| operates merely because in one case cause and effect are close together, while in other cases they | 107 THREE ASPECTS THAT PREVENT LOVING |

| that their inability to see either cause or effect does not change the fact that cause and | 107 THREE ASPECTS THAT PREVENT LOVING |
| does not change the fact that cause and effect are interdependent. When you uncover cause and effect | 107 THREE ASPECTS THAT PREVENT LOVING |
| effect are interdependent. When you uncover cause and effect sufficiently in your own personal life, then what | 107 THREE ASPECTS THAT PREVENT LOVING |
| substitute and atonement has, indeed, quite the opposite effect because it is unloving and isolated. It emphasizes | 108 FUNDAMENTAL GUILT FOR NOT LOVING -- OBLIGATIONS |
| us now for a moment consider the corroding effect that not facing the lower self and real | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| depend upon others. This dependency has a weakening effect, since it leads to submissiveness and allows one | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| concentration, you have to understand fully its corroding effect on your life, on the best that is | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |

| the imprints remain imbedded in the soul-substance, the effect on the personality is heavy. Then unfavorable circumstances | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
| when something good happens; it has a disrupting effect. You are unable to assimilate the experience; it | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
| causes both conscious and unconscious pain. Since the effect is bound to be detrimental, the psyche seeks | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
| because one is too preoccupied with the unpleasant effect of the dent upon the soul-stuff. If you | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
| demands made on you does not eliminate their effect on your special, inner way of dealing with | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
| assimilate, evaluate, and come to terms with the effect that others have on you, then their demands | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
| result of all previous incarnations. Karma is the effect the soul has produced. QUESTION: The sensitivity is | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
| place, the human view is very limited. Whenever effect does not immediately follow cause, people lose the | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
| judgments, such judgment must be faulty. Cause and effect are often far removed in time. In other | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
| In other words, human beings may experience the effect of a cause from way back, while the | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
| new causes they institute have not yet taken effect, but will do so later. With increasing spiritual | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
| spiritual development, inner health, and oneness, cause and effect come closer together. As long as they are | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
| of development, is still limited when cause and effect are removed from one another. Only when the | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
| therefore it can become actualized, are cause and effect closer together. Moreover, when motives are split, the | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
| closer together. Moreover, when motives are split, the effect is influenced accordingly. For example -- as I | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
| the bad motives will have an apparently favorable effect. Only later, when the conscience has grown, will | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
| has grown, will the retroactive guilt have an effect and manifest as though it were punishment from | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
| conscious determination to be ruthless will have no effect because the soul has already gained a new | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
| ANSWER: If the questioner has in mind the effect that myth, drama, or fairy tales have upon | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
| child's mind really takes in will have its effect. If an apparently cruel fairy tale or myth | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
| misinterpreted. False myths will not have a negative effect either. For not all myth is truthful. Untruthful | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
| as misunderstood and misinterpreted truthful influxes, will take effect only where the soul is already afflicted. When | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
| are often shifted this way, to obtain an effect, an impression on others. Or you may discover | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| the self. In other words, self-alienation is an effect, while self- identification is a cause. Whenever you | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| to only a certain point. In order to effect further growth, the baby has to evolve; the | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| always the cause; the physical body is the effect. With great love I now leave you, blessing | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |

