Karma

Karma, the Law of CausalityKarma is a part of the law of causation. It is Moral part of Causation.  The theory of Karma is a fundamental doctrine in Buddhism. This belief was already widespread in India before the  Buddhist religious culture emerged. However, it is said that is was Buddha who explained and formulated the doctrines of today's Buddhism.

The Karma that has been logged due to mining Gas for great profit at the risk of the water carries immense Karma.  Here Mobil use a mythical creature Pegasus  to describe that Petrol and Gas are us.

Dharma, karma and punarjanma: the triad laws of righteousness, causality and reincarnation form the central tenets of Sanatana Dharma. Of the three, karma has received much focus among Hindus over the millennia for it has been used (and abused) to justify the human condition. Based on the Hindu understanding of karma, all of ones experiences past, present or future are shaped by our own karmic matter.   Shastras

This Principle embodies the fact that there is a Cause for every Effect; an Effect from every Cause. It explains that: “Everything Happens according to Law”; that nothing ever “merely happens”; that there is no such thing as Chance; that while there are various planes of Cause and Effect, the higher dominating the lower planes, still nothing ever entirely escapes the Law. The Hermetists understand the art and methods of rising above the ordinary plane of Cause and Effect, to a certain degree, and by mentally rising to a higher plane they become Causers instead of Effects. The masses of people are carried along, obedient to environment; the wills and desires of others stronger than themselves; heredity; suggestion; and other outward causes moving them about like pawns on the Chessboard of Life. But the Masters, rising to the plane above, dominate their moods, characters, qualities, and powers, as well as the environment surrounding them, and become Movers instead of pawns. They help to PLAY THE GAME OF LIFE, instead of being played and moved about by other wills and environment. They USE the Principle instead of being its tools. The Masters obey the Causation of the higher planes, but they help to RULE on their own plane. In this statement there is condensed a wealth of Hermetic knowledge–let him read who can.

How do I see Karma?  I am not a Hindu or a Buddhist.  I see the moral causation theory as a part of the Natural law of Cause and Effect. 

  Principle of Cause and Effect is the SIXTH NATURAL LAW

The Principle of Cause and Effect explains that there is a cause for every effect, and an effect for every cause. It also states that there is no such thing as chance, that chance is merely a term indicating extant causes not recognized or perceived. The Principle is clarified in the chapter Causation.
