Translations:Animal/25/en
This sacrifice the elementals will continue to make, lovingly, even as in their bodies they bear world karma,[1] until man, who cannot live by bread alone, may also find the living Word a compensation for centuries-old human habits that one by one he will set aside by resurrection’s flame on the mount of spiritual attainment.
- ↑ Elementals bear world karma. The quantity of energy that mankind have misqualified down through the centuries in their lack of reverence for life is so great that if they were required to bear the full weight of their karma, they themselves would be bowed to the ground, walking on all fours as animals. Rather than consign the souls of men to animal forms to expiate their karma, the mercy of the Mother has allowed the elementals to balance a great portion of mankind’s karma by working out the cycles of their misqualified energy in the physical bodies of the animals which they ensouled. By this dispensation man is not required to reincarnate in an animal body, even though his karma might indeed dictate such a fate; for the Lords of Karma, who interceded on mankind’s behalf, knew that should this come to pass, mankind’s evolution, insofar as the expansion of the Christ consciousness is concerned, would effectively be brought to a halt.
