The Law of Cause & Effect

Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause;
Everything happens according to this Law;
Chance is a name for a Law not recognized;
There are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes The Law.

...The Kybalion

Many people live their lives responding to the events around them and never take the time to determine what is really important to them. This lack of goals or inner-directedness places them in the position of being victims to the pressures of daily life.
A major problem in their lives is lack of will and clarity regarding goals or life directions. They are experiencing the results of the Law of Cause and Effort without realizing that they have the ability to influence the effects of the law in their lives.

The Law of Cause and Effort is the expression of Divine Order in the Universe. The law states that nothing happens by chance or outside the Universal Laws. The Law of Cause and Effort relates to our freedom of choice. While we have free will to choose our actions in life, we are held responsible by the Law of Cause & Effect. The ability to choose our outcomes and to develop the mastery over our behaviors needed to achieve positive results.

Cause and Effect does not deal with things as much as it deals with events. Every thought that we think, every act that we perform, individually or collectively, has its direct and indirect impact on the events which are part of the chain of cause and effect. Everything is like an ecosystem - connected and performing flawlessly according to the variables affecting the chain of events.

The Law of Cause and Effect may apply to long-term or short-term outcomes. Karma is an example of the manifestation of this law. Karma used to take lifetimes to come around, now can appear within minutes following a projected thought or spoken word. While we cannot live outside the chain of cause and effect, we can exert our will and discipline to grow spiritually in ways which help us to use the law in positive ways. Each of us has free will or the freedom to choose at least some of our behaviors. When we act, we have the choice of right action or wrong action directed towards ourselves or others. Right ac5ionadvances the cause of God or Spirit. Wrong action is an act that goes against the cause of God or spirit. When we assume control over our thoughts and actions, we have moved toward mastery and the ability to live within the laws in positive ways.

A common problem which leads to negative effects is that of living with unrealistic fears, anxiety, anger, melancholy or worry. These are real emotions that we all experience, but if left unattended they can consume our minds. These mental and emotional states will generate consequences by drawing events to a person what will continue to perpetuate these experiences. As we move toward mastery, we are able to live by faith and remain in the Light. Learning to listen to our physical bodies, emotions and thoughts; gives us the ability to recognize and deal with these irrational states of mind, seeing them for what they really are and learning to bless them and embrace them before letting them go.

Mastery of our emotional and intellectual behaviors must begin with forgiving ourselves and others. Harboring old grievances and resentments is a sure way of creating negative energies which will produce negative outcomes. Knowing how to heal old wounds in positive ways and moving into the Light is an important lesson in the mastery of our behaviors. The Universal Laws are not barriers to our living happy and productive lives, but rather structures and guidelines for helping us evolve and become free. The Law of Cause & Effect provides us knowledge that all behaviors produce either positive or negative results - the life you choose for you and those around you and the life and future you wish to create. We gain control; over our lives by avoiding extreme behaviors, developing a strong will and sense of purpose and staying centered, calm and peaceful at all times.
