Theos-Talk Archives (April 1999 Message tt00191)

Dear Dallas:
You have raised to many issues and it is mind boggling to me!!!

However I think the issues are very important that we should consider what
light has been thrown on them by the writings of HPB and what the Adepts
have stated in the correspondence they had with APS.

To start with, without being able to quote verbatim, it is my understanding
that Karma operates at all levels and all we can possibly understand with
our intellects is partial picture based on some facts we may be familiar
with either personally or from what has been reported.

A question I recently posted in another maillist regarding the speeding up
of the Karma and one subscriber pointed out that in ML to APS, the Adept
did clearly state that during the probationary period the all the person's
strengths and weaknesses are brought to the forefront. Just one aspect of
the Karma.

You asked and you are receiving my response.
