Your response might be Sir Isaac Newton’s third Law of Motion, which says “for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.”
X -> Y -> Z
You have been taught that Cause and Effect is an action or event (X interacts with Y) which produces a specific response to the action in the form of another event (creating Z). The first event is the cause of the event that follows which is the effect. Therefore, Cause and Effect is all physics or psychological. Correct?
The Dilemma
But what happens when X interacts with Y a second time and the results are different? How do you explain it when you do NOT get the same effect? Obviously your perception is limited. Physics and psychology are still in their infinite stages.
Hawkins teaches in his book “Power vs. Force” that mankind has a misunderstanding of the nature of causality.
“Man is stuck with his lack of knowledge about himself until he can learn to look beyond apparent causes.”
This is why man’s consciousness has grown so slowly in the last 40,000 years. The world has yet to solve world hunger, poverty, and wars. Man’s focus has always been on the effects and not the cause.
Defining “Force”
Every time you blame someone or something for an undesirable effect it is evident you do not understand how Cause and Effect works. At this level of consciousness you will create more and more undesirable effects. This is why you find yourself using “force” to either control, rule, or destroy yourself and each other.
When you focus only upon the physical you limit your consciousness. But when you learn how to focus upon the invisible you will raise you consciousness to a higher level of “power.” When you can say there is no one to blame, then you will know you have begun to raise your consciousness to a higher level.
FORCE is a lower energy which has to be fed constantly otherwise it dies. Raise your consciousness to POWER and the effects will be endless and everlasting. It is the connection to all source.
All the time and energy you spend creating force.....that's what drains you. You force yourself to work a job you hate. You force yourself to obey the laws or not get caught. You force yourself to be tough for your protection. Your force yourself to be selfish to get what you want. You force yourself to judge others so you can feel good about yourself. You force yourself to avoid other people so you don’t have to express true love. No wonder you are tired, stressed out, frustrated, and unhappy.
Your purpose is to know the source of your power and the only way you can do that is by shifting your focus, understand who you are and raise your consciousness.
The Law of Correspondence
There are universal laws which make up the fabric of your universe, both in the physical and in the invisible.
The law of Cause and Effect is one of them others wise known as “to sow what you reap.”
To once you understand how the Law of Correspondence works then you will begin to understand the true nature of Cause and Effect.
The Law of Correspondence says; before anything can be created in the physical it must first be created in the invisible.
Just like an idea. First you get the idea in your head as a thought or inspiration then you can manifest it into the physical.
It could be an action such as giving someone a hug, writing a letter, or just speaking to someone. It can also be drawing a picture, fixing your car or building a house. It all starts in the invisible and has its beginning through your consciousness and thought.
If you are impressed with what you see in the outer physical world then you would be amazed if you could see your inner invisible world. Look at the vastness of outer-space and you will get an idea of your inner-space. Within you is an invisible world which is a huge field, full of possibilities waiting for you to experience.
Revealing the Mystery
In recent years science has discovered that everything in the universe is ingeniously dependent upon everything else. The whole world is kept in balance between the physical and the invisible. The study of quantum physics has opened the door as proof that the physical world is governed by the invisible.
In other words your thoughts are influenced by your level of consciousness. When you experience something in the physical, the effect is a result of your connection to the invisible.
For example, when you hit a ball with a bat, it is not just the bat creating the energy but the inter-action between your thoughts and those who are observing. Yes other people can and will inter-act with you in the effect. But it is your level of consciousness which creates the effect.
This is why “faith” is so powerful. It is the evidence of things unseen. (Hebrews 11:1) It is a power that comes from within, when exercised people will call it a miracle because it is beyond their understanding but not to the one who created it.
Hawkins says you create an attractor pattern in your consciousness. You pull out of the invisible what you expect to create. That is the true Cause of all Effects.
