# karma.monster — What You Give, You Receive

Karma is not punishment. It is the universe's memory — an infinite accounting of every seed you plant, every word you speak, every intention you hold.

## Three Pillars of Karmic Truth

- **Cause & Effect.** Every action, thought, and intention sets a ripple in motion. The universe is a perfect mirror — it reflects back precisely what you emit, without exception.
- **Eternal Cycles.** Karma moves in spirals, not straight lines. Lessons return in new forms until they are truly learned. Repetition is the universe's invitation to grow.
- **Present Moment.** The only karma you can shape is the one you create right now. Every moment is a crossroads — a chance to redirect your trajectory toward healing and expansion.

> "The man who does ill must suffer ill." — Aeschylus, 525–456 BCE

## Karma Across Traditions

- **Hinduism.** Karma as the cosmic law governing rebirth and dharma across infinite lifetimes.
- **Buddhism.** Intentional action as the seed of future experience on the path to liberation.
- **Jainism.** Karma as fine matter that attaches to the soul and must be shed through right living.
- **Stoicism.** The logos ensures every cause produces its natural effect — virtue is its own reward.
- **Hermeticism.** Cause and effect as one of the Seven Hermetic Principles governing all planes.
