Bill, I am shocked that you think karma can be invalidated by worshipping God! Anthony

We see the world the way it is because many don't believe in karma, believe it can be invalidated one way or the other, or don't bother to think about it at all.

Worrying about those long term effects strikes me as being like worrying about what is the outcome of history or life. Who knows. (Worrying here in the sense of putting your full non-dual attention on them; obviously if you are engaged in some task, you will have to figure out your estimate of the effects of various courses of action; use the compostable paper cup or bring a ceramic mug that will eventually break and go into landfill; get this degree to work in that field. ). I can think that the effects of a lifetime of habitual meanness will be severer, but I find for myself that habitual meanness can only be avoided one burning angry moment at a time.
