A curse?

 

"Sísyphus, the founder and king of Ephyra (now known as Corinth), revealed Zeus's abduction of Aegina to the river god Asopus, thereby incurring Zeus's wrath. His subsequent cheating of death earns him eternal punishment in the underworld, once he dies of old age. The gods condemned him to push an immense boulder up a hill only for it to roll back down every time it neared the top, repeating this action for eternity." [Wikipedia]

Some achieved results remain negative in spite of all efforts we put in. Yes, maybe we put the wrong efforts. If we sow in winter no matter all the sweat we spend the results will be negative.

But what about those situations that we have been trying to adjust over and over again, changing our perspective, approach, strategy, and yet no improvement was achieved. In some cases we even made the problem worse! So that we began to suspect a curse... 

Like Sísyphus we feel that sense of an implacable inexorability. No way out, no solution, just the continuous unforgiving punishment that we read in the Greek mythology. In our troubled life we can find a reason for that thinking of a karma debt. But there is another possible reason.

In esotericism they speak of chains, determined by a certain "eternal promise" we made in some previous lives where we swore our availability to serve someone, out of love or sense of duty. It is the fatal words: "for ever" that trapp us into an eternal repetition that we keep replicate over and over again until we realise that the bond we are still perceiving as strong and due... in reality it is not due at all!

With that realisation our libertation begins. When we objectively perceive that actually we do not owe that action to that specific person or persons and we really feel inside that the obligation was never there and we just got that "due" feeling out of some distorted belief...then we can really work on ourselves to clean the disturbance that led us to a false  and unconscious idea!
