Grace and spiritual impact in the material world
I don’t belive in The Grace the way St Paul expresses how it works. I do believe The Law of Karma is absolute, with the possibility of The Holy Father to give the Grace to some repenting particulars.
Neither have I any faith in The Lord knowing all the future. But the Higher Powers are capable of intervening in situations to help making the development lean to a certain outcome. These outcomes can be both good and evil depending on which powers is in play.
The vast majority of everyday incidents are just results from people’s plotting to go about in the material world. And have next to no significance in the dynamic development of history. But the linking of, the outcome of all this human activity and the consequential direction it imposes on the major developments are heavily influenced by the spiritual world and the higher powers. Which states that all paramount human kind achievements has been and will always be dependent of a certain level of “supernatural” sponsoring.
