Reincarnation and the Law of Karma

by William Walker Atkinson

Overview

Karma and Reincarnation goes hand in hand. Most religions have a trace of acknowledgement of these ancient laws, except Christianity. The original Christian Gnosis, that predated organized Christianity still believed in Karma and Reincarnation, the early Church fathers made sure that such notions were eliminated and wiped out. Hence strengthening their positions and the political ties the church and the state had forged. Atkinson's book is a smart historical and philosophical reference through the ages of these two beliefs. Reincarnation as a belief makes the fear of death obsolete. According to its followers; death is nothing more than a state change and our spirit is an everlasting, immortal light, containing our birthright a slice of the divine.

Dumont, Atkinson authored numerous books on topics including yoga, Eastern philosophy, personal magnetism, and the laws of attraction. His works aimed to demystify esoteric teachings and make them accessible to a Western audience.
