Karma and the higher mind?

I don't think having a "higher mind" means we can separate ourselves from human emotion; I think it can help us make a decision that is based on logic and the long term instead of what will make us feel good now but that's a different matter. Watching in satisfaction simply means you had compion for the people she left in her wake. I myself have witnessed that kind of person and don't feel particularly sorry when then party ends.
