Being consciously unloving.

[jafar]

That's a great point. Is it possible to have true forgiveness without an equivalent change in behavior? I don't think so. If one wants to alleviate karma, I think it must have a corresponding change in behavior with behavior seeking restitution, which is the opposite behavior of the harm that was caused, being the best option. Perhaps this is the essence of spiritual bypassing and being ungrounded... not changing how one thinks and acts in response to negative consequences and simply choosing to ignore the consequences (believing this to be forgiveness) rather than understand and integrate the consequences into one's understanding of reality (what I call true forgiveness).

If one wants to 'lessen' the karma, then 'acceptance' is required.
Acceptance here in the meanings of 'letting it go', 'detachment' the opposite of attachment.
Ascension is gained through the opposite of gaining, through letting it go..

The entity grew attached to many things, to him/her self, to money, to wealth, to homes, to cigarettes, to food, to mushroom, to ayahuasca, to other people (good or bad), to enemy, to friends, to women, to men, to wives/husband, to girlfriend/boyfriend, to children, to family, to ethnicity, to countries, to races, to planet and zillions of other things that one can attached to.

The more 'attachment' one have the more 'karmic structure' it will have.
This 'karma' is the one that drive the entity to 'experience more' to take 'another shot', in one form or another.

Everything that has a beginning will have an end.
When it's time to let go better let go, this will lessen the karma.

But by no means that karma is 'bad' thus it need to be get rid of, because karma is also the driver for 'experiencing'.
Karma is the driver of 'samsara', the cycle of experiencing..
The driver of creation.

It is only 'bad' if one objective is to unite with the infinite, ending the cycle of experiencing, ending the 'limited/bordered self'.
Or in game metaphor, to permanently logged off from the game.
If one objective is still to play the game, and experience / explore the game more, then karma is 'good'.
