A YOUNG MAN’S JOURNEY TOWARD BIRTH
There Are No Accidents in Life: Unraveling the Threads of Karma
Rudolf Steiner's theories on Karma suggest that the events and experiences in one's earthly life are not random or accidental but are interconnected and influenced by the individual's actions, choices, and intentions in past lives. According to Steiner, Karma is the law of cause and effect that governs the consequences of one's actions, leading to the concept of reincarnation.
The saying "There are no accidents in life" aligns with Steiner's beliefs on Karma, emphasizing that nothing happens by chance or without reason. Every event, encounter, and circumstance in a person's life is interconnected and has a deeper purpose or meaning. Even seemingly random or unfortunate occurrences are believed to be part of a larger karmic pattern.
Rudolf Steiner's quote, "LIFE AFTER DEATH - LIFE BEFORE BIRTH, ONLY BY KNOWING BOTH, DO WE KNOW ETERNITY," delves into the concept of human existence beyond the physical realm. Steiner was an Austrian philosopher, social reformer, and esotericist who founded anthroposophy, a spiritual movement that sought to bridge the gap between the spiritual and material worlds.
In this quote, Steiner suggests that to understand the nature of eternity; one must consider life after death and life before birth. It emphasizes that human existence is not limited to the time between birth and death but extends beyond both points.
