| is not recognized as the result of the cause set in motion, which in this case is | 196 COMMITMENT: CAUSE AND EFFECT |
| or withdraw into failure and passivity. Disconnectedness between cause and effect, that is, between lack of commitment | 196 COMMITMENT: CAUSE AND EFFECT |
| if you fail to establish the link between cause and effect. It is quite possible to be | 196 COMMITMENT: CAUSE AND EFFECT |
| explained because you have drawn the link between cause and effect. If you have no financial security | 196 COMMITMENT: CAUSE AND EFFECT |
| to disregard the power of the hidden negative cause. Even if you are already aware of the | 196 COMMITMENT: CAUSE AND EFFECT |

| physical sensation, it is incapable of bringing together cause and effect, because it lacks cognition. The pain-producing | 196 COMMITMENT: CAUSE AND EFFECT |
