________________ THEORY OF SOUL AND KARMIC MATTER 2.3 TERMINOLOGY 2.3.1. Karmic Process We now describe some important technical terms. The bond between soul and karmic matter is called karmic bondage. Note that the karmic matter is in association with the soul, but it has no direct contact with the soul2. However the karmic matter, coupled with the soul's perverted energy element, gives rise to a karmic forcefield/karmic field. In turn, the force-field gives rise to karmic influx, the flow of karmons from all directions into the soul. Further, the karmic force coupled with the soul's obstructed energy element fuse the incoming karmons: we will call this process karmic fusion. The total karmic matter fused to the soul is thereby revised, and this dynamic karmic process continues. This process is depicted in Figs. 2. 1-2. 4. We will illustrate the soul containing karmic matter as a karmic force lines karmic matter soul Fig. 2.) The representation of a soul (= square) with karmic matter (= diagonal lines) and karmic force-lines (= parallel lines), i.e. karmic bondage. Karmon Fig. 2.2 An incoming karmon (= grey circle) and the karmic influx (= the curved lines).
