[...] Where there is great privation there will be a cruel climate, but the climate does not cause the privation. The emotional aggression caused by privation caused the climate.

[...] This may sound unbelievable to you; nevertheless the same effects that cause emotional outbursts also cause physical storms. [...]

[...] The crisis itself was a psychic one mainly, which will of course have physical consequences. [...]

If cause and effect were an absolute law, then continuity would also have to be an absolute law, and all or any evidences of clairvoyance, or viewing the future, would be absolutely impossible, even in your universe, and this simply is not so. It is only because there is basically no cause and effect, but merely apparent cause and effect, and no past, present and future, that clairvoyance is possible in your universe.

Contradictions, or rather apparent contradictions in terms will arise only out of a false conception on your part, mostly as a result of the erroneous cause- and-effect system. Obviously cause and effect has only limited application even on your own plane and in your own camouflage universe.

[...] When the two laws of value fulfillment and energy transformation are mastered, then duration is a natural consequence.

[...] It is a natural consequence of your own existence. [...]

[...] The mechanics are not important, but as dreaming is partially caused by chemical poisons that make dreaming a necessity for physical survival, so there are other mechanisms of this kind that are actually doorways, built within and natural to the physical mechanism, that at the same time necessitate experience upon other fields of reality.

All of this material applies to your lives in general and to Ruburt’s physical condition, because you must be clear in your minds as to your own status in that regard, and much of this material will clear the air and dissolve lingering doubts; doubts that cause both of you — but Ruburt in particular — to hold on to the rational approach in a misguided effort to maintain what he thinks of as a balanced viewpoint and open mind. [...]

The rational approach, built up around this framework, insists that the best way to solve a problem is to concentrate upon it, to project its effects into the future, to ruminate upon its consequences, “to stare at the bare facts head on.”

[...] This well-intentioned concentration, this determination to solve the problem, this rational approach, then causes an even deeper sense of inadequacy. [...]

Often the insecticide kills more than the mosquito, and its effects can be far-reaching, and possibly have disastrous consequences. However, to consider impulses as chaotic, meaningless — or worse, detrimental to an ordered life — represents a very dangerous attitude indeed; an attempt that causes many of your other problems, an attempt that does often distort the nature of impulses. [...]

[...] When you do not continue it he is afraid that you are not willing to take the consequences, while you interpret the discontinuation to mean he does not want to improve.

[...] Suggestion causes your reality. [...]

[...] The expansion is an illusion, based among other things upon inadequate time measurements, upon the limited cause and effect theories; and yet in some manners the universe could be said to be expanding, but with entirely different connotations than are usually used.

[...] The phenomena that are given as evidence of this kind of expanding universe are the result of camouflage instruments, distortive ideas of time, and the resulting cause and effect theory.

[...] The appearance of an expanding universe is also caused therefore by this distortive boundary effect, resulting from the interaction of which I have just spoken. [...]

[...] Many of those people, however, in say businesses or professions, would automatically try to grasp the new ideas with one hand, while protecting themselves from any consequences with the other: “I know these ideas seem crazy, but -” or, in the case of your professor, “I collect my crazies, but those people are authentic.”

[...] Whenever you come into difficulties, it is because you are still relying upon Framework 1’s authority, in which normal cause and effect operates, in which problems are solved by exaggerating them, and in which magical changes or alterations are considered out of context to normal living. [...]

(Pause at 9:34.) Any attempt to impair the flow of true aggression results in a distortive, uneven, explosive pseudo-aggression that causes wars, individual neurosis, and a great many of your problems in all areas.

If you are religious-minded and fundamental in your beliefs, you may blame a devil who causes you to behave in such and such a manner. [...]

[...] As long as you believe that violence must be met with violence you court it and its consequences. [...]

[...] It is necessary now that he see through endeavors, and face the consequences of his own psychological action.

[...] The causes began, generally speaking, about the year 1938, and were heightened in the years 1942 to 1947. [...]

[...] First of all, let us deal with some causes.

[...] There is also, in this same respect, an organizational aspect to your personality that is not now being used to advantage, and therefore can have negative consequences. [...]

[...] All of these fears work together to cause the present difficulty. [...]

[...] After death, an individual may visualize his (immediately previous physical) life as an animal with which he must come to terms, and such a battle or encounter has far-reaching consequences, for the man must come to terms with all portions of himself. [...]

[...] Perhaps Seth’s example had caused the reaction, I thought, but she didn’t seem to respond here either. [...]

[...] This does not mean that any of those people could bear consciously knowing their own decisions — or could board that plane with the conscious consequences in mind.

[...] It causes you, however, to interpret all other kinds of life according to your own specifications and experience. [...]

To die with hatred for any cause or people, or for any reason, is a great disadvantage. [...]

In the present circumstances you are carrying that idea forward — of species survival regardless of the consequences, the idea of changing the environment to suit your own purposes; and this has led you to a disregard of spiritual truths.

[...] Beliefs about the dishonor of age often cause people to make the decision—sometimes quite consciously—to bring their own lives to an end before the so-called threshold is reached. [...]

[...] As a consequence some young people die for the same reason: They believe that the state of youth is somehow dishonorable. [...]

Before you send out such messages, then, see if you want to accept the consequences. [...]

[...] The entire condition, regardless, was caused by tension of a steady nature. [...]

He saw it physically, yet could find no physical cause for it. [...] Consciously he thought the light must have been caused by lightning, even while he knew with another portion of himself that that was not the case.

If you believe, however, that the chemicals in certain foods will harm you drastically and bring about disastrous consequences, then even small doses of these can do you harm.

Whatever its cause or origin

[...] When you are learning to walk or swim you do not stop to think, “How am I doing this, will I meet a mean old fish or not, will I pull?” and you do not imagine the dire consequences that may, therefore, attend you and do not do so now. [...]

[...] This will cause an expansion within the personality. [...]

[...] If his reactions cause a generalized overall poor condition, this is much more difficult to treat. [...]
