Drawing from Rosalis Von Sass’s original text on Karma in “Threads of Fate Determine Human Life”, here’s a profound exploration of how karma shapes our earthly journey:
Every soul arrives on Earth carrying the invisible threads of their past choices. What many perceive as random circumstances or cruel fate is actually the manifestation of perfect Divine Justice working through the Law of Reciprocity – perhaps a more precise term than ”karma,” as it emphasizes the direct relationship between cause and effect that governs all existence.
Von Sass reveals that nearly all suffering and disease originates from karma – the accumulated effects of our own past choices and actions from previous lives. This explains what appears to be “injustice” in cases where children are born with disabilities or into challenging circumstances.
These situations, far from being random punishments, reflect precise spiritual accounting from previous lives. As Von Sass explains, not even a single hair of a person will fall if he himself did not create the cause for it – a powerful illustration of how perfectly and precisely Divine Justice works.
The connection between parents and children is particularly significant. When a child is born with challenges, both the child and parents are often working through shared karma from previous lives. Their suffering offers an opportunity for redemption and spiritual growth, transforming past mistakes into blessings through understanding and conscious choice.
This Divine system operates with perfect precision on both individual and collective levels. Just as individuals reap what they sow, entire nations and humanity as a whole experience the consequences of their collective choices. What appears as natural disasters or national calamities often represents the return of negative actions and attitudes from the past.
When a person’s earthly journey ends, their physical body may decompose, but their soul continues its journey, carrying clear markers of all actions and choices. Upon reincarnation, the new physical body forms exactly according to the soul’s condition, and the person is born into precisely the environment needed to address their karmic burden.
This system reveals the perfect interweaving of Divine Justice and Grace. While we must face the consequences of our past choices, we are simultaneously given the exact circumstances needed for our liberation and growth. Each reincarnation offers a fresh opportunity to develop our spiritual abilities and eventually return to Paradise, pure and unburdened.
In fact, developing spiritual consciousness is more crucial now than ever before, as it allows us to understand these deeper workings of Creation and make choices that lead to genuine freedom and joy, rather than further karmic burden.
