I don't see how this would work. Some form of Karma is just going to get you if you hurt other people. If you hurt others you are hurting yourself and surely this is not congruent with growth at all.

Demk, if you don't believe in karma, then there’s no problem. Let’s just assume for a second that there’s no such thing as all encompassing morality and that the universe simply doesn’t care. Try looking at things from the world view of a darkworker. We organisms are designed to prey on each other and there can never be any such thing universal goodness or peace. “Evil” is an essential part of this world. There must be winners and losers, it is simply inevitable. I know that this isn’t what you were taught and you probably don’t want to believe it; but just try seeing things from that view for just a moment.
As a “darkworker” I see all encompassing goodness as naiveté idealism. Other people are not us! Our human standards of morality are not the universe’s concern and humans made up good and evil to suit our own needs. Good and evil are a mass delusion, not real. The world is a cruel and imperfect place and to survive you must compete in the endless waltz of predator and victim. That’s just how it is. By accepting these dark realities we can use them to our advantage and even enjoy them .
Demk, if you truly want to understand the upside of being a darkworker then you must be able to slip on a pair of darkworker glasses, if only for a moment . If you are not willing to do this then you’re enquiry is pointless.
