Ka

[Letti]

Ka is some kind of untouchable force or will that shapes the future and the fate of people.

It's not easy to define this word because it has way too many meanings (like most of the important words in High Speech). We can translate it 'destiny'.

From all the DT books and its sisters it sounds like to me that it is a series of different situations. It could be fate, destiny, or the repetition of history...you know the phrase 'history repeats itself'...that's what i believe the term 'ka is a wheel' means.

You are absolutely right. Right now I am trying to write short definitions but most of them will need to be extended and ka is certainly one of them.
