Without dualism, karma and rebirth are hard to justify.
the consequences of actions (karma) are those actions being reborn again. for example, we make a mistake, we get angy at ourself, we have regret, etc. this is the memory of that karma being reborn over & over & over again in our regrets & self-condemnation. how is this psychological process related to 'dualism'?



According to opponent-process theory, drug addiction is the result of an emotional pairing of pleasure and the emotional symptoms associated with withdrawal. At the beginning of drug or any substance use, there are high levels of pleasure and low levels of withdrawal. Over time, however, as the levels of pleasure from using the drug decrease, the levels of withdrawal symptoms increase, thus providing motivation to keep using the drug despite a lack of pleasure from it.
