I've been in the deepest, darkest, blackest, pit of hell, yet people (friends, acquaintances, etc) helped me out, and when I asked how can I repay you, they all said to pass it on. I try to, and I hope ya'll do too. Call it what you want, I believe it exitsts. You??

Karma is what the Pagans call the Law of Return. We get back whatever we put out. When we do nasty things, we eventually get hit back with nasty things. When we do good, something good eventually happens to us. It may not be immediate, but it always happens. Wiccans call it the Rule of Three, and believe whatever we do comes back threefold. I don't believe nature is counting. It just comes back, sometimes multiplied, sometimes not. Like Newton said, For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. You kick a dog, and later that dog -or another one- is going to bite you. You drop some cash in the Salvation Army kettle, and one day you might find yourself needing help and guess who just happens to offer that help? -Yup. That's Karma.

The concept of Karma can be explained by the scientific theory of the 'small world effect'.
The small world effect theory states that with an irregular network (like the way that people associate with each other, the way the brain wires itself or the power grid of the western united states) an action by one of these points will have an effect on the entire network, and that that effect will come back to the point that initiated it. It is called network resonance, since all points are affecting all other points at the same time.
So the smaller the group the larger and more immediate the effect, the larger the group the lesser and more delayed the effect. However since people decided (for the most part) their reactions, they can decide what effect they will put onto the network and therefore the tone of the 'resonance' on the network.
So in short, yes Karma does exist but it is not some mystical force out there making all thing right. Hope this helps.

I believe in it.
A person I know once kept a wallet that he found. It had exactly $92.00 in it.
A week later, he lost his own wallet - which contained over $200. It was eventually returned to him, with some money left inside. The spooky thing was, is that there was now only $108.00 left (exactly $92 less). He became an instant believer in karma as well

The frequency of energy that a person exhibits will be the exact same frequency of energy that they receive in return. Karma is but a delayed reflection to what it is you put out. It is the end result of the cause that creates the effect that returns the cause to its original source.

I used to know a really mean guy. Think of all the hate and evil in the world and cram it into a 23 year old guy. He has male pattern baldness. Almost every guy I know that's loosing their hair, has done something in their past that's not very nice or are just not very nice at all. Not saying it's a sure thing but I think it's pretty funny.

It's nothing more than one's instinctual reaction to what I call an individual's proxemics, better known as 'personal space'.
We all get 'vibes' from people, more from some than others, but
it has everything to do with our sense of smell, sight, touch, and hearing, not some 'special' ability to psychologically react with some mystical type of mindwave syndrome.
'Karma' is an imaginary state of mind created by those wishing to be part of some imaginary social group which possesses a psychological sixth sense mystique.
In fact, all 'karma' is an involuntary ability to react to emotions caused by our constantly working senses.
Get over it.

I do not believe in believing. Experience supersedes belief!
Karma is one of the Laws of Life.
"For every action there is an equal and exact reaction".

I think there might be something to it. It does not take a lot of extra work to go through life trying to do as much good as you can. When someone wants to repay me I tell them to "pass it on" to someone else.

its simple logic, if you spend your life screwing people over or being an ***...your gonna get f$%ed like one in the end, bad people never end up with a good reap in the end, and vice versa goes for good ppl. its just the way life works. believe in it or not.

I don't believe in Karma. I believe in irony and quinky-dinks and reaping what you sow (which is not the same thing as karma).
