Kriology II Recording 22
In this recording, Kriyananda answers questions from students, and continues his discussion of the astral, earth life and karma.
"For example, everybody has built into their system, death karma. You’re going to die, your body is going to die at some moment. And the question is, can we speed it up? And the answer is, you better believe you can speed it up. Can you extend it? Yes, you can extend it. Are they going to die? Absolutely. But when one dies can make a tremendous difference."
Please listen to the recording once, then listen again using the PDF outline below.
When you are ready, please answer the study questions. They will help you assimilate the teachings. We suggest that you answer them in your own spiritual notebook. Your answers are private and for yourself alone.
We have also provided an answer key that you can access if you wish. The answer key PDF is at the bottom of the page.
