This world is governed by the inexorable law of karma, the law of cause and effect. Each action - whether good or bad - has a reaction. According to our own state of consciousness we thus create "heaven" and "hell" for us - not only here, but also in the beyond - binding ourselves with our own actions we are caught in the circle of give and take.
The karmic law ceases to function only when we become one with the Godpower. Then the law of grace works. To act according to the divine will is the only way of becoming "ne-karma", acting without being the doer. This is also the highest aim in man's life.
How can we reach this aim?
Here man is subject to many errors. Different practices and meditations on the level of body and mind lead us into the astral world where lots of pitfalls and dangers await us.Our real aim, "the home of our Father", is far above this plane. To reach it we have to rise above the body-consciousness.
