What does "The Road to Hell is Paved with Good Intentions" mean?

[Sacred Fool]

Because at the end of the day, karma is not there to punish us, it's there as a tool for the seeker to help evolution.

Sure, lots of us delay reckoning with the stuff we carry, but as soon as we sit down to meditate, guess what?  Up it comes.  Karma delayed is not karma avoided.


How do negative entities put the brakes on a karmic burden?  Is it through forgiveness? 

I think that to answer this, you need to look deeply into what forgiveness is and what effects it has on an entity.  Also, you need to look more deeply into love.  What is love if the 4D entities learn lessons of love (love of self) while hurting or destroying others?  What is love that it is learned in this way allowing a negative entity to graduate to 5D?
  
This quote, I believe, offers a clue.

34.5 Questioner: If an entity develops what is called a karma in an incarnation, is there then programming that sometimes occurs so that he will experience catalyst that will enable him to get to a point of forgiveness thereby alleviating the karma?

Ra: I am Ra. This is, in general, correct. However, both self and any involved other-self may, at any time through the process of understanding, acceptance, and forgiveness, ameliorate these patterns. This is true at any point in an incarnative pattern. Thus one who has set in motion an action may forgive itself and never again make that error. This also brakes or stops what you call karma.

I would submit that the skillful negative entity does not see cruelty and other forms of manipulation as mistakes; rather, they see them as necessary actions, not something that needs correction.  Therefore, there is nothing there to forgive.  For this reason, perhaps, they carry different sorts of karmic burdens than positive entities?  Perhaps karma is programmed by our own sense of self reflection, that is, how we feel things reflect upon us?  So, maybe forgiveness is a personally defined and experienced thing which helps define our view of self?
