Motive, Intent,
Desire & Control

Everything you think, say and do creates karma. And if that were not enough to deal with, the MOTIVE, INTENT and DESIRE behind everything you think, say and do also creates karma.

So avoiding undesirable new karma can require a lot of self-policing of your thoughts and words, while also exploring your motivations.

The next time you get into a conversation with another person, observe the little emotions that bubble up in response to the verbal exchange. What is really happening here? Are you seeking to impress them with your importance? Do you want them to feel sorry for you? Are you seeking to source money through them? Maybe it’s about getting them into bed?

As you monitor your motive, intent and desire, become aware of what you really feel about the person you’re talking to. Do you like them? Are you pretending to like them? Do you fear them? If so, why? What is the worst they could do to you?

And here’s the big question: Are your words, ever so subtly, trying to control?

In close relationships, there are eight primary ways people try to control others. First is GUILT, which is always used to hurt or manipulate. ANGER is especially effective against those unnerved by openly aggressive behavior. CRITICISM and INSECURITY upset someone’s balance by attacking their thinking or behavior. OBLIGATION is often in the form of an unspoken agreement. In other words, “If I do this for you, you’ll have to do this for me.”

WITHHOLDING is a primary manipulative ploy used in intimate relationships. HELPLESSNESS allows a manipulator to claim he can’t do what he needs to do, unless you do what he wants you to do. TEASING appears loving and affectionate on the surface but is a way for the teaser to make an indirect statement. QUESTIONS can be manipulative when the person asking the questions already knows the answer.

My question for you: Who do you attempt to control? Are you aware of unspoken motives, intents, or desires? To avoid the karma, can you deal with the situations directly and honestly?
