Keeping Cool With Karma

July 2, 2010

Q: Dear Mistress Didi,

I have been practicing the techniques You gave us in the Domina101™ course and I must be doing something wrong. I can’t seem to deal with this [naughty word omitted] and I just want to beat her face in every time I see her! I remember You teaching not to let anyone bring me down to a level [where] I won’t like my behavior the next day. But I need help! Thank You!

Darling Miss P,

I wrote an entry in an earlier edition of My Newsletter about Keeping Cool With Karma which addresses exactly your issue! I have reprinted it below. Please note that I write My advice from My perspective, owning My responsibility for My choices and actions:

DOMINA 101 TIP: Keeping Cool With Karma. I believe that everyone can make a mistake and I am generous with giving people opportunities to be cool in My Domain. Again, My Motto isDon’t start none, won’t be none, so the only times that I encounter problems with people is because they forgot themselves ~ I’ll explain.

There are far too many folks pretending to be representative of the “face they show to the world” – especially in The Fetish Scene. They lie, cheat, make up stories about Me because they feel a serious lack of value within themselves (the “Void”). Something about Me (or you) triggers their ability for true-self-reflection and they recognize that they are not the façade that they work too hard to convince people and themselves of. So, instead of being inspired by Me (or you), they become “ired” (angered via jealousy and recognition that they are not what they want to believe they are) by My Truth and want to punish Us for the fact that they are “less-than.” This is an incredibly stupid and lascivious practice that ultimately gets them in trouble, causes “unpleasantries,” and leaves them deeper in “personal debt” (The recognition of how much one is lacking as a person – usually due to the practice of making lower-energy choices which inevitably lead to a spiritual-emotional-self-love Void.). I do My best to“Guide them to become inspired instead of ired,“~ meaning, choose to direct the less-evolved to avoid jealousy when they can take the high road to self-love via My inspiration.

I have always graciously given people “another chance” and, unfortunately, they seldom appreciate such a gift. I have had people look Me in My face and lie to Me to sabotage My events and projects; steal from Me; cost Me money; twist My (or others’) words around to try to cause trouble (see My Blog post regarding Mollena); accuse Me of doing the low-life things that they would do ~ anything to try to bring Me down to their sad, little levels of awareness. You’ve noticed that I have cut certain people out of My Domain (you suddenly don’t see them mentioned in My Newsletters; you don’t see them at events with Me anymore; I no longer promote their works; etc., and I don’t speak ill of them, which would be beneath Me). There is a VERY good reason I have removed them. (See Outting or Protecting and Handling My Stalkers – How To Deal With A Stalker.)

I know that Karma is a magnificent thing and I always wish accelerated karma for everyone ~ Myself included. This is why I don’t “do retaliation.“ When reality catches up to offenders, that Void becomes so large that all they can see is how much they miss the Beauty of My Energies. Those who evolve will come back ~ how they come back determines whether or not I will allow them access to My Domain ever again. If they really believe the stupidity that led them to attempt to take advantage of My generosity, they will remain on the fringes with that Void growing ever deeper. If they recognize that they had a “brain fart moment,” I may give them the opportunity to prove their worthiness of knowing My kindness again. MOST important is that they offer a proper apology, which most creeps would rather die than do!

They always come back – always. After all, I have what they want and I do just fine without them. And I sleep peacefully at night with a clear conscience.

Forgive the offenders. I understand that it is a lack of self-love that causes people to offend Me. I do pity them, but just enough to make sure that I don’t do anything to actually cause damage to them. I forgive those who have attempted to steal from Me, take advantage of My kindness, and I even forgive those who have rewritten history to somehow make Me wrong when their horrid behavior caused Me to take action to save their lives from people threatening to “eliminate” them ~ and I mean this literally. I do not have to do anything to offenders, nor would I ever cause damage to MY KARMA, when the offenders’ behaviors will balance things out just fine – I’ve seen the truth of Karma in action on many, many occasions.

The issue is whether the offenders can forgive themselves… One can have a lot of fun with that… and I usually do!

“To err is human; to forgive, divine” (Alexander Pope) and I truly am a Goddess incarnate… And it takes work!

Here are some resources for Forgiveness and for keeping your Karma straight! You will also find great benefit from My Concepts for Forgiveness.

