Second
The second idea - Law, is called Karma. It is the law of recurring cycles in Nature and the constant tendency to restore disturbed equilibrium. Karma applies to our moral nature; it is the law of ethical causation, of justice, reward and punishment, the cause of birth and rebirth. Viewed from another standpoint, it is simply effect flowing from cause, action and reaction, the result of every thought and act. Karma means, literally, action. Theosophy views the universe as an intelligent whole, and every motion in the universe is an action leading to results, which themselves lead to further results. We always act in connection with others, affecting them for good or ill, and we get the necessary reaction from the causes set in motion by ourselves. This presents the idea of absolute justice and the essence of free-will.

Interwoven with Karma is another aspect of the law of cycles - Reincarnation. It means that men and women as thinkers, composed of soul, mind and spirit, occupy body after body in life on this earth which is the scene of our evolution, and where we must, under the laws of our being, complete that evolution. In any one life we are known as a personality, but in the whole stretch of eternity we are individual, feeling in ourselves an identity not dependent on name, form or recollection.

Third
The third fundamental principle points to the fact that all beings in the universe have evolved from lower points of perception into greater and greater individualization; that beings above man have gone through our stage; that there can never be a stoppage of evolution in an infinite universe of infinite possibilities; that whatever stage of perfection may be reached in any period there are always greater possibilities beyond.

Viewing life and its possible object, with all the varied experience possible for a human being, one realizes that a single life is not enough for carrying out all that is intended by Nature, to say nothing of what we ourselves desire to do. The scale and variety in experience is enormous; every form of evolving intelligence in nature either was, is, or will be human.
