Un-conjecturable
"There are these four un-conjecturables that are not to be conjectured about, that would bring madness and vexation to anyone who conjectured about them. Which four?
"The Buddha-range of the Buddha’s (i.e., the range of powers a Buddha develops as a result of becoming a Buddha) is an un-conjecturable that is not to be conjectured about, that would bring madness and vexation to anyone who conjectured about it.
"The jhana-range of a person in jhana (i.e., the range of powers that one may obtain while absorbed in jhana)...
"The precise working out of the results of kamma...
"Conjecture about the origin, (etc.,) of the world is an un-conjecturable that is not to be conjectured about, that would bring madness and vexation to anyone who conjectured about it.
"These are the four un-conjecturables that are not to be conjectured about, that would bring madness and vexation to anyone who conjectured about them."

There's no real way to tell if your karma is good or bad but right now, mine is GREAT!
I just found out that a person that stole lots of money from me got hit by a car and it broke an arm, a leg and several ribs. Sucks to be her.

Karma is dynamic. It might change in a few seconds. Just by breathing you are altering your karma.
To have an idea of how much your karma is which you can use usefully, you need to be at a spiritually advanced level. You need to advance spiritually to reach a level when you can perceive subtle phenomena.

karma can't be quantified
you can't pay back for bad deeds
all you can do is live well here and now and let everything work itself out

I don't believe in Karma, it is a new age teaching that is becoming popular in the west.

the Scientologists have that all figured out.
Really, I trust their methodology as much as I trust your jibberish about karma.
