No, though I do think sometimes when you fuck around you find out.

I don't believe in some huge cosmic balance, just that actions have natural consequences.

Not in the divine justice system sense of the word, no I don't. It simply doesn't make sense.

In the sense that doing good stuff has a positive effect on *self* and bad stuff a negative effect then, yes.

I know someone who is an all round bad guy and I can remember people saying..

"Karma will catch up with him"

"He won't have no luck for doing things like that"

But life is very good to him.

There are lots of laws around d karma, 12 I think. For me the most important ones are about responsibility and humility. Both make for auch nicer person which in return creates good energy with greater effects.

I practice white witchcraft and I'm a spiritualist. I very much believe in karma, however karma doesn't work in the way people believe it does, so yes your friend might not be getting what you believe is justice.

I know exactly what you mean though. People say all the time that crime doesn't pay, but very often it does, and it pays more than a clean living.

There isn't any doubt about it .. it's a balance within the earth .. people associate it with religion but it's nothing to do with that .. it's the balance of good and bad that has to be respected.. it WILL always catch you when you least expect it in the last possible way you could imagine

Say if you apply for a job you really like but don't get it....it could be fate saying you weren't meant to get it...as at the the next job you do get you meet you future partner..

That would mean we have no free will wouldn't it?

We tend to only see omens after the event which suggests to me that there's a huge element of seeing what you want to believe

Sort of yes. But can get in a bit of a twist over it as if you wish bad karma on someone then that is bad karma for you. So I just tend to let the universe get on with it and have a smirk to myself and a little 'oh dear how awful' when I hear of bad karma upon a mortal enemy (of which I have none, you listening karma)

No idea.. irrelevant though as my Darren Brown statement was about his opinion on free will..

A quick glance asking " do we we really have free will" seems to come down on the side of "No",..

which actually is what you intimated in your first post..

Quite a lot of philosophical debates on the subject..

I believe in karma, in that if you wrong someome, it will come back on you. It may take a long time, but it will definitely come back on you, though you may not even realise it.

I also believe in fate, in that you're fated in life to have or have not. If you don't get something you want, it's probably for a very good reason, and something better will be around the corner.

100% believe in good and bad Karma!

I’ve seen people get served bad karma on many occasions.

I believe that if you do good things for people and remember to pay it forward, then good things come back around, which has happened in my life often.

Just found this amusing .. slightly linked to karma

Religious Truth

Taoism: Shit Happens.

Buddhism: If shit happens, it really isn't shit.

Hinduism: This shit has happened before. Islam: If shit happens, it is the will of Allah.

Catholicism: Shit happens because you deserve it.

Protestantism: Work harder, or shit will happen. Materialist: Whoever dies with the most shit, wins! Atheist: I can't believe this shit.

Militant Agnostic: I don't know shit & neither do you!

Judaism: Why does shit always happen to us? Eco-Spiritual: Compost Happens. It's all good shit.

Rastafarianism: Let's smoke this shit!

Everything happens for a reason .. people really can't accept that especially if a bad thing happens to them

Out of bad comes good ..

One can't exist without the other

Foreverance this too shall pass .. nothing lasts forever

Negatives are the feeding source of good seeds .. take the lotus flower a symbol of compassion in Buddism

The metaphor being out of the detritus at the bottom of a lake does the lotus flower grow from

In Buddism this symbolises compassion that your enemy now could have been your mother in a past life or your mother now could have been your enemy..

Karma and karmic debt for me are very real ..

That's my point really. Surely the universal power (whatever that may be) can't dish out karmic retribution individually.

I'm thinking of the commonly held belief that karma means bad things happen to bad people. This is so clearly demonstrably not true that I wonder how things like natural disasters are explained and children with life limiting illness

I think being alive teaches us lessons. You do something nice and you get a good feeling from it, you do something bad and (most people) get a bad feeling, you repeat the nice actions but not the bad ones (eventually).
