Question:
What is positive karma leading to Salvation/Nirvana?
What is negative karma leading to Hell, Purgatory, Samsara?
Answer:
First I will describe Buddhist/Hindu concepts, then Quantum Physics concepts, and then link them together to help you understand karma, and our interconnected reality, and your Salvation/Nirvana.
Buddhism
Buddhism is a sequel to Hinduism. The Vedic Period of India started around 1,500 BC. Buddhism began around 455 BC. Hindus developed the Law of Karma and Samsara, a cycle of birth and death. If you learn your lessons, you evolve (karma positive), if you do not, then you devolve (karma negative). The goal is Nirvana, reaching a state of Unconditional Love for all Beings. The Buddha helped people understand how to reach this state.
Story of the Buddha:
The Buddha’s story is a fascinating one. He was raised by an aristocratic family. He grew up around royalty. Then one day, he decided to leave this life and live the life of a monk. He went outside the palace walls. He discovered sickness, old age, and death at the age of 29. He then lived in the forest, and meditated through his fears in the jungle. He tried to release his fears and desires for sex, food, and comfort. He realized physical and material possessions were not the answer. He became an ascetic, to the point of becoming skin and bones. He realized this was not the answer either. He faced ridicule from ascetics. Yet, he went his own way, following his intuition. Then he received revelations of the Four Noble Truths and the Eight Fold Path that most Buddhists follow today. He also discovered Paticca Samuppada and The Five Aggregates, which relate to Quantum Physics. Here they are all summarized for your understanding.
Four Noble Truths:
Life is suffering
The cause of suffering is that people want things and do wrong actions because of ignorance, which leads to suffering (greed, lust, craving, attachments, jealously, hatred, ignorance, etc.)
People can end suffering by letting go of their attachments and desires
People can end suffering by following the Noble Eightfold Path
Noble Eightfold Path:
Right View, understanding of the Four Noble Truths
Right Intention, heart-based / holy / innocent / pure consciousness
Right Speech, the frequency/vibration, or the waves you give out to other beings when you interact with them
Right Action, innocence and purity rather than sinfulness
Right Livelihood, living an honorable life
Right Effort, a desire for purity, innocence, holiness
Right Mindfulness, attention focused on your heart’s intention, body’s wellbeing; not getting lost in gossip, delusions, etc.
Right Concentration: Developing True Wisdom by concentrating on a single meditating object, be that your heart’s purpose, your calling from God, etc.
Paticca Samuppada:
All things are dependent on other things. All rise or fall from a relationship with another particle.
The Five Aggregates
Form: The sense organs and how they experience matter
Feeling: How a person feels about something; pleasant, unpleasant, and indifferent
Perception: How a person conceptualizes and categorizes their experiences; “through experience where you had a negative, or positive, feeling, your perception is completely different from someone else.”
Mental formations: A person’s thoughts, emotions, attitudes, intentions, and habits; there are 51 different mental formations
Consciousness: A person’s general awareness of the world around them; i.e. being human

What we call a ‘being’, or an ‘individual’, or ‘I’, is only a convenient name or a label given to the combination of these five groups. They are all impermanent, all constantly changing. What is is impermanent is dukkha’ (Yad aniccam tam dukkham). This is the true meaning of the Buddha’s words: ‘In brief the Five Aggregates of attachment are dukkha’. They are not the same for two consecutive moments. Here A is not equal to A. They are in flux of momentary arising and disappearing.” — Walpola Rahula, from the book What the Buddha Taught”
In a nutshell, The Five Aggregates are what makes up a human being. It is what makes you you… “you”. However, the Five Aggregates teaches us that “you” are a temporary grouping (aggregate) of different constantly changing things (form, feelings, perceptions, mental formations, and consciousness) that make up your physical and mental existence.” — Alan Peto
Quantum Physics
Quanta 3: Reality is Relational (by Carlo Rovelli)
“The third discovery about the world articulated by quantum mechanics is the most profound and difficult — and one that was not anticipated by the atomism of antiquity.
The theory does not describe things as they “are”: it describes how things “occur,” and how they “interact with each other.” It doesn’t describe where there is a particle but how the particle shows itself to others. The world of existent things is reduced to a realm of possible interactions. Reality is reduced to interaction. Reality is reduced to relation.
