Origins of Karmic Liability Initiating the questions at the December
question and answer session was an inquiry of how, in the early history of mankind, the first individual became liable to death at the
hands of another, since the common understanding of karmic accountancy is
that any retribution experienced is in payment for a like act committed at a
prior time. Richard replied that everything
that happens a person, whether good or bad, is earned by that person. Thus the first individual deliberately killed by another
would have had to have been responsible for his owe fate—but how, since he
did not already commit a murder? Richard was inclined to guess that the
liability of’ the first individual so-killed may have derived from an
accumulation of negative karma sufficient to allow his murder. Karma is not
necessarily returned in kind, but always in perfectly just value. Another idea advanced as a possible first
cause of liability to murder was that the individual might have been so
fearful as to precipitate the means of his own death in this manner. |
