Penetrating into Causes - (991)

Causal Egos – Egos are Causes

Egos that are causes are those which have within them something that will determine events in the future of the person. These events are events that we must pass through in the future. Therefore these egos are causes for future events.

Conditioned Will

This means also that these egos are in the causal body or dimension of the person and have causative power, that is they can determine circumstances. However, they cause circumstances that are pre-defined by our karma. So even though they can cause circumstances they do it strictly according to conditions. The will in those egos is conditioned or trapped to cause circumstances to happen only in a pre-defined way.

Knowing Causes

We need to know what they are causing and we most importantly of all need to know why they are causing.

We need to use consciousness and will to modify causes within ourselves.

Helping Hand of the Principle of Duality

By duality we can know half of the cause, the more important half, that is, the half that matters. The half that does not matter so much is the side that concerns the human details. The examples below show how the principle of duality can be effectively applied to gain knowledge. By realising the other side or more correct side of duality we awaken a bit more consciousness.

Example 1

Say for example we have just one person that we have a lot of trouble with. It turns out that we want love from that person and when we don’t get it we suffer and that doesn’t happen with anyone else. That means that there are some causal elements at work. If we apply duality the love that we want from them and the suffering involved when we don’t get it means simply that we denied them love before and now the way out is to not get love, which we is the automatic way that we think is the way to go but the way to go is to love and forget all about receiving love from them.

Example 2

The same with lust, if we have trouble controlling our lust then it is because with lust we lost ourselves or our Being, and when we are out of control it is because we have lost ourselves. We decided to go into it and into it loosening more each time the grip we had on ourselves. So now we have to decide to retain ourselves and retain ourselves, and strengthen each time more and more the grip we have on own selves.

Conclusion – Freeing Will

This then (the work mentioned in the two above examples) frees the will or releases the will from inside that ego from having to be the causes for future circumstances. There is no other way but to use will with the causal egos and when we attack such an ego with our mind and nothing happens at all we have to work with will and consciousness.
