Dear Friends:

Should we not put it in the same terms that H.P.B. uses in the
KEY TO THEOSOPHY?

In the KEY it is said that the UNIVERSE is pervaded by LAW --
KARMA -- ACTION AND REACTION.

The implication is that when the MONAD reaches the HUMAN
CONDITION and develops SELF-Consciousness and FREE WILL. Its
choices become FREE when they are generated.

Each monad is an eternal being with nether beginning nor ending.
Emerging from the MONADIC ESSENCE (S.D. I 619) it acquires
INDIVIDUALITY, and the POWER to make CHOICES.

Those choices are dual: Support the Universal Law, or 2.
resist it, break it, cause the discord of selfishness to arise
and create harm and pain for all its brother eternal MONADS --
and impede their progress by distorting the environment.

Breaking the Universal and impersonal LAWS implies pain and
suffering for others who are innocents, and calling the pain and
suffering of the effects back to ones' self when the
Monads/Skandhas have returned to the culprit to give him/her the
effect of those choices made.

The LAW OF KARMA is very simple., If we assist Nature we help
and improver Her and ourselves. If in our ignorance and foolish
pride we believe we can break the LAWS OF NATURE by
unfriendliness, by selfishness and isolation, we only impress the
MONADIC constituents of our body and its other principles so that
when they return to us under the Law of Cycles (which is also
KARMA) they bring the distorted attitudes, pride, anger
selfishness which we had imposed on them. In other words we are
compelled to feel the pain, suffering and selfishness which we
had earlier induced. It all comes back to us.

All this will be found stated clearly in H.P.B.'s KEY TO
THEOSOPHY

Best Wishes as always,

Dallas

The 'view' expressed above while 'true' from a certain
standpoint,
it, nonetheless, sadly naive. "Light and Darkenss are the
world's
eternal Ways" ... Krishna. Only from 'above,' ('beyond') are
they
utterly 'transcended.'
