The Law of Cause & Effect
The topic of today’s programme is the Law of Cause and Effect (or Karma) and man’s understanding of it. We’ll read an extract of a keynote talk on the subject by Benjamin Creme. It begins:

The popular literature in the West about reincarnation is almost exclusively about previous existences. There are now many techniques – authentic or otherwise – advertised and used to take people back into an experience of their past lives: hypnosis, rebirthing, and so on.

Of course, there is much serious research on the subject going on in several countries. The work of Professor Ian Stevenson and others is adding much evidence pointing to the likelihood of the fact of reincarnation. But is it so desirable to know our past lives? I think if most of us really knew our past lives there are one or two things we might be a bit ashamed of, and maybe would prefer not to know.

There is a little-known law that when we become truly aware of our past life we enter into the karma of that time. Most of us have a heavy enough load of karma to deal with in this life without an unnecessary load from some previous one, which happily we are not yet called upon to resolve.

Needless to say, you will always find clairvoyants. The channel, the sensitive, is only too happy – for a price – to look into your past and to tell you your previous lives, but how do you know if they are right or wrong? In what possible way can you verify what any so-called clairvoyant tells you? It is better for you to keep your money.

If you are told that in a previous life you were important and powerful (it is usually some king, queen, priestess), a priestess in Egypt, say, how can you prove this? And are you, today, at least the equivalent in importance, influence and power in the world, contributing something original and creative to life?
