What are lipikas?
Lipikas (Sk.). The celestial recorders, the “Scribes”, those who record every word and deed, said or done by man while
on this earth. As Occultism teaches, they are the agents of KARMA—the retributive Law.
[They are the Registrars or chroniclers who impress on the (for us) invisible tables of the
Astral Light, "the great gallery of paintings of eternity, a faithful record of every action and even every thought of the
man, of all that was, is or will be in the phenomenal Universe. As expressed in Isis without a veil, this divine and Invisible canvas
is the Book of Life. The Lipikas weigh the acts of each personality at the time the
definitive separation from their "principles" in the Kâma-loka, and they supply man with the mold of his future ethereal body,
mold adjusted to the Karmic conditions that have to form the field of his next life. However the Lipikas
are those who, from the passive Universal Mind, project in objectivity the ideal plan of the Universe upon which
"Builders" rebuild the Kosmos after each Pralaya, it is they who run in pairs with the seven Angels
of the Presence or Spirits of the stars, thus being the direct amanuenses of the eternal Ideation or "Divine Thought",
as Plato calls it. -See: Intelligences, Karma, Lords of Karma, etc.] (G.T. H.P.B.)
