We no longer need to feel that life unfolds in totally puzzling, strange, and bewildering ways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, to our surprise, the principle of karma provides\nsatisfying answers that help make greater sense of life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Certain themes relating to karma are repeated in the book.\nSuch repetition has been retained as a means of gentle emphasis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, Buddhist understanding is drawn on since this\ntradition has extensively written on the law of karma. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, while the focus of this book is about karma in the\npresent, it also touches on the possibility of rebirth, and that actions in\nthis life influence our future state. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By keeping an open mind on rebirth, we can stay receptive to possible new levels of insight, while realizing that specific details about an afterlife may remain unknowable and unsolvable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>May this book lead you to a place where you can personally\nexperience the exciting reality of karma \u2013 a law governing life that can enable\nyou to see, and better manage, the causes of your own suffering and happiness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alexander Peck (December 11,
