The Will To Receive

as received 6/13/08:

Problems arise with intentional manifestation when we confuse cause with effect. The egoic mind looks outside the self and perceives an event, situation, or circumstance and reacts to it. The ego always sees the outer reality as the cause and it’s reaction the effect.

In truth, the outer manifest world is always the effect. Whatever is perceived is an effect and it’s cause is always internal. When the ego reacts to an effect as if it were the cause, it creates a projection loop and recreates the situation over and over again within it’s awareness.
