    G'day Chuck,

    >And as you state, much as one reads in Bardon's texts. Franz simply
    went about balancing himself in the elements when attacked by evil.
    He did not retaliate. <

    Having only read IIH, I've little knowledge of Bardon's biographical
    history. In a nutshell, I'm not sure *what* he did or didn't do.

    > Karma, Divine Providence took care of retribution/striking back. <

    If you want to look at it that way.

    To me, "Retribution" only makes sense in the context of "I must
    punish you, because you did something I don't agree with, or
    something that offends me".

    My concept of Divine Providence is of something that's infinitely
    Inclusive. Therefore, there's *nothing* in existence
    that's "disagreeable" or "offensive" to Divine Providence.
    Therefore, Divine Retribution ceases to make sense.

    Further, my concept of Divine Providence is something that is
    Omniscient. It would, by definition, be impossible to "offend"
    something that sees all.

    Finally, "offense" only make sense in the context of Human
    morality. For example: "I believe homosexuality is wrong.
    Therefore, I will be offended whenever I encounter homosexuality".

    Why assume that Divine Providence applies similar moral judgements
    towards *Her own creation*? What would be the point of Infinite
    Love creating something that She was only going judge later on?

    Indeed, the phrase "later on" doesn't make any sense when applied to
    Divine Providence, if she is indeed Omniscient.

    I can only conclude that Divine Providence does not judge, does not
    observe Morality in the way Humans do, and certainly does not dish
    out Retribution.

    > We get what we put out. <

    It's not clear whether you're talking about "morality" here,
    or "actions".

    If you're talking your morality, well, I'd say it's entirely
    subjective. (Bardon's description of the Soul Mirror exercise makes
    that plain: that *YOU* judge your own morality; that there's
    no "universal morality" that's applicable to all.)

    However, if you're talking actions, I'd have to agree with you.
    Because for me Karma is like this: "I lay my head upon a pillow, a
    dent appears in the pillow".

    It's cause and effect.

    See ya,

    Jason
