Hi... Can I offer the possibility that karma is self-inflicted - i.e.
the judgements you make about yourself. I.e. Some people believe killing
is rightful if it serves some greater good (or purpose). If they then
learn that all killing is bad this may then form a conflict which can be
the seed of one line of their karma.
I totally agree with you - it's the lie and unwillingness to confront
the truth that holds it in place and people do tend to withdraw from
that area to a degree. And good karma - yes, it's you vs the mind - you
being the creator of good karma and the mind the carrier of bad karma.
Kind regards,
Rich

Subject: [K-list] How Karma Works - My perspective
Hello all,
My perspective is that karma is initially created when a person does
something that harms another and the justifies then act. Example,
hitting someone because they hit you creates karma. Of course this
doesn't have to be just an individual, but could incompass a group or
more. The justification, or lie, is what maintians the energy in ones
space and causes the future bad occurances.
As long as the justification is maintained the person or group will
continue to pull in bad things upon themself in relation to what they
did. A person or group will tend to withdrawal from such an area, that
is a sign that they have bad karma in such an area. There are other
sign too, such as being critical, but that one is very obvious.
The only way to clear up the karma is to confront the act and take
responsibility for it.
Forgiveness is a good tool to use early on to clear up karma. It's
important to forgive others first, because one cannot have what one is
not willing to give. In fogiving one must also be willing to take
responsibility for their acts, or the karma will resurface. In other
words, don't justify it, just accept it.
That covers bad karma. As to good karma I don't believe in it.
Anything that controls ones life instead of the other way around is not
good. The soul creates it's own good future, not karma. "You reap what
you sow" follows this beautifully. You do something wrong and justify
it, you are creating negativity and get that in return. You project
positive ideas from within and you will get that in return. It's as
simple as that!
with peace and love,
Nick
