What A Course in Miracles Says About Karma

What A Course in Miracles Says About Karma

Author: Circle of Atonement November 13, 2023 Duration: 56:59

Karma is, to put it simply, the connection between actions and their consequences. From a spiritual perspective, karmic actions are associated with our current life, but karma has also been tied to past lives and reincarnation. In other words, things that happen in our current life are influenced by past lives that we're not even aware of. The Complete and Annotated Edition of A Course in Miracles references "karma" or "karmic" six times and has a section of the Text called "The Question of Karma." In this episode, Robert and Emily discuss what, specifically, the Course teaches on this topic and how karma can relate to your journey with the Course.
