Law of Cause and Effect and Kindness

Share it Please
To see this week's video on YouTube, click here.

Dr. Mary Tumkin, a pioneer in New Thought (the teaching of the Center for Spiritual Living and other metaphysical organizations) described the Law of Cause and Effect as “the horse pill of metaphysics,” a large idea that is hard to swallow.

The Law of Cause and Effect states that everything is connected, that choices have consequences, and that what we hold in our consciousness has a way of becoming our reality.

When things are going well, this Law is easy to celebrate. When things are not going well, it is more difficult to digest. And, it has been the case that people suffering setbacks have been made to feel poorly because the implication is that they are solely responsible for their circumstances because of what is in their consciousness. This is an oversimplification of the Law of Cause and Effect and does not take into account the consciousness of the group mind which creates the society we live in with all its challenges and inequalities, as well as it’s compassion and kindness.

Metaphysics is not to be used to blame people for the circumstances they are working through. If anything, metaphysics ought to inspire us to love, care for, and help those who are facing challenges.

Warmly,

I have been through the book three times over three years, and am starting it again. This is not because the material in the book is not working, but because it is working so well!
