The Karmic Board is a body of eight [[ascended master]]s who are assigned the responsibility to dispense justice to this system of worlds, adjudicating [[karma]], mercy and judgment on behalf of every lifestream. The Lords of Karma are divine intercessors who serve under the [[twenty-four elders]] as mediators between a people and their karma. 

All souls must pass before the Karmic Board before and after each incarnation on earth, receiving their assignment and karmic allotment for each lifetime beforehand and the review of their performance at its conclusion. Through the [[Keeper of the Scrolls]] and the recording angels, the Lords of Karma have access to the complete records of every lifestream’s incarnations on earth. They determine who shall embody, as well as when and where. They assign souls to families and communities, measuring out the weights of karma that must be balanced as the “jot and tittle” of the Law. The Karmic Board, acting in consonance with the individual [[I AM Presence]] and [[Christ Self]], determines when the soul has earned the right to be free from the wheel of karma and the round of rebirth. 

== Members ==

The Karmic Board consists of the [[Great Divine Director]] (representing the first ray), the [[Goddess of Liberty]] (second ray), Ascended Lady Master [[Nada]] (third ray), Elohim [[Cyclopea]] (fourth ray), [[Pallas Athena]], the Goddess of Truth (fifth ray), [[Portia]], Goddess of Justice (sixth ray) and [[Kuan Yin]], the Goddess of Mercy (seventh ray). Recently [[Vairochana]], one of the [[five Dhyani Buddhas]], became the eighth member of the Karmic Board.

Out of his great mercy, God has anointed these beings to act as mediators between the perfection of the Law and the imperfection of those who have departed from the state of grace. The Karmic Board serves, then, at the level of the Christ Self of mankind, daily weighing the balance of mankind’s use of energy Above and below. 

== Functions ==

The Lords of Karma adjudicate the cycles of individual karma, group karma, national karma and world karma, always seeking to apply the Law in the way that will give people the best opportunity to make spiritual progress. When the Karmic Lords release a spiral of karma for the planet, the entire nature kingdom plays a part in its descent, which is always according to the law of cycles. 

The elementals have been the foremost instruments of the karmic return of mankind’s discord. The earliest memory we have of this phenomenon is the sinking of the continent of [[Lemuria]] beneath the Pacific many thousands of years ago for the karma of the abuse of the sacred fire by priests and priestesses at the altars of God. 

Changes in climatic conditions (as well as storm, flood, fire, tornado and cataclysm) are brought about as the result of man’s misuse of the creative power of the [[Holy Spirit]]. Through these periodic disturbances in nature, when Atlas shrugs off human discord, the balance of the four elements is restored and the four lower bodies of the planet are purified and realigned.

== Petitions from mankind ==

{{Main|Petitions to the Karmic Board}}

Twice a year, at winter and summer solstice, the Lords of Karma meet at the [[Royal Teton Retreat]] to review petitions from unascended mankind. Traditionally, students of the masters write personal petitions to the Karmic Board requesting grants of energy, dispensations and sponsorship for constructive projects and endeavors. The letters are consecrated and burned. The angels then carry the etheric matrix of these letters to the Royal Teton Retreat, where they are read by the Lords of Karma.

Students who are requesting assistance may offer to perform a particular service or work or make a commitment to certain [[prayer]]s and [[decree]]s that the masters can use as “seed money” for something they desire to see accomplished in the world. They may also offer a portion of their [[causal body]] as energy for the masters to use, but such an offer must be approved by the Lords of Karma. The exact percentage will be determined by the I AM Presence and Holy Christ Self.
