Notes
The day of judgment "is a day on which Almighty God will judge His creatures according to their actions done in this life."[1]
Lots of passages in the Qu'ran referring, in a rather judgmental way to the day of Judgment.
Theosophy: " As described in your catechisms, we reject them absolutely; least of all would we accept their eternity. But we believe firmly in what we call the Law of Retribution, and in the absolute justice and wisdom guiding this Law, or Karma. [2]"
"Karma, the universal law of retributive justice."[3]
"...we consider it [karma] as the Ultimate Law of the Universe, the source, origin and fount of all other laws which exist throughout Nature. Karma is the unerring law which adjusts effect to cause, on the physical, mental and spiritual planes of being. As no cause remains without its due effect from greatest to least, from a cosmic disturbance down to the movement of your hand, and as like produces like, Karma is that unseen and unknown law which adjusts wisely, intelligently and equitably each effect to its cause, tracing the latter back to its producer. Though itself unknowable, its action is perceivable."[4]
Consequences
People who absorb this archetype often feel like they are being punished when things go wrong in their lives, even when there are socio-political and economic reasons explaining why things are going wrong (i.e. unemployment caused by government policy). In other words, they blame themselves rather than the significant forces that impact them. See for example, this Reddit thread] where the individual experiences many bad things, blames themselves, thereby increasing anger and frustration.
