Only if you see karma as a moral force rather than the logical 
consequence of your decisions. If you lose money in the stock 
market, that is a logical consequence of a decision but not the 
consequence of immorality. Much as I would like to believe in the 
Santa Claus theory of karma, I am confronted by the fact that people 
who are downright despicable get most of the goodies in this world. 
That said, if you go to a bad doctor, you and not he pay for the 
consequences.

Sure. I have no idea wherher he is right or not, and have been 
searchinbg for some way to determine that. Regrettably, most of what 
people are teaching about this stuff cannot be proved in any 
satisfactory manner.
