The Law of Karma (The Principles of Spiritualism, cont’d)
The Law of Karma
Love/Spirit/Energy governs all things, inorganic and organic.
5. Personal Responsibility.
We learn through the Golden Rule: What we do to another, we do to ourselves.
In His wisdom, God has given us enormous potential; we can use that potential to improve our own lives and the lives of others. We have the ability to make decisions throughout our lives as we see fit. What each of us makes of our life is our Personal Responsibility no one can replace or override that right. No other person or influence can put right our wrong doings.
6. Compensation and Retribution Hereafter for all the Good and Evil Deeds done on Earth.
Our experience on the Other Side is dictated by our adherence to or ignorance of the Golden Rule on this Side and in the Afterlife.
This Principle expresses the natural law of ‘cause and effect’. This law operates now, on earth, as well as in the spirit world. As we move through life making choices, the outcome of those choices affects our soul growth. When we leave this earthly life there will be no divine judgment. We will have the opportunity to reassess, take stock and decide what might have been done differently.
What determines which Afterlife realm we reside in is how we have demonstrated the Golden Rule, both in this physical life and in the Afterlife. Our experience, in every dimension, is a projection of our own mind.
