Imagine you started a journey of thousand times a thousand lifetimes. And before your adventure you made a plan, a goal for your trip. This very aim is Pankarma; a grandiose strategy, permeating all of your lives, embodying your soul's most desired challenge.
 

Beyond the path of life

If you haven't heard of the term 'pankarma', it has its natural explanation as I myself have launched the term. With the term, I mean the 'basic theme' that forms the basis of an individual's lifetime, over a long period of time. It can be said that each incarnation contains a number of 'milestones', characteristics, which constantly recur in each life epoch.


Definition of milestones

What exactly is a 'milestone' in a person's life. In this context, it refers to certain fundamental events that always recur. Incarnations come and go but these foundations always reappear. To give an example, it could be that the individual is moved to a far off place beyond the home environment, during a phase in their life. This will affect the individual in a certain way and the influence will therefore return time and time again.


The period of pankarma

For how long does the individual retain their specific pankarma? This is uncertain, but it is probably a very long period of time. We are probably talking here about a complete 'turn in the cosmos', a complete cycle of Universal transformation, including thousands of different incarnations. Such a cycle begins with the individual as an insignificant elementary particle and ends when the individual has evolved into a 'hyperbubble' of galaxy clusters; a super being.


Who chooses the individual's pankarma?

The universe is wondrous and unfathomable. All possibilities are available and the individual probably has full opportunity to shape his overall karma, his 'pankarma'. The time when this happens is probably when the individual is about to step, from an immaterial existence, straight into the manifested cosmos. The being is then formally one with the supreme divine existence. Hence it can be said that it is neither God nor the being that decides, but both. The Being sees the past epochs and perceives the coming ones; the choice is therefore easy.


Pankarma in everyday life

What is the 'point' of pankarma, one might wonder, what purpose does it serve? It is probably about broadening and gilding an individual's life experience, creating dynamism and excitement. And when other beings experience different destinies, the individual's experience of the world is also enriched, it begins to vibrate and come alive. And so the fabric of life flows on, ever-changing and unfathomable.
