How Karma Truly Works — The Laws of Interfering with Other People's Paths
Karma isn't punishment. It isn't reward. It's a mechanical consequence — the inescapable feedback loop that arises when we interfere with the natural unfolding of another being's trajectory.
The Mechanic Behind Karma
Forget the popularized notion of karma as some cosmic scoreboard tallying your good and bad deeds. That's not how it operates.
Karma, at its root, is energetic entanglement. When you insert yourself into someone else's path — uninvited, from your mind, driven by your not-self — you create a bond. A thread. An energetic debt that must eventually be reconciled.
This isn't mystical thinking. It's observable mechanics.
Every being has a Magnetic Monopole holding their design together, pulling them along their unique geometry through space and time. When you interfere with another's path, you don't just affect them — you distort your own trajectory. You create drag. You take on what was never yours to carry.
The Not-Self as the Source of Karmic Entanglement
Here's the uncomfortable truth: almost all karmic interference comes from the not-self.
The open centers. The conditioning. The mental noise that says:
"I need to fix them."
"They're making a mistake — I should intervene."
"If I don't help, who will?"
"I know what's best for them."
This is the mind pretending to be an authority. And every time you act on it, you create karma.
The mind is designed to be an outer authority — brilliant at observing, analyzing, and sharing perspective when asked. But the moment it becomes the decision-maker for your actions toward others, you step out of your lane and into theirs.
The Three Laws of Interference
1. The Law of Uninvited Entry
When you offer advice, help, or intervention that wasn't requested, you take on a portion of that person's process.
Think of it like grabbing someone else's steering wheel. Even if you mean well, you've now made yourself partially responsible for where they end up. And here's the catch — you can't steer their vehicle correctly because you don't have their design.
You don't have their Authority. You don't have their strategy. You can't feel what's correct for them.
So you inevitably steer them wrong. And you carry that.
2. The Law of Resistance
When someone is on their path — even if that path involves struggle, failure, or pain — and you try to remove them from it, you create resistance in the field.
Their lessons don't disappear. They compound. What they were meant to learn through a small friction becomes a larger obstacle down the road. And you? You've now tied yourself to their learning curve.
This is why so many "helpers" feel exhausted, depleted, and wonder why their good intentions backfire. They're carrying weight that was never theirs. They're enrolled in lessons they didn't sign up for.
3. The Law of Reflection
Every interference eventually returns. Not as punishment — but as reflection.
The universe doesn't moralize. It mirrors. When you impose your will on another's path, life will present you with circumstances where your own path is interfered with. Not because you're being punished, but because this is how the mechanics work.
You learn the weight of interference by experiencing it yourself.
The Deepest Interference: Trying to "Save" Someone
This is where it gets painful.
The most karmic entanglements come from the deepest well of the not-self — the desperate need to save someone. A child. A partner. A parent. A friend.
But here's what the mechanics reveal: you cannot live someone else's life for them.
Every being came here with a specific design, a specific fractal line, a specific set of experiences that are theirs to have. When you try to save someone from their path, you're not being loving. You're being arrogant. You're saying your judgment of what's right for them supersedes their own design.
And this creates the deepest karma of all — because you've not only interfered with their trajectory, you've abandoned your own.
How to Live Karma-Free
Living without creating karmic entanglement isn't about being cold or uncaring. It's about operating correctly.
Wait for Invitation (Especially Projectors)
If you're a Projector, this is your life's work. Your gift is guidance — but only when it's recognized and invited. Unsolicited advice isn't just ineffective; it's karmically expensive.
Respond, Don't Initiate (Generators and Manifesting Generators)
Your power is in response. When someone asks for your energy, you can give it cleanly. When you initiate from mental concern, you create entanglement.
Inform, Don't Control (Manifestors)
You're here to initiate your path, not others'. Inform those who'll be impacted, then move. Don't try to manage their reactions or fix their responses.
Observe, Don't Absorb (Reflectors)
You're the mirror. You show others what's happening in the environment. But you're not here to take on their process. Reflect, then release.
The Only Clean Intervention
There is one form of intervention that doesn't create karma: being asked and responding from your Authority.
When someone genuinely requests your input, your help, your energy — and your own inner Authority confirms that it's correct for you to give it — you can engage cleanly.
This isn't about withholding yourself from life. It's about discernment. It's about knowing the difference between a genuine invitation and your own not-self itching to get involved.
Breaking Existing Karmic Bonds
What if you've already created entanglements? What if you've spent years interfering with others' paths?
The mechanics offer a way through:
1. Recognize the pattern.
See where your not-self has driven you to meddle, save, fix, or control.
2. Withdraw your energy.
This doesn't mean abandoning people. It means returning to your own lane. Stop offering what wasn't asked for. Stop carrying what isn't yours.
3. Allow time.
Karmic threads loosen when you stop reinforcing them. This isn't instant. Seven years is often cited in Human Design as the time it takes for the body to fully decondition. Give yourself this grace.
4. Live your own experiment.
The most powerful way to break karma is to become so absorbed in your own correct path that you no longer have the bandwidth to wander into others'.

A Final Truth
"The only person you can help is yourself. And when you truly help yourself — when you live correctly — you become a lighthouse. Not by trying to guide ships. But by burning brightly in your own place."
Karma isn't a spiritual tax. It's a mechanical reality. Every time you overstep into another's path, you pay in distortion — of their life, and of yours.
The invitation is simple, though not easy:
Stay in your own experiment.
Wait for correct engagement.
Trust that others have their own designs for a reason.
This is how you live free.
