I see a common assumption in both Christian and kamitic cosmology/philosophy that raises some quiestions in my mind. These questions will bring some interesting discussions (I hope) though maybe not a conclusive answer.
The assumption I speak of is the idea that what we do in our physical life has an influence on what we will experience in our non physical life. That is as my be yet never have i seen it suggested that what we do in our non physical life may influence the hand we are dealt in our physical existance. In fact, we speak of it as the after life--a kind of intermediate period or limbo where we sit tight while the scales are weighed.
It's pretty obvious why Christianity doesn't consider the influence of the non physical life on the physical life because they don't have a tradition of believing in reincarnatio (even though the bible itself teaches reincarnation at least in the case of John the Baptist whom Jesus told his disciples was actually Elijah). However, since the kamau and other ATRs do acknowledge reincarnation is there no concommitant teaching that our present life in the physical plane is influenced by our deeds in the non physical? I say non physical rather than astral since the astral plane is a part of the lower Sahu level of the spirit.
