In psychology, there are a number of proven phenomena and effects that can be called karma with a stretch.
But it is worth emphasizing that the appearance of phenomena is a conscious or unconscious action of the person himself. Not the higher powers.
Let's say he feels guilty that he framed a colleague at work(even if only he perceives it as a setup), and without noticing it, he breaks his project in a place where it would simply not be possible to disrupt it in normal circumstances, and accordingly receives punishment from the management.
Thus, his guilt goes away.
And he explains the failure of the project as a balance of power and what he did wrong and got punished.
I see it this way.
You can't prove it. And it is impossible to refute it. That is why the doctrine of karma is among the marginal and esoteric, and is not taken seriously by scientists.�
I kicked a kitten – my wallet was stolen. Someone will say “karma”. And where is the connection? There is no connection.
I stole my phone, sold it at the market , and got pneumonia. “Karma”? And if it doesn't? How do I prove it? No way.
As a child, I offended a classmate – I had a stroke in my old age. Well, of course karma! Just a little late, isn't it?
That is, karma is in no way a cause-and-effect relationship and responsibility for one's actions. This is a mystical-religious-esoteric teaching, based on the ability of people to attract by the ears and see a connection where there is none. Well, on the feeling of guilt. You can prove what you can refute. Is it possible to refute that event B is a karmic response to event A? Must not. There are no objective criteria. And it can't be in principle.
You can look at the situation from a different angle. You made a person feel bad, he's in a bad mood made someone else feel bad too, and so on along the chain until she stumbles on you. This view has many conventions and contradictions. Suddenly someone will not continue this chain and it will stop before reaching you, and if you harm, for example, a dog, will it take revenge? And so it is with good deeds.
But whether there is karma or not, you can decide for yourself!
Yes, it exists! In Hindus karma, Slavs SOUL. This is an accumulation of deeds. No one can influence it! No one on earth! these are technologies of 7-10 millennia. You can prove it, but you can't verify it. What happens to the soul=karma in Ezra 2. ch. 7.
That's when you work hard honestly and conscientiously, and they always try to throw you for money, regardless of the result of your work, you think about karma, when you believe in love, and you are constantly deceived, you think about karma, when you didn't steal anything in your life, and you are robbed, too. A person comes to faith when he does everything the same as everyone else, even better, and the result is consistently negative, the logical chains in the brain are broken, in order not to go crazy, you need to understand. This knowledge exceeds the time of one lifetime, covers a long period of the soul's life.
I will answer on the rights of a person who is slightly interested in Indian philosophy and religion. In my opinion, the idea of karma contains almost nothing mystical. This is simply the principle of causality, which is also characteristic of our worldview, formulated by people of a different culture and in other words. Every event has its cause, every action has its consequences, that's all karma. The only supernatural thesis here is that in this life we can experience the consequences of our past lives, but this already lies not only in the plane of the idea of karma, but also in the plane of the idea of reincarnation. Also characteristic of the Indian worldview is the idea that karma is a limiting factor for the initially free spirit, and this limitation should be overcome by certain practices. But this is not about what karma is, but about what to do with it. Thus, I repeat, there is almost nothing mystical or supernatural about the very idea of karma, and there is not much to prove. As Comrade Butusov sang,”…if you walk on a muddy road, you can't help but get your feet dirty.”
It is quite possible if you are ready to describe every day during your life every event that happens to you, and every act you do. Then, at the end of your life, you can analyze your records and find connections between actions and events(submitted to a homeless person => received an award at work)
If it's so important to you…
Go for it.