| person self-centered and withdrawn. If this is the effect, the work of self-confrontation is somehow off. Then | 115 PERCEPTION, DETERMINATION, LOVE AS ASPECTS OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| By understanding a little more of cause and effect in your own life, and seeing it in | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| light, is such a profound experience that its effect can never leave you. But while you are | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| usage is harmful. It has the very opposite effect to what we seek to attain -- independent | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| the moment, but there may be a negative effect. It is not the act or its consequences | 117 SHAME: A LEGACY OF CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES, EVEN FAVORABLE ONES |
| overindulgence, or from a clear, unconfused psyche. The effect on the child depends on whether it is | 117 SHAME: A LEGACY OF CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES, EVEN FAVORABLE ONES |
| pleasurable overindulgence. It too will have no adverse effect on the child's psyche if no corresponding problems | 117 SHAME: A LEGACY OF CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES, EVEN FAVORABLE ONES |
| causes early experience to have a more extensive effect than a similar experience would have for an | 118 DUALITY THROUGH ILLUSION -- TRANSFERENCE |
| labels is precisely the opposite of the intended effect. The child would naturally outgrow these feelings, but | 119 MOVEMENT, CONSCIOUSNESS, EXPERIENCE: PLEASURE, THE ESSENCE OF LIFE |
| was the insight and the more liberating the effect. It is no different in this respect, my | 119 MOVEMENT, CONSCIOUSNESS, EXPERIENCE: PLEASURE, THE ESSENCE OF LIFE |
| in outer gestures, it must have a lasting effect on your psyche and the direction of its | 119 MOVEMENT, CONSCIOUSNESS, EXPERIENCE: PLEASURE, THE ESSENCE OF LIFE |
| of its problems by looking inward, behind the effect, into the inner causes. So far, humanity does | 120 THE INDIVIDUAL AND HUMANITY |
| reactions, feelings, and expressions, as well as the effect you have on others and they on you | 123 LIBERATION AND PEACE BY OVERCOMING FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN |
| open a further vista than the periphery, the effect, the outer manifestation -- and therefore it does | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| your unhappiness and unfulfillment is not a remote effect of a remote cause, even remote in your | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| remote in your self, but a very direct effect of a cause that is right in front | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| the pressure by talking about it openly. The effect of these two important activities will be experienced | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| of having another authority responsible for you. Every effect in your life can be traced to your | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| truth, you more than understand the cause and effect of images and misconceptions. You know what the | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |
| the way of personal experience has a healing effect on you and your entire environment. When you | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |
| emanate a calm knowingness, which must have an effect, whether or not you speak about it; whether | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |
| though you cannot move from the spot, the effect will be the same. You may wait a | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| person finally recognizes the significance of cause and effect in his or her own life, the result | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| removed, but direct, visible links of cause and effect, that is, visible if one chooses to see | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| is an important transition. The direct cause and effect is observable without mystical faith in occult matters | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| which you do not see immediate cause and effect. You are helpless because you believe yourself to | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| Here is the direct link of cause and effect that must be clearly recognized before the more | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| remote links can be seen. When cause and effect cannot be linked immediately, where they are once | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| -- but only as long as cause and effect remain obscure. The instant the more remote links | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| The instant the more remote links surface, the effect is the same as with the obviously direct | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| with the obviously direct links of cause and effect: the negative result dissolves instantly and new effects | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| come to a wider view of cause and effect, so often ascribed to an unfathomable fate? The | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| The first phase, the phase where cause and effect is obvious if one chooses to see it | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| fully experience the truth of immediate cause and effect? For example, you have a disharmonious relationship, but | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| a new relationship. This condition, then, is an effect not so easily perceived. But when the more | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| to change the cause that has brought the effect of unhappiness. When this decision is fully made | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| establish and experience the links between cause and effect, the more secure you must become, and the | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| current of trust which will have its positive effect. In other words, when you find yourself in | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| The knowingness that the law of cause and effect must fulfill itself will bring its proof. The | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| The more intense the contact, the greater the effect. This applies to happiness of every kind, not | 129 WINNER VERSUS LOSER: INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE SELF AND CREATIVE FORCES |
| now that you observe and understand cause and effect, you have the key to change. Your impatience | 129 WINNER VERSUS LOSER: INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE SELF AND CREATIVE FORCES |
| first be considered, understood in its cause and effect, and eliminated before you can get to the | 129 WINNER VERSUS LOSER: INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE SELF AND CREATIVE FORCES |
| governed by. This, of course, has a stifling effect. Even though such an approach cannot kill the | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| problem now. The more you comprehend cause and effect in your immediate life, where blindness in this | 132 THE FUNCTION OF THE EGO IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE REAL SELF |
| still overlook very immediate links of cause and effect: how you forfeit the results you wish for | 132 THE FUNCTION OF THE EGO IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE REAL SELF |
| a veil over these links between cause and effect, it is impossible to feel how this law | 132 THE FUNCTION OF THE EGO IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE REAL SELF |
| If you do this, it must have that effect. But then, as with the body and the | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| no control, becomes gradually visible as cause and effect operating by remote control, as opposed to the | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| to protect myself. In spite of the numbing effect on certain emotions, I cannot desensitize my own | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| a destructive attitude, has a much less destructive effect than destructiveness attached to and combined with the | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| cruelty and pleasure by no means alleviates the effect it has on the overall climate of humanity's | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| innermost being but also with the cause and effect within yourself and with that inner mechanism that | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| in the open and you understand cause and effect. Conversely, when you give up the inner lie | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| determine to feel differently. This desire has its effect. When it comes to your choice of action | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| psyche, you need not even wait for an effect. You can immediately determine whether to give in | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| or hostility in yourself, and you fear its effect on you and your actions. Simply state, I | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| a small part of your being, its pervading effect is that somehow everything seems a lie -- | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| because you begin to understand its cause and effect. This makes a drastic difference in your inner | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| are, within yourself, contemplating your own cause and effect. I have discussed this in different contexts before | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| of either unless you contemplate the cause and effect and cultivate it with your conscious ego. As | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| are no longer hazy, you can evaluate their effect, halt them, and choose a constructive pattern of | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| mutual interchange, the outer brain is unable to effect the balance. Nor can the ego-mind find the | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| instantly after some recognitions have been made. The effect of these recognitions is diluted when they do | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| unconsciousness that creates a gap between cause and effect. The cause is the negative wish; the effect | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| effect. The cause is the negative wish; the effect, the disturbance in the system. The two pulls | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| and accepted as a temporary manifestation, as an effect -- accepted as such without finality, and yet | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| stage, in the understanding that it is the effect of an inadvertent cause and a mere momentary | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| helpless when one lacks the awareness that the effect was self- created. Separation between cause and effect | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| effect was self- created. Separation between cause and effect in one's consciousness must create confusion, doubt, and | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| It is the nature of cause to create effect. The energy that creates the ensuing chain reactions | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |

| from the self. These are unconsciously instituted to effect a flight from the ego. You know how | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| and understood, they already begin to weaken in effect, and thereby a positive self-perpetuating magnetic field is | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |

| whatever field this may be, cannot have the effect on others that it has when accomplishment serves | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| opposites. It is the state of cause and effect. Growth in the unitive state expands infinitely. It | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
