Karma 

Every thought of man upon being evolved passes into the inner world, and becomes an active entity by associating itself, coalescing we might term it, with an elementalthat is to say, with one of the semi-intelligent forces of the kingdoms. It survives as an active intelligencea creature of the mind’s begettingfor a longer or shorter period proportionate with the original intensity of the cerebral action which generated it. Thus, a good thought is perpetuated as an active, beneficent power, an evil one as a maleficent demon. And so man is continually peopling his current in space with a world of his own, crowded with the offspring of his fancies, desires, impulses and passions; a current which reacts upon any sensitive or nervous organization which comes in contact with it, in proportion to its dynamic intensity. The Buddhist calls it his ‘;Skandha;’ the Hindu gives it the name of ‘;Karma.’ The Adept evolves these shapes consciously; other men throw them off unconsciously.
