whatever,
/*\ Namaste :-}}
- remember, mind-body-subtle bodies-spirit (including soul) are all related and symbiotic
- Soul affects the person (body + Mind + spirit) just as the person affects the soul thru his\her Intentions, actions, reactions, etc
- remember too, Karma is not good or bad (those are culture-specific value judgements that, as we know, may vary a good bit)
- and, the effects that will manifest from our actions cannot be predicted
- some acts toward another that someone might feel are compassionate may have effects that turn out not so "compassionate" - and the Karma that I accrue will, at some point in the furture, reflect that
>:-}}
- even telling a lie may have some effects at some point that might be considered beneficial - and some effects also that are not so beneficial
- but Karma will manifest appropriately for all those effects
>:-}}
- some Karma we accrue may manifest in this life - but some will have to wait for the next life - and some Karma manifesting in this life we brought with us, so to speak, from previous lives
- and, we are also affected, though at different levels, by the Karma attached to our particular ethnic or racial Group, for example, with which we have "history"
- our Karma is a direct reflection of our "historical" pattern of dealing with everything and everyone in each life - our habits (which are not easily recognized or changed) - but when we see these and alter our 'non-comapssionate' habits and reduce "grasping and aversion" we resolve Karma
- hope this helps
