The Sixth Hermetic Legality
„The Law of Cause and Effect“
At the outset I would like to say how funny I find it, that the Sixth Hermetic Legality "The Law of Cause and Effect" - that is this "karma thing" :-) - makes up Chapter Eight. The "eight" equated with destiny - karma - the infinity of the universe. That's really funny. What's even funnier is, is, that this often happens to me in my text works. Now to the topic of this chapter itself. The Sixth Hermetic Legality "The Law of Cause and Effect" is - in my view - one of the most massive laws, that exist in the vastness of the Cosmic Universe. Penetrant brings it permanently to effect. But if I use THWOL as an example here, the Dharma - i.e. that path of life on which you are traveling within the whole of the Cosmic Universe - is embedded in this principle of "cause and effect". Likewise, the principle of cause and effect is the basic working mechanism of the Dharma. Why? Let me digress for a moment :-). When you incarnate, on the one hand, you do this out of pure self-love in order to further develop your character. This time you have chosen the planetary system Earth, in order to collect your experiences in a qualitatively mediocre dimension, under the fateful principle of "love and suffering". So I leave it formulated without diving into the subtleties. I decide this in such a way because I have already written “this-that” in the previous chapters. And if I remember correctly, the focus here is on THWOL :-). On the other hand, this gaining experience on your Dharma clearly works in the working principle of the Sixth Hermetic Legality "The Law of Cause and Effect". One of the things that you should also learn in the role of a human being, in order to mature your fantastic character construct is: To take responsibility for yourself and your actions. You're traveling out of self-love anyway - why else would you put yourself through all the stress in the dimension on planet Earth? Makes no sense - mostly. In addition there is the factor of “self-responsibility” for you. Just as you are responsible for incarnating on planet Earth to have a spiritual experience, you are one hundred percent responsible for yourself and your Dharma. Self responsibility is for Holy Souls - in addition to the factor "self-love" - essential. Everything you intend - what you think - what you do - how you walk your Dharma, you are responsible for yourself. You carry this self-responsibility in your soul – it is not stamped on the forehead of your human body. Anyway. This self-responsibility that you "inhaled" during your creative process - and now you can't "get it off your cheek" forever - is reflected in your Dharma among other things, in the active principle of "cause and effect". EVERYTHING you intend and/or think and/or do, is a cause. And EVERYTHING you bring into the world as a cause, has an effect. This effect will have an impact in whatever form. Since the effect has an effect, the effect also becomes the cause. It can be nothing other than what it came from. Since I like storytelling in pictures and I like living examples, I'm just considering what I'm going to give you as an example. I think it will be ... the example from the tree. It's a very graphic and simple example. When you plant a tree - an apple tree - it grows and develops branches and leaves. At some point, when the tree is old enough, it begins to sprout apple blossoms from which fruit develop: Apples. Here the apple blossom is the cause and the apple is the effect (the causal cause being the existence of the apple is that the tree was planted at all). Then, in autumn, when the leaves change color and the tree sheds the leaves, they fall onto the lawn. The life cycle of the tree combined with the season is the cause - and all the leaves on the lawn - is the effect. And if you bake an apple pie from the apples - that's just: Delicious :-). At this point, I would like to invite you to take a "quiet hour" and empathize with yourself about "cause and effect", in your life. How much karma do you feel, is at work in your life? What karmic events do you have in your life that you don't know what the roots of? What have you "initiated" in your life so far from which you have caused karma? Karma is nothing more than the effect of what you do. What you instigate, hits “land” in whatever context. The effect has an effect and at some point, you will experience in a tried and tested correspondence with your actions a resonance. Whatever you put into the world as a cause - whether consciously or rather unconsciously, whether intentionally or negligently - creates an effect. This effect creates a reaction which you then feel as resonance.
