Elmat ..... there is a great void in the West when it comes to understanding

the word karma. It has little to do with fate, retribution etc ....... in the sense that it is used. That comes as a result of having an angry Judeo-Christian God (including Islam, automatically).

Flatly, karma just means action. Going more deeply, it refers to action without consciousness (awareness). Perhaps the majority of the Christian Western world has no clue that this is precisely the "Forgive them Lord for they .... (guess what?)!" quote of Jesus in the historical reference. I should know because I learned my Latin well.

A determination of the consequence(s) of such action offer a computationally intractable problem ..... related, I suspect, to ascertaining whether two arbitrary things are independent/dependent. So no one can tell you what karma will do. Nor can you even suspect. But, consequence of action ..... and unconscious action, in particular, is certain. That is what you see when you look around you ... anywhere.

Science is a confused baby that does not know its babyness or its confusion. It never will. You see this whenever you see someone prattling with certainty.

Incidentally ...... I suspect that two arbitrary things are never independent in an ultimate sense. The fact they have been chosen to look at settles it. :)
