#14B MORAL ARC OF UNIVERSE / KARMA / REINCARNATION Without involving guilty conscience, God, or divine judgment, like many I feel the moral arc of the universe somehow bends towards justice —perhaps in a spiritual version of action / reaction or cause / effect. (Note: Some extend this with "cosmic justice" where a person’s actions in one life produce karmic forces with consequences in future lives. This requires believing a non-physical essence (soul, consciousness, etc.) in each of us survives death and is part of a continual cycle of birth & rebirth. Some believe that overcoming desire and ego allows escaping this cycle Nirvana.) |
