Reversing the Law of Cause and Effect

Whenever we discovered something fundamental about the nature of reality, it seems we couldn't resist calling it a "law." In all the disciplines from physics, to philosophy, to theology, psychology or chemistry, we have a range of such "laws"; the law of Gravity, the Laws of Thermodynamics, the Natural Law, the Law of Conservation of Energy, the Laws of Motion, and most recently in the buzz phrase, "The Law of Attraction."

In the normal sense of the word, a "law" is passed by some authoritative body such as Congress or a Parliament. It comes into effect on a due day, and presumably can be subsequently altered or abrogated.

The "laws" of nature have nothing at all in common with such usage. Presumably gravity, for instance, worked fine long before anyone decided to stick a label on it. And even the most diehard proponents of the view of God as some sort of human being enlarged; have never suggested that it would be possible for God at some point to abrogate the Law of Gravity or the Second Law of Thermodynamics. All down the centuries the natural law traditions have viewed the "laws" of nature, not as regulations promulgated by God acting as some form of cosmic legislator, but as reflections of something in the divine nature itself, and therefore unchangeable as long as God remains God.

The Bridge

Recently, I was invited to speak to a group of physicians and nurses at the University of Miami Medical School about holistic healing and The LifeLine Technique - a holistic healing system that uses the power of Infinite Love & Gratitude to harmonize emotions buried within the subconscious mind that cause symptoms and stress.

Part of me that was tentative about speaking at a medical institution. For most of my career the western medical establishment had been vehemently opposed to holistic forms of treatment. Still, I accepted the invitation. The night before the talk I had a dream of rolling landscapes, rivers, and a horizon that extended to infinity. Most striking were the bridges—all types of bridges connecting disparate locations, resulting in effortless transit and flow for all inhabitants. When I awoke, I knew why I was speaking.

I arrived during a lunch sponsored by a pharmaceutical company promoting a pill to lower cholesterol. Everyone was indulging in diet Cokes, pasta, and pastries, a diet helping create a market for this pill! But I refused to focus on the divergent views that have kept the holistic and allopathic communities at bay.
