If Karma is an idea that actions shape future experiences. Then identity, that is formed from personal choices, relationships, and cultural influences, decides the kind of energy we put into the world. We are at our core, our values, and the decisions we make all contribute to the cycle of cause and effect.

The relationship between identity and karma also speaks to transformation. If we change through meaningful effort, self-awareness, or personal growth—we shift the energy we release into the world, possibly altering the karma we receive in return. While early influences and past actions play a role, there’s always room to redefine who we are and, in turn, redirect the flow of karma.

Karma isn’t just a force that moves us around—what goes around –does indeed come back around, but its energy is something we shape with every thought, every choice, every interaction we have with just about anyone. And ironically at its heart is our identity. It’s the blueprint, the foundation from which all our energy originates. Who we are—our values, our emotions, how we treat each other—sets its tone, and the pace of the energy we send into the world.

It’s a ripple effect. A single action, no matter how small, creates movement that extends beyond what we can immediately see. If a benevolent person, who moves through life with kindness, integrity, and awareness, that energy flows outward. It touches others, because energy is a force of our nature, it returns in ways that one would believe to be a positive cycle.

And the same goes for if a person carries resentment, negativity, or harmful intentions. Those waves spread too. Inevitably shaping the experiences that would come back to them.

I believe that karma isn’t rigid—it’s fluid, always adhering to the shifts of who we are. When we evolve and make our changes that are intentional. Like breaking generational patterns, healing past wounds, or just choosing a different path for a different life. We change the energy we release. And just like a magnet it pulls that energy back to us.

No one is forever bound to their past. The weight of old decisions does not mean a person is incapable of becoming something new. If identity is the author, karma is the story—an ever-changing narrative that reflects not just where we’ve been but where we’re willing to go.

And karma is one of those unseen threads woven into the fabric of our identities, shaping the choices we make and the path we walk. If our identity is like the tapestry –that is formed by our interactions, experiences, relationships, and the era we live in. Then karma is the energy those threads hold, influencing how the pattern unfolds.

At its core, karma and identity are deeply intertwined. Who we are, where we’ve been, and what we’ve done all play a role in shaping our future experiences. The beauty is that transformation is always possible, and with it, a shift in the energy we send into the world.
