The Law of Karma |
Karmic administrators
According to esoteric teachings, a soul planning its next incarnation will do so together with some great beings called the Lords of Karma . They are beings like arch angels and assist with the balancing of karma in the order considered most expedient.
The Law of Karma is not a big machine in which you put an action at one end resulting in an automatic effect at the other. The Law of Karma is the law in existence that is governed and regulated the most. Its clear intention is to purify and develop the conscience of humans. Therefore, it has to be regulated intelligently, as say a man should be killed a thousand times because he had killed a thousand people. Then he would never be able to progress. Consequently, the effects will stop when a change of mind has taken place and good actions have balanced bad ones. It is also in the power of the Lords of Karma to hold back any karma until the good opportunity is there to facilitate karmic balancing.
The intervention of God
God did not leave the world to man's own discretion and free will. For even though man has his own free will, God will see to it that humans are continuously stimulated in order to choose what is good, true and beautiful.
God stimulates man primarily through his individual soul working in the heart of man. The growing conscience and feeling of responsibility are the first responses that we as humans get from our divine soul.
But God also emits ideas via the enlightened souls whom the Gospels call the kingdom of God and esoteric literature calls the Lords of Wisdom. These ideas flow evenly into the human mind and are the reason behind many new inventions and cultural orientations in the world.
God may also let enlightened souls incarnate to give man messages that will lead him out of darkness. These incarnated souls are known through history as being those who changed the thought process and emotional make-up of mankind. Christ and Buddha are probably the two souls who up to date have had greatest influence on the evolution of mankind.
