I have some trouble understanding the law of karma, and I'd be extremely euphoric if someone could answer these questions.

If I have understood the law correctly karma affects also in the next life. eg. Saint becomes extremely rich etc. So when I die as a saint what makes my "soul" pick up the rich kid's brain? And as I was a saint And my childhood will be great, how does whoever makes my "soul" pick up the rich kid knows this kid will have a great childhood? That means law of karma demands determinism?

But if I surfed to totse once and in my next life I get stabbed with a knife in this life. What makes the knife man hit me? If I was supposed to be stabbed then it was necessary that the man stabbed me and my bad karma made him have more bad karma? Would he have stabbed me without me having bad karma? So does my bad karma affect somebody else's mind? Was the guy I reborned to predestined to be stabbed already when he born because I (or should I say some other) surfed to totse in other life?

But what if everybody are saints in the world and nobody's gointo stab me. Then I get hurt in a storm caused by karma. Again I was predestined to get hurt.

One thing I don't understand in law of karma is how come it affect after I die?

The atom-movement I caused in my life at Cuba aren't even near in my current life at eg Spain. So I move block 1 in my current life. It hits block 2. Suddently I die! I reborn near block 3 that isn't even near block 2, but still block 3 is moving because block 2 was moved.

I don't get it. (No quantum theories here http://www.totse.com/bbs/smile.gif)

I'd really like to understand the law of karma, and I'm sure there's someone to answer these.

As with most religious systems, it's supposed to whip you into a good person with fear of your afterlife being a 'hell'. Understand that if you realize a human construct as a human construct, you transcend it and no longer play by those rules. The only definite rule in this world is that every action has an effect. If one action is 'evil', that doesn't mean that something evil is destined to be returned upon you...it just means you did somethign that someone else didn't like. It's your life, and you get to make your own choices.

The original law of kharma, in Hinduism was that you'd be reborn in a higher Jati. If you were a farmer, and fulfilled your dharma (cosmic duty), then in your next life you'd be born a little better off. It was supposed to balance out a lack of social mobility.
