Cause and Effect, Action and Reaction, Sowing and Reaping, Karma, or any other - it may be considered the most fundamental of all phenomena. Put simply, each and every occurrence that transpires is ultimately the outcome of some sequence of Cause and Effect, whether it be on the scale of the cosmos, or on the level of some sub-atomic particle, or anywhere in-between.
“Life is a perpetual instruction in cause and effect. ”
We live in a world of cause and effect.
T. Hary Eker
It is an enduring truth, which can never be altered, that every infraction of the Law of nature must carry its punitive consequences with it. We can never get beyond that range of cause and effect.
Thomas Troward
Shallow men believe in luck, believe in circumstances: it was somebody's name, or he happened to be there at right time, or it was so then, and another day it would have been otherwise. Strong men believe in cause and effect.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing happens by chance or outside the Universal Laws. Every Action (including thought) has a reaction or consequence "We reap what we sow"
Sacred Text
The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:
Thou shall keep thee in peace who’s mind is stayed on Thee.
Isaiah 14: 24, 26, 27
VI. THE PRINCIPLE OF CAUSE AND EFFECT
"Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause; everything happens according to Law; Chance is but a name for Law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the Law."
The Kybalion
This Principle embodies the fact that there is a Cause for every Effect; an Effect from every Cause. It explains that: "Everything Happens according to Law"; that nothing ever "merely happens"; that there is no such thing as Chance; that while there are various planes of Cause and Effect, the higher dominating the lower planes, still nothing ever entirely escapes the Law. The Hermetists understand the art and methods of rising above the ordinary plane of Cause and Effect, to a certain degree, and by mentally rising to a higher plane they become Causers instead of Effects. The masses of people are carried along, obedient to environment; the wills and desires of others stronger than themselves; heredity; suggestion; and other outward causes moving them about like pawns on the Chessboard of Life.
Poem: Thoughts, Words and Deeds are the 3 levels of Creation by Trina Graves
Title Quote: Neale Donald Walsch
It isn’t always easy to see
That we all create our own reality
The things we think and say and do
Will one day for us be true
As much as possible think positively
About all of your life, this is the first key
To unlock the door to your wishes and dreams
Positive thinking is what it seems
At first its hard to look on the bright side
When it seems life is taking you for a ride
But the more that you can appreciate
The more your life will begin to look great
Controlling your words is the second key
With positive thinking this comes naturally
If all that your thinking is good and kind
Words of love and praise you will easily find
Always speaking the truth with love in your heart
Sometimes will be difficult when you first start
But persevere and you will eliminate hate
There’s no better way to communicate
If love guides your thoughts and words easily
Then your actions will show love effortlessly
It’s often said ‘action speaks louder than word’
So do everything with love and you will be heard
Whatever you consistently think say and do
Put together will create your world for you
Be love and find the good in all things
You’ll be amazed at the peace and joy that this brings

Omair Tariq of Cart.com aims to challenge and offer a serious alternative to Amazon and Shopify. The first end-to-end e-commerce platform has raised $140 million in just twelve months of operating. Omair Tariq’s mission: to disrupt a $1 trillion industry.
Since launching in November 2020, Cart.com now employs over 850 people and has over 3000 brands using its platform. This represents just the latest impressive development in Tariq’s accomplished career in retail and e-commerce.
Growing up in Dubai, Tariq initially wanted to be an astrophysicist from a young age. So he figured he’d have to learn physics and applied mathematics in order to achieve his dream. With limited education opportunities in Dubai, Tariq left to study Mathematics at the University of Cambridge. He later earned a BA in Finance from the University of Houston and an MBA from Rice University.
Before moving to the UK to study, Tariq spent some time in Pakistan as a fifteen year old. An extreme experience there laid the foundations for his philosophy: to count your blessings and take life by the horns. Two men kidnapped Tariq and his cousin at gunpoint, using their car to conduct a series of robberies before deciding to kill him and his cousin.
With an incredible stroke of luck, their gun malfunctioned and they ran away, leaving Tariq and his cousin traumatized, but alive. Tariq says it changed him as a person forever, and he came away from the experience with some important life lessons: “1) You shouldn’t feel entitled for anything in life. 2) Nothing is for granted. 3) It can always get worse. 4) Life is short. Do something with it.” The drive and humility inspired in Tariq from such an early age has now come to fruition with his latest venture. Cart.com proves to be a serious contender in the e-commerce space that has until now been completely dominated by Amazon and Shopify.
The world’s first end-to-end e-commerce platform, Cart.com aims to help brands scale seamlessly and connect them to their customers more deeply. It empowers brands to compete in the big leagues: “We started this business because we know how hard it can be to grow one. We’re making economies of scale available to brands of any size. Our platform puts big tools in the hands of big dreamers,” says Tariq.
GUESS, Dollar General and GNC all use Cart.com, along with over 3000 other companies. With this popularity, the platform continues to grow as a viable alternative to the other e-commerce behemoths. Raising $140 million in just 12 months confirms Tariq’s adherence to his own advice that “Life is short. Do something with it.”

Meditation
My Thought Is Inspired by the Most High And the Lord, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.
DEUTERONOMY 31:8
We should believe that God is the invisible Partner in our lives and affirm that Divine Love goes before us and prepares the way. We should permit ourselves to be guided for there is Something within us, deep at the center of our being, which knows what we ought to do and how we ought to do it.
AFFIRM: I am listening to the Divine Presence and permitting It to direct my path. Thoughts and ideas will come to me and I shall be led to follow through on them in my everyday life. I shall be impelled into right action. I know how to meet every situation in calm trust and with the complete conviction that Divine Intelligence is guiding me. I wish to do only that which is constructive and life-giving; therefore, I know that everything I do will prosper. Everything I touch will be quickened into a newness of life and action. Every constructive purpose in my life will be fulfilled. I have a deep sense of inner calm, a complete assurance that all is well. The same Intelligence that governs the planets in their course is now acting as a Law of Good in my personal experience and in the experiences of everyone around me. I do thank God for this increase that is mine. I do accept Divine guidance. I do believe that I am in silent partnership with all the Power, all the Presence, and all the Love there is. I place my life entirely and completely under the protection and guidance of this Power, and I rest in complete assurance that everything I do will prosper.

Love is the energising elixir of the Universe, the cause and effect of all Harmony.

Benediction
Mind is the master power that moulds and makes
And man is mind and ever more he takes
The tool of thoughts, and shaping as he wills,
Brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills.
He thinks in secret, and it comes to pass:
Environment is but a looking glass.
James Allen
