Karma, Reincarnation and Tarot - Part 1

This is going to be a twelve part article examining the connection between karma, reincarnation, and intuitive methods.

We are not human beings having a spiritual experience.

Karma comes from the root kri, "to do". The principal is based on the idea that actions determine your destiny. One becomes good by good action and bad by bad action. Each karma, or action, generates a vibration that continues to vibrate in the mind. These vibrations are subconscious impressions. Like attracts like. Love attracts loving acts, malice attracts malice. The attraction and reaction is non-judgmental, and does not involve the operation of morality or a single divine judgment.

Fate and Karma are very different. Fate means that one's life has been predestined. Karma is exactly the opposite. With Karma, your destiny is completely under your control, be it for good or for bad. The basis by which the two work is something of a paradox, and is suggested as a further area of study.

Karma works hand in hand with reincarnation. Reincarnation means rebirth of the soul into a new body based on the soul's spiritual level, for the purpose of learning certain life lessons. It is a journey of the soul, simply put. The soul makes a choice about the lesson it will learn during a physical incarnation, and the lesson(s) are largely based on the karma built up during past incarnations.

I'm interested. Do you have online, or will you have to e-mail it to me?

I, too, am looking forward to reading more of these. Much will sound familiar to me because I think we are both at similar places on our road.

Cool... I wrote that article several years ago when I was facilitating a monthly tarot discussion group at one of our local Barnes and Noble.
