Through the law of karma, the effects of all deeds actively create past, present, and future experiences, thus <B>making one responsible for one's own life</B>, and the pain and joy it brings to him/her and others.<BR/><BR/><B>></B>Karma means "deed" or "act" and more broadly names the universal principle of cause and effect, action and reaction that governs all life. Karma is not fate, for <B>humans act with free will creating their own destiny</B>. If we sow goodness, we will reap goodness; if we sow evil, we will reap evil.<BR/><BR/>I think this idea of karma is fairly consistent with lds views on agency and what we call in the church the law of the harvest.Robby Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165072060357811166noreply@blogger.com
