Is there a such thing as "good karma"?

I think if you use that word Karma, then that word is already loaded with religious meanings. So when you ask Ra about Karma then you will get answers in those established contexts.

But to me I don't think Karma exists to be honest.....I mean in the way that is religiously taught. The most close natural law I could equate to that concept of karma is the law of attraction i.e. the deep rooted intention you send out and that intention coming back in the form of an experiences.

Yes, curiosity, care, identification is a form of attachment, a form of attraction thus a form of karma.

The understanding of the word "Karma" to some people, is influenced by each contextual environment.
To some who are influenced by the "Orionistic" punish and reward model, "karma" is understood as "punishment". Which then created an opinion that not all "Karma" is a form of punishment it can be a form of "reward" as well. As "Reward" (good) is the opposite concept of "Punishment" (bad).

I use again a game metaphor here.
When you developed a 'curiosity' for an experience inside a game or the result of a game, you created an 'inertia' that draws you / pull you back into experiencing the game. The one who is pulling you back into the game is none other than your own self. Your own curiosity, attachment, identification to something inside the game thus your karma in the game.

People 'respawning' again and again into a conflict game such as Call Of Duty due to that reason.
Will his 'spawning' into the game stopped the conflict inside the game?
No, as game such as Call Of Duty in essence is about experiencing a conflict.

Acceptance of such fact, that there will always be a conflict within Call Of Duty, plus the 'exhaustion' of experiencing the game, will resulted in one to let go of his 'inertia' to be drawn again and spawning himself into Call Of Duty.
In reality all players inside Call Of Duty, whatever side/team they're in, is serving the creator / developer of Call Of Duty.
But one day eventually all player will arrived at a point when he/she will stop his/her spawning into Call Of Duty.
The general answer on the reason when asked is usually "I'm tired playing this game".

Another good metaphor is the StarWars storyline, where Luke Skywalker arrived at a point that he feels exhausted of playing the Jedi vs Sith game and just want to 'end his experience'.
What remains / stay will be the 'memory of the experience'.

This explanation resonated with me. I hope that someone finds this useful.

Karma is karma. It is neither good or bad, it is always neutral. So is the Great Mystery, If we take it further, so is Ra. According to Buddhism, (and Zen in particular). At the state of total destruction, (before the recreation), it is a state of Absolute Nothingness. A good action does not make good karma. It simply restores some of the neutral state.

I AM CONFUSED?

You post something, and then it disappears into the VOID? What Sorcery is this?

Karma is Karma. It is nothing else. It always remains in the "Neutral State". Neither here, (or there). A good deed reduces the Karmic Implications, (but), it does not erase Karma. So, in all actions, (and inactions), there must always be caution so that it doesn't upset the balance. We are given what is due. However, the "God(s) of Karma" are wise God(s), and in the end, everything returns to its Natural State. I think people worry too much about Karma. If we live a normal life, and don't do anything extreme. Life remains in balance. So ends the discourse...

Peace.
