Karma probably owes it origin to someone(s) who anticipated Freud and the power of the personal unconscious. The modern derivitive of Karma is the concept of repitition compusion (the tendency to repeat the familiar.) This is the rationaliztion for people repeating the same patterns and validates the out of favor notion that the past lives on in the present. It is also true that unless ones learns one's lessons (karma) meaning learn from experience, the same pattern is likely to be repeated over and over again.

The belief that our present life is because of our actions in past lives is a fallacy. If there is great difference among individuals, whether genetic or environmental, it is just plain luck. A cow is a cow and a dog is a dog because that's life. I was not before birth and I will not be after death. It is better to accept that we are mortals than to have imaginary notions of immortality. We will not live in heaven or hell hereafter, we will simply die and cease to be. Just as the universe came to be and is progressing according to laws of physics , chemistry , etc. we came to be and progress according to laws of biology, psychology, sociology , etc. Just as matter has properties we beings have nature which is the result of our genetic endowments as nurtured by the environment. It is this nature which may be called personality which determines our actions. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""Minds Eye"" group.
