KARMA CORDS of an Anglo American millionair and his wife. Using the gold of mammon to heal each other and the planet.
Self-conquest is the greatest of victories. -Plato.
Karma is defined as the moral law of cause and effect and in the West we use words like "As a man/woman sows, so shall they reap." Fear tends to grip the Western follower who sees karma as a harsh punitive and retributive law. Buddha, however said The heart of it is love, the end of it is peace and consummation sweet." Power and fear have been bedfellows since the few became confused between gold of the soul and the gold of mammon.
Reincarnation was a philosophy taught by Plato, Pythagoras, Aristotle and Diogenes. Given a body blow by Constantine about 300 AD, then stamped upon by Emperor Justinian 1 in 553, given some credence in The Catholic Encyclopedia concerning the Fifth Ecumenical Council. Condemned by the Council of Lyons (1274) and Florence (1439) and finally expurgated by the Holy Inquisition. That is they thought they had washed it down the drain with the blood of the free thinkers, that is the 'heretics' which means - one that is "able to choose.
This opportunity to choose however can soon become eroded if love is replaced with hate. Without the cosmic law of reincarnation being taught in schools, are we depriving our children of seeing a vision of wholeness?
