Effects and Causes (Not)

It is ordinary men’s fate to perceive of only problems, and only those of the Work, solutions.

Only those who accidentally draw close to the Source speak publicly about god, and they lie to their listeners, in that they say they have spoken to, or experienced his presence, when in truth they do not know what occurred.

As one begins to truly Struggle he realizes that self-honesty is not simply a matter of wanting to tell the truth, but of somehow finding a place to begin.

There are no causes to be seen, only effects.  There is no “now” to be ordinarily perceived, for every apparent sense-of-now is but a delayed reaction (effect) of some previous cause, even though it may have occurred only seconds before.  Do not be so foolish as to search for causes; all you see are effects, hence, no one to blame; all are mere victims of effects.

When one is certain that things are going from bad to worse, should the leader become an obscure cult as soon as possible?  The objective reality of life would not be seen as fitting pattern, but would be a pattern. Not contained within a process, but the process itself.
