What answer can be given to the profane ones who—when speaking to them about the law of return—allege that they cannot believe in it, since nobody has gone and returned in order to narrate what they have seen?

Samael Aun Weor: Days come and go. The suns return to their point of departure after thousands of years. The years return time and time again. The four stations of spring, summer, autumn, and winter always return. So, there is no need to believe in the law of return, since it is so evident, given that everybody is seeing it every day. Thus also the souls return, come again to this world, since “return” is a law that is in all creation.

‘Karma means actions: the actions of our body, speech and mind. This subject is very meaningful …'

'Every action we perform leaves an imprint, or potentiality, on our very subtle mind, and each imprint eventually gives rise to its own effect. Our mind is like a field, and performing actions is like sowing seeds in that field. Virtuous actions sow seeds of future happiness and non-virtuous actions sow seeds of future suffering. These seeds remain dormant in our mind until the conditions for them to ripen occur, and then they produce their effect. In some cases, this can happen many lifetimes after the original action was performed.’

Consciousness is an energy, and energy cannot be destroyed. What this means is that the Consciousness does not die. The Consciousness is an energy that changes, and it changes according to cause and effect.

Why would energetic hygiene be very different? If you sit around in energetic "mud", like hate and spite, you're going to get it on yourself. And if you start throwing hate and spite at others, you're going to be affected by it, as well.

The concept of getting back what you give out doesn't have to be couched in Christian or new age terms in order to be a logical potential outcome.

However daunting as the task may seem to you the rewards for your efforts are unmatched. A sin-eater literally removes the greater to the smallest spec of sin, negative energy, guilt, conscious or unconscious anxiety, and resets your karmic balance to zero.

... karma’s bandied around these days to imply that there’s a divine plan. It doesn’t just represent the natural order; it goes on to suggest that this order is for our benefit. It’s straight out of the Bible. Hence: the universe is looking out for me; what goes around comes around; everything happens for a reason.

Well, everything does happen for some reason or another, but why should it revolve around me? That’s wishful thinking. A Facebook friend of mine recently received an unexpected $19 cheque in the mail shortly after losing $11 in cash. He called it karma, as if the two events were directly connected. However, we already have a word for remote coincidences like that: Luck....

It’s not easy. Countless causes and conditions collide to produce a constant stream of effects, and those effects in turn become new streams of causes and conditions. We never get the whole picture any more than we notice each frame of a movie, though we can see patterns with more or less clarity, depending on how much mental space we create for ourselves.

Trouble is, we don’t always want to see clearly. What we really want is reassuring explanations, even if they’re illusory.

its weird, but enjoyable.