Learning To Forgive – a good how-to guide

In conclusion, I have seriously contemplated the concept of loving a person in order to forgive them. Sometimes, you just have to say, “I love you enough to forgive you and so that I don’t hurt you, I completely release you.” That works, too. There is no rule that says you have to keep an offender in your Domain. There is no rule that says you have to like a person in order to forgive them, either. Forgiveness is for you and your self-love first and foremost. By being the example, you lead.

Forgiveness

December 1, 2011

Q: Dear Mistress Didi,

Last night, I overheard You discussing forgiveness. I only caught a bit of what You said, but it really helped me with a difficult situation that I am struggling with. Can You please offer me some more advice? Thank You, Ma’am.

~ Grateful

Dear Grateful,

Do understand that I write this from the perspective of a Sadist. Where I choose the term, “punish” and similar words, I suggest you choose an action that resonates with your Truth. I’m a Libra (The Scales), so perhaps that also explains what I’m about to say.

I have a 3-strikes-you’re-out-rule for Myself because the first time, shame on you; the second time, I was gracious and you set yourself up for the Divine Torture I’m going to extremely enjoy when/if you offend Me the third time!

My commitment is to the Win-Win. I do My very best to keep My Karma in balance. So, I do everything from the place of understanding that everyone and everything in Our Universe is here to teach Our souls lessons. When people disappoint Us – and they always will – it is part of Our mutual lessons. It is not so much the situation as it is what We do with the situation that allows Us to grow towards Joy – if We choose to.

Now, here’s the tricky part: We are conditioned by religion, social mores (plural, noun, Sociology:folkways of central importance accepted without question and embodying the fundamental moral views of a group) & pressures, family “stuff,” etc., to believe that:

evolving means to deny anger and all of the feelings that are natural to being disappointed, disturbed ~ “dissed” – which is ludicrous and against Nature.

We should somehow be all-knowing so that when people disappoint Us, “I should have” known better, seen it coming, [insert self-defeating statement here].

it is either all Our fault OR the other person’s fault and We misunderstand personal responsibility. It’s not until We’re adults that the concept of the dynamic of the interaction between ALL parties gives Us the opportunity to take a good look at Our egos (which shows Us how We are in/out of balance with Self-Love) presented to Us – if We’re lucky.

Having said that, I CHOOSE to permit everyone the opportunity to show Me who they are and HOW they are – which can often be quite different in behavior due to how folks handle stress and FEAR = False Experiences Appearing Real. And because I embrace the fact that I Am A Sadist, and My Motto is Don’t start none, won’t be none, when they choose to operate outside of the Realm of Love and Respect, I enjoy creating balance for Myself.

I had the great fortune of meeting the Dalai Lama who told Me (I’m paraphrasing) that Karma is whether You can sleep at night. I forgive offenders because, as Jesus said, “they know not what they do.” And if they do know, they chose to receive the consequences for their actions – consciously or subconsciously – it’s all in Divine Order for evolution. I torture them because I do know what I’m doing to take care of My needs and I own My responsibility for doing so. I always choose to torture with the opportunity for evolution, because I’m also taking care of My Karma.

Some people think this is enacting vengeance. I believe that the same way the offender gave Me the opportunity to grow through pain, I am the Agent of Karma in return by giving them the opportunity to evolve however they choose to interpret the consequences of their actions.

Forgiveness first begins with Yourself because We have to undo all of that “conditioning” that is designed to make Us wrong. Once I do that, I find that I can choose to torture from a place of giving love, rather than from a place of retaliation. I prefer to reward rather than to punish. Sometimes, a gift can have an amazing sting, but one always grows through pain. Whether they choose to grow towards Joy is their choice.

Hedonist that I Am (I created My own religion, Spiritual Hedonism™), I choose Joy!

Fabulous & Guilty By Association

December 22, 2011

Dear Mistress Didi*,

A while back, You addressed an issue with a “dominant” whom You helped get into The Scene and who abused Your kindness. I recently had a very similar experience where the person I helped has been riding on my reputation, has sabotaged my project, cheated me out of money, and is now telling lies about everything that has ever happened! I remember reading Your post and being able to “trust in Karma”, as You suggested. Would You please repost it so that I can share it with others who are being affected by this guy?

