Karma and the Soul

Each individual is a potential vessel of Cosmic Spirit and the World. Each opens according to his karma.

From the Book of the Wise


Karma of the Spirit and the Earthly

A student asked his teacher:

What is Karma?

A good place to start is to establish the unique form of the human soul, and ask How? Where did it come from? Then take a stone or piece of wood, anything all the way up to the animals, and we can trace them to something earthly. With man you come to yourself, and the self is the cause of your being, even in so far as the space you have live in within your self is your own and separate from the world. So now, what is the foundation of all other things, is not the same for a human being. So then start with the soul and work from that to the source of itself, and you come to the same source as the world was before the world was a world. This world man carries about with him, but he cannot see anything external that tells him anything of his inner world. If nature too, as spirit, approached the creations of the world and came to a man as an external being, she too would not be able to say why he thinks, or what he is thinking for that is within him. But when a man has befriended this same spirit by shaping his Karma so as to develop himself, then the world spirit joins with his soul. If this is a man's karma, then he is a spirit man, but if the man looks for his self as a body, then he is a man where only earthly karma is visible in him. He must train himself to look correctly for that which is spirit in him and in the world.


Knowing The Book of Life

Life is an open book for you to read it, you need to know the language,
For you to write in it, you need to know truth.
For you to know it, you need to be able to grow in the language and thoughts it presents.
To feel, you need another to know you as you are, and to see yourself you need love to guide you to the consciousness of your true being, and how it touches and fills others with life.


Knowing You Are A God

It is a flame which kills but gives new life,

unless a man-woman loses his life he cannot have a New Life,

what man would put new wine in an old skin.

Take off the old skin, and underneath is the new fresh skin and in that seeing

you will know you are a god.


Knowledge

"As light shines into darkness, darkness tries to find itself but cannot for the light. But Light has seen, is silent, and knows."
