Do you believe karma is real

[Serenity]

I haven't read all the posts, my personal belief is that yes karma is real.

what's the point if we don't remember our previous lives?

u r ur past lives if u cant see them.

And if there wouldnt be karma it means there would b no spiritual law. Which isnt the case.

Life has not proven to me that karma is real, so me personally I do not believe in it - only that our actions have repercussions

ur last sentence basicly is the concept of karma...

Injustice always angers me...

it means u practice that exact concept in some sort of way. Otherwise it wouldnt anger u.

Source is clear, karma disappears as quickly you learn the lesson, and don't repeat the negativity. Only if you don't learn and keep doing the negative, till follow you until you've learnt the lesson, but apart from that there is nothing and NOONE punishing you.

I used to but personally these days I now believe in more so Law of Attraction. How does karma carrying over from past lives make sense if we can't even remember those past lives to help us learn and grow from past wrongs we may have done? Sounds like a cruel game to me. To me like attracts like. I think karma was a man made concept and people say things like "Karma is a (censored)" to try to make themselves feel better and give themselves a feeling that the universe will carry out justice when sometimes it is just better to focus on moving on and letting go. The universe doesn't judge. God doesn't judge. Existence just is. It's all a matter of our perception on what good and bad is.

It's simple really. The person you are today, and where you are, and what you do, and those who around you, and your health, race, beliefs and everything else is the total result of your thoughts, words and deeds through all the eras of evolution which have ended up in the Now.

Your future climb through the eons of transcending new levels and new dimensions is your responsibility. We'll all get there in the end but some will be quicker than others. (if there is indeed an end). It may go on eternally.

for you to seek to be a cause of 'retribution energy' would only serve

which will make it's way back to you when you find yourself in need
of it -- without fail -- via the immutable law of karma.

Karma is the law of cause and effect. It is far less mystical than people often think. One is texting while driving and gets into a car crash. One is rude to their boss on a consistent basis and gets fired. You fall and break your leg. You study hard and get an A. Karma.

Karma is real, it is something you sign up for. One can also opt out if they wish. People in the Karma cycle seem to want to be there.

Speculation: My best guess is that they want everyone to get what they 'deserve' (yeah, sounds very ego based).

I don't believe in karma the way it is presented, or commonly spoken of. I do believe that there is a plan, and everything happens for a reason.

If I were harmed by someone then I would want justice and I would make it happen in some way. I would work behind the scenes if the infraction is serious.

We all have guidance and we all have our protectors and defenders which fall under the umbrella of guidance, they might strike back. Things happen.

I wouldn't call that karma. That is like if someone is bullying your little sister, you will take steps. That is the same idea. Our guides are our spiritual family and they will defend us.

That is how I perceive it. That isn't karma but some people might see it that way.

When you do something ethically/morally wrong, it makes it more difficult to face yourself because your conscience will put it up in your face. In this way, the bad deed causes us to be less self aware and conscious. This contributes to separation within yourself. The greater the separation in ones consciousness when we die, the worse the rebirth. Thats how I see it anyway.