Decades and centuries ago, it took forever for karma to get in touch. Now that the vibrations and accordingly the frequencies are getting higher and lighter, reactions to causes that we have caused occur much faster. In the past you sometimes needed several incarnations to “enjoy” your own karma. Nowadays you mostly enjoy your karma in the current incarnation. With regard to the term "karma" I want to leave it at this formulation. Karma is an extremely common term and of course, very spiritually aspected. Spirituality is an inherent part of being human because an individual energy like the Holy Soul, consciously takes on the role of a human being, in order to be able to experience this "color" of a spiritual experience. However - it is precisely this factor that is responsible for the fact, that I find THWOL so blatantly relaxing and clear. Yes, you are an individual energy such as a Holy Soul. As this energy you are traveling in the vastness of the Cosmic Universe. This time you have chosen to want to know, to what extent being a human being in such a low dimension, will help you in terms of character. This story is always development than fun and vacation. I'm honestly saying how little I believe, that if you want to have a really good time, you choose planet Earth ... . It's beyond my imagination :-). So you are present in this dimension on planet Earth in the role of a human and make your experience in a "real world". An artificially constructed world, in which there are various religions and "1000 and 1" faiths - including a number of philosophies. They all have their right to exist. It makes sense that all of these religions and faiths exist - because they give you experience. However, if you have a feeling within yourself that “my human existence is my spiritual experience and I am a child of the cosmos”, you can progress well on your Dharma with the help of the Hermetic Law. In fact, you don't need any external earthly conceptualized religious concepts, nor earthly conceptualized belief concepts - of whatever color. You are - at least as a Holy Soul - equipped with a native primal faith, which is an inherent certainty of your soul when travelling. That experience which you have in the role of a human being, is the spiritual experience you aspire to. You carry everything you need for this kind of adventure with you. YOU YOURSELF may feel all of this within you and let the certainty that goes with it, rise up out of your self. As a human being you will certainly deal with the topics of religion and faith come into contact. Perhaps you were already born into a religion through your earthly father and/or your earthly mother. Or else during your life on Earth, you will choose a faith or philosophy, that will serve you in your experiences. And by doing this, you also create a cause in your world. You choose your religion, your beliefs, your philosophy, (hopefully) yourself. And if you take this "whatever" attitude very seriously, you live by their laws and regulations. THIS, is then the effect of whatever decision you make. You are master of yourself - you decide what you draw from the whole. From my point of view, this Sixth Hermetic Legality "The Law of Cause and Effect" is extremely character-building and consciousness-raising. If after a while on planet Earth you consciously recognize the consequences of the causes you have set - regardless of whether you declare the effect as a mistake or a blessing - you will proceed much more carefully and consciously, in the run-up to setting causes. Feeling deeper into yourself - taking a little more time to think through - acting more carefully and consciously, will be enough for you to set harmonious causes for your world. Causes which in Conversely, cause an almost harmonious resonance to yourself. I am formulating for you some simple examples of the practical implications of this law, for all of us who have chosen to live on planet Earth. Cause: The Sun is rising - Effect: It's getting light. Cause: The Sun is setting - Effect: It's slowly getting dark. Cause: You put tea in a pot and pour hot water on it - Effect: Tea is ready! :-). If I now put this Sixth Hermetic Legality "The Law of Cause and Effect" in context with other Hermetic Laws for you, it does not become clearer, what this "Law of Cause and Effect" means. However the whole becomes more colorful, with regard to the correspondence of the individual Hermetic Laws with one another. If you have an intention in your soul - that is the cause. It works in you, you feel something in you idea, or inspiration, or impulse, arise. This is the cause. What changes your intention at the level of your energy, is your vibration. This vibrational adjustment is the effect of your inner process "intention". Or, when you are thinking about a topic – no matter which colour. Thoughts are massive energy. Your train of thought causes the energy of your mind to change and the vibration, to adjust accordingly. These examples correspond - which is not difficult to understand - with the Third Hermetic Legality "The Law of Vibration". When you hear music and the rhythm gets into your blood and you start dancing - then the music is the cause - and your starting to dance, is the effect. Here the Sixth Hermetic Legality “The Law of Cause and Effect” goes in correspondence with the Fifth Hermetic Law “The Law of Rhythm”. This series of examples can be continued indefinitely - but I don't want to do it :-).
As you can perceive, the principle of "cause and effect" is essential on your life path, on your Dharma, on your THWOL, and - cannot be avoided. In this respect it is the same as with our temporary existence as a human being: We are individual energy and children of the cosmos. Accordingly the Hermetic Law has a permanent effect on us in its full range - regardless of whether we are incarnated, or whizzing around purely on an energetic level. And when we are temporarily incarnated as human beings, we also have physical bodies on our cheeks and take good care of our physical bodies, out of self-love and self-responsibility body. That fantastic masterpiece, by which we are connected to the physically constructed world on planet Earth. Above us the sky - and seen even further the Cosmic Universe in its entirety. Under our feet Mother Earth - and around us the seemingly physical world of this dimension. We can't get out of this number. Not from the one that affects us cosmically and not from the one, that affects us physically. In the role of a human being on planet Earth, we are allowed to consider both “The Hermetic Law” and the needs of our physical body, while coping with our Dharma. And all of this in the context of the principle of the Sixth Hermetic Legality "The Law of Cause and Effect". I would like to invite you to take a look at the following Seventh Hermetic Legality “The Law of Gender”. It's one of my two favorite Hermetic Legalities. In the formulation of this Hermetic Law that now follows in the Ninth Chapter, it will certainly work through, why I consider this Seventh Hermetic Law to be good and beneficial. Beneficial if you allow yourself to be beneficial. Do you still have drinks and co "at the start"? Otherwise – you know where the kitchen is :-).
