Living at Cause – The key to restoring your power and having life work

Any area of your life that isn’t working is an area where you have lost your power. Instead of being on top of this area of your life, this area of life is on top of you. Fortunately, this is a state of mind that can easily be reversed. To learn how, let’s look at how you lost your power.

At any moment, you are totally at the effect of the world around you. No matter what happens, you will react accordingly. At the same time, the world around you is totally at the effect of you. No matter what you do or don’t do, the world around you will respond to you. This makes you the cause.

You are both “the cause” and “at the effect.” You are the creator of your life and the victim. You are both at the same time, but you only experience yourself as being one or the other.

When you are at cause, you are on top of life. You see clearly and are very effective. When you are at the effect, you are powerless. You lose your ability to find solutions and tend to make your situation worse.

So what puts us at the effect? We put ourselves at the effect by fighting the truth of something. Something is in your life that you don’t like. It’s there whether you like it or not, but you are fighting it.

When you do fight the truth of the way something is, you give your power to whatever you are resisting. You put yourself at the effect and destroy your effectiveness.

Look at any area of your life that isn’t working and notice the direction of your focus. Instead of looking to see what needs to be done based on the truth of the way your situation is, your focus is on fighting the truth.

If you could surrender to the truth of the way your situation is, you would restore your ability to see clearly. Solutions would appear and this area of life would begin to clear up.
