In response to public demand for a simple exposition of theosophical techings, Dr Annie Besant and C.W.Leadbeater designed a set of seven Theosophical manuals, and Karma is the fourth in that series. These were written for the busy men and women of the workaday world, rather than the undaunted eager student, and seek to make plain and lucid some of the eternal truths that render life easier to bear and death easier to face.
According to Master KH: 'Every thought of man upon being evolved...becomes.....an active intelligence for a longer or shorter period proportionate with the original intensity of the cerebral action which generated it....Man is continually peopling his current in space with a world of his own ...a current which reacts upon any sensitive or nervous organization which comes in contact with it, in proportion to its dynamic intensity...(This is given) the name of "Karma". The Adept evolves these shapes consciously; other men throw them off unconsciously'
