THE LORDS OF KARMA AND THE KARMIC BOARD

Situated in the Lower Etheric Realms is the Great, White Square Building which has been referred to by many as the "Judgment Hall," but which in reality is a Temple of Great Mercy and Love, known as the Halls of Karma. 

Through this building passes every lifestream after its release from physical embodiment, and through the same building must every re-incarnating soul pass before it is given its assignment into a new earth body. 

There is no lifestream that is not acquainted with the Halls of Karma, and it is often because the sphere to which the soul is delegated because of its questionable activities in life that the individual has brought back a dread of "judgment," and has incorporated into the theology of the various creeds the doctrine of the Wrath and Punishments of Jehovah. 

A thorough understanding of the great service rendered the evolving souls upon the planet by those mighty Beings known as the Lords of Karma will take this fear of death and judgment from the consciousness and feeling world of the aspirant and help the individual passing through the change called "death" as well as his loved ones remaining yet in the earth sphere, to anticipate the experience and to assist himself in receiving the greatest possible benefit from such experience. 

The great process of evolution requires that the soul of man must incarnate in a physical body and learn to master the control and qualification of energies (Life) in order to qualify for certain spiritual offices in the scheme of universal evolution. Many beings, of course, never chose to incarnate, but for the sake of brevity and clarity, we will consider only those who voluntarily chose to assume physical incarnation, either as Guardians of the human race, or in order to gain experience and mastery of energy as a member of this evolution. 

In order to regulate the entrance of these souls into physical bodies, give them an opportunity to develop and mature on the earth, and then release them at the close of a certain cycle to make room for other lifestreams awaiting an opportunity to enter the school room of earth, a Board of Celestial Beings was created, whose many, diversified, and complex responsibilities are concerned with the provision of the greatest possible opportunity of each one of the ten billion souls belonging to this evolution. This Body is known as the Karmic Board, and its decisions are final in connection with the disposition of the affairs of mankind, except in the rare instances where petitions are placed before the Suns of the System, and "dispensations" are granted to accelerate the progress of the race. The present members of the Karmic Board are: Pallas Athena, Goddess of Truth, Kwan Yin, Goddess of Mercy, Vista, the All Seeing Eye of God, Portia, Goddess of Justice, The Goddess of Liberty, The Divine Director and Nada, The Goddess of Love. 

If the soul has come to the end of its cycle of incarnations, and there is a possibility that the Ascension may be attained, the Messengers of the Karmic Board oft-times come for the individual before he has finally passed through the change called death. Such a one is examined and if his energies qualify him to attain his Victory, he is given the choice of accepting the Ascension or waiting until a later date, in order to re-embody and better serve mankind. If he chooses to accept the Ascension, sometimes a few days or weeks pass before the silver cord is finally severed, and the lifestream, under the direction of its own great God Presence, then completes its circle of manifestation in the Ascension in the light. If this occurs, before so called death there is usually a great lightness and happiness about the individual which signifies the anticipation of release to come. The far greater percentage of mankind, however, are not yet ready for this tremendous accomplishment, and it is particularly to these lesser sons of men that the Karmic Board are so exceedingly kind. 

At the moment when the soul is about to leave the body, the Personage of the Maha Chohan, who was present at the birth of the individual, and breathed the first breath into the body, prepares to accept the final breath of the departing spirit. As the Maha Chohan accepts the breath, the silver cord is severed, and an Angel or Master awaits the soul, and conveys such an one, usually, to the gentle and comfortable "Rest" that is the orthodox heaven of mankind's general belief. Here, after a shorter or longer rest, during which time the blessed soul is allowed to meet certain friends and loved ones who are available, if they have not reincarnated or been assigned to inaccessible heights, again appears a Messenger of the Karmic Counsel and such an one is summoned to appear before them, and be assigned to such a Sphere or Schoolroom as they, in their great Wisdom, feel will best hasten the development of the God Nature within the individual lifestream.

Daily Prayer for Mankind Who Are Leaving the Earth Today 

Beloved Presence of God, "I Am" in the Hearts of all mankind! Beloved Lord Michael, the Archangel of Deliverance, and your Angelic Host! 

In the name of the mankind of earth, particularly those who shall be called forth from their mortal forms this day, I make this call! Let the Angels of Peace stand by the physical body of each soul and hold the atmosphere and feelings where such release is taking place at perfect peace! Let the aura of Sanctity abide at the solemn hour of transition, that the soul may be easily cut free from its earthly tabernacle, and no grief nor fear nor sorrow distress it at the thresh-hold of New Freedom! 

Let the Angels of Deliverance meet each soul! Let not a life-stream belonging to our evolution pass through the veil of so called death "unattended!" Let each one be taken quickly to the Temples of Mercy and Forgiveness and be bathed in the purifying fires of Saint Germain's Violet Flame! Let them be prepared to enter the Halls of the Lords of Karma in dignity, and in conscious awareness, and let each one be assigned to a School Room of the Masters and joyously and happily enter into the study of the Law of their own life! 

I call to the Lords of Mercy and Love to enfold all those whose loved ones are about to leave this earth, and all those whose loved ones have just left the earth, to melt away all selfish grief and sorrow, and to fill each heart and home with happiness and gratitude for the opportunity afforded the loved one to know freedom and progress upon Life's Path! So be it!
