I could speculate endlessly about my kamma in imagined past or future lives - but its all tied up in personality belief, creating and solidifying "my" identity.

Yes Aloka. Seems that the believe in rebirth/reincarnation and Karma as its fuel is grounded in the need of "something" to endure: from the coarse self for reincarnation to a kind of "ether" for rebirth. It is the special charm New Age spirituality has. The promise of something that endures.

The teachings of Buddha are not so appealing, maybe, because its practice is about the letting go -this sort of post modern- greed, crave and the wandering of mind -endlessly looking for more- which is stressed in a civilization governed by such mind poisons.

People still needs to have and accumulate... and in a highly technological society, believes are very appealing now.
