We all (hopefully) look to the potential results of our (major) actions prior to acting out. Out actions in this life have consequences for ourselves and others in this life. Thats karma, IMO. There are additional dimensions that MAY be also karma. But belief or certainty about them is not essential for the belief about the above. Another layer, not essential to the first paragraph, is to speculate that the results of our actions don't die when the body does. If you save, invest wisely, it effects your life. But also those in your will. An effect after your life. Another speculation, not essential to the first paragraph, is parallel to Conservation of Energy. Energy and matter are note created or destroyed, they simply go through various transformation. The stoichiometric (ah what an interesting sounding word) equations can show the path of the same thing from here to there. Thus, acknowledging there is some mental / emotive energy "in me", its not implausible for me to speculate that this internal energy is not destroyed at the death of the body, but is transformed into other equivalent forms. Thus that my actions in this life might effect that inner energy mass "inside of me" after the body goes, is not a zero probability. IMO.
