Many Westerners are attracted to Eastern religions because they are intrigued by exotic and strange new ideas and they are disillusioned with Judaism/Christianity/Islam, which they find no longer credible. But while Eastern thought provides a number of ideas that constitute a considerable improvement over the teachings of the mainstream Western religions, it is permanently blighted by a truly Satanic concept - karma. In the West, the shameful slave trade represents, even to this day, an unanswerable indictment of the Christian capitalist values of the ruling order where their greed for profits was (and remains) much more important than people's lives and liberty. In the East, the fault would lie not with the evil masters, but with the slaves. They would be told that they were simply receiving their karmic due for their misdeeds in past existences. Imagine telling that to African Americans in relation to their enslaved ancestors. It would be an outrage. Slaves were victims of brutal oppression, not the authors of their own misfortune via wrongdoings in previous lives. Karma is one of the most triumphantly evil concepts ever introduced by the Demiurge. It's a shocking truth that a religion such as Hinduism, which has a number of good points, becomes one of the most hideous ideologies ever imposed on humanity as soon as karma enters the equation. The nauseating caste system, which Hindu apologists claim has nothing to do with Hinduism and is merely a "sociological" phenomenon, is in fact an inevitable product of the combination of power politics and the "karmic" mentality. As soon as the idea exists that misdeeds of the past determine someone's status in the present then it becomes all too easy to conclude that anyone suffering from any sort of misfortune in this life deserves everything they get. Slaves deserved their slavery, the Jews deserved being gassed in extermination camps, all the people who died in genocides were getting their payback for the crimes of their past lives, cancer victims deserve cancer, cripples deserve to be crippled and so on. This is an unpardonable Satanic ideology that encourages mistreatment of people and promotes injustice, inequality and bigotry, finally reducing some humans - the untouchables - to the status of pariahs fit only to clean toilets, eat rats and drink polluted river water. The only reason that Buddhism is not associated with caste is that it focuses on the individual rather than on society as a whole, thereby rendering itself of limited use to the ruling orders, who tend to ignore it. Yet several commentators have observed that the caste system is indeed practised in Buddhist countries such as Sri Lanka, Tibet and Japan where butchers, leather and metal workers and janitors are treated with disrespect and regarded as "impure". The Hindu caste system is even more sinister than the class system of the West (which serves a similar function) because it maintains that people bring their fate upon themselves through their past actions i.e. they are responsible for their own suffering. In the West, in the past, it was the "Will of God" that determined people's fate. Now the evils of karmic thinking are even spreading to the West. The Old World Order tacitly argue that they deserve to rule the world, and that the rest of us deserve to live permanently in their shadow, because they are so much more intelligent, hard-working and gifted than we are, so much more karmically deserving. I advocate meritocracy as the means to destroy class and caste systems. No one should prosper purely because of their social and family connections and no one should be penalised for being born into a deprived environment. A newborn baby is never guilty of anything. It is free of both original sin and accumulated karma. Christian capitalism: the rich are rich because God made them so. Hinduism: the rich are rich because Karma made them so. Gnosticism: the rich are rich because Satan made them so. So, which side are you on? Did the Wall Street gang become rich because of God, Karma or the Devil? Is excessive wealth in any way compatible with religious virtue, or is it the inevitable product of unashamed, selfish greed? It must be emphasised that Easterners, and a few Westerners who think they have a special relationship with Eastern thought, claim that Westerners don't understand karma. Don't let them fool you. Karma is not some baffling concept. It is the law of past deeds determining present outcomes. That's all that matters. What is baffling about karma is how tjat is it anyone on earth can take it seriously.
