Bill!:
You're gonna ignore the math? I thought you said you were looking for an
impersonal language a couple posts ago... :D
The thing about using math that way is that eventually it leads you back to the
beginning. We use mathematics as an expression of the model, then we use the
model as an expression of the math. Then we realize that both are models of
each other and the same, and experience encompasses all -- no need for anything
else. Rivers and mountains become rivers and mountains again!

I'll ignore all the math but do agree that JUST IF there is
such a think that could be called 'karma' it's not so much a
moralistic cause-and-effect as it is an intrinsic quality of
the act itself.
But, I'll continue to poo-poo all claims of karma.

different. The equal-sign is the present.
