THE LORDS OF KARMA

(Concluded from October and November 1953)

The Master Kuthumi, if not present himself, always has a pupil present, and he claims almost all those who pass from the body in youth. The Master Morya asks for those who have been active in governmental affairs even if they have seemingly failed in their tasks. The Master Paul, the Venetian, asks for those who have worked on his Ray in endeavoring to bring or sustain Peace and Brotherhood - Serapis Bey speaks for the artists, the musicians, the architects, engineers, and builders of beautiful temples, cathedrals, cities, etc. Hilarion speaks for the doctors, the scientists, the nurses; Jesus for those who have served him well in the orthodox channels and Saint Germain for the particular lifestreams who consciously or unconsciously have forwarded the cause of freedom, either from political, religious or mental and physical bondage. Thus, it is well to have at least a passing acquaintance with these Beloved Brothers, so that when you stand before the Board, they may say "this child has served me well." 

Oft times, the lifestreams of those who have been benefited by the soul in life are called in to speak for them, in witness, and even members of the four-footed kingdom and all of this is taken into account. Seldom does a soul arrive before the Judgment Board who does not have at least one lifestream that has benefited in some way by reason of its embodiment. 

After the soul is judged, and his light measured, he is taken to Some one of the Seven Spheres and here, under the direction of Beings particularly prepared to teach him, he unfolds in understanding, until his guardian signifies to the Karmic Board that such a one is again ready for an opportunity to reincarnate. 

As there are about ten billion souls belonging to the evolution, and the accumulation of each is such that only one-third are allowed on the planet at a time, lest the axis of the earth would not be able to hold the weight of such a human accumulation, it takes some time to secure the right to reembody, and the potential worth of the soul is taken into consideration by the Lords of Karma in deciding which one out of each three shall be afforded the privilege. The guardians of the race and the highly evolved, usually forego their sojourn in the higher realms in order to "hurry back" to help the race and they are always passed first by the Karmic Board. This sometimes accounts for the lack of physical energy in this embodiment because they have foregone the period of rest in the Higher Spheres which replenishes the inner bodies and refreshes the spirit, in the same manner that a good night's sleep rests the individual while in incarnation. 

After the Karmic Board has agreed to provide an opportunity for reincarnation, there comes the period in which the karma of the individual to incarnate must be examined, and a suitable incarnation prepared wherein a certain proportion of that karma may be worked out and certain opportunities given to right wrongs of past lives and gain merit and momentum of good for the causal body. How very carefully is the amount of karmic energy meted out, so that there is not more for the individual to meet in the forthcoming life than his light and strength can master! The saying, "The Lord prepares the back for the burden" is fundamentally true, except it was that the "back" and not the Lord earned the burden, but the Lord, in his Mercy, "lightened the pack." 

When the karma has been allotted, the environment and race chosen, the parents decided upon, then the soul is notified, and the body elemental called from the rest it has secured in its own realms. The soul and elemental are told of the forthcoming embodiment, the body elemental shown the etheric pattern of the body the soul has earned (which it often dislikes tremendously) and then the builders of form, the Christ Self and the elemental begin to prepare for the incarnation, and through the same Halls of Karma passes the incarnating soul into embodiment again. 

It is hoped that with the dispensations being granted from the Central Sun and with the tremendous contribution of voluntary energies from members of the human race, that the Halls of Karma will soon be the Portals for Freedom for every member of our race, and that as the very last lifestream passes through "to return no more" the doors of the Judgment Hall may be closed for eternity, and the Great Recording Angels, sealing the door, say, with Jesus "It is finished... Father, into thy hands we commit our evolution, and not one but has been saved."

THE WILL OF GOD  

The Will of God is GOOD!

To Heaven it opens the door

It satisfies all the soul's longing for comfort

Makes ALL their God Presence adore! 

The Will of God is plain!

It's easy God's Plan to fulfill;

Whatever is lovely, sincere, pure and joyous

These ALWAYS bring Heaven's good will! 

The Will of God is POWER!

Blest Morya embodies it all;

Stands ready and willing GOD'S WILL to reveal

To any and all who will call. 

(Reverently)

Oh, Morya, dear Morya, we bow

Before God's own Will which thou art;

Oh, love us and teach us and raise us until

Ascended! We're free in God's Heart!

(Hymn Tune: "'Blest Be the Tie That Binds.")
