In this video Aaron Doughty challenges conventional ideas about karma and the law of attraction, arguing that karma is not a fixed record of past‑life deeds but a set of patterns that exist only in the present moment. He explains that what people call "past lives" are better understood as "parallel incarnations"—simultaneous versions of the self that are accessible depending on one’s current state of consciousness. By recognizing that the only reality is the now, viewers can see that stories about past karma only have power if they choose to give them power. Aaron describes how the ego mind tries to control outcomes through the law of attraction, while the higher‑self consciousness trusts the process and expands awareness beyond limiting patterns. He emphasizes that becoming aware of current behavioral patterns allows one to consciously rewrite the story, change the feedback loop of "what you put out is what you get back," and thereby shape future possibilities. Practical advice includes observing present‑moment actions, choosing new narratives, and focusing on adding value in the now rather than dwelling on imagined past‑life influences. The video concludes with typical YouTube calls to action and a mention of a free PDF of recommended law‑of‑attraction books.

This video will show you the truth about karma and whether it really exists. I'm going to be explaining to you how karma may or may not be holding you back with the law of attraction and how you can really push through it so that you can get and become the person you want. Welcome back to another video. My name is Aaron and I help people expand their consciousness. Now in this video, I'm going to be talking to you about karma, understanding some of the principles that are the baseline fundamentals when it comes to understanding what karma really could be, understanding the power we have in the present moment right now and how the stories we tell ourselves might be holding ourselves back because of a simple belief. Now the way I view karma is a little bit different than I think the stereotypical way that people understand karma. A lot of people think of karma in the form of past lives. So the idea that we have past lives and that if we've done something in a past life that will carry over to this life now, and this may be why I'm experiencing this with the law of attraction or why I'm experiencing this type of thing. The idea behind this and the way I view it is that the only moment that does exist is this moment right now. We may have the experience of a linear time-space reality, which means we can call back and say, oh, when I was 6, but of course when we were 6 years old, it was still this moment right now. It was just from a different point of view. Now the idea is that I'm going to get a little bit deeper here, but the idea is that when we were 6 years old, that reality still exists right now. It's just that we have shifted beyond it because of how we are resonating and because of the experiences we've already had. Now to go even deeper, the idea is that there are an infinite number of parallel realities that that exists right now in this moment that we can connect to if they are relevant. But the idea is that because we're constantly expanding and evolving, sometimes it may be just relevant for us to be here right now. Now, this is something that normally isn't talked about because normally we think about things in a linear time-space reality, and I totally get it. But the problem with this is that many times we think that in the present moment right now, we are being held back from certain things because of things that may have happened in the quote-unquote past life. Well, let me share with you my perspective on the whole past life and all of those understandings. The only moment that exists is this moment right now. We did not have a past life more so than we have a parallel. It's called a parallel incarnation, which means that that past life exists right now in this moment, and it may have come from what we could fundamentally call— we'll go a little bit deeper here— the same oversoul. Might have certain relevances there. Well, we might connect to a past life or a future life, but it's all happening right now in the present moment depending on what we are currently doing and how we are currently being. Now the power in this is knowing that there is a certain pattern we are living in the present moment right now, and with this pattern that we're living right now in the present moment, we can connect to certain past lives that will resonate with that story we tell ourselves, with that pattern we're living. And then same thing with the future. But the idea is that in the present moment right now, these patterns do not have to have power over us if we decide that they don't. If we realize that we are not an accumulation of our past, we are who we choose to be in the present moment right now. Now, understanding this means that we can drop any story that we tell ourselves. You know, I hear some people say, well, maybe I'm experiencing this because of something that happened in a past life, or I was like this in a past life. We can tell ourselves that story, but at the deep fundamental core, I believe that based on who we are being right now, we will connect to different past lives at different times of our life because that is always changing. The past and the future are always changing depending on who we are being right now in the present moment, just like our future is changing depending on how we are being in the present moment. There is no set future. We are creating it from a point of free will. The past doesn't