Question

Read the following passage and answer the questions: [5]

Good begets good and bad begets bad was a new idea five thousand years ago. In ancient Egypt, rather

than feeling directly responsible for what happens, people believed they were constantly under the

attack of demons and bad spirits, Protection from these negative energies was obtained by pleasing God.

Gradually mankind realized that one’s own thoughts and actions had more to do with the results that

occurred in one’s life. This was simultaneous with the idea that there was one God within all the lesser

gods and that one God was also within us. By finding God within ourselves, we could access the power to

create miracles. When people finally got the notion of Karma or cause and effect, then the next idea was

forgiveness.
