Introductory Statements
There is no greater evolutionary force in Creation than the karmic law of cause and effect. As the
primary means by which souls evolve through all dimensions of apparent time-space, it is the prime
mover in soul progression across all realms of incarnation.
It is itself a consequence and derivative of the grand Law of Free Will (the causative basis of manifest
Creation) by which beings are given the right and, indeed the duty to continually choose their way. As
its main function, the karmic law encourages and guides continual soul growth and the ineluctable
progress of time-space itself. It is no less magnificent than this, and generates the very pathways of all-
dimensional existence, being this close to the heart of the Creator-Logoi in fulfillment of their
unknowable Cosmic Plan.
Reaping what we sow, creating our own reality, meeting projected fragmentary aspects of inner life on
the canvas of so-called external activity -- all this is guided by the majestic laws of karma. It is the
process by which the aspected and apparently complex (ie, self-contradictory) personal self returns in
form, energy and consciousness to a completed universal self. Without karmic operation, souls literally
could not return to themselves.
In human life, we wonder why various circumstances come our way, why some of us enjoy streaming
pleasure while others seem doomed to constant limitation -- and yet, all this proceeds under
ineluctable karmic law, not accidental in the least. The universe is not capricious; terran humanity
simply doesn't comprehend the logic of soul progression along the long, multi-incarnational and multi-
dimensional way of polarized manifestation.
Gautama Buddha explained it simply and for practical usage in his primary teachings. As a "way-
shower," he pointed out that our virtuous thoughts and deeds are precursors to happiness, while
selfishness in all forms is the progenitor of suffering. And yet, many souls of deep love and kindness in
this world do suffer greatly, while many of the most heinous (negatively polarized souls) on Earth reap
untold wealth and influence, living in oases of luxury with continual options for further self-
enhancement. This state of affairs simply cannot be understood without deep recognition of timeless
reincarnation plans and the prevailing extra-dimensional laws and pre-incarnative life-design of souls.
