Actions inevitably have consequences. In the material world, this principle is expressed as Newton’s Third Law of motion: “For every operation there is an opposite and equal reaction.” We throw a stone into the air, and it falls to earth every time. We learn in science classes that there are immutable laws of matter; the entire field of engineering is based on this cause and effect relationship. Pushing one of a row of dominoes causes the entire row to be knocked over, seeming to demonstrate the validity and inflexibility of operation — reaction.
Unquestioning acceptance of this idea, however, can lead to difficulty. Of procedure it is inescapable that cause and effect operates in our lives and the lives of others, but a diminutive plan shows that this principle has deeper roots.
Pragmatic
When people say that an operation has consequences, they mean that a inescapable counter-reaction will inevitably follow. When a scientist says that operation A causes effect B, he means B inevitably follows from A. When B always follows A, given the same experimental conditions, science says that the statement “B follows A” is a law. There is the law of gravity, which we all know so intimately. Science uses consideration of an operation and the effect reactions of matter and vigor to survey laws about the behavior of the universe. As mere mortals, all of us do the same in our daily lives.
In our scientific culture, however, the laws of science are unthinkingly applied to the actions of human beings. But as aware beings we get into issue when we model our own guide on scientific laws which, after all, only characterize the behavior of matter and energy. Behaviorism, materialism, and pragmatism are all modeled on the idea that objective reality is paramount. These philosophies, in my opinion, place human beings at effect point. Behavioral scientists attempt to characterize the actions of human beings as if they were so many billiard balls, banging into each other and going off in predictable directions.
A aware being has the leisure of independent choice; therefore, he or she may consciously alter the pattern of his or her life.
When we speak of an operation having consequences, we must factor consciousness itself into the picture, and straight through the found of consciousness, the Law of Attraction. Therefore, no operation A can inevitably produce a effect B, unless the consciousness of the observer, or initiator, of the operation is taken into account. The creative will of a aware being will have an effect on the outcome of any action, and, in fact, the Law of Attraction guarantees that the outcome of operation A will be affected by the vibratory pattern of the observer or initiator of the action.
Let’s take an example from life. Marge Smith is known in the office as “that bitch.” It has been the caress of everyone that when one interacts with Marge, one will caress a set-down. This pattern of operation has become so well established that it could be said to be law. Deal with Marge, and you will get snapped at sooner or later. Now, say, a new hire comes into the office one day. When Joe sees Marge he gives her a pleasant smile, holds out his hand and says “hello, I’m Joe.” Marge is taken aback at first by this unusual behavior, but to be polite, shakes Joe’s hand. They get to talking, just pleasantries, but because Joe doesn’t comprehend that marge is a bitch, no negative outcome is forthcoming. So B, a negative experience, does not effect from A, an encounter with Marge, even though this has been firmly established by consideration in the past. We can see this in the world of matter as well, where an experimenter can influence the outcome of the experiment. The work of Dr. Masaru Emoto is a illustrated demonstration of the effect consciousness has on matter, energy, and other life forms. (See “Messages from Water.”)
Therefore we can say that no matter what is concluded to be true by observation, no matter how many times it has been observed that B follows A, a dissimilar outcome can be produced in the nearnessy of creative will! Therefore the inescapable character of cause and effect is an illusion. In fact, what seems to be an unbreakable law by consideration is just the Law of Attraction at work. In the office, all are a vibrational match to the frequencies of “conflict with Marge” and so it is observed to be an inflexible pattern of conduct. But it is a “law” only because all consciously hold the same pattern of plan and operation relative to each other.
How does the idea of cause and effect apply in daily life? In this way: as Esther Hicks points out, we originate our lives approximately 100% from observation, rather than from use of our creative will. We survey the (illusory) rigid inflexibility of cause and effect in the corporeal world and translate to our actions. We never think to deliberately alter our thoughts, and therefore our vibrational pattern, to request a different, more pleasant set of circumstances into our experience. We say “that’s the way it’s always been with me. I just don’t seem to have any luck with money.” Or, “every time I get into a good relationship, it always falls apart.” Or, “they always pass over me for promotions. I must be doing something wrong.” These are declarative statements which are based solely upon observation. In these statements there is an assumption: what has been must be. B must effect A. There is no discount for the deliberate creation of other vibration, which will attract a dissimilar result! This is a shame, for it means that we do not practice the free will that is possible in all aware beings. We think ourselves to be mere ciphers, pawns in a game where others can apparently move us colse to on the board of life; victims of the inevitability of cause – effect.
Cause and effect is the apparency of B always following A, based upon consideration of what has occurred in the past. The apparent inflexibility of ingrained, habitual plan and guide can be transcended by the use of creative will. It is only for us to comprehend the marvelous creative nature of our own consciousness, to effect inescapable change. An insight of the Law of Attraction provides the important basis for this understanding.
