Since we are taught that forgiveness restarts the karmic clock and ends in your shirt of repeating lessons I myself in my custom spirituality plus what I have learned from the law of one consider myself a religious spiritual scientist now when I looked at forgiveness and Karma through just my scientific perceptions and I leave out my religious and spiritual understanding what I see is that the only thing that changes after forgiveness is my negative emotional attachments I’ve been removed this leads me to the assumption that it is negative emotion that is karma itself and to experience the emotion is the repeating of the lesson over and over at any time at any second without changing anything in the physical reality without any reincarnation at all
Also if there is no negative emotional attachment and the memory is brought up we would not see it as a karmic lesson but more of a book that you would rather reread then contemplate rewriting at all what I’m saying is once there is no negative attachment there is no lesson repeating even if the memory is repeated over and over again it is repeated as a monotone emotional value or it is repeated as a positive emotional value
