What are the causal and the acausal?
The Numinous Way conceives as the Cosmos as having two fundamental aspects – or two types of Time and Space. There is causal Time and causal Space, and acausal Time and acausal Space. The ordinary, non-living, matter/energy of the Cosmos exists in causal Space-Time. We also exist in causal Space-Time – but, because we are alive, we also have, within us, a certain type of acausal energy. That is, we are a nexion, a connexion, between causal Space-Time and acausal Space-Time. All life, because it is life, has a certain type of acausal energy – that is, it presences acausal energy, in the causal, in causal Space-Time. Acausal energy cannot be created, or destroyed – it just changes the manner of its presencing, or its “strength”, its amount. The acausal energy which we possess, as temporal, causal-living beings, as an individual, as a causal nexion, is just one type of acausal energy.
