The closest ive seen in the literature of anything close to karma is somthing called cumulative continuity. It was published in 1989 by Caspi, Bem, and Elder in the Journal of personality 57 (2), 375–406. Below is the abstract.

Basically it says that a persons behavior puts them into environments that reinforce that behavior, causing the consequences of said behavior to accumulate across the lifespan.

That makes sense. But karma is a much shorter way to say it :)

I think people generally treat you like you deserve to be treated so what goes around does come around. However in your experience I think that's something more than just that. You said you thought it wasn't a fluke that you went over the other side. Who ever really knows what is going on in the unseen world. I guess we can just be grateful for these little "miracles".
