karma--"The whole ethical consequence of one's acts
considered as fixing one's lot in the future existence"
(Webster). The accumulated effects of the sins of past
lives; the burden that those who believe in karma expect to
carry for ages, or until they work out of it. They are
weary treadmill travelers from birth to death, and from
death to birth. There is no such hopeless note in the
teachings of Jesus. He came to bring a full consciousness
of abundant life, complete forgiveness, redemption from all
sin, and victory over death and the grave, thus delivering

man from any occasion for re-embodiment and from all
bondage to karma.
"keep my word"--(John 8:51). Treasure the words of Jesus as
a saving balm in time of need.
"keys of the kingdom of heaven"--(Matt. 16:19). Affirmation
and denial. (see affirmation; denial)
king (righteous)--The executive faculty in every man whose
life is guided, governed, and directed by Spirit.
"king of the Jews, this is the"--(Luke 23:38). This means
that the word of the I AM goes forth as a ruling suggestion
in the spiritual and intellectual. In the physical is goes
forth in the individual consciousness, but the doing away
with the limitations of mortal mind pulls down all walls of
partition, and the whole man accepts the word of Truth.
kingdom of God--The Christ consciousness, kingdom of heaven.
kingdom of heaven--The kingdom of heaven is the realm of
divine ideas, producing their expression, perfect harmony.
It is within man.
kingdom within--That realm in man's consciousness where he
knows and understands God.
knowing--There is in man a knowing capacity transcending
intellectual knowledge. Nearly everyone has at some time
touched this hidden wisdom and has been more or less
astonished at its revelations. The knowing that man
receives from the direct fusion of the Mind of God with his
mind is real spiritual knowing.
knowledge--"Acquaintance with fact; hence, scope of
information" (Webster). Intellectual knowledge is
independent of feeling; it is literal knowledge without
consideration of the Spirit. Man can store up a great fund
of knowledge gleaned from books and teachers, but the most
unlettered man who sits at the feet of his Lord in the
silence comes forth radiant with the true knowledge, that
of Spirit.
