Karma is just more random speculation about what's behind the curtain of reality, another desparate attempt to make reality "fair" or at least following some sort of ruleset. Reality owes no one anything.

Any attempt to suggest that there's a system for delivering consequences for action beyond simple cause and effect must account for how reality is actually experienced. Karma actually uses itself to explain the random, indifferent nature of existence by saying that seemingly random outcomes "must" be the influence of karma from past lives. Additionally, in most systems with karma or karma-like influences, the objective is to eventually escape existence itself, not to realize an idealized existence finally free of suffering. So to me it's just utterly pointless hogwash.

No - I think as its soemthing we say after the event like "Ah so they got their comeuppance at last" that its not valid to count it in some people just seem to be able to squeeze past all the problematic bits - When I am dead I am counting on staying dead I don't want to go thorugh this drama another time.

There are extensive studies that have been done with children all over the world, ages 2-6 who remember past lives, and their detailed memories were verified.

As for karma, I don't think that happens. I suppose someone could get theirs in the next reincarnation, but people who remember past lives, say that's not the case, and that people take one role in one life, and another role in another just to experience different things. This is hard for me to believe, but that's what they all say. Dunno.

No, the whole ‘Karma’ thing is simply consequences catching up with actions… Sure, some A-hole cuts me off on the highway, I don’t feel karma’s going to get him, but I do feel he’s going to pull that on someone with a lot less control, likely packing a weapon, and battle it out with his own kind. It’s rarely ‘instant’

Reincarnation..? Never, ever ~

if you keep being a dick someone or something will not like it and show you hopefully but not always the case.

Not a believer in karma, I believe in action and consequence. You make a choice and the result is determined by your action. In the case of misinterpreting someone's poor decision which results in a poor outcome for them as karma doesn't sit right with me

No and No. Good things happen to bad people, bad things happen to good people. The closest thing to karma is if someone pisses you off, they get hit buy a bus and you refuse to help them.
Dead is dead is dead.

I definitely believe in Karma...I've seen it applied at least a couple times in the lives of others. (I remain hopeful that the GOP experiences a boatload of it.)
Reincarnation, I never really knew what to think, but was open to it if others discussed. However, since I read the book "Many Lives, Many Masters" (Brian Weiss) I'm fascinated by the subject. I've always believed humans are composed of energy and that our energy could likely take many forms, so...I can't discount the possibility.

No and no. The last five years have been full of surprises and I would like something to pin it on but common sense says no.

The question is really....Do you beieve in the Supernatural?
IMO there is absolutely no credible evidence that the Supernatural exists. The Supernatural is a delusion invented by mankind to explain things that mankind does not understand. I say...Put your "faith" in Science and eventually Science will have all the answers. But maybe not in your lifetime.

We exisit right now as the inarnation of the remnants of a supernova. The entire solar system may well be reclcyed again, but I don't think we have to worry about that. The only thing we have to worry over is right now, our incrediabily short and wonderful lives. Thinking one will live forever following rules somebody made up seems pretty silly, and usually benefits the people making the rules. IMO, don't worry, work on being happy.

Karma is a myth, period! Secondly, there is no evidence that supports "cosmic momentum". Thirdly, when an organism dies, it decomposes and becomes energy for something else. Fourth, there is no proof that we come back the way most people think we do. We are made up of matter and matter can be destroyed. However, energy, on the other hand, is conserved.

Karma in its most simple form is "doing." That's all it means is doing. The saying of "what goes around comes around" is not demonstrable but is a part of cosmic momentum if given enough time. What happens to karma that you create? Does it tie in with the physical body and will it help you come back after death?
Apply the same questions to a sculpture or painting that you did.
Reincarnation is an unvalid belief that has about as much evidence as a god belief. God belief is supernatural by explanation. Where is the logic? Where is the evidence? To believe in reincarnation is about as good as believing in Slenderman. These beliefs continue because no one can face their own non existence.

"True" karma only comes into play when you're reincarnated. The concept of karma catching up to people in this lifetime is a new age misunderstanding of the Hindu concept. It may also be related to the "three fold law" of Wicca.

No, I don't believe in that or reincarnation.

I really don't believe in either. Although, I will use the word 'karma' when something comes back on a person after they've done something shady. I think what I call karma is just some people's bad behavior coming back to bite them. I don't think there's any invisible force in the universe causing it to happen.

I do not believe in karma, yet I do believe in reincarnation. Have my reasons to do so.

Keyboard Mama, there is some evidence that we can inherit skills from our family as well as family traits. I can look up the study if you're interested?

Everything is reincarnated, All matter and energy that exist today is what we got with the big bang. Our atoms are 14 billion years old and have been reincarnated into many types of energy. It never dies , only moves onto a new entity

No.

Like a lot of things that can't be demonstrably proved or disproved, I really don't know what I think about it. I can't really divorce myself from the idea of souls and of some kind of continuing energy, though.

I hope for Karma

Nope

No. No.

I do. I believe in positive and negative energy and believe we are made of energy. And karma totally. I know, but I do.

Karma to some extent that your actions can affect your future. If your actions are "good" towards others, you are more likely to have them reciprocate with "good" actions towards you. Re-incarnation - I like to beleive could happen, like the existence of gods, but do not beleive exist.
