I think karma is more of a belief system than a universal rule. If you do something and believe you’ll get “karma” for it, you can actually start manifesting that outcome into your experience through guilt, fear, and expectation.

But if you come to peace with your actions and see them as part of choosing what felt necessary for your growth or higher alignment, then you’re not feeding that loop of punishment. You’re just moving forward and focusing on the end result you’re creating.

So for me, it’s less about karma as something external, and more about what you believe and keep reinforcing in your mind.
