Subject: Why "prayer" "works"

CAUSALITY

Everyone by now should have heard of this law as it appears in all spiritual writings of all religions upon Earth. It is the law of "CAUSE AND EFFECT" or "YOU REAP AS YOU SOW" or - for materialists and atheists - "YOU GET AS MUCH AS YOU GIVE".

If you sow destructive things, you will reap destructive things. You sow anger and hatred, you will reap those. If you plant wheat, you will reap wheat and not rye. And depending on how well you look after what you sowed, and how much you give it attention, the harvest will be better and bigger, irrespective of the type of seed.

It is of utmost importance to understand that the cosmos, and also our subconscious, is absolutely without prejudice. No good or bad, no positive or negative, no beautiful or ugly, no valuable or worthless.... These terms are only valid for self. What is positive or beautiful to one, does not have to be so for somebody else.

Farmers are often seen as a socially lower class. Few say so, but many think so. Just think where our food would come from if everybody sat in an office in the city. The Ferrari driver who looks down on those working on assembly lines or night shifts. Without them there would be no Ferrari to drive in the first place. Or the cleaning lady. There are women who consider themselves too good to do the cleaning themselves, so they hire a cleaning lady which they consider lower class. Can you imagine how the world would look like if there were no cleaning ladies?

A plant can be a remedy to the homeopath or the herbalist, to the hobby gardener it is but a weed that he pulls. Spiders are "terrible beasts" to some and they tread on them, but the same people are all fed up about the flies that now thrive because the spiders that would have caught the flies are now dead and gone.

As you can see the terms good and bad, valuable and worthless are not justified and at best expressions of our own subjectivity. It is easier still to understand if we learn, or are willing, to think in energies. Energy is unbiased. It is up to us to make the energy positive or negative, to use it constructively or destructively. This means that whatever we wish for we are entitled to and is exactly what we will get.

Creation has bestowed upon us the free will by which we can experience life in its entirety. Life does not tell us that we may experience only what is pleasant and beautiful. It is up to us what we want to experience, but whether we still want what we wished for once we get it is another matter. At least we had the free choice.

Merlin: Be aware of what you ask for, it may be granted.


Goethe: The spirits he summoned he cannot be rid of now.

You have a certain idea, and thus you establish a cause. The effect thereof is that whatever that idea was, it will enter your life sooner or later. You are afraid that after a few beers and driving in your car the police will stop you. Or you wake up one morning, and of a project you have, you think: "Darn!, this surely will go wrong!" The energy created by this thought is a command to the subconscious and the cosmos, and it will be complied with 100%.

The cosmos can perhaps be likened to a large computer with its perfect laws that you can program with your thoughts (INPUT), and the cosmos (COMPUTER) will print out the result (OUTPUT)

Your subconscious does not know fear, it does not distinguish between positive and negative. It merely receives energy, a command, and works accordingly, and you will get what you asked for, were afraid of. You will be stopped by the police, and your project will fail. Then you will say: "but I knew it, it had to go wrong.' Correct, you knew it. Even more correctly: ONLY YOU knew it.

And since "to each according to his faith", you received what you yourself caused in thoughts and feelings and sent out. It thus up to you what you think and feel and it will manifest in your life.

Don't point the finger at someone else for whatever reason. The other person is only the 'deliverer' the message you yourself sent out in the first place.

Thoughts manifest, whether we like it or not.
