Karma - View's of Carl Jung and Edgar Cayce

[Lynn]

Hello

From the view of Carl Jung :


“I feel very strongly that I am under the influence of things or questions which were left incomplete and unanswered by my parents and grandparents and more distant ancestors. It often seems as if there were an impersonal karma within a family which is passed on from parents to children. It has always seemed to me that I had to answer questions which fate had posed to my forefathers, and which had not yet been answered, or as if I had to complete, or perhaps continue, things which previous ages had left unfinished.”

Carl Jung (1875 - 1961)

Growing up in a house where much of whom I was and whom I am today could not be openly talked about on any levels I have to wonder if maybe that we carry forwards the debts of our past. Though I do not go to call it a debt in the sense that it is something that has to be repaid, more that it is something that has to be understoood or have some light of understandings put around it. Being able to see dead people is in many circles not thought of to be normal or even mentally stable, but it is in the line of the family tree I have, though not openly talked about.

It leaves one to wonder on having a role to step into when one comes in, and while at times where one steps into with a family so does not seem to fit, we are still part of that family.



From the views of Edgar Cayce ( The Sleeping Prophet )

“Karma is neither a debt that must be paid according to some universal tally sheet, nor is it necessarily a set of specific circumstances that must be experienced because of deeds or misdeeds perpetrated in the past. Karma is simply a memory. It is a pool of information that the subconscious mind draws upon and can utilize in the present. It has elements that are positive as well as those which may seem negative.”

Is karma a debt that must be paid, or is it like Cayce feels simply a memory. Are we simply tapping into memory and in that making it seem on the negative levels.
