  I'm glad Sufilight posted the quote on the "Law of Distributive Karma." It startled me the first time I read it, when one is raised in a world in which he thinks he can make advantage solely for oneself.
  In this whole realm of occult psychology, one clear advantage the Theosophist has, once he has been convinced, is that we live in a sea of invisible creatures that have an effect on us, as well as dealing with the more conventional pyschology and self-analysis the traditional Psychologist deals with.

  Since I have not posted here for several years - I'm a student of Blavatsky for about 30 years, I put out a newsletter "Protogonos" for about 12 years '87 or so 'till 2000, and my major personal Theosophical activity for a number of years is archiving Theosophical magazines, books, and related material onto computer.

  > THEOSOPHIST. That is just what I mean. It is impossible that Karma could readjust the balance of power in the world's life and progress, unless it had a broad and general line of action. It is held as a truth among Theosophists that the interdependence of Humanity is the cause of what is called Distributive Karma, and it is this law which affords the solution to the great question of collective suffering and its relief. It is an occult law, moreover, that no man can rise superior to his individual failings, without lifting, be it ever so little, the whole body of which he is an integral part. In the same way, no one can sin, nor suffer the effects of sin, alone. In reality, there is no such thing as "Separateness"; and the nearest approach to that selfish state, which the laws of life permit, is in the intent or motive.

Happily, because the Law of Karma is in fact the law of Compassion and spiritual progress.

And the same with Princes - and the same with latest New Age Medium - who for instance call herself --- a Walk-In from the Andromeda Galaxy and bring messages from a Inter-Galactical Star Command. Such mediums seem to blossom these days all over the planet like buckets of flowers in a botanical garden. and most of them very self-contraditing in their message and quite different from each other when compared. - And their messages are most often not very intelligent and helpful at all - except to their own pockets. - There is the differece as I see it. If your message is helpful and wise, then it is another kind of business we are deling with.
