If it is your karma to confabulate stories about karma, then that is
your karma. Falling is also an aspect of karma.

Like the term 'spiritualty' it has been subjected to many religious
distortions.

It always used to amaze me that people can learn the 'physics of
karma', being laws of cause and effect, and yet could not apply the
same laws to their own situation. As I said, that used to be the case.
(It no longer amazes me.)

And , inspite of being bombarded by all maner of religious
interpretations, re eye for an eye, as ye sow, the sins of the fathers
(how much easier it is to demonstrate the principle of that particular
on with the understanding of the dna coding) with similar references
from every religion that has existed.

Even the materialist culture has embraced the principle of 'no free
lunch', or at leas those who dont have the karma of not yet
understanding that one.(heavy indeed).

If you wanted to set up your own world, and populate it, wouldnt you
introduce a 'natural law' that fascilitated a system by which, people
learned by the results of their own actions? Not of course, if you
were on a power trip, where you wanted worship and adulation, perhaps
like Rolex , the god of time (couldnt resist).
