On the weekend I attended a wine tasting at a large retailer. I was struggling with the "nose" of a wine. The attendant suggested vanilla and I discovered that if I breathed just the smallest amount of the vapour, then I could detect vanilla at the very start of the olefactory organ. If I breathed in more deeply then I missed it entirely.
I then discovered that the olefactory organ is like the oral palate - different tastes/smells are detected in different places.
Later I found an ordinary wine at home had black currant scents right at the front of the olefactory organ and prune scents further back.
So the next day I was about to write something about the recent events on this board and the phrase "odour of group karma" appeared.
And I thought about that: does group karma have a particular smell?
And it does. It has a distinct tang to the smell.
I tried several group karmic situations known to me (from observation of energy fields) and each has a tang about it.
The tangs however are not identical and I detect them in slightly different places of my olefactory organ.
So an excellent learning weekend for me - but I am not so sure about other posters.
Cheers

If this forum was a wine, I would say it is grown from a variety or grapes grown on the east of the hill ... well balanced, will age well.

I have been trying my nose on humans known to be corrupt and I think that they have a distinct 'smell' also - detected broadly (sideways) at the middle level of the olefactory organ.
Hence the term - stench of corruption.

Now that is interesting. I have often thought that our use of the english language contains much of what we unconsciously register with out senses.

I mean that the nose also has non-physical senses You might like to try it for yourself. |

Try meditating for a while then put your attention to a human known to be corrupt. Notice if you have a nasal sensation.

Persistence may be a virtue in this case.

More nose statements:
- a nose for a story
- smell a lie
- smell a bargain
- wrinkling the nose to express disgust
- poking a nose into
- nosing about
- has a long nose

-being led by your nose
What about the group of humanity as a whole,
what kind of smell do you think that would produce?

I laughed when I read your post cwhite, then instantly I thought of stinky socks. Now where did that come from?
Then I thought about it just a tad and decided that it probably was time we had a good wash, so to speak.

I have just had a couple of emails from a close associate over several lives and she seemed quite put out and defensive at the thought of meeting again after two decades. I put that down to some internal processes but being reminded by seeing this thread, I can detect a distinct tang of karma in the situation.
I will watch for a while.

I have been asked to write something about karmic energies taking the path of least resistance towards family members, so this thread seems as good as any.
The following approximates my understanding of karma, but being a profound and cosmic subject, I have barely touched the surface.
Karma is inescapable. It exists in substance, relationships and awareness.
In its simplest form, karma is a disturbance in the substance of any of the planes of existence: physical, emotional, mental, buddhic, etc.
Since the planes are ensouled by great intelligences (the Lords of the Planes) those Beings experience discomfort from the karmic disturbances and they push suitable beings towards those disturbances in the hope they will resolve them.
The Lords of the Planes seem to be directed in this by higher beings that manage karma in the local cosmos - the Lords of Karma.
Now the substance of the planes is used as vehicles for a myriad of smaller beings. For example, a human family/clan (comprising many souls, including those not in incarnation) typically has distortions in its group light body that need resolving and produce discomfort.
Thus the group being/soul of the family may seek to reduce its discomfort by moving the nearest suitable member into the distortion to out-work the problem.
The group being may not be too fussy.
A couple of years ago I was invited to go on a Theosophical Society camping weekend. While there I walked into a black guy rope and tore off a couple of ligaments in my left foot - taking chips off the bones where they were attached.
I wondered about this and eventually concluded that there was some group karma of that TS group that I had wandered into. About 2 weeks later the fellow who invited me had an almost identical injury to his foot (the left as I recall) from a falling object.
Since then I have been careful as to with which groups I connect.
It is possible to resolve personal karma, but family/group and national karma take a long time - substantially because mostly it is still being generated.
I suspect that car crashes tend to be karmic. North of here some years ago, around dusk on four lane road with a wide grass section separating the directions, a young man driving a ute crossed over the dividing strip and collided with an on-coming car. Both drivers were killed. They were father and son.
Long ago I had a dream of being in a large prison camp. One of the inmates had broken a rule but I was the one punished. It was most unfair. When I woke up I asked inwardly what was that about. They replied: when an offense is committed by a member of a group, the fault is incurred by the group. It makes no difference which member of the group receives the punishment.

Same with any large capacitor: discharge it before touching.

I think this is true. One nation whom I believe has a large build up of karma would be Japan. War atrocities may have enhanced this.

I see larger clouds of karma around Europe, southern Africa, the Middle East and the US, but quite a lot of that is connected to karma outside this planet.
