At a Vehmic Court in the Middle Ages a number of judges condemned a man to death and executed the sentence themselves. Earlier incarnations of the judges and of the dead man were investigated and it was found that they had all been contemporaries; the prisoner who had been put to death had been the Chief of a tribe who had ordered the death of those who were now the Vehmic judges. The deed of the former physical life had created the connection between the persons, and the forces had inscribed themselves in the Akasha Chronicle. When a man again comes down to incarnation, these forces cause him to be born at the same time and place as those to whom he is tied in this way, and they work out his destiny. The Akasha Chronicle is a veritable source of power in which everything that is due to be expiated between one human being and another, is inscribed. Some people can sense these processes, but very, very few are really conscious of them.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"VI.

Sie töteten eine Person. Man ging zurück in frühere Verkörperungen der Richter und des Getöteten, und da stellte es sich heraus, daß alle zu gleicher Zeit gelebt hatten, und zwar der Hingerichtete als Häuptling eines Stammes, und dieser hatte diejenigen, die jetzt Femrichter waren, hinrichten lassen. Diese Tat des vorherigen physischen Lebens hat den Zusammenhang geschaffen zwischen den Personen; sie hat Kräfte geschaffen, die bis in die Akasha-Chronik hineinwirken. Wenn nun ein Mensch wiederum zur Verkörperung kommt, lassen diese Kräfte ihn wiederum geboren werden gleichzeitig und am selben Ort mit dem Menschen, mit dem er so verkettet ist, und wirken sein Schicksal aus. Die Akasha-Chronik ist tatsächlich eine Kraftquelle, in der alles eingeschrieben ist, was ein Mensch an den andern abzutragen hat.
