Why do bad things happen to good people? Is there really any justice in the world? The Secret Doctrine has much to say about the law of karma and its twin doctrine, reincarnation, as an explanation to these subjects and many other mysteries of human life. Ceaseless in its operation, the cycles of cause and effect bear alike upon solar systems, planets, nations, families, and individuals. Karma means action, and our minds are the real planes of action. William Q. Judge gives a comprehensive explanation of the three classes of karma and its three fields of operation that leaves no room for coincidence. He points to human beings as responsible coworkers in a living universe.

Part 2 of the Sevenfold Constitution of Man, delves further into each plane of our human nature. Understanding the physical brain's limited role opens insights into our existence, which lies far beyond the tangible substance that science claims as the sole reality. Here we become acquainted with the upper and lower forms of Manas, our mind's earthly wants and desires versus our intuition, as the better informer. With Manas and Buddhi clarified, the difference between knowledge and wisdom becomes apparent, as does its source, Atman. Without the lens of dogmatic religion, how the individual man is identical to the entire cosmology, is brilliantly clarified.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/musingsontheosophy/donations
Though we commonly perceive ourselves as having a body, mind and spirit, we're rarely offered an explanation of the latter two or the subdivisions of them, which actually represent seven aspects of ourselves. Here in our third episode of the Musings on Theosophy podcast, we come to have an intimate understanding of each of these levels of existence and how they work in tandem to support the whole being. Just as the human body has infinitesimal systems that work simultaneously with each other, whether we are aware of them or not, the more subtle parts of the human being have equal complexity and brilliance. The continuing existence of aspects of ourselves after the body is shed, clarifies misconceptions commonly held, broadening our understanding of the journey of the human race.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/musingsontheosophy/donations
The legacy of reincarnation, comparatively taught by major religions, can both bring clarity to our own development and understanding of the path of the whole human species. Through knowledge of cause and effect, we can assist our individual karma and find ways to support the soulful trajectory of others.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/musingsontheosophy/donations
Several short articles written by William Q. Judge for Path magazine in the late 1800s, on the topic of karma are narrated. How is karma defined? What are its Eastern historical roots? Why and when was it omitted from Christian teachings? Most importantly, how does understanding karma inform us about ourselves and the evolution of our surroundings?Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/musingsontheosophy/donations
