People that see karma as a punishment mechanism are most likely only projecting their own relationship with it, which mirrors their own relationship with themselves. If for their mistakes they believe they deserve to be punished, then they will experience exactly that as a mean to teach them to forgive themselves. If on the other hand they believed that there are no mistakes, forgave themselves and accepted what was, then there would be no need for any catalyst. Karma is a teaching tool that serves to bring you into alignment with yourself. The tensions of your life that are manifested originate from within yourself.
An important quote on forgiveness in the material says that forgiveness of other-selves always includes the self. The things we disaprove of within others are always about misunderstood and unaccepted portions of ourselves for which we lack love. So when people wish punitive karma for others, it is much like they are simply calling out for their own catalysts, proclaiming out loud their own state of imbalance. Anger and other such emotions beget nothing more than that, only forgiveness can break the cycle into something other.
It is not for nothing that the STO path is the path of acceptance. Karma, like all things, can only be fully understood through the lenses of the Law of One. Would it make any sense if the One Infinite Creator could never be brought into alignment with Itself? To never come to accept and love Itself? To remain eternally stuck in a state of tension without salvation? No, it does not. There are no mistakes, only the perfect reflection of what we are. As such we should strive to love the world in all its ways, as it truly is nothing less and nothing more than exactly you.
