Cause and Effect is
merely a scientific term for the Law of Attraction and it is the
most important law of the universe. Like all
universal laws, it is extremely important that we understand it if we
want to learn how to attract
the abundance, joy, fulfillment, peace and happiness that we desire
into our lives.

Just as we can only harvest what we sow, the choice of
our actions can only produce effects that are in
accordance with the action that we put in. So choose
wisely. |
I
first learned the theory of Cause and Effect in my Physics class in
high school. According to this hypothesis, nothing can happen
without a cause and for every action there is an equal and opposite
reaction.
Later in life I have encountered
different truisms, sayings and
quotations related to it, like: We reap what we sow, we get what we
give, what goes around comes around, or karma, life is an echo and many
other similar statements.
As I continued to analyze and discern the theory, it has only strengthened
my belief and my faith that the universe did not just exist by
itself; that there is a God, the Creator, and the Source of everything.
Great minds have failed to prove the origin of the universe and of
many other things. This theory proves that God truly exists.
Like all other universal laws, this law is unchanging,
unwavering, deliberate, and precise in its application and delivery.
Unlike man-made law, it is bound to happen and
delivers back to us, the results of whatever we give, whatever action
or inaction we choose to take or not take. For example in planting and growing
of plants, we harvest what we sow. It is the same process and
it works everywhere, always, and in anything and everything.
If our thought consists of fearful, anxious, and
doubtful results, then we will receive fearful and doubtful results.
But there is the incredible news! By nurturing the original thought
with healthy, concise, focused, and positive elements, it would
produce results according to what we have input to it.

Treat
people the way you want to be treated. Talk to people the way you want
to be talked to. Respect is earned not given. |
Similarly, on this line of reasoning, the more we
cause others to be happy, the more we will be happy. Whatever we
wish to get, give it away first. This is the fastest path. Whatever
we wish to have, let us cause others to have it first. So it is to our best interests to sow good
seeds; not to be unjust to anyone unless we wish to have injustice
turn back to us one day. Hate, covetousness, greed, anger – negative
thoughts and actions could cause negative conditions and sufferings
and need correction.
It is waking up to this fact, and asking ourselves,
what caused what we just had or what will be the effect of what we
are having that enables us to fine-tune ourselves. It is the path to
experiencing a better life. Things get better when we get better.
They get worse when we get worse. The world is all within us. We are
the cause of everything that happens in our lives, whether we are
conscious of it or not.
Certainly love
also begets love. It sounds selfish at first when somebody tells us,
"I will take care of you so that you can take care of me." but
if we think about it realistically, it
is the profound and essential truth that must be present and live
out in every relationship; for it is in loving that we are being
loved; it is in sharing that we receive.
