The rules of Karma?

If a person is experiencing bad karma due to their past, how do they reverse it, make it good again, and how long does it take?

Example: if you have done bad for a year, do you need to do good for a year as well to fix it?

Any guesses at the rules of karma?

Thank you, but I purposely put it here to avoid religious bias.

chaney3,

My Father told two things you should try and stay away from is talk about Religion or Politics. It is a no win situation. People will always believe what they are going to believe, not matter what argument is presented.

Hey Rusty,

I can't say that I view karma as religion, and in case some believe karma is a real thing, I was curious about the 'rules'.

Don't believe in bad karma dude. No point wallowing in the past, make a positive change for the future.

I was simply curious about those who believe in karma, and the rules.

This thread has gotten off to an awful start, lol.

If you're talking proper Hindu karma, then I think it only really takes effect when one life ends and another one begins. (In other words, karma is part of the reincarnation process).

Does that mean the new life can begin immediately with bad karma, based on the previous lifestyle?

Seems harsh?

Yes.

Reincarnation is the rebirth of the 'same soul' as it makes it's journey towards enlightenment. Therefore it is the same soul paying the price for bad karma it accrued in the previous life.

That's justice baby.
