Kamma & thoughts: Thoughts (evil or good) arise because of old kamma; Honesty: be honest with yourself, don't suppress things, accept them (greed, anger etc.); Accepting the evil in our heart is difficult; “what you can't accept, you can't remove”; Freedom of accepting oneself: nothing to hide or to pretend; Kamma: there is no beings, no government, no God who do something onto you, everything comes because of your own doing in the past; story of a Christian mystic (Meister Eckhart) who had similar experiences with buddhist practitioners, he described a state beyond God; Letting-go: only when the heart understands, it will let go on his own.
