Because it avoids the moral dimension and situates responsibility with the thoughts and actions of an individual, this version of karma is not karma in the classic sense and deserves a different name. I call it processual karma, in contrast to juridical karma. Processual karma entails the carrying over from life to life of memory, emotions, behavioral dispositions, and other attributes that inform personality. Processual karma may involve self-judgment, but it derives from a force internal rather than external to the actor.
