Re: Transcendence and Intuition.

Dear Friends and M:


I am not sure what is being asked.


KARMA is simply the LAW OF EXISTENCE, of BEING. All is included
in it. It is an aspect of the ABSOLUTE.

So internal or external, esoteric or exoteric all is included in
its operations. It (Karma) is totally inescapable, just as
"SPACE" is inescapable. Or, LIFE, or "SPIRIT" and "MATTER" are
inescapable. No "Being" can be erased.

It (Karma) cannot be "transcended." Where is the place of NO
KARMA ?

Since we cannot speculate about the ABSOLUTENESS, a "Causeless
Cause" is posited as a tentative "beginning" -- since it is
difficult for us to visualize an eternity without beginning or
end. (see SECRET DOCTRINE I pp. 15-19).

Let me quote from the BHAGAVAD GITA which ought not to be taken
as a theological treatise full of dogmas and paradoxes. It
invites examination and close questioning and we have to look on
Krishna as the ABSOLUTE (if it were able to speak).

[In The SECRET DOCTRINE II 167, one finds the doctrine advanced
of TWO EGOS in Man. I think this is worth considering because it
gives a basis (The HIGHER SELF) for the innate sense of justice
and law we all have. It also explains how Krishna the ONE SPIRIT
can be also seated in our "hearts" as a kind of "Divine Tutor."
And as an advisor he serves us as the "voice of Conscience" and
also as the "intuition," -- and not an enforcer. By providing
information about the TRUE, he leads the embodied mind (Arjuna,
and we are all "Arjunas") to make better decisions if it decides
to take advantage of a knowledge of universal law.]

In the BHAGAVAD GITA (Chapter X) Krishna says, speaking as the
SUPREME BEING (of which the Krishna form was an "avatar"), so as
provide Arjuna with some understanding:

"I established this whole Universe with a single portion of
Myself, and remain separate."

"I am the Ego which is seated in the heart of all beings; I am
the beginning, the middle and the end of all existing things."

"All this universe is pervaded by me in my invisible form; all
things exist in me, but I do not exist in them...behold this my
divine mystery: myself causing things to exist and supporting
them all n]but dwelling not in them....Taking control of my own
nature, I emanate again and again this whole assemblage of
beings, without their will, by the power of the material
essence." (Ch. 9)

Best wishes,

Dallas

I don't see how anybody can transcend karma by
exoterizing that "what," since that kind of "what" isn't
a product of karma.

Speculatively,
