making of the universe: the guidance of the lords

2/13/18

“The “Lords of Karma” are the great spiritual Intelligences who keep the karmic Records and adjust the complicated workings of karmic law.

They are described by H.P. Blavatsky in The Secret Doctrine as the Lipika, the Recorders of Karma, and the Maharajas and Their hosts, who are “the agents of Karma upon earth.”

The Lipika are They who know the karmic record of every man, and who with omniscient wisdom select and combine portions of that record to form the plan of a single life;

They give the “idea” of the physical body which is to be the garment of the reincarnating soul, expressing his capacities and his limitations;

this is taken by the Maharajas and worked into a detailed model, which is committed to one of Their inferior agents to be copied;

this copy is the etheric double, the matrix of the dense body, the materials for these being drawn from the mother and subject to physical heredity.

The race, the country, the parents, are chosen for their capacity to provide suitable materials for the physical body of the incoming Ego, and suitable surroundings for his early life.

The physical heredity of the family affords certain types and has evolved certain peculiarities of material combinations; hereditary diseases, hereditary finenesses of nervous organizations, imply definite combinations of physical matter, capable of transmission.”
