With Karma, there is no "good" and "evil," per se. There is simply a mixture of negative and positive, and we need both types of energy to have balance. Now that balance, as we know within our own bodies, can be difficult to reach. If we have an illness or disease, we may have to take several different kinds of medications to eventually get the right one. It is the same with the "God body." Though in God's world, there isn't just one short lifetime like we are experiencing right now but rather eternity. God's body, the universe, is trying to achieve balance. That's how I look at Karma. Karma is God's way of treating disorder in his own body. Each of his cells, each of us, is trying to reach balance and wellness. Some of us cells work together to create balance and harmony in a whole area of God's body. Some work together to create further imbalance and disharmony. What it all boils down to, however, is simple balance. What is each individual cell responsible for? We are responsible for how we function. If we do not function properly, God isn't going to go to that "big surgeon in the sky" and have us whacked out and thrown into a lake of fiery torment for it. He will, however, try to help us heal and function properly within his body. He will medicate us, so to speak. We might not respond to the first treatment (the first life?) with complete healing. He may have to give us a different kind of treatment (a different life opportunity?) to see how well we respond to that. He has eternity to allow us to heal. In Gary Zukav's book Seat of the Soul, he said that everything we do will come back to us in exactly that way. If we lie to someone, we will be lied to. If we kill someone, there's a possibility we will also be killed. In Wicca and Paganism, not only do they believe that it comes back to us once, but three times! So, if we love, we receive love - possibly times three. If we are compassionate, we receive compassion. Almost every spiritual belief system in the world is based on the law of Karma, NOT on the fact that if we screw this
