Good and evil are not properties of matter, they are projections we attach to perceived stimuli.

The aura, karma, penache people have, is in fact becoming a reality in science.

Electromagnetic fields don't support those concepts in any way.

Additionally, the New Age version of karma and the Buddhist version of karma are very different things.
