Basically we are trying to find the cause of the phenomena of life.
What makes things happen in my world?
Every natural effect in this world has an imaginal act as the cause.
It is not caused by things round about you.
It is the unseen cause, the imaginal act, that produced it.
Causation is simply the assemblage of mental states.
You assemble images.
We do not know and cannot perceive their hidden cause,
for it lies in the imagination of man.
All things spring, not from the ostensible causes to which they are attributed,
but from that which is hidden - man's own wonderful human imagination!
Every physical effect has an imaginal cause and not a physical cause.
A physical cause only seems a delusion of our fading memory.
We do not remember when we imagined it.
The so called outside causes are all delusion
based upon our own faulty memory.
We can't remember what we imagined.
based upon our own faulty memory.
We can't remember what we imagined.
You cannot find a cause outside of your own consciousness.
The cause of it all was my assumption
and my faithfulness to that assumption.
and my faithfulness to that assumption.
You caused it all and you can change it all.
You cannot say that a devil causes some things and God others.
You will have set yourself free from secondary causes.
When a man has no other being to whom he can turn,
he can't turn to another,
then he is freed from the tyranny of second causes.
then he is freed from the tyranny of second causes.
When you know who you are there is no secondary cause.
None whatsoever.
