God gives us many lifetimes because it takes much more than one lifetime to grow into spiritual maturity.
Just as one cannot expect as five year old in kindergarten to have the knowledge and maturity of a high school senior or someone with a PhD., one cannot expect anyone tolearn all of life's lessons in one lifetime.  Earth is
like a schoolroom, and each lifetime is like another year in school.  Sometimes it takes more than one lifetime
to learn a particular lesson, but given enough lifetimes, we eventually learn our lessons, pass our tests, and graduate from schoolroom Earth.  When we graduate, we ascend, like Jesus did.  We become our Higher,      Divine Selves.

     One of the major requirements for graduation, for the ascension, is balancing at least 51%* of our karma.     The other 49% of our karma can be balanced from the etheric plane after our ascension.  We are responsible      for balancing all 100% of our karma, "every jot and tittle".  We should try to balance as much karma as we can while we are still in embodiment, because it may be harder to balance our remaining karma on the other side.

     Before I tell about the best and fastest way of balancing, or getting rid of, your karma, I'd like to say a little about what karma is.  You've probably heard the expression "what goes around, comes around".  That's the law   of the circle.  That's karma.  Whatever you do that creates karma makes a complete circle and eventually comes back to you.  It could come back right away, later in the same life, or in some future lifetime.  What returns to
you is the karma that you created because of what you did.

     The word "karma" is usually thought of and used as being something negative or bad, but there is also good,   as well as bad, karma.  Whenever you do something good, you create good karma, and when that good karma returns, something good will happen to you.  When you are kind, loving, helpful, and generous, for example, you create good karma, and when that good karma returns, someone will be kind, loving, helpful, and generous to   you.  The following words from Saint Francis' prayer are an example of good karma:  "For it is in giving that we receive, It is in pardoning that we are pardoned".  We receive what we give because our good karma returns
to us.

     Bad karma is created whenever we do something that is wrong, when we break God's laws.  If, for example,
we hurt someone by angrily criticizing and judging them, or by having an adulterous affair, someone will hurt us     in a similar way, someday, because "what goes around, comes around".  Bad karma is never meant to punish us,
only to educated us.  When we are hurt by our returning karma, it can educate us if it helps us to see how the
other person felt when we hurt them.  By experiencing how badly it feels, we won't want to hurt them again.  Has someone done something to you that you don't like?  If so, it may be because your karma returned to you
through them to teach you something.  The Golden Rule states that you should "do unto others as you would
have them do unto you".  Whatever we do unto others will be done unto us because our karma, both good and
bad, returns.
