More of a karmic debt? Or actually credit??
That does seem true - reap what you sow, what goes around, comes around, etc! It's hard to break the idea of payback in some form. Some "reason" to do the right thing whether it is immediate or after death. I intellectually believe in doing the right thing regardless, but the idea of some form of payback is powerful.
What do you think???
Of course, sometimes, the phrase, "no good deed goes unpunished" seems to hold true too!

Hi Cynthia,
Yes it seems so.....
Perhaps, in a spiritual sense the give and receive is connected as one and the same. It seems to me the reaping is in fact created at the time of the sowing or receiving created in the same instant as the giving yet it appears or manifests in our conceptual concept of time and therefor is sometimes difficult to connect intellectually. Nevertheless, it seems to me karma is embodied as an innate fuction of mind and manifests as the physical body/mind in this existence.
Just a thought to consider...
Love and Peace,
JM
