Book Title: Power of Karma Author(s): Alexander Cannon Publisher: Rider and CoPage 76
________________ 76 THE POWER OF KARMA like seeks like. Those recalcitrant and undeveloped souls, refusing the light of higher mentorship gradually drew together in what might be called Schools of Transgression. They gathered together time after time, incarnating and reincarnating in certain Eastern races where they found earthly existence better to their liking because of the customs, habits, manners, and worldly viewpoints of those whom they visited cycle after cycle. They had no special fellowship with the rest of the race. They were in a manner of speaking, unsocial. They did not perceive that the greatest spiritual development came from thinking of others instead of oneself. The orders of the earth-world that gave them maximum advantage for thinking of themselves, therefore, attracted them with greatest force and power. After countless cycles they took perverted joy in being classed outside the pale of that portion of the race that was making steady progress in spiritual growth. They gloried in their lack of earthly sociability. They said to one another : We will make a contest of this : We will do as we please, and if those about us do not like it, let them betake themselves off; we are perfectly content with the earth-world as we find it, and mean to stay upon it and be known as its masters.Page Navigation