exist in the same way other than it was probable pasts depending on who we are being right now. We can connect to times of memories that we have of when we were confident. We can talk and think about memories we had of when we weren't confident. They all exist right now and the only thing that connects it is our own belief in our own story that we tell ourselves. Now let's take this a step further, but before I do that, let me just say You are not held back from your past. Karma does not really exist other than what power you believe it has over you. Now this means that you can become aware of whatever patterns you're living right now in the present moment, and that as you become aware of those patterns, you gain your power back because you can say, oh, I'm making people feel this way. I don't enjoy that. I'm making people feel this way. Maybe it's because of something that happened in a past life and it's a lesson for me. Nothing wrong with that. It might be relevant for you to see those parallel incarnations and notice I said parallel incarnations because they're not really past lives. They exist right now at the present moment. Now the power in this is that you can let go of that story. You can change that pattern by being aware of that pattern, saying, I don't prefer to, you know, what I put out is what I get back in the present moment. I don't prefer to put that out, but let's take this a step further now. And a step further is that there is an ego mind that we have, which is the one that's always trying to control everything with the law of attraction. We're trying to control our exact destiny, but as I've said many times, it's about also trusting the process. And expanding that awareness beyond the ego and into what we call a higher self-consciousness, being able to be aware of what that is and trust the process. Many times the best case scenario by our ego mind is only the floor for our higher mind because we don't think that far outside the box. We can't think that extravagant compared to our higher mind. Now in our life, there may have been certain themes that we intended to explore, maybe certain themes of, you know, certain challenges that we intended to go through in our life so that we could learn from it and we could expand ourselves. And most people that go through an immense amount of pain, it's some of the best things that ever happened to them because they grow from it. So in the same way, there may have been certain themes that in the present moment right now we intended to experience. And with those themes, we may be able to connect to past lives, which are actually parallel incarnations, and we may be able to make certain connections to those. And in the same way, those past lives are making connections to us, but they exist right now in this moment. Now this is kind of some, for some people, a very hard idea to understand because we can't take ourselves outside of our own bubble to know that we are actually much further beyond what we probably thought that we were. We go much further beyond the prior limitations we give ourselves and understanding who we are. We are an expanded point of consciousness and we go much further beyond just our our physical body. But the reason I wanted to share this video is because the story that you tell yourself isn't something you have to continue to tell yourself. The patterns that you're living don't have to be the patterns that you always live. And if you keep connecting the current pattern of your being with the past lives of who you were, then that will continue to have power over you. It's all a matter of your own definition. It's all a matter of your own choice. You know, I've looked into this and I've connected to so-called past lives, which are actually parallel incarnations. And as I change in the present moment now, as I changed my life themes, as I change and I grow as a person, I find that I'm connecting to different parts of my past. And I'll be honest with you, I don't get that deeply entrenched into it, or I don't go to people asking about my past lives that often because it's really irrelevant in a way to me. This for me personally, I'm more so focused on the present moment right now. How can I add the most amount of value to other people? How can I do my passion? How can I expand that in the present moment right now? That takes precedence over what happened in the past life because I know past life is always changing and also it's not a past life, it's a parallel incarnation. The only moment that exists is right now and because the only moment that exists is right now means that there are an infinite number of parallel realities of probable futures and of probable pasts. Now I know that this is kind of a deep concept. If you guys would like, I'll make more videos on this in the future. But the main point of this video is that you don't have to let your past lives, which is actually a parallel incarnation, have power over you right now in the present moment. You can tell yourselves a new story. The key to this is becoming aware of what the patterns are that you're living right now, and based on what you're putting out, that is what you're getting back, and that is what past you are connecting to. That's what future probabilities you are connecting to. So choose to be here now more than anything. Take action from a point of present action. Know that that story has no power over you other than the definitions you give it and the power that you give it. Once you become aware of the pattern, that's when you can really change it from that point of awareness. So with that being said, I hope you guys enjoyed this video.
