Hierophant Knowledge :: Karma. Deepak Chopra and Judy Hall
Karma
One goal of the spiritual journey is to escape the prison of karma, which is our conditioned, automatic reactions to people, circumstances, and events, and bring about the true response of our soul, which is creativity. The more creative and unpredictable our response to the world, the more we are aligned with the creator of the universe - and the more free we will be.
Deepak Chopra
The Karmic Journey
Karma implies a belief in continuous causality, what is experienced now is seen as the result of personal or collective prior action. But what one experiences in the future will be the result of present action. The exercise of choice and free will is possible. Therefore the doctrine of karma adds a dimension of personal responsibility to 'destiny' and anyone aligned to western thought who takes reincarnation seriously, is likely to have an attitude of 'let's get it right this time' rather than 'well, what does it matter, I can always get it right the next time.'
