I don't know if I agree, or not, since I'd need more of his

stuff/works to study and model.

 

....but...

 

Karma is NOT about any installation of guilt...

 

Karma is NOT about any installation of shame...

 

....though, many people that have not yet researched that term, tend

to think of Karma in the breath as they think about " guilt &

shame " ...

 

....shame on them!

 

....and, the anger that came the last time I posted about

reincarnation on this group was LARGE & FUNNY to behold...

 

....and I've let that though dwindle until someone else asked a

question on it, so that it could be " on-topic " ...

 

....so, instead of going over any of that anger again, let me refer

you to a source (several actually, and if you want more, let me know)

of wisdom on that subject that you can read at your leisure, or just

ignore...totally your choice...
