This is Part One of the introduction to the fourth of the seven practices of the Way of the Higher Self, Understand Our Life Circumstances as Spiritual Effects.  The point of this practice is to understand the ways we might actually bring adversity upon ourselves, even when it seems as though we’re unlucky or life is being arbitrarily cruel.  This gives us the opportunity to approach life differently, and generate more positive outcomes.  In this episode, Karl describes a messy, unpleasant event in his life, followed by a detailed breakdown of how it mirrored various lower self energies of his, and how he benefited from making these connections.
