Thanks for commenting, Ariel Bravy.

Well, I think Karma is the law of moral causation. Questions like:

what is the cause of the inequality that exists among mankind?
why should one person be a mental genius, and another foolish?
why should some be linguistic, artistic, mathematically inclined, or musical from the very tender ages?
why should some be "blessed", and others "cursed" from their births? ( by this I mean cogenitally blind, deaf, deformed in any way)

Either this all is purely accidental or it has a cause. It having a cause defines the whole cycle of Karma. Some of it could be heridetary, environmental, or so but eventually it also comprises Karma. I am sure we both agree till this point. In other words, it is the result of our own past actions and our own present doings. We ourselves are responsible for our own happiness and misery. We create our own Heaven. We create our own Hell. We are the architects of our own fate. In this way, karma is indeed similar to LOA. But, I wonder what happens to the Karma earned in the previous lifetime which is gonna be spent in this lifetime? How will then, the current goals carried out via LOA come through when it clashes with Karmic debt. We can attract all the great/good things via LOA (materialistic and otherwise). That may encounter for Karma in this lifetime, sure. Coz in the end they are deeds, done by us using LOA or not. But what about the past lifetimes? Rather what about the past years of this lifetime? Is it like saying that just because I bumped into LOA a couple yrs ago, I gained unwanted KArma unknowingly all the while before that....? That way the cycle will always repeat unless I know to use LOA to earn "good" karma in every coming lifetime. Spooky!
