Is it just me, or is the concept of karma and past life sins a bit unfair? Some people are born evil, and they're basically just doomed to be punished in the next life. I think there's a good chance I'm being punished this lifetime for past life sins, but I can't help but wonder, why was I born an evil person who would deserve this amount of punishment in their next life?

Our spiritual and moral growth carries over from one incarnation to another.

Your energy carries over. It contains everything that happened but with the materialism aspect stripped away.

Not unless they decide to not commit evil through their own free will, or we make them not do that against it.

Karma is another deterministic philosophy that fails where all of them fail: Under scrutiny.

How does karma exist alongside free will? Is it karma if a person just feels like walking up and punching someone? Any belief that asks you to bail out when questioned isn't a good one.
>>
Reincarnation sounds like the most malicious, cruel trick you could play on a conscious being.

>How does karma exist alongside free will?
You have one choice.
Accept you are not in control, and only observing.
Delude yourself into identifying with what you observe, and thus suffer or enjoy accordingly.
That is your one and only choice.
It changes nothing - which is why it is free.

Most people's understanding of karma is wrong.
It's not a punishment.

The way it works is that the universe wants all perspectives to be experienced.
If I hunt and kill an animal, the universe celebrates the perspective of the hunter, AND the perspective of the prey.
Both perspectives need to be experienced.

At the same time, my soul WANTS to experience the opposite perspective, so in the next lifetime, I CHOOSE to incarnate as the prey, who gets hunted.
As human beings, we may assume this is bad, and that no one would want to be prey.
The soul isn't attached to the pain of the experience.
The soul just wants the experience itself, so it chooses to incarnate into every experience imaginable.

So in one lifetime you're the killer, and in another lifetime you're the victim.
From the higher perspective, both experiences are celebrated.
Your soul experiences it like a movie or video game. It knows that the experience is only temporary, so it isn't afraid of how painful it will be.
It's sort of like going to see a horror movie, or riding a scary roller coaster. It's fun, but when you're fully immersed in it, it feels scary.
It's a type of scary that's meant to be enjoyable, because you know it's not real.
Your soul knows that its true nature is eternal, and this human life is temporary, just like a movie, video game, or roller coaster.

humans are not independent of each other. if or not you reincarnate in the traditional sense, the pain you cause in this life is being dealt to an extended sense of 'you'.

Karma doesn't exist. It would not even make sense to exist because punishment or reward without knowledge is inefficient - and you can tell how inefficient it is by the growing amount of evil in the world. That would mean most are failing. Plus it's impossible not to gain bad karma even against your will or knowledge - idk you squash a bug or something

Question is: Are characters in a story that an author imagines guilty of a past sins in a different story, by the same or different author?
>>
>>42184312
It doesn't work like sins you faggors. Not everything should be viewed through the lens of christcucking. It's cosmic retribution because of an energy imbalance. There are three levels to retribution.
>Immediate retribution
Punch the nigga in the mouth or shoot them. It's settled immediately.
>Societal retribution
Go to court and jail. It's a further removed and abstracted form of retribution.
>Cosmic retribution
The furthest removed and most abstracted form of retribution when the other two fail. You will be viewed from a greater picture the same way you would view a character in a story who does bad things.
If a character does bad things in a story you want bad things to happen to them because there is an energy imbalance. Bad things will start to happen to them because of "random circumstances" and "accidents". When really there is cosmic energy pushing downward on them.
Trying to sneak out of it with technicalities and terms is very jewy. There is an energy debt and everyone can see it.

>cosmic retribution because of imbalance
nigga the universe is not in balance at all, it tends towards entropy and chaos. A volcano erupts or a star gets eaten up by a black hole, there is no ledge for that where the volcano or the black hole gets a baddie consequence. So why would the spiritual cosmos be so different when it's "as above so below"?
>>
>>42184376
Okay let someone shoot up your legs so you can't walk. Now try and say you don't want retribution because the universe is le entropy.
>>
>>42184396
nobody cares what i or you want. And the universe doesn't either. This wasn't about what we want, it's about what happens in this life or the next
>>
If there's no continuity of consciousness it isnt me and doesn't matter to me. This dismantles all supernatural religious beliefs relating to an afterlife. If I have no memory or no agentic capability then it doesn't matter in any way.
>>
>>42184402
That is where you are retarded. You have a hylic materialist viewpoint. What you said would only be true if the world was objective materialism, which it's not.
>>
>>42179140
I’m a hijabi and I look like this.
>>
>>42184419
no I don't. I just believe in a connection between the material and the spiritual world. There is no karma in the material world and I don't believe in one in the spiritual one either, but not because there's none in the material.

The type of "imbalance" you retardedly speak of can apply to "positive" imbalances as well.
>soul gits gud, upgrades in spirit and light, becomes purer
>oh no le imbalance, universe gotta tip it back and be moderate, make that pure soul a faggot again, like you
grossly synthesized

Why would the spiritual world or God/whatever higher power/intelligence even make it so?
>>
>>42179140
yeah well the problem is some of the ayss kinda hijacked our reinarnation system

There is karma in the material it's called court.
It's like saying you don't believe in the court system because you closed your eyes. Sure buddy.
>Why would the spiritual world or God/whatever higher power/intelligence even make it so?
Because the world is not objective like a video game. It's similar to being inside someone's mind, that is where you are.

>>42184908
>Why would the spiritual world or God/whatever higher power/intelligence even make it so?
Because God is a retarded tranny who created this world and forced me to exist as the sole frame of reference for it and only persistently real person in the world so that he can dominate and abuse me through everyone else in it so that he can define himself in opposition to me through the people he abuses me through
