We are All Karma Chameleons

More people in the world believe in karma than do not. Unfortunately, for those of us who live here, most people in the United States of America do not.

Yet, just in case, you believe that the only people who believe in the principles of karma and reincarnation live in the East, below are quotes from famous Westerners to show that "you are not alone".

Of course, to balance my karma, there are quotes from famous Easterners. For after all, most Easterners believe very firmly in the concepts of reincarnation and karma.

Trail of Diamonds in the Sand

Like a trail of diamonds in the sand, these quotes reveal the truth of our existence.

For as we journey through life, we learn tolerance. For we have been and will be all things... If you have any quotes to share about reincarnation, karma, or past lives, I invite you to send them to me so that I can share them here.
