School II · Lesson 11 of 15
Cause & Effect: The Planes of Causation
Core idea: "luck" is often a cause you didn't see, and causes run on more than one level.
The Lesson
The Kybalion's sixth principle: "Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause." It adds: "Chance is but a name for Law not recognized."
The first half is the backbone of science: things happen for reasons, even when we don't know them yet. The second half is more debatable. Physics does allow real randomness at the smallest scales, and in daily life plenty of events are beyond anyone's knowing. But as a habit of mind, it's powerful: before you call something luck, look for the causes.
