Student:  Yes, it could lead to being afraid to think anything new, or step out the door.  Yet there seems to be whole countries whose [[social]] [[systems]] are based on that kind of [[thinking]], that phony kind of [[Karma]].  Everything that happens to people, they somehow deserved it, so if they’re born into some lower [[caste]], then that’s their due, and they always have to be that.  [[Imagine]] the [[Tyranny|oppressiveness]] of that.  It seems the notions of [[Karma]], or [[reincarnation]], or [[original sin]], are just man’s attempts to come to grips with their own sense of [[evil]]--why that happens to people.  It’s because of original sin, or something they did five lifetimes ago.  It just seems absurd.  It’s not taking into account what you mentioned about the real complexity of reality and how there’s something new and different in each event.

NEBADONIA:  Yes.  Although not perfectly--that would be another arrogance--there is a [[relatively]] valid way to see oneself reflected in the mirror, the [[feedback]] you get from interacting with ever-changing [[objective]] [[reality]].  Yet so many are unaware of how their own [[attitude]], their own [[values]] and [[judgments]] are [[color]]ing everything that comes to them.  We mentioned one time about how, if you’re cheerful and walking down a city sidewalk, most everybody is looking to catch a little bit of your [[energy]], and smiling back.  Whereas if you’re feeling down and in a mean, grumpy [[mood]], people can sense this and react to it so [[Immediate|instantaneously]], closing down in self-[[defense]], you’ll be getting your own [[expression]] thrown back at you.  If you’re not aware of these very subtle human [[connections]], you’ll end up all the more down and grumpy, blaming all those out there for your situation.  You’ll have lost the initiative to turn things around.
