Re: ABSOLUTE and KARMA

Dear M, and Friends:

What I am trying to convey is the following: (this is of course
imagery, and is not intended to show this is an exact working, it
is an allegory).

We all know that the Sun attracts the planets, and they by their
movement stay at particular orbital lengths away from it. But
the influence of the SUN as magnetism and attraction (as the
astronomers say) goes way out into space and affects, or
determines, its relation to other Suns.

Our Earth has its own magnetism and attraction (we call it
gravity), it pervades us and all the rest of the area around the
Earth, and serves in part to hold the Moon in its orbit, and us,
and other objects, from flying off the surface.

The influence of electricity and of magnetism is everywhere. Its
like a vital SPACE and, it comes as "the Great Breath" idea, used
by H P B in Theosophy in describing the activity (?) of the
ABSOLUTE -- everywhere -- and is, of course, a part of us too.

Thought from our minds is like a radiation and sometimes we catch
each other's ideas when we are able to "tune in on them." But
our thoughts and desires move out and away from us constantly.
Some H P B say coalesce with an "elemental" on the Astral Plane.
In any case they are living their own lives, and carry our
imprint.

The ABSOLUTE is also like the Sun's radiant magnetism. It works
near and far, and perhaps our Sun's influence like this, extends
to the limits of "known space." But the ABSOLUTE goes way beyond
that and no mental or even physical limits can be envisaged.

Our Earth provides an influence and one could say: it is like the
magnetism of the earth's area we live in, and it is common for
all.

Our thoughts are like the Karmic links that we place on our
desires, wants or aversions. They are a part of the "little
lives" (atoms and molecules) in space around us. And they come
and go, and some, when many of them come together (condense or
solidify) make up our bodies.

Our mutual magnetism makes living patterns (under the action of
our Karma in our Astral and Pranic "principles") and serves to
draw us all together regardless of the physical distance between
us. It is like a "carrier wave" in radio work, the carrier wave
also carries the patterns to the place where they are needed or
can be perceived. Their influence continues and goes out to the
end of space....

Smaller vibrations travel along it and modify it -- so we get a
distinct and individual "Hi-Fi." Every living atom has these
peculiar to itself. These are also related to our Karma, as if
they are distorted or disturbed, they have to return to us for
settlement and adjustment -- thus ewe get "accidents" of "good:
or "bad luck."

It is a huge idea, many details and diversifications, and the
managing of it all sounds impossibly stupendous. Yet that's the
easiest way to think of the vast harmony that is our universe and
our living with each other. One way to look at it is that the
ABSOLUTE in manifestation has many "assistants." In fact the
whole of Nature, visible and invisible make up these sensitive
assistants, and they all work under regular and common laws. We
are also a part of that continuity. The "Astral Light" and the
"Akasa" are the areas in which this takes place.

Maybe this could help get the perspective of graded relationships
that have a continuity and a rationale. It links the "invisible"
to the "visible." And the word, or title LAW, or KARMA, covers
it.

Karma (as the law of inter-action) is an aspect of the ABSOLUTE
in the sense that its universal and always acting. It provides
for harmony and regulation when "MANIFESTATION' begins operation
again. Rest is the opposite of activity, but the two fall under
the law of rotation -- Karma again. And we are an indispensable
part of that WHOLE. Every part of the ONE WHOLE ( ABSOLUTE) is
essential to it.

Look at any computer and at the millions of computers now in
common use around the world -- they have to be made to exact
specifications or their billions and trillions of components
cannot interact in harmony, each with the other as needed, and no
INTERNET could work. The laws of physical and electrical and
magnetic matter are at work here.

Why should they not work with equal accuracy with human
thoughts, feelings and desires? Why should not reincarnation
take care of our Egoic "return" when our individual period of
"rest" between lives is over ? Why do we return to these our
bodies after a night's sleep? Why don't we (the EGO) go to some
other body?

How else to account for us (EGOS) and for the phenomena we (as
individuals) can sense, feel and see of the Earth and the
Universe, and of each-other ?

Best wishes,

Dal
