What's this business of one hand clapping, anyway?

[Mark Kohut]

If there is 'the return of the repressed' to get back one's psychic equilibrium, 

can there be the return of the morally-lost, sometimes? 

Can overwhelming guilt lead to karmic adjustment perforce?

Is karma also, perhaps, a metaphor for the cleansing by doing penance (in TRP, 
we are speaking)?

My opinion is that karma is just the gross weight one picks up that keeps one on 

the wheel of birth and rebirth. Perhaps see the Bardo Thodol (Tibetan Book of 
the Dead) or ask a Zen guy or girl and get laughed at.
