Karma, the parts of the teachings that I will be discussing anyway, describe how the mind works with remarkable accuracy. This is important because as we improve our models to describe phenomena, we are able to create and predict outcomes more accurately. Newton's theory of gravity is simply a description of what already exists. Karma is a description of mental phenomena that already exist and have already been tested by science. The usefulness of the karmic teachings lies in their descriptive accuracy across a range of different mental phenomena. When applied in the service of achieving a goal, people can, therefore, achieve more reliable results in more situations than by using current models describing mental phenomena.