The world of quantum mechanics is not a world of objects: it is a world of events.
Quantum mechanics does not describe objects: it describes processes and events that are junction points between processes.”
— Carlo Rovelli, an Italian Theoretical Physicist, from his book Reality is Not What it Seems
My Interpretation of Buddhism and Quantum Physics Combined for your Salvation/Nirvana
This last line by Carlo Rovelli is an important one. It means that at the exact point of relation between two particles is the key.
This relates to Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, and many religions. We are not just “me” or “I”, we are actually a Family. We are interrelated. We are interactions. Our frequency, vibration, and intention with another person, animal, tree, plant, bird, or tiny little particle, matters. It creates a wave pattern. It is Known by God.
It can be a positive wave pattern of love, creating positive karma for the universe we are all part of, and you can reach Salvation and Nirvana if you are constantly attentive to your surroundings and filled with Compassion and Love for all Beings.
Or, it can be the opposite, and you will face the cycle of samsara of life and death until your lessons are learned.
So this is about decision points. This is about relationality. This is about your soul’s choice in how you interact with your surroundings. It is your intentionality. Your vibration and frequencies create waves that are felt and known by the universe, the other particle(s), and God, who is Real. He Knows your conscience, and whether you are lying or in Truth. That is how your Karma is calculated.
That is why when you die, you go through a process of reviewing your life, and then you are given a break to see how you can make better choices, and decide what life form you will evolve into in order to create more positive karmic decisions and hopefully reach Salvation/Nirvana. This is called Reincarnation, this is called the Cycle of Samsara.
You are here on Earth to Learn to Love Yourself and Others. To heal your past ancestral karma. To heal your trauma from your family.
You are a unique soul. Your family is fallible (capable of making mistakes or being sinful.
Sinfulness, from God’s Word in The Bible is: being dishonest, oppressing the poor, being greedy, envious, lustful, having addictive desires, oversized and egotistical pride, being sexual immoral, committing murder, stealing, having uncontrolled anger (wrath), following false prophets (yikes; they’re probably egotistical maniacs, FYI, like the Mormon ideology), cursing God and using God’s Name in Vain or to gain votes (like the Republicans do in the US; it’s blasphemy; they’ll all go to Hell).
These are sins in The Bible. Read the Old Testament. That is why Jesus said to follow Him, God, instead; rather than your parents, society, or people who are fallible and/or fallen.
*Note: Stealing and anger are more difficult concepts to explain. If your community abandons you, like in Babylon, the US (read the Book of Revelations in the Bible). If you are in poverty and you steal a loaf of bread, don’t worry. America is Satanic. There are calculations God performs to Know whether you are in the Right or in the Wrong. Feel it in your heart. Are you a black person living in the Projects? Did you receive reparations, get paid for being enslaved and doing all that work? Has the government provided opportunities for you? No. So remain steadfast in your faith. God is a Gentle God and Knows the Nation of America has failed African Americans, Native Americans, and even now white people in the South who are in despair and committing suicide they are so poor and uneducated. Therefore, these concepts of sins can be more difficult. Listen to your Heart. Spread out your stealing to different massive corporations, like CVS, Walmart, Target, Walgreens, 7-Eleven, etc. That should help even it out.
We are living in a world that is not caring for the impoverished. There is massive inequality. The 1–10% own 50% of the wealth. This is not in line with God’s Word. We need to distribute, circulate the money, obviously!
Listen to your Heart. Meditate. Read The Bible. Read about Hinduism. Read about Lakotaism. Read the Qur’an. Read the Tao Te Ching. Read the I Ching. Read what feels Right and Good to You.
This is not just about your life in this body. This is about your soul from the past, the beginning, into eternity, the future. Reincarnation is Real. It’s in The Bible. It’s in Hinduism. I am trying to help educate you and everybody about The Laws of the Universe to help you exit the Cycle of Samsara, reach Nirvana, reach Heaven, Ascend, and find Peace and Love in Your Heart and Soul, Knowing you are Right with God. You are innocent, free of sinfulness.
The Bible, Luke, 25–27
25 Many people were traveling with Jesus. He said to them, 26 “If you come to me but will not leave your family, you cannot be my follower. You must love me more than your father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters — even more than your own life (I would add the interpretation: because this is about your Soul, not just this body’s lifetime)! 27
