Understanding What Are Karmic Accounts

We are not individuals acting alone in this world drama; we act in this
extraordinary drama or play of life with other actors or souls who (along
with us) play their different roles with different physical costumes at
different times in the drama.* During the process of interaction with other
actors (souls) and according to the type of interaction with them, we create
accounts of debit or credit that become the basis of our connections with
others.* The reasons for which a specific relationship goes well or not are
in the so called 'karmic account' that I have accumulated with the other
person in the past. The past could be in this birth alone or in one or many
previous births. *The souls that play the parts of parents, children,
husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, friends, office colleagues and others
whom I know form a network for the giving and receiving of happiness and
sorrow from accounts established in the past or being created in the
present.
*
The strongest relationships that I have now were established previously. We
knew each other in other lives and but in different roles. The daughter of
some births ago returns now as the father, the best friend comes back as the
sister etc. As long as the account exists, the interchange of actions
between two souls continues. When there is nothing more to give or receive,
the paths between the two souls separate by death, a break-up, a divorce or
simply by the loss of contact. An e.g. of this is our school friends. Many
of our friends whom we were close to in our school days, we are not in touch
with today. Another e.g. is when we change jobs; we might lose complete
contact with our old colleagues.
