Theos-Talk Archives (June 1996 Message tl00763)

First off I'd like to say thank you to Mr. Schueler.  I've read Enochian Physics and enjoyed the book greatly
(though I must say I don't completely understand it- yet).  I haven't really delved into the study of Karma
yet.  I've just been casually curious about certain aspects of it.

How does this work in the concept of the All?  Meaning, how does this law affect the All in it's first action?
 I would assume that it was the I, and the nothingness the Not-I.  The I created the wave upon the Not-I.
Couldn't everything be taken back to this first wave?  And if so, how does that effect free will?

Your over my head on this one.  I haven't put much thought into Karma because I haven't purchased a large
enough bottle of aspirin.  I'm not sure, but somehow I feel I'm going to get a big headache when I start to
think about it.
