Question: Can posting comments on the internet make karma? And is it necessary to write comments on the internet in order to give beneficial influence on people? Or is it enough just to make an effort to raise my consciousness for the ascension and to ask the ascended masters through invocations?
Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2021 Webinar – Being the Open Door for Planet Earth.
Well, my beloved, it is an important question to ask. Because even though it should be obvious, there are indeed many people and there are even some ascended master students who seem to believe that posting comments on the internet does not make karma. But how could it not when everything else you do makes karma? If you are posting comments that influence other people, then obviously, you will make karma. If you pass on comments from other people, and those comments have a limiting effect on people, you will make karma.
Consider today how one posting on Facebook can be shared by many, many people. If you go on Facebook and look at some of these postings that have millions of ‘likes’, or millions of ‘shares’, then in some cases, the people who started that post made tremendous karma, because they influenced many, many people. You spread some of these comments that are not factual, that are not tied to reality, whether it is about this or that topic, it does not matter. And obviously, you are making karma for doing so. How could you not? You are influencing other people.
In terms of whether it is necessary to post comments on the internet, that is an individual matter. You can certainly, at least for a time, focus on giving our teachings, using our tools, and then you can gradually see if you later get an intuitive prompting to start posting something on the Internet. You do not want to force yourself to post with the outer mind. You do not want to force yourself not to post by your mind. Of course in saying you make karma, well there is what you normally call a positive karma, a negative karma. In other words, there is karma that limits you by limiting other people or there is karma that helps you grow by helping other people.
You need to be relatively certain that the information you share is valid. Otherwise, you can make yourself quite a large amount of limiting karma just by putting one post on Facebook that is shared by others, or by sharing something that is then shared by others, and it spreads like rings in the water. I mean, if you consider before the internet, where you only interacted with certain people through what we might call physical means, you either interacted with them by meeting them personally, or by calling on the phone, writing them letters and so on, there was a limit to how much karma you could make. But with the Internet, and posting something on Facebook that is shared by many other people, you can suddenly make karma much faster than you could before.
