New Age Karma

The idea of karma in the west through the work of the Theosophical Society. Kardecist and Western New Age reinterpretations of karma frequently cast it as a sort of luck, which is associated with virtue: if one does good or spiritually valuable acts, one deserves and can expect good luck; contrariwise, if one does harmful things, one can expect bad luck or unfortunate happenings. In this conception, karma is the Neopagan law of return or Threefold Law, the idea that the beneficial or harmful effects one has on the world will return to oneself. Health, Relationships, Abilities, Genius, Free Will, Opportunities Sickness or afflictions attributed to misdeeds in the past, as well as merits, fortunes, etc. to meritorious works, etc. Karma affects the quality of relationships. For example, people who either love or hate each other tend to attract each other (See also Parabadha Karma). Karma dictates that an individual is responsible for his current situation and future situation. Current abilities, talents and inclinations can attribute to past development of these talents or involvement with the same (See also Sanchita Karma and Samskara). In this context, DNA and genes only accommodate and do not determine talents and abilities. In other words you can develop more talents and abilities. Karma however is not a rigid iron-cast system. E.g. Accidents happen outside the workings of karma and free will is a powerful factor in determining the course of life. A person must also exercise his free will in determining his destiny despite karmic factors. Karma also dictates that opportunities depend on how one deal with what one has. I.e. take advantage of what is already available at hand.
