Karma, Fate, and Destiny – what’s the difference?
“Ah well, what goes around comes around”, often said with a tone of resignation when we experience an unwanted outcome
I believe sometimes people confuse the meaning of karma with believing that some things are predestined. “Well, it had to happen that way, it was probably karmic”.
Let’s review the concepts of Karma, Fate, and Destiny from the perspective of the Akashic Records.
Karma
The great karmic spin cycle.
You wonder why you have repeating patterns in your life, perhaps a type of person that you try and create a relationship with over and over.
Or maybe you notice that a certain emotional block or perceived setup of circumstances always holds you back just at the point where you believe you will overcome all the odds again…then, somehow, you don’t.
Then again you have a creeping feeling that something, or even someone, from a Past Life, is revisiting their unfortunate energy upon you and your situation no matter what you do.
My experience to date of giving intuitive readings from the perspective of the Akashic Records is that yes, we do have repeating patterns in our lives which hold us back and prevent desired outcomes through a block of our energy and intentions, or an emotion arises which just throws us off balance and makes us unable to move forward effectively.
This is karma.
Something DID happen, created by you or done to you, in a past life, or even in this life which has created a stop signal in your Personal Energy Field. It can be cleared but first, we need to find out what IT is. That’s one of the benefits of having a Soul Star Reading.
Not being able to clear karma can be very frustrating and put a damper on our spiritual growth, personal development, and professional productivity.
Fate
Fate is something that we believe happens to us.
Well, it was meant to be (often said in a positive frame when two people who are very connected at first blush end up becoming connected in a relationship).
Well, it must be Fate, I was meant to________________ (stay put, not get that job, be here until the end of time even though it is driving me nuts).
Fate, I believe is a function of us laboring under incorrect knowledge.
If we do not get clear about our intentions and true desires, we can dream about them all we want, but we cannot manifest them, they are like cotton candy falling through our hands and melting away.
Fate removes our power because we believe perhaps that what has always been, will be, and then we manifest that outcome. Or that we dream about our desires, but do nothing to manifest them, being weighed down by ‘fate’.
Destiny
Destiny is a much more powerful and empowering word than fate, and viewed from this frame of reference is often used when we see people manifest talents and abilities that literally seem to be radiating out from their beings.
Lady Gaga is a performance artist who seems to have fulfilled her destiny, as is Paulo Coelho the writer, and Picasso the painter, to give some different examples.
Yet the future is a sea of potentials that we are constantly trying to sail.
Everyone can have a number of destinies and not all of them need to be earth-shaking, like some of the aforementioned artists.
What is true for most I believe, is that destiny is something we feel radiating from within us as a strong desire, rather than an ‘inevitable’ fate which we would rather avoid.
If we can clear karma and align ourselves bit by bit with our destinies, we can move forward and manifest our desires much more quickly.
Karma and the Karmic Spin Cycle
Coming back to Karma, hopefully you can see from reading this that Karma is separate and distinct from Fate, or indeed Destiny, yet there is a connection in that our old karmic patterns can prevent us from aligning with our Destiny, our innermost desires, and the resulting energy drain of Karmic cycles have us falling flat as a pancake on our emotional butts and back into the old, tired world of Fate.
I believe, if we can clear Karma, Fate becomes a concept or a misguided belief, rather than a reality and falls away, and our Destiny becomes a goal with which we can become aligned more clearly, with a little work on our part!
Fate or pre-destiny is a self-manifesting belief in my opinion.
Karma is the wheel of manifestation from past actions/reactions and past life consequences.
In the new Akashic Readings I’m giving, I’m becoming quite sure that actions and results we have manifested with others lay heavy in our energy fields and can ultimately be cleared with the right knowledge and intentions.

Past Lives, fascinating stories
Often people are fascinated by the idea of Past Lives. In truth, it’s the greatest movie we’ve ever seen, the story of each of our Soul’s paths on the Journey to here (wherever that is).
It’s easy to go down the rabbit hole with Past Lives. Finding out that we love – or hate – a particular location because of our Past Lives association with it can be enlightening, scary and fascinating.
Perhaps you hate having things around your neck. (Even turtlenecks). People with this phobia often find out they were injured or killed in a Past Life by an attack to this area of the body.
Past Lives – the boy who knew too much
This latest fascinating story that has surfaced about The Boy Who Knew Too Much: An Astounding True Story of a Young Boy’s Past-Life Memories, a young child, Christian, who asserts that he was the famous baseball player Lou Gehrig in a past life, it’s every exciting, looks like a movie may even be made.
But what use is that, really? It feeds our curiousity and makes us more comfortable perhaps that we are occupying a continuous stream of lives along with our Soul Group or family members, who we will meet again and again. There is certainly peace to be found in that.
