KARMA AND ILLNESS

  The astral body is created, as you know, from the actions of the past.

This is the body that holds all the records of our actions in all our lives, our character that we arrive with and take back to the spirit world, and hope to improve here on the material plain, which is what Karma is all about.

Every little cold we catch is a lesson to be more careful, but not always our past 'doings' catching up with us either!

In one book on spiritual matters it says we must remember that there is in the soul an accumulation of karma.

 
Past karma, which is built into the astral body, manifests sometimes in the circumstances of a life or it may come out in the form of physical ill, depending on the life lessons we have agreed to before we come to this plane of existance. Remember there are no conscripts here, only volunteers! 

Happenings that we so often say to ourselves “Why me?"

 
“Why not?" The Law of Karma says!

 
This is the ‘wake up call’ that is the best method we can possible have to guide/nudge us all into change of either our actions directly or our way of life. 

 
The law of karma is exact; it is just, perfect, and true. You cannot interfere with karma, but you can assist yourself and your patient to transmute it.  If you or your patients are helped to receive the full inflow of the Christ-Light, he will then help himself; and in that way he will learn by transmutation of his karma instead of by means of the particular disease.

 
In so many instances the cause of illness lies deep within the soul, and it has been built into the astral body from a past life.

 
The purpose of karma is to teach. It is to give the individual soul the opportunity to learn lessons, to gain wisdom, to grow in spiritual stature. If the soul is arrogant (which is so often the trouble), if it will not believe, is quite sure that it knows, then there is nothing else for it but to walk the allotted path and endure the physical ill. Yet there are some souls who deliberately choose the way of suffering, but also the choice might be subconscious.
