In Karma II, The Book of Works: The Energy Dynamics of Karmic Evolutionary Progression, Shanna Spalding St. Clair presents an often mystifying concept: the energy dynamics that form the human karmic experience and create and align karmic progression. Karma II's topics include: relationships of the soul, origin and purpose of human form, karmic tasks, karmic lessons, karmic design, karmic theory of light, simultaneously incarnating souls, myth and karma, the law of similars, healing, teaching, reincarnation, transcendence, and much more. "... Those with whom you learn your most valuable karmic lessons while in an incarnation are there to affirm your existence as a separate form of light energy and to give assistance to your progression, and it is through this choice of interaction with these other seemingly influential forms of light (which you perceive as your soulmates) that you appear to gain your direction and purpose for the current incarnation, because they provide for you the limitations (yes, limitations) to perceive what that direction and purpose can be." "The Principle of Perspective involves how we know or how we perceive or how we choose an incarnation for the potential value that its specific parameters may place on us as soul-form entities in order to promote the viewpoint, the perspective, through which lessons that will promote our karmic progression can be acquired. " "What appears to be in opposition may, on balance, not be in opposition but may be providing occasions for similars to interact... That which appears in opposition is but a further aspect of the thing itself... The key for karmic progression in a human incarnation is to find the point of balance so that the continuum is perceived." "Teaching is the purpose of choosing an incarnation on the earthplane in the first instance... Healing is a form of teaching. Both healing and teaching result in learning and progression. These are inseparable causes and effects." Shanna Spalding St. Clair has been a writer, spiritual educator, and medium for 30 years. Her spiritual writings are inspirational and illuminating. She has presented workshops throughout the U.S. Shanna currently writes and teaches in Florida.
