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.