Much gratitude, Miss V

Dear Miss V.,

It is My pleasure to repost as the same idiot who prompted the original posting has over-stepped the boundaries and is now in the process of receiving the Karma he created! Best of luck to you!

November 21, 2008

There seems to be some kind of epidemic of incredible stupidity going on these days. Too many times during the past few months – and more so during the past few weeks, I have received COMPLAINTS about people who have been seen with Me.

Let’s get something straight right away. Just because a person is seen with Me does not mean that the person has anything to do with Me whatsoever. Do not base your assumptions about these people based on what you think you know about Me.

I am The PartyDomme and I invite people to join Me at My events and at events given by others all the time. That’s a wonderful way to meet new people and get a chance to know them. Unlike far too many people, I know that I have nothing to lose by sharing MyPartySelf with others.

However, there have been a few times where My generosity has given stupid people opportunities to be the failures they hold onto being, which has put small dampers on things I’ve carefully planned. I have even taken My generosity to a fault and given My repeated forgiveness and opportunities for them to “make good” and, sadly, they have made commitments to remain screw-ups. For some idiotic reason, the people in their lives allow them to get away with this awful behavior and they have made the terrible mistake of thinking they can receive the same disservice to humanity from Me.

Most folks would stop any and all association with people who continually screw-up their situations. But as My Amazing Grandmother taught Me, I believe you should “consider the source”. If you know someone is incapable of doing things they want to believe they can do, then don’t require them to do such things. If there are other qualities about the person that you enjoy, you have the option of keeping them around for those enjoyments. No one is capable of being everything to you. Hedonist that I am, I enjoy what is available to be enjoyed.

The problem with this way of thinking, I have found and am receiving too many emails about, is that some people are so far gone in their delusions of who they believe they are that they choose to pretend to be completely unaware of/refuse to acknowledge that their bad behavior is causing them problems. (Note: I have made them aware of the complaints and they have continued their offenses.)

Their problems will not be Mine. There is honor in The True Scene and Good People look out for each Other, hence all of the emails I’ve received. These discourteous people are basking in the glorious glow of My vibe, My works, My friends, My social circling, and have presented themselves as the people they want to believe they are by using MY REPUTATION to open doors in attempts to create opportunities with others that I have established relationships with! Some people have gone as far as to attend and copy the workshop presentations that I have given and market themselves using My techniques and definitions – verbatim! That’s plagiarism, folks! Some cultures believe that imitation is the highest form of flattery. I consider it thievery.

Clarifying further: To use My name to boost your opinion of yourself in your presentation to people you want something from is attempting to “steal” from My reputation that I built on My own merits. The fact that these offenders have nothing of merit of their own to present to others and that they need to use Me for validation is creepy. To present My techniques, step-by-step the way that I have demonstrated them, and to even copy the descriptions from My webpages is attempting to “steal” My proprietary information. At least add something of your own ~ do anything other than just replace My name in My descriptions! These actions can be considered a form of identity theft.

I always give people the benefit of the doubt and a chance to do better the next time until they prove to Me that they are unworthy. I am always supportive of people who choose to behave from the Highest Within and I leave those who don’t in their zones of depraved banality.

For some reason, these offenders think that I am just going to let them get away with their transgressions against Me. Again, I addressed their actions and they chose to insist that they meant no offense, yet they have continued to repeat the same bad behaviors — as if their lame apologies will have any meaning to Me again — if they even bothered to apologize (then, there is that bad behavior, too, which gets you tossed to the curb).

I don’t accept the fallacy that they are “unaware of their behaviors” — especially when I have carefully detailed the problems to them in writing to make sure they have a reference for their future adventures. I pay attention to the fact that they are selfish, inconsiderate, poorly attempting to manipulate, and disrespectful all around. I shake My head and pity them; this is a serious sign of inferiority and a lack of self-love.

By now, We’d think that people know not to mistake kindness for weakness – especially My kindness. Fortunately for them, I don’t waste My time with trifling losers. One of the best things about karma is understanding that not only does what you do come back to you, but what they do comes back to them, too. People with these types of usurping/invasive psyches will dig their own graves while I sit back with a glass of champagne and watch them fall into their pits.

It is just a matter of time.

Always MY Pleasure,
