Category: Causality

Causality is not so much a mechanical process of sequential progression, as much as it is the framework by which all event potentials find their eventual expression. It is the Great Mother of Taoist thinking. The first cause in all metaphysical thinking. The big bang in its potential to give rise to all current expressions of form and energy.


There is only the causal field. Everything that seems to be new in your life has the same root as the older events, because everything we perceive as occurring now is actually old news. Events form a casual mandala. One event nested in the context of all others. It doesn’t matter what event you think is the center of the universe, but this set of patterns cycles on itself. History seems to repeat itself and even re-mixes itself.


“Each of us can manifest the properties of a field of consciousness that transcends space, time, and linear causality.” Stanislav Grof


“Logic is a poor model of cause and effect.” Gregory Bateson

    I find it helpful when discussing these things to start by asking for other peoples definitions of the topic. So, what my friends is causality? That which causes something? The “thing” that drives an event? Variables. A condition for something to happen. One event leads to another? One thing in the secular world influences another……

    Causal Filter

    The emphasis on causality focuses us away from ego and to our relationships. Indeed, and in fact, new research suggests that our very own minds are structured in such a way that they are by definition responsive to changes in our relationships. They are calling this insight neuro-sociology. We are hard wired to be social…

    Causal Dialogue

    Let’s look at time. We say things like “that was then and this is now” when in fact there is no then and now. There is only the causal field. Everything that seems to be new in your life has the same root as the older events, because everything we perceive as occurring now is…

    Fictional Facts Of Life

    People who dismiss empathy as a tool in any situation are going in blind? Exactly. Without both the voluntary nervous system to allow for our personal volition, and the mirroring nervous system to hand translations of our sensory feedback to our frontal lobe both working in tandem, you could have no perception of reality at…

    Link To Causality

    You say all things are happening at once, so temporal causality is an illusion. But the universe is homeostatic, so any event must be balanced out somewhere else. Am I missing something? Yes and no. As is usually the case when I get ambitious like this, the track tends to get paradoxical. Our immediate link…

    Causal Mandala

    The universe is a memory system. It has habits of behaviour. You are part of that universe. Just as you may have a habit of eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, the universe has the potential for that behaviour in it, and it echoes across not only you but everyone else who shares the same…

    Event Tides

    Can anyone share an experience of a repetitive pattern in their life? Something we can’t stop doing? Or something that just seems to recur no matter what you do. Both work, but interpersonal. I keep having trouble with contaminants in my environment. Hmm, ok, pollution sensitivity. You also likely have repeated “failure to communicate” type…

    The events that lead you to choose chocolate chip over peanut butter cookies are not confined to that. Something as simple as your preferred choice of cake or pie is a manifestation of how resources both grow and are consumed. Your choice is not disconnected. This is also part of why you have the innate…

    Last night I bought groceries and was putting them in the car when a man came up and asked for money. I wanted to help, but I didn’t have any and I remembered your story about giving the guy your hamburger. So I gave him a bag of chips and he was really happy. Excellent.…

    Causality is something neither denied nor well accepted by conventional scientific thinkers. Many are heavily invested in a world view where any apparent order is supposedly incidental. Science has not been able to refute causality though, nor causal integrity. The big problem is that scientists, as well as society as a whole, tends to see…

    The default reality is not what Bohm called the explicate reality, it’s the implicate. The strange behaviour of quantum phenomenon is not the big mystery, certainly not a fringe phenomenon. Our concept of matter and particle physics is the fringe or shoddy thinking. Decisions. They are not what they seem to be. Humanity romanticizes a…

    Our Capacity to Access More

    The most basic assumption of the dominant thinking on reality right now, that model which seeks to dispel all forms of magickal or intuitive thinking, is simply stated. There was nothing, and then there was something, the big bang. The very basis of their argument against magick, that you can’t create something out of nothing,…