Past Lives – how to make this knowledge practical
But what if Past Lives are in one sense a rabbit hole? Wouldn’t it be better to use this information in a more practical way to become aware of our own personal limitations and repeated setbacks as part of a greater, repeating pattern – what I like to call the karmic spin cycle.
You get your washing to a certain point…but it never makes it out of the washer to the dryer for a whole new start, or wearing! So more detergent is added, more suds created, hot water in and then you are being rinsed once again.
What if you could clear the karmic consequences of Past Lives, rather than playing the same old movies over and over? That’s where my Soul Star Reading can be helpful.

Talents and abilities – and your Personal Energy Field
Reading this book this week, Strengths Based Marriage: Build a Stronger Relationship by Understanding Each Other’s Gifts, and found the best definition to date regards our talents and abilities.
“Talents are not abilities, such as phenomenal golf swing or an amazing knowledge of stingrays; rather, they are inherent traits. These traits are uniquely, instinctively, and permanently yours. They are not just things you do but rather repeatable ways you see and approach life. In short, they help to make up who you are”.
Sometimes our talents can be as plain as the nose on our face, yet we ourselves don’t see them, acknowledge them or even value them if we are aware that they exist.
There’s that great saying “looking a gifthorse in the mouth”. Our gifts can be so familiar to us, that we can’t see them as something valuable.
Talents and abilities – one of mine is connectedness
For example, one of my talents is a natural sense of connectedness (also my top Strength in the Clifton StrengthFinder assessment quoted in the above book).
For many years I was aware of this talent, but because of the fear of it’s Shadow Side (or ‘counterfeit’ as viewed from the Clifton Strengthfinders’ perspective), I didn’t focus on it or use it. I feared it, to be honest.
With my particular abilities in connectedness, I could read more about people than they might like to have made public!
This is definitely a talent. After all, as a spiritual intuitive, it’s probably the main tool or skill that I rely on during readings, alongside the training and study which I regularly undertake.
As a young person, I would transmit my knowledge of a person gleaned from connectedness.
Talents and abilities can have a Shadow side, or ‘counterfeit’
In all innocence, I though it would sometimes be useful for people to know what I knew because of my ability to connect with them.
Many didn’t like it, as you might imagine! So the label counterfeit stuck onto to me was that I was ‘bossy’, ‘nosy’, and downright ‘weird’.
Yet we all have ‘hidden’ talents and therefore abilities, some hidden in plain sight (as in my case) that we can focus on, learn to value, expand and help ourselves and others become successful as a result.
After all, wouldn’t you rather have a reading or an energy session from someone who has always been able to connect energetically to others? I know I would.
So talents and abilities are hidden in our energy fields
What I also loved about this book was this amazing fact…
In the Clifton Strengthfinder model, there are 34 talents discovered so far. Initially when doing the test, it is suggested to focus on your top 5 talents. The author asks
“How many people would you need to talk to to find one other person with the same five Clifton Strengthfinder results as you, with the exact same talents sequence?
The answer is (you’d need to talk to) roughly 33 million, with the world population expected to exceed 7.4 billion in 2017. Doing the math, that means there are fewer than 225 people who have the same five talents (as) your sequence.”
In the work that I do, I know for a fact that every single client’s energy is as beautiful and individual as their fingerprints. If we are simply viewing ourselves from the perspective of our hidden talents and abilities, then we truly are as individual at the incarnated personality level here on Planet Earth, as we are at the Soul Level.
I find these numbers very empowering. We are all truly talented in our own individual right, and we are not the same!
What do you think your hidden talents and abilities are? Let me know if you are ready to find out!

We are all light beings
Walking through the small area of woods near my house today with my dog, I had a vision of light beings walking through the trees.
They were us, only displaying themselves in a different frequency of light.
I could see us differently.
Inside is our chi or God-light, ‘god-spark’ running through our central core and column, leg and feet, arms and hands, chests, necks shoulders and head.
We are all the same there, although as individual as a feather, as multifaceted as a diamond, as eternal as the night sky.
Then come the other parts of us that obscure us from becoming light beings
We lean into the wind of birth as pure soul aspect, pure spirit…and then we incarnate.
Learning how to use our fleshy bodies is a task we take on with joy, often laughter, at the enormity of the job at hand after floating in spirit for a while.
As we grow, we become aware of other aspects of ourselves.
We create memories, golden disks of light attached to the energy fibers behind us.
We draw on our Past Lives from those disks too, and our body’s genetic history. Then we start to wrap this story around us.
Sometimes it dims our light, sometimes it helps us and lights up a disk of light in our front fibers, where our future potentials lay. Sometimes it uncorks a surge of pain or trauma which runs in colorful streaks across our aura and our chi, blending with the golden light in places, making it less clear.
We resonate and take on from other energies around us, clunking wheel like ideas and thought forms, steam punk in nature, puffing on from centuries of use, thousands of years of over-use, but they are ours on Earth so we wear them with pride. If not that, then at least some form of comfort, for a while.
