within our inner selves in our best moments. The light of the Spirit (Love) is

Our relationship to others in past lives has its effect upon the working
of the Law of Karma. If in the past we have formed attachments for other
individuals, either through love or hate; either by kindness or cruelty; these
attachments manifest in our present life, for these persons are bound to
us, and we to them, by the bonds of Karma, until the attachment is worn
out. Such people will in the present life have certain relationships to us, the
object of which is the working out of the problems in which we are mutually
concerned, the adjustment of relationship, the “squaring up” of accounts, the
development of both. We are apt to be placed in a position to receive hurts
from those whom we have hurt in past lives, and this not through the idea
of revenge, but by the inexorable working out of the Law of Compensation
in Karmic adjustments. And when we are helped, comforted and receive
favors from those who we helped in past lives, it is not merely a reward, but
the operation of the same law of Justice. The person who hurts us in this way
may have no desire to do so, and may even be distressed because he is used
as an instrument in this way, but the Karmic Law places him in a position
where he unwittingly and without desire acts so that you receive pain
through him. Have you not felt yourselves hurting another, although you
had no desire and intention of so doing, and, in fact, were sorely distressed
because you could not prevent the pain? This Is the operation of Karma.
Have you not found yourself placed where you unexpectedly were made
the bestower of favors upon some almost unknown persons? This is Karma.
The Wheel turns slowly, but it makes the complete circle.
Karma is the companion law to Metempsychosis. The two are inextricably
connected, and their operations are closely interwoven. Constant and
unvarying in operation, Karma manifests upon and in worlds, planets,
races, nations, families and persons Everywhere in space is the great law
in operation in some form. The so-called mechanical operations called
