Intertwined Phenomena of Aura and Karma

Based on the presented materials, one can respond as follows:

Aura is a phenomenon that can be defined in various ways depending on the context. According to the description in the medical dictionary ( link txt), the so-called “epileptic aura” (a prelude to a seizure) is characterized as motor, sensory, autonomic, or psychic phenomena with which a seizure begins, and the patient retains a memory of them. It is noted that the manifestations of aura are very diverse: they may include, for example, a change in the perceived color of surrounding objects, feelings of anxiety, unpleasant sensations in the stomach, as well as phenomena such as déjà vu and jamais vu. Thus, in the medical context, aura represents a series of symptoms that arise immediately before a neurological event, varying according to the part of the brain involved.

Regarding the concept of karma and its connection to the law of cause and effect, the fundamental ideas of Indian philosophy provide a clear explanation. In a source related to Indian philosophy ( link txt), karma is defined as the “individual’s story” governed by strict causality, where every action—whether physical, verbal, or mental—determines not only the qualitative but also the “quantitative” aspects of one’s current life. In other words, every action generates consequences, and past deeds have a direct influence on a person’s current state. Additionally, in a source connected to Tibetan Lamaism ( link txt), karma is defined as “any action motivated by desires,” which underscores the concept of causality: every desired action causes future events.

Thus, aura is described as a set of diverse sensations and phenomena arising under certain physiological conditions, while the concept of karma is closely linked to the idea that every action has consequences, defining the course of life through the inevitable connection of cause and effect.

"Thus the so-called ‘epileptic aura’ (a prelude to a seizure) – are motor, sensory, autonomic, or psychic phenomena with which the seizure begins and of which the patient retains a memory. For example, before a seizure the patient sees surrounding objects in blue, feels trembling in the body, or senses certain smells, etc. The manifestations of aura are very diverse and depend on the location of the brain area whose function is impaired. These may include: increased body temperature, a feeling of anxiety and restlessness, sound, strange taste, smell, altered visual perception, unpleasant sensations in the stomach, dizziness, states of ‘already seen’ (déjà vu) or ‘never seen’ (jamais vu), a sense of inner bliss or sorrow, and other sensations."

"Teachings on karma (from Sanskrit karma, Pali kamma – ‘ritual’, ‘action’, ‘deed’) are one of the foundational concepts of Indian thought, defining decisive cosmological, anthropological, and soteriological paradigms across all Indian religions and philosophical systems, and shaping the specifics of pan-Indian socio-ethical views. With the spread of Buddhism beyond India, it became a crucial component in the worldviews of texts from Central and Southeast Asia and the Far East, and from modern times, through the scientific acquaintance with Indian religions and philosophies, it has firmly entered European culture. The concept of karma is identified primarily with the so-called law of karma, according to which the “individual's story” is subject to a strict determination of cause and effect, which governs both the qualitative and ‘quantitative’ characteristics of an individual’s present life based on previous physical, verbal, and mental actions."

"A sage responded that it was too late: the curse had begun to take effect, and it could not be stopped – the king would lose his throne, but the sage would strive to preserve life for him and his descendants. The founder of Tibetan Lamaism, Padmasambhava, taught: ‘The conditions of our lives entirely depend on our past lives, and nothing can be done to change anything!’

So, what is this inexorable karma?
Karma can be defined in several ways. The most accurate (in other words, the one most precisely expressing the meaning of Indian philosophy) is as follows: ‘Karma is any action motivated by desires.’" (source: link txt)