We may create new thoughts forms of our own based on the frequencies and light that we cast. Some pure and golden, some streaked with tears and other karmic colors, some dark and biting as we repeat and think to improve upon some of the ancient ideas that have kept us in their thrall for centuries.
So we cover and wrap our essential Light with our stories, our thoughts, our karma and our deepest emotions, wrapping ourselves tightly just like a living mummy on the Earth.
And then we walk and share and eat and attempt to love others, because we are angels, really. Not everyone can see our light anymore, and we certainly cannot see our own.
Not everyone can see through the layers of trauma, pain, old ideas and beliefs to the golden light within. Sometimes old ideas resonate and lock with another, experiences of lives past connect and another dance in the long karmic game is played out painfully and automatically.
Then the Lightworkers come
Those. are born who know on some level that they are golden light, golden chi, golden energy and that they may be covered by the wrappings of incarnation, but they will not take them on, or at some point they will clear them from their field.
So they begin to broadcast light. Some people feel it and are afraid. They back away, accuse, divert, deny and refuse to see their own inner light as it resonates with that of the Lightworker.
Then there are other people who are ready to drop the outer layers, the heavy clanking wheels of karma, the painful stripes of long battles of emotion and power struggles, the inherited thought patterns that serve us no longer.
And so, we let the wrappings fall. We are light beings.

Some ways in which we can pass the wisdom barrier
I read a lot of spiritual books. One of the latest I am reading is HUMAN SOUL REVEALED: Unlocking The Mysteries From Beyond – by Kryon (channeled by Lee Carroll and compiled and added to by Monika Muranyi.
I saw Monika speak at Kryon Summerlight 2016. She says she is one of those people who, even as a child, like to organize her mom’s plastic pegs into color piles for laundry day. She has become the ideal person to compose some of Kryon’s channels into books on specific subjects.
In The Human Soul Revealed, Chapter 3 discusses the attributes within the Human Soul Group as they relate to healing the physical body, healing yourself, changing your DNA and mining your Akash (Akashic Records).
Mining your Akash – meaning finding the jewels of wisdom from your past history in this life or others, and applying them to your current situation.
Kryon channels information about The Wisdom Barrier
What is a Wisdom Barrier?
Simply put it is a barrier we pass through as an individual, or in group consciousness when we learn something new and applicable.
We can never ‘go back’ to the way things were before because the Wisdom Barrier is now in the way.
Kryon gives the example of breaking the Sound Barrier at group level consciousness.
“When you broke the sound barrier, did you go home and that “That’s nice! Let’s continue to use old aircraft and old speeds from now on?” No! You could hardly wait to design aircraft that would go beyond it! Nothing remained the same, and you could not put the genie back into the bottle.”
Kryon then repeats one of his Cosmic Laws that I have covered in this series of podcasts.
“You can never go back into a less aware state”.
So, much like the Sound Barrier, as an individual on our respective spiritual journeys, when we pass a Wisdom Barrier through personal spiritual experience, we can not go back.
We can try, but the duality of this situation will cause us energetic problems and a feeling of being split in two.
This feeling can happen when
- we find out something about someone in a relationship with us, and we can never feel the same about them again, we have moved through a Wisdom Barrier and our perception is forever different.
For example, we learn of a friend or intimate partner’s deception, and we have to move through the Wisdom Barrier of a heart ‘break’ or energetic separation, and then decide can we heal enough to stay in that duality, or does the other person need to recalibrate or change too in order for us both to move through the Wisdom Barrier together and change our relationship?
- we learn a new piece of spiritual information that we were perfectly ready for, and we can never see it the same way since it changes our vibrational state. Our cells vibrate differently, our perspective changes…and we move on.
A recent example for me was learning about the difference between disembodied Spirits, Ghosts, and Poltergeists. The answer made total sense once I learned it and filled in all the gaps in understanding surrounding experiences I have had.
Now, I can’t return to the place of understanding I was in before, because I have passed through that Wisdom Barrier.
Sometimes we can feel the need to return to the place we existed before we were moved (sometimes it feels like being pushed!) through the Wisdom Barrier.
- we try to go back and live somewhere we used to love living, but it doesn’t feel the same. It’s like a ‘bad dream’ version of the place we used to live. We are sensing the duality of the vibratory rate we had when we lived in this place ‘then’, and ‘now’. We may need to find a whole new way of living in that location or move away completely to return to a sense of wholeness once again.
As Kryon says
“It is the physics of spirituality that creates an axiom that states you will never be able to return to a less aware state…If you actively choose to try, however, then you are denying the enlightenment you have been given, and you will become unbalanced. Indeed, you are able to try to move backwards. It is your free will. However, sad indeed are those humans who try to ignore what they know is the truth, for they will not last long with a dual vibratory rate”.
I hope you enjoyed this New World Energetics explanation of the Wisdom Barrier.
