I thought we were discussing spiritual consequences and not consequences per se.
I am not going to argue that our individual intentions have little effect on the physical. It takes the law of squares to properly affect the physical with your intent.
If you are alone believing that a poison will not affect you, that probably won't work to protect your physical body. The poison will have zero impact on your soul though. If billions of people believe the poison will not have a negative effect then even on the physical it probably won't.
I am saying that intent and awareness is all important when it comes to personal spiritual consequences.
Regarding Karma, I believe that yes we can acquire some even if unaware of the consequences but it's not much. It's a question of your sphere of influence. Your actions that affects what is outside your sphere have much less impact on Karma than what is directly within your sphere of influence. Like paying my income taxes will be used by the army to kill people. I will get a tiny amount of Karma for this, but being the one pulling the trigger will have a much bigger impact.
