| to excess, on a minor detail, overemphasizing the effect instead of going to the cause. People often | 36 PRAYER |
| and misrepresentation of the good will have the effect at which the forces of darkness constantly aim | 37 ACCEPTANCE, RIGHT AND WRONG WAY -- DIGNITY IN HUMILITY |

| not forget that the law of cause and effect or the law of karma specifies that people | 38 IMAGES |
| law is that the long-term remedy is an effect of these very violations. For the more you | 38 IMAGES |

| karmic debt manifests as a single event. An effect that can be dissolved usually recurs constantly, in | 40 MORE ON IMAGE-FINDING: A SUMMARY |
| all know, is nothing else but cause and effect. The same law works also within one lifespan | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| the truth of the law of cause and effect clearly demonstrated. Thus you will know how karma | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| in a concentration camp, which is a karmic effect, how does that combine with the images? What | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| the same principle as in the cause and effect of image-conclusions. Both draw events built on wrong | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |

| There may be cases when the retribution, or effect of the cause set in motion, may be | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |

| is contrary to the law of cause and effect. As you know, a human being can with | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| to. It is the law of cause and effect and embraces all universal and psychological processes. Take | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |

| your own weakness will have the same positive effect. Another motive for holding opinions not your own | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |

| connection of your own law of cause and effect. This alone will set you free, will show | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| -- you will come to understand cause and effect in your life; you will come to understand | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| excluded. Only understanding the law of cause and effect can free you of this fallacious view of | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| or unfavorable happenings, will have exactly the same effect on you. Of course, you are not that | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| applies to everything, not merely homosexuality. Cause and effect in this life, regarding homosexuality, present possibilities that | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| But then one is not free... as an effect of a cause. ANSWER: No. You set your | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| The law of causality or of cause and effect does not exist as a force that has | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| cannot understand certain inner conflicts as being the effect of the chain reaction this fundamental distorted concept | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| follow. Forcing it may have a very bad effect in various ways. The compulsion and the inability | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| reached this state, will have a creative, uplifting effect, causing inner growth and additional strength and freedom | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| can one have the strength and fortitude to effect the outer change. The more one desires something | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| fruitful. Otherwise, at best, it will have no effect; at worst, it might even harm you. By | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| important preliminary is the understanding of cause and effect. If you view any phenomenon in your world | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| it by reaction and counterreaction, through cause and effect, one extreme calling forth an opposite extreme, you | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| but if it did not have the desired effect on you, you are still dealing with subterfuges | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| that you see and observe its existence, its effect on you, and that you have made some | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| it creates in the other person a similar effect, although he or she may express it in | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| in creation, in the entire universe, as an effect of the Fall. It also takes place in | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| encounter damaging influences. These damaging influences have no effect on the person who is ready to grow | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| it that way. The law of cause and effect is constantly at work and the individual himself | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| easy to see the connection between cause and effect in such a case. In more subtle, hidden | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| true, only the person cannot connect cause and effect, unless and until he uncovers his unconscious motives | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| Then, as you all experience it, cause and effect become apparent. Before these connections are uncovered, you | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| operates within the same law of cause and effect. With the events outside your control you cannot | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| It is always a question of cause and effect, how you have unwittingly, unwillingly and ignorantly brought | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| me constantly that the law of cause and effect has to take its course. Although this is | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| In other words, the law of cause and effect is thereby broken. People think if God extends | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| not mean that the law of cause and effect is broken. Grace is the coming of Jesus | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| compulsion, but in reality -- you have an effect on others, and therefore on the world, such | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| source is divine grace. That it finally takes effect through various chains of instruments of grace -- | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| or womanhood: quite the contrary. Broadly speaking, the effect of these mass images is twofold. In the | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| nature. With woman, it was the reverse. The effect was, and is, very unfortunate for humanity as | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| on the path. This comes always as an effect. It is a natural growth that can never | 63 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| the human being. By considering only the immediate effect, you take it upon yourself to pronounce judgment | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| you will be rewarded in the hereafter. The effect of right action can be seen here and | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| the obvious. You fail to connect cause and effect, and therefore your view is blurred. But you | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| brings out harmonious currents and forces. That takes effect. It is like your love touching the heart | 65 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| person, it generates a pure strength, a pure effect that produces results around you. Let us suppose | 65 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| spiritual forces. This strength nevertheless works and takes effect in the universe and therefore benefits many, including | 65 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| cosmic forces, and, it also has a definite effect on your own soul by the unselfish love | 65 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| peace. ANSWER: Oh yes, indeed. If prayer has effect, sooner or later, on one individual, it certainly | 65 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| or later, on one individual, it certainly has effect on humankind as a whole. I do not | 65 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| will find it. QUESTION: Does prayer have any effect on the wills of those who are indifferent | 65 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| who are indifferent to spiritual values? ANSWER: The effect may not be immediate, but, as I said | 65 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| before, sooner or later it will have an effect. But often, it is not only that such | 65 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| it, your prayer is bound to have some effect. The prayer may open for you a way | 65 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| will be much weaker and therefore have less effect. By such honest recognition, you truly combine the | 65 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| would certainly be glad about it. But the effect would wear off. Inwardly the gnawing question would | 65 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| your intellectual memory. The latter has much less effect on you than the former. No matter how | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| your true self behind a wall. The inevitable effect must be the realization that you are condemned | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| for in reality it has the very opposite effect. Once you understand the motive of evil and | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
