I just watched Steve Jobs movie over the weekend and I must say, that he is indeed a very inspiring model.
He is an asshole in the show though, and I think perhaps he could very well be, if not, Apple won't churn out so many amazing products if his people were not pushed to the limit.
From that show, I saw a true life story of karma that played out right in front of me.
I also saw how the subtle consciousness of Jobs from young had dragged him all the way to adulthood and possibly to the end of his life.
For the first story of karma, which I found really amazing, is that Jobs fired his many friends who started up the company with him, and also his many subordinates in his company. His way of firing people was tactless, fierce and generally pride-hurting.
And karma has him to go through that experience that he brought to many people whom he heartlessly fired over the 5 years. And he was fired from his OWN company that he started.
This is the exciting part (I say exciting part because I am always excited when I find literal proofs in life with the law of karma), that its literally IMPOSSIBLE to have Jobs fired from his own company. Apple is the company that Jobs started. His position is the highest in the company. Who else in the company can fire him? NOBODY. But he got fired anyways. He needed to go through this "medicine" that he was giving everybody around him. Jobs needed to know how it feels like to be fired heartlessly. This is the amazing part. How? The company got listed and Jobs was fired through a unified decision at a board meeting. This is how amazing karma law play out. It always gets even. Even through in the most amazing way where its literally impossible. But it will happen. Might not happen in this lifetime though. But trust me, it ALWAYS happen.
Such is the gentle yet all surrounding energy of karma that one does not have any capacity to escape from it when it comes, be it good or bad.
The second thing I got from the movie is the intensity of his subtle consciousness. For this I am purely doing it on my own guess. So please don't quote me right or wrong on this. This is just my own feelings about Jobs in general.
Its a pretty known fact that Jobs was adopted. And very often, as an adopted child feels lonely and abandoned. This subtle 'condition' of being abandoned and lonely can remain in the mind for a very long time, while the main host (Jobs, in this case) goes about his daily event. This 'condition' or 'belief' - that he should be abandoned and remained abandon (the mind often subconsciously prefers to stay in the 'condition' or 'belief' that one has been brought up with) actually drives all his decisions in his everyday life, whether big or small. The unaware man is unable to change that, unless he has a certain amount of meditation and awareness in the things that he do to note the very subtle frequency of his own mind.
This is how I see why Jobs was an asshole to the people around him. His 'condition' or 'belief' = feeling of abandonment. And his fierceness cause his co-workers and even his friends to abandon him, which was exactly what his mind state prefers to stay in as a comfort zone. One may think this is ridiculous, why would one sabotage ourselves? But if we quiet down and observe the actions he made, we can see that it is quite apparent. One may be outwardly looking for love and support, where in fact, its own subtle beliefs are the ones that are actually driving the vehicle of life, totally unknown to the host.
This is how important a child's life is. His beliefs from the age of 0 years to (I say) 3 years or 4 years, will shape his entire life. Until he has gathered enough power from his awareness to break through the chain energy of beliefs that has held his entire life.
We have to note that our beliefs have very strong interconnecting energy links to our entire physic and physical body, often extending out to our environment, due to the long time that this belief has built up a support system of its own.
This is the reason why meditation is so important. It allows us to go back to ourselves, gently, little by little and discover how our own mind works, and then go deeper into our own negative beliefs to lessen, or strengthen our positive beliefs.
Our mind and body have the natural tendency to heal ourselves. We just have to be aware that we have such power within us.
