June 24th

"Original Sin" as I understand it was not due nor just.  Our
Karma, good or bad, is what we set up through our choosing.

Now, if you do not think we reincarnate, then indeed we live in a
very unjust universe.

But if you do think that we reincarnate then the "Thread-soul"
which strings personality after personality on its eternal thread
as we string days on our passing experience of this life, and
call the memories of them "how we were when we did  -- this or
that -- becomes the "carrier" of our past good or ill thoughts
and deeds.

Personally I prefer to live in a just Universe where I am sure of
my own fate as I am sure that water will wet me tomorrow when I
shower.

I'd like to think that my future is being constructed by me here
and now, and that in the meantime I have to handle the good or
ill that I may have done in the past.

Best as always,        Dal
