But, in addition, God affects us by determining that in the universe certain causes shall bring about certain effects. Cause and effect is, therefore, the operation of God through normal channels rather than through special channels. We have our normal way of acting when we drive a car. We can more or less put it in "automatic pilot" while we carry on a conversation, but when an emergency arises, we take conscious personal control. I have a hunch that God has something for which this automatic pilot will serve as an illustration. That is, His routine way of operating is cause and effect, and He is in control of it, so that when cause and effect affects us, then God is affecting us. That is what the Apostle Paul means in Galatians when he says, "Do not kid yourself -- God is not blind. What you do, you will get paid for." The causes which we have set in operation by our own personal choices will inevitably bring about certain results. But God is involved because God makes cause and effect to work.

It is only in the secondary esoteric sphere of the religious life that we find guarantees and a general attempt to compel faith. To demand guarantees and proofs of faith is to fail to understand its very nature by denying the free, heroic act which it inspires. In really authentic and original religious experience, to the existence of which the history of the human spirit bears abundant witness, faith springs up without the aid of guarantees and compelling proofs, without any external coercion or the use of authority.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My enemy is not the man who wrongs me, but the man who means to wrong me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52413]]></link><description><![CDATA[My enemy is not the man who wrongs me, but the man who means to wrong me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52413</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One player was lost because he broke his nose.
