Universal Law of Cause and Effect

Why You Should Focus on the Universal Law of Cause and Effect


By


cause and effect While the law of attraction is a valuable law to learn its not the only universal law. The law of cause and effect is a powerful law to study. It’s the law of the thinking aware mind. I would rather focus my attention on the law of cause and effect.


When you are aware of the cause of a situation you can alter the cause to gain a new effect. However when all of your attention is on the effect you are stuck.


What’s happening in your life now that you don’t like?


Make a list of all the things which make you feel unhappy and stuck. After you have done this begin to take your mind back as if you are tracking a map of events and begin to examine what situations and action caused it to happen. When you do not know the cause you can never alter the outcome which is the effect.


Stop Fighting the Effect


You fight the effect when you focus on the end results. If you are ill discover what the cause of the illness is before you take chemicals that simply plaster the effect. What could be the cause of that illness? When you find it tackle it by altering the cause. The same is true of money. When you know what causes poverty you can change it at the root. The law of cause and effect puts you in charge of your actions as well as your view of the world. You are not victim but conscious creator. However by only focusing on the effect, and ignoring the cause, you deny your right to create more powerfully.

‘Electronic Thinking Cap’ to unlock human potential?

headset 253x300 Electronic Thinking Cap to unlock human potential? University of Sydney scientists say they’re on the verge of creating an ‘electronic thinking cap’ – a way of stimulating the brain to provide flashes of insight.


Richard Chi and Allan Snyder found that participants who received electrical stimulation of their anterior temporal lobes were three times as likely to reach the fresh insight necessary to solve a difficult, unfamiliar problem than those in a control group.


According to the authors, the problem with ‘flashes of inspiration’ is that human beings have a tendency to rigidly apply strategies and insights that have been successful in the past. And there’s normally a tradeoff between being fast at familiar tasks, and being receptive to novelty.


But Chi and Snyder say that it’s possible to modulate this tradeoff and improve insight by applying transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to the brain. This, they say, is a safe, non-invasive technique that temporarily increases or decreases excitability of populations of neurons.


They therefore used tDCS to manipulate the competition between the left and right hemisphere by inhibiting and/or disinhibiting certain networks, and found a three-fold improvement in problem-solving.

This fits neatly with evidence that the right anterior temporal lobe is associated with insight or novel meaning, and that inhibition of the left anterior temporal lobe can induce a way of thinking that’s less top-down and less influenced by preconceptions.


Chi and Snyder want to carry out further studies involving brain stimulation in combination with neuroimaging. But, they say, they “can imagine a future when non-invasive brain stimulation is briefly employed for solving problems that have evaded traditional cognitive approaches”.
