I am well aware of the eastern interpretation of karma. How are you so sure these are the "rules of the world"? Where did you get that from? Why would love hold you accountable? Doesnt it just make sense for love to provide awareness and a chance for correction?

#2 Negation of desire.
Desire does not die because you muscle it by belief in one thing or another, but by the simple fact that you lose interest in the things that once attracted you. You have a new fascination in your life now. A door that opens inwardly.

Desire is merely a preference for a course of action even for the action that opens that inward door.

#3 Celibacy. Once again, it can be forced by learned behavior but achieves only an imitation of the truth. Natural celibacy occurs by the reason listed in #2. Imitation is the path of religion.

Natural Celibacy? Thats an oxymoron. Celibacy is choice. The only one possible valid reason to choose celibacy for spiritual reasons is if you are unable to engage all 7 chakra centers when experiencing sex or sexual desire. If you solely come from the root chakra alone you are by far missing the most glorious part of the experience. In the case of sexual desire this may also cause ones focus in other areas to be distracted. Im sure all of you guys heard of that expression, thinking with your dick. If you wish to become spiritual and you are constantly thinking sexual out of your root chakra alone, you may wish to temporarily choose celibacy in order to engage your higher spiritual chakras, but if you got it going in all 7 centers as described above, celibacy isnt necessary. On the contrary, it would be a forced denial in the worst form!

#4 Suffering. Part of the show here. It's one of your teachers. The idea is for you to move forward on the gameboard. Should you grow lazy or distracted, pain and suffering remind you of the path ahead. You have to work to exit this game.
And when you exit the checkout line at the end of it, you're going to have a pretty big smile. Because you got your money's worth.

Yes, but it is not necessary for an opposite condition to exist right next to you in order to provide a contextual filed within which the reality you choose may be experienced. The distance between contrasts is irrelevant. The entire universe provides a contextual field within which all contrasting elements exist, and all experiences are thus made possible. That is the purpose of the universe. That is its function. All beings in the universe have experienced everything. If not in this lifetime, then in the last. You do not have to experience suffering again if you dont want to. You need to merely remember it--know that it exists--in order to invoke the universal law of relativity.
