>>KARMA IS JUST AS TIMELESS AS THE CAUSELESS CAUSE AND THE ABSOLUTENESS.
 BUT I CAN ONLY
CONJECTURE ABOUT THIS, AND CANNOT PROVE IT TO ANYONE BUT MYSELF.>>

I have to disagree. Cause and effect, by definition,
requires time, just like evolution requires time. Karma
can't exist outside of time unless you can define it
some other way. HPB defines it as causality, which
is time-dependent. Karma is not timeless, but it is
eternal. How? Because HPB defines eternity as
the length of a manvantara and I agree that karma
endures throughout the manvantara.
