The explanation of karma given at around 31:00 seems egocentric - if you do good stuff good stuff happens to YOU. I'd say that there an absolute goodness to which you have to attend by good actions available to a human. There are the consequences if you don't or do attend to this Absolute Goodness with good acts. In case you didn't notice it is Christianity.
I've never understood how GS could teach that there's no Atman (soul), and yet taught reincarnation. What transmigrates, if not the Atman? Also, if nibbanna is the total extinguishing of the illusion of self, isn't annihilation of all awareness the result? Isn't this likely to happen when we die anyway? Why struggle to achieve the inevitable? It certainly isn't worth becoming a celebate!!

So it is not impossible to be spiritual being a Christian? Wow!
