Where there is an effect there is always a cause; there is no such thing as chance.
This question is answered through the law of reincarnation. Man goes through many births and deaths, until he knows the truth which sets him free.
He is drawn back to the earth plane through unsatisfied desire, to pay his Karmic debts, or to “fulfill his destiny.”
The man born rich and healthy has had pictures in his subconscious mind, in his past life, of health and riches; and the poor and sick man, of disease and poverty. Man manifests, on any plane, the sum total of his subconscious beliefs.
However, birth and death are man-made laws, for the “wages of sin is death”; the Adamic fall in consciousness through the belief in two powers. The real man, spiritual man, is birthless and deathless! He never was born and has never died—“As he was in the beginning, he is now, and ever shall be!”
So through the truth, man is set free from the law of Karma, sin and death, and manifests the man made in “His image and likeness.” Man’s freedom comes through fulfilling his destiny, bringing into manifestation the Divine Design of his life.
His lord will say unto him: “Well done thou good and faithful servant, thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things (death itself); enter thou into the joy of thy Lord (eternal life).”
DENIALS AND AFFIRMATIONS
“Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee.”
All the good that is to be made manifest in man’s life is already an accomplished fact in divine mind, and is released through man’s recognition, or spoken word, so he must be careful to decree that only the Divine Idea be made manifest, for often, he decrees, through his “idle words,” failure or misfortune.
