Jesus: I Speak to You Again
Chapter 64
The Principle of Cause-Action-Consequence in Creation
I teach you all with the same love—both those who are fair and those who are unfair. But those who are unfair often ignore my teaching and continue to follow the external temptations that their minds chase. They disregard my words and refuse to believe them. But I know what I speak of, for I existed before this world, before all the other worlds of my universe were created. I created all these worlds and the life upon them, and I know how life is meant to develop. Even the hardships that torment your world now are temporary. They will be overcome because I, together with the Father, manage this entire universe. Within it, the principle of cause-action-consequence is constantly at work, arranging everything in order.
Some of you are beginning to understand that the use of drugs, weapons, alcohol, tobacco, and gambling has led to painful consequences, even the loss of many lives. Yet before experiencing these losses, many ignored the manifestation of this principle of cause-action-consequence in the lives of individuals, nations, races, and humanity as a whole.
If someone ignores this principle, it doesn’t mean it ceases to operate. Just as closing your eyes during the day doesn’t make daylight disappear, nothing can stop the operation of this principle in all creation—not even the Father. Stopping this principle would destroy the harmony of creation, halt its development, and undo the Father Himself. But such a thing is impossible because the Father is alive, and He is the First Source and Center. He is the Source of love, pouring it throughout creation, and He is also the Source of free will for all personalities. He grants free will to all—from the highest to the lowest—and each personality can absorb the Father’s love to the extent that it opens up to it.
Receiving and feeling the Father’s love within you is the result of your free will—a gift from the Father. Your free will is the cause, your choice to open up to the Father is the action, and the consequence is feeling the Father’s love within yourself.
This principle of cause-action-consequence operates continuously throughout creation, forming an unbreakable chain. After performing any action, take a moment to reflect on its cause. Why did you act as you did? What motivated your behavior—love, ego, fear, lack of knowledge, violence, wisdom, duty, family, the desire for career or wealth, jealousy, mercy, creativity, or something else? Even actions you consider automatic, like pulling your hand away from a hot surface, follow this principle. The cause is the pain signal sent by your brain, the action is removing your hand, and the consequence is avoiding further injury. This same principle applies to everything—each cause leads to an action, which in turn leads to a consequence, and the cycle continues endlessly.
No matter how small or insignificant a cause, action, or consequence may seem, they are all connected within the broader framework of creation. Even your thoughts—though invisible to the eye—are causes that lead to actions and consequences within your own being. The vibrations of your consciousness are real, and they radiate outward, affecting not only your immediate environment but also the larger creation. When your thoughts are of a low frequency, they hinder the spiritual development of millions of your brethren, delaying the full manifestation of the Father’s love among humanity.
It is your actions against the law of the Father’s love that generate so much suffering and turmoil—both intellectual and physical. By reinforcing this principle of cause-action-consequence with the low vibrations of selfish actions, motivated by profit and greed, you will never find inner peace—whether you are at the top, exploiting others, or at the bottom, feeling oppressed. Neither side manifests the Father’s love in their daily lives, in their thoughts, hearts, or souls. You lack the spiritual connection that would unite you as brothers and sisters under the Father.
Some of you pursue wealth by exploiting others, while others suffer under this exploitation, struggling to survive. You do not see each other as brothers and sisters because you have not discovered the Father within yourselves. You have not experienced His love. You are like orphans, lost without the Father in your hearts, even though you may speak of Him with nice words. But words are just symbols. The real experience of the Father’s love, felt personally by each of you, is a living relationship with the whole environment, with the Father’s other children, with creation, and with the nature that surrounds you.
