2 Beyond Cause and Effect

We live in a make it happen world. We admire people who persist in the face of impossible odds. They finally achieve success after years of struggle.

One definition of happiness is overcoming of obstacles.

We cheer on as Indiana Jones fights a slew of bad guys in order to do good and reach the chosen goal.

We love to watch sporting events where the competitors are close matches. We aren’t so interested when one competitor is completely destroying the other one — even if our favorite is winning.

We admire hard work that overcomes impossible odds. We cheer.

We want to know what steps we can take to achieve a specific result.

This could be called The Linear World. This is a straight line world where we do specific things in a specific sequence in order to achieve a specific result.

We’ve taken comfort in this notion. We can do specific things to achieve a specific result.

As a systems architect and software developer, I take comfort in the predictability of computer programming and mathematics.

This works sometimes in some areas of life, but not in all circumstances, all of the time.

One example is human relationships. We can do the same thing and get different results with different people.

Another example is health care. Cures work on one person and not on another person.

The Nonlinear World

There is a whole dimension, a different realm of life experience, beyond the Law of Cause and Effect.

This is the nonlinear world. It is the world of Faith, Love, Joy, Beauty, Bliss, and Ecstasy.

Logic and control can get you to the point where you’re knocking on the doors of the nonlinear world. But they can’t open those doors for you.

If you want to enter this world, you can set your intention and surrender control.

You’re surrendering control to the Invisible — the Divine.

Blissercises™ and blisswriting in general, can help you cross this threshold.

You can simply let go of control for twenty minutes when you’re doing blissercises.

You can return to controlling after the twenty minutes.

You’ll probably find that the world is still okay.
