Since ancient times the secret doctrine has taught the law of karma and its twin doctrine, reincarnation, as an explanation to these and many other mysteries of human life.

In the scriptures, this phenomenon is called killing the conscience. Drawing on the philosophy of yoga and other spiritual systems, Why We Fight: Practices for Lasting Peace offers practical tools for self-transformation.
