Well said.

I do believe that The Buddha did try to show us the True Way to escape the wheel of karma, yet it was through the practice of karma that we may end the cycle of re-birth. Our awareness of the world and our impact sets the wheel and karma in motion. Awareness of self is the greatest tool we have in this world to keep us closer to achieving release from the wheel.

The "guilt" is a debt that must be re-paid in the future, the greater the g"guilt" the greater the pay-back. And should one be aware of the "guilt" then one should seek a way to "balance the books" so to speak.

ooo can I smell it?

Karma, in my understanding, yes, holds us to the wheel of re-birth, and also keeps the wheel from becoming too burdened with either negative or positive energies which would upset the balance of the universe.

karma-the great balance beam! Each action thought or inaction is weighed and we are given the benefit or negative for our pleasure.
Can we have only one go around on this life wheel and be expected to get all of it right the first try? I don't think so. We each are given the chance to "clear the slate" of the past transgressions, each coming back into our lives often with the same people and nearly exact circumstances. How we decide each one and the out-come sets the stage for the next one.
Does this mean we are bound to repeat each "mistake" in our wheel? This depends on how it impacted others. The greater the impact, the more likely we will re-encounter the same again; either in the now existence, or in the next.

I, too, must call this a night. to all
