Collateral Karma is the second novel by T.L. Orcutt in the ''Path of Return Trilogy'' and first published in September 2008. ==Synopsis==
For ten years, Jamayah, a mysterious mystic from Argentina, has instructed Rickshaw Lubowski (formerly Bob Kramer in ''Jamayah: Adventures on the Path of Return''), wisdom teachings oriented toward paranormal command and cosmic awareness. After completing three initiations along the ''Path of Return'', Rickshaw feels as if he knows everything he needs to know. Collateral Karma opens after Rickshaw has ditched the ''Path of Return'' in search of more tangible things - like sex, drugs, occultism, and sorcery. He realizes his vulnerability after becoming the target of a curse cast by an evil leader of a ceremonial cult called ''The Alliance'', a sorcery coterie of the ''Order of Aldabaoth'', who practice ritual sex and black magick. Rickshaw’s descent into the world of sensation and desire has generated collateral karma that incurs freakish nightmares all too real, starting with the obsessively expected death of his new fiancé. Realizing his grave mistake for running around in the playground of the Devil and driven to desperation, Rickshaw attempts to reconnect with his teachings and powers to no avail. Spiritually lost and adrift in a world that spins him out of control, he can only hang on while everything around him begins to crumble. Seeking help wherever he can find it, he meets a blind fortuneteller who seems to know more about his destiny than anyone should and with whom he falls in love. Only when Rickshaw truly believes that he has lost touch with himself and reality does his mentor, Jamayah, appear. Together, they join forces to confront the evil intentions of Aleister, the leader of ''The Alliance''. With the help of two Native American shamans, one a Navaho and the other a Chiricahua Apache, Jamayah and Rickshaw use all their powers to attempt to save not only Rickshaw’s life, but Jamayah’s as well. In the end, Jamayah requires Rickshaw to complete a fourth initiation. Now discovering that Raoul, Jamayah’s son, and Crystal Meadows, Carmela’s daughter, have been on the ''Path of Return'' and have already completed this initiation as well, in spite of his common sense, Rickshaw is compelled to undergo the initiation. Called ''cascading boulders in trance'', this initiation is about completely trusting in the universe at the risk of physical death.
