KARMA

A Study in Karma

Collective
Karma
Before completing this imperfect study we must
consider what is termed Collective Karma, the complex into which are woven the
results of the collective thoughts, desires and activities of groups, whether
large or small. 
The principles at work are the same, but the factors
are far more numerous, and this multiplicity immensely increases the difficulty
of understanding the effects. 
The idea of considering a group as a larger individual
is not alien from modern science, and such larger individuals generate karma
along lines similar to those which we have been studying. A family, a nation, a
sub-race, a race, are all but larger individuals, each having a past behind it,
the creator of its present, each with a future ahead of it, now in course of
creation. 
An ego coming into such a larger individual must share
in its general karma; his own special karma has brought him into it, and must
be worked out within it, the larger karma often offering conditions which
enable the smaller to act.
