The Kybalion

Some confusion has arisen in the minds of persons considering this Principle, from the fact that they were unable to explain how one thing could cause another thing-= that is, be the 'creator' of the second thing. As a matter of fact, no 'thing' ever causes or 'creates' another 'thing.' Cause and Effect deals merely with 'events.' An 'event' is that which comes, arrives or happens, as a result or consequent of some preceding event. No event 'creates' another event, but is merely a preceding link in the great orderly chain of events flowing from the creative energy of THE ALL.
