Ahh, I see, so those in born tendencies can also be a result of past experience (memories), along with our own conditioning.

Would you say that karma affects these elements as well?

No.

I am deliberately differentiating karmic or conditioned experience from the tendencies or elements.

The tendencies (elements) are simply in-born drives.

For example, a child is born and has the tendency to want to eat food.

Such a tendency is not karmic. It is merely instinctual.

So, if we meditate, we may, for example, feel fear. Such fear generally arises because we are entering into a new sphere of experience.

Such fear is not 'karmic' because the situation in which it is arising we have never experienced before.

Kind regards
