i agree that the mechanics are in place, like a template for potential experiential manifestation as it were. i just don't believe that it must manifest or be expressed absolutely and in all cases. our experiences are definitely tied to or influenced by our actions, but karma, at least in my understanding, creates a link of chains where i see something more like a bow knot. i feel that with proper understanding/proactive application of one's self, intentions, feelings, desires etc, the knot can be undone and the karmic deficit immediately overcome.

i guess this sense arises mostly from my conception of a nonlinear existence, because karma is absolutely linear. i feel that our life's influences act in a quantum state from which the whole can be rearranged moment to moment if the proper application is realized (i.e. the cat can change from alive to dead, dead to alive, alive to dead. . . etc). thus karma is rendered not invalid, but ineffectual in its supposed absoluteness. just imo of course.
