The idea of pastlife karma effecting us in this life is one that
I don't like much, because the whole idea of reward/punishment
is that it must be quick and consistant. So, if this is nature's way
of having us learn "lessons" then it stinks. Being effected now for
things done in the long-forgotten past is pathological.

The idea of karma being LAW as you put it is, again, against my
grain. I can accept it only in an exoteric naive fashion. The problem
is this: you will never ever get out of karma the way it is usually
defined, and the way that you are defining it. If cause always
produces effect and vice versa, then liberation is impossible.
Well, I personally believe in liberation and that karma can
be consumed or eliminated. What makes this possible is
chaos, or the LAW of acausality.
