You've probably figured out by now that, in my view there is NO "right way" to act, think, be, or practice. The finality of the book "I Am That" is that it is a Negating force which does not pander to the thoughts and concepts of people. It's alright, in other words, to talk about karma, and know the reality of it, but to reject the idea completely is probably even better.
As you look through the book "I Am That" you're bound to find some serious contradictions. I did, when I first read it. It can be frustrating because you think, "Hey, how can I trust this guy if he's contradicting himself." This can be chalked up to two things, mainly, in my opinion.
1. The teaching is different for every person he talks to. Because he's literally reacting to what is going on in that person's world at that moment.
2. The teaching is a teaching which transcends logical thought. By its very nature the Absolute is beyond the mind, so, the teaching would naturally be beyond that which the mind is capable of grasping. However, just as you can have two different key signatures in the same song without it being two songs, or many different interpretive paintings of the same biblical scene, so too a couple of different angles may be necessary to view the same exact mental landscape.
I'm saying this to give you a glimpse into the world that appears when you begin to step out of the mind and into the soul, so to say. Its true we have all had soulful moments, some more than others.
As you dig into this, don't be surprised if you begin to have reactions. That's normal. Its part of the process of digging out what is within.
