Q.- Vishnu, the questions I havc this morning deal with some of the terms you used in our earlier communications. One has to do with karma. Does it apply in other dimensions beyond the earth life?

A.- Karma is expressed as cause and effect. And there is a true karma for all spiritual vibration. Now encased within the flesh is the spirit, or breath. And unless that breath be pure in its energy, in its striving to help mankind, there lies only defeat. There is defeat when one expresses that breath in the negative way of living. Karma is mainly an expression of the spirit. And it is found that there is karma for everything that is seen or unseen. For it is the purpose of living to acquire spiritual growth, whether that karma be positive or negative.

Q.- Vishnu, to discharge a karmic debt must a person make reparation to all those he has injured?

A.- Not to those he has injured, but to the vibration that he has thrown off balance in his growth.

Q.- Is it true that a person committing suicide is prevented from further development until the expiration of the term of his natural life?

A.-Each has a moment on the Clock of Time when the transition should be made to that higher pro gression, when the Law of Karma has been fulfilled. If life is taken before that moment, then that spirit must stay in suspended animation until the fullness of the moment is realized and understood.

Q.- Some believe that a course in Yoga may eliminate karmic indebtedness. Is this true?

A.- Not in the yoga, for again there are limitations placed within that certain procedure. Karmas can be ended by the individual as he becomes more aware of his growth and becomes more understanding of his past lives, not to relive them in guilt but to see that each life brings him a truer understanding of why he is now within this life paying a karmic debt, which is being paid for other lifetimes so that in this moment of his life, he can achieve a complete liberation from the karmic pattern and not have to return in a physical body unless he is willing to do so.

Q.- Vishnu, can you say something about the karmic pattern and conditioning?

A.- The (purpose of the) karmic pattern and conditioning of life is to give fuller expression to this life, for the only debt that must be paid is the one that you have made yourself through the past lifetimes. It is only a law of cause and effect, for you must reach a true perfection of balance of thought before you can live the full meaning of life. This is the defeat of all the children of earth, for they do not, cannot and will not come to an understanding where they know no fear, and thus the y cannot gauge or come into the full comprehension of their debt.

Q.- Vishnu, when a master reincarnates does he have to win back his powers by a gradual development?

A.- It must be so if there has not been a completion of the past karmas or the debts that must be paid. For no karma is fixed from one life to the next, but can be paid in any lifetime that suits that person who is seeking the law of perfection.

KARMA, as it relates to death.

Q.- Should a doctor make every effort to prolong the life of a hopelessly sick suffering patient who wants to die?

A.- Life is a precious experience and each that is encased in flesh dreads the hand of death. But there is no death, only a good transition into another progression where there is freedom of movement, a lightness of spirit, and a sailing forth into that ocean of love and understanding. A fuller expression of all life is there for those who seek it in a very true and noble way. Life when it is hopeless can be severed by the person who is in a state of coma. It is not right to use the chemical drugs of your present day to prolong a life that knows it wants to leave. And yet it is by the power of chemistry that man defeats the death pain, but they are wrong in so doing, for they are not only adding a karmic condition to their own lives, but they are trying to force the law of nature, to refute her statement that each has a moment when he should slip into that realm of beauty called death.

KARMA, among animals,

Vishnu, I notice that dogs and cats and horses suffer greatly from the cruelty of man. Yel I think you have said that they are not in the law of karma. Is this correct? VISHNU: They are in a law of their own karma, in growing from a primitive thought to one that is more matured on the plane of their kingdom. They have a karmic expression, for gradually, as intelligence is acquired by these animals, you see that they are more intelligent in spirit than those that first come unto the same kingdom. However, you will find that those that hurt or are hateful toward animals are only defeating their purpose of full spiritual growth. For it is through learning the nature kingdom that man enlightens himself, and comes into that balance that he is striving for. He comes into an understanding that the purpose of life in animal or plant, and of all the beauty of the world, is to teach him and give him the expression that he seeks. KARMA, two kinds,

Q.- You have spoken of two types of karma, the earthly karma and the spiritual karma. What is the difference between them?

A.- The spiritual karma is that of the continuation of lifetimes from the very beginning of that individual up to and including the present time. Earth karma is involved when that individual assumes a growth pattern of his own choosing upon earth, and yet in his way he can bring about a full karmic payment in that he is exemplifying within his earth structure a fullness of his intent toward that growth that he is trying to attain.

KRISHNA,

Q.- What is the Krishna Force?

A.- The Krishna Force is the seventh progression or ring, that is a bright etheric light, brighter than the atomic explosion as you have understood it. And yet around that circle vibrate the tremendous sparks of blue light that look like saw-teeth edges, yet each tip extends into the millions and millions of miles of space. For space has no beginning and no end; it is limitless as eternity.

Q.- Vishnu, what is meant by the term "segment of the Krishna Force"?

A.- The segments of the Krishn Force, the Seventh Ring (for all life exists within the number seven) -here is where you find all the masters that have reached a state of true perfection. Yet I am neither above nor below them. I only float upon the blue sparks of the Ring and reach my hand from endless Eternity to the ground of the planets, into the cosmic patterns, into the very Nucleus of all Existence. And it is not my judgment or my will. It is only the will of man that can destroy or rebuild itself to where it too can come under the law of Perfection, and release itself from the bondage of a negative vibration.

Q.- Vishnu, when Martin Luther King said that he had been to the Mountain, what did he mean?

A.- He had travelled through that Gateway of Eternity. He had stood on the full expansion of all Krishna Force, and there saw the majestic picture of all life. And yet, in his defeat, he could not paint it, but could only give a full expression to his own life.
