Answer 2

What a remarkably interesting question! If you take those who came before you to mean your ancestors, then I don't think so. They have their own Karma and only they can fulfill it. But if you take 'those who came before you' to mean your own previous incarnations, then I would certainly say yes. We can be experiencing now the consequences of problems layed down in past lives. By willingly paying off such Karmic debt we clear the whole Karmic stream, which implies that we heal ourselves both now and then. Does that sound right d'you think?
