@liberty84,
Well, plainly speaking it's a strict adherence to Cause and Effect.

@liberty84,
Determinism is the philosophical proposition that every event, including human cognition and behavior, decision and action, is causally determined by an unbroken chain of prior occurrences. Determinism may also be defined as the thesis that there is at any instant exactly one physically possible future. With numerous historical debates, many varieties and philosophical positions on the subject of determinism exist from traditions throughout the world.

@liberty84,
America works as well as it does to the extent that we are free. It does not matter if you think you are a Divine being or a worm of the dust. We are free to think and do what ever we want. We are also personally responsibly for our thoughts and actions.

America fails when it does not hold us responsible for our actions and tell us it is someone else's fault.

Freedom and Personal Responsible are one and the same one can not be separated from the other. This is the essence of cause and effect.

You are free to believe me our not believe me and you will experience the results accordingly. Work with the Spiritual Laws, which are the same as the Laws of Physics and you will lead a life of Bliss. Try and think and work against the laws and you will experience something less. It is just that simple.

Namaste!
