It would seem that karma can span life-times, and so the cause-and-effect viewpoint may be lost with the veil. However, you may be able to find hints and clues throughout your lifetime...a particular "energy" at play.
It seems a better word for what Ra is describing may be "momentum" rather than "inertia." Say in a past life, you set the ball of karma rolling. As you enter a different incarnation without relieving the karma, you may not be able to see where the ball began rolling, but you should be able to discern its path. So maybe there's no clear action in your past which set the karmic wheel in motion, but you should be able to find signs and hints of where your karma lies and what issues you may be in incarnation to work on.
Quote:34.4
Our understanding of karma is that which may be called inertia. Those actions which are put into motion will continue using the ways of balancing until such time as the controlling or higher principle which you may liken unto your braking or stopping is invoked. This stoppage of the inertia of action may be called forgiveness. These two concepts are inseparable.
