manifests. and likewise, if we put forth a negative cause,
a negative effect will follow. This is the principle of karma.
please understand that whatever you think or feel about
people and conditions in life are actual causes, and this
takes into account and includes all of your deeds as well.
The divine has structured our world in such a way that we
will eventually experience the direct effects of all of our
own creations, or causes, and this is the purpose of the
karmic law.
humanity is either unaware of or very lax regarding
the karmic principle, and thus continually generates causes
that create karma, or indebtedness. This karma then accrues
to levels that are completely impossible to negotiate and
spiritualize in a single lifetime, and reincarnation is there-
fore set into motion so we can return to the physical world
to gather the fruit of both our good and bad karmas. please
understand that karma is always remedial and not punitive.
This is the divine law, the real justice and universal fairness
that permeates all life. The karmic principle exists simply
to allow soul to gradually awaken and unfold beyond the
selfishness and limitation of the human condition.
Through the creation of both good and bad karma,
souls are inexorably bound to the great wheel of birth and
death, upon which they are forced to spin for literally mil-
lions of years. This cyclical repetition of birth, death, and
rebirth has been metaphorically referred to as the “wheel
of eighty-four.” as long as karmic debt remains on the
physical plane, the individual must return to fulfill it. This
nearly endless up and down motion within the lower planes
is the basis for the metaphor of the wheel of eighty-four,
or what is commonly known as reincarnation. The only
way to get off this wheel, the continuous cycle of birth and
death within the physical, astral, causal, and mental realms,
is to attain self realization, which is the first major goal of
