Karmic Cycle
Definition
The structural-articulation of cycles operating across the soul's incarnational-arc. Karmic Cycle names the broader-articulation of cause-and-effect cycles that operate beyond a single-incarnation; the cycle articulates karmic-resonance patterns that propagate across the soul's broader cycle-progression and integrate with the broader Sacred Cycles of Existence at the inter-life articulation.
Literal meaning
The structural-articulation of cause-and-effect cycles across incarnations. The Karmic Cycle articulates the broader-pattern of karmic-resonance propagation across the soul's continuing-articulation through multiple-incarnations.
Esoteric meaning
Karmic Cycle articulates the structural-feature that the broader contemplative-tradition has recognized as *the inter-life karmic-pattern cycles*. The structural-recognition is that karmic-patterns established through actions in one-incarnation continue to articulate across subsequent-incarnations; the broader Karma as Resonance articulation operates through the Karmic Cycle's structural-features at the inter-life articulation. The Pillar *Tetekh* (Cosmic Justice) operates through the Karmic Cycle at the cosmic-balance articulation.
Allegorical meaning
A long-river that has been flowing for many millennia, with specific-currents that follow specific-paths through the river's broader-articulation: the currents persist across long-time-periods, the river's continuing-articulation includes the currents' continuing-flow, and the structural-recognition is that the broader-river's articulation is structurally-coherent across the cumulative-currents.
Extended meaning
Karmic Cycle articulates several specific structural-features: (1) Karmic-patterns established in one-incarnation persist across subsequent-incarnations through the broader Net's field-pattern articulation; the patterns operate as continuing-articulation rather than as fixed-records; (2) Soul-groups travel together across incarnations articulating shared karmic-cycles; the broader-tradition's recognition of soul-groups operates through the Karmic Cycle's cluster-articulation; (3) The cycle integrates with the broader cycle-ladder articulation: the Karmic Cycle operates within the broader cycle-progression that the cycle-ladder names; (4) The cycle operates with the Threshold Period articulation: each Threshold Period integrates the just-completed life's karmic-articulation into the broader Karmic Cycle. The relationship to *Karma as Resonance*, *Karma Resonance*, *Tetekh*, *Threshold Period*, *Soul Cluster*, and the broader cycle-articulations is structural.
*Karmic Cycle* articulates the inter-life karmic-cycle structure. The article complements *Karma as Resonance*, *Karma Resonance*, *Tetekh*, *Threshold Period*, *Soul Cluster*, and the broader cycle articulations.
Usage
A practitioner encounters Karmic Cycle in the broader articulation of cycle-cosmology and in specific contexts of karmic-arc work.
Ritual usage
Karmic-integration practices and Threshold-Period work engage the Karmic Cycle articulation. The Rite of Purification and Severance addresses karmic-pattern accumulation at the personal-articulation.
Comparative tradition
Hindu articulation of the *karmic-cycle* across rebirths. Buddhist articulation of *kamma-vipāka* across rebirths. Jain articulation of karma-bondage and liberation. The various tradition-specific articulations of karmic-cycles.
