Edgar Cayce on Karma - Group Karma

Karma also operates at a group level. Groups include families, nations, and even businesses. The Cayce readings attribute the Spanish Civil War to the Andean genocide committed by the Spanish conquistadors to Latin America. It was implied that the combatants were the same conquistadors. Again, it must be said that Karma's purpose is not simply to cause suffering, but to give the individual an opportunity to experience every aspect of life. For instance, if a person has wronged someone in a past life, he will be given the opportunity to experience being wronged.

A core element of Karma is spiritual evolution. It is often said that experience is the best teacher. Certain experiences help to ingrain certain types of behaviour and patterns, such as thinking twice before committing anything wrong by instinct. Many karmic experiences demand simply learning how to behave in a good and proper fashion.

If a group is meant to learn lesson, individuals, whether they consciously know it or not, are imposed with the mission of revealing the lesson to the rest of his group. One particular reading was given for a child who was said to be very down to earth and practical and was born into a family of impractical idealists. The other siblings grew up to be members and leaders of volunteer and socialist groups. This child, however, grew up to be an engineer. There was neither great affinity nor antagonizements between the other members, but the child's character and that of the family were significantly different. When the children grew up, the engineer, however, was more concerned with social issues which could be attributed to the general temperament of the family. Likewise his other brothers and sisters where more down to earth, a trait that could have 'rubbed off' from their brother, the engineer
