Karma, the law of cause and effect, shows that we make our own
life situations through our past actions. An ancient doctrine
from the East, karma can also be found in Christianity and Judaism.
Among the questions explored in this anthology are: Does our culture
and ethnic group affect our karma? How does karma enter into
moral dilemmas such as reproductive choice? Does our
astrological chart revel karmic patterns? Can we soften or
overcome our karma? Is karma related to Jungian archetypes?
Psychologists, scientists, students of society, astrologers, a
Christian, a Jewish scholar, Buddhist, Hindus, students of Theosophy
and esoteric philosophy - all these address aspects of the law of
karma. Shown in its traditional context of Eastern thought, we
see how karma also relates to problems in our lives and of our
times. This results in creative contact between an ancient
doctrine and modern life.
