Why disturbing? Yes its disturbing and discouraging for all the religious hawks and moralists who loose no occasion to remind people of dire consequences of not following recommended laws of an outdated book, of not filling sinful all the time or not being full with self-pity.
Karma is not solely what we do consciously but mainly what we accumulate unconsciously. It is exactly because of this reason we are bound by them. If we were indeed aware of everything, can they result in bondage really? Our present life exhibits hidden desires we have accumulated for many lives.
It only points what spiritualists have been telling all-along, that our consciousness is far bigger than what we are presently aware/conscious of, and the whole point of spiritual practices, meditation, so & so forth is to expand the scope of our awareness.
I cannot say it is any more discouraging than the basic human condition which is suffering.
