of the ‘villain.’
