Welcome, 

If you are in no need of improvement, consider stopping here. Further, if you live within a practical belief system that brings your life great meaning and order, consider stopping here. Otherwise, proceed, but know that the heart of Causalism can never be conveyed in writing alone.

Woven into humanity is a dire yearning for improvement. As with anything powerful, there is potential for destruction. Today, improvement powers the world. However, this energizing concept of improvement rests on a belief in free will –  the idea that individuals make their choices. This dynamic of improvement has led to material prosperity along with delusions and suffering.

Causalists work to radically rid themselves of this belief in free will for the sake of emotional and soulful harmonization with reality as it is.

In the view of Causalism, you have never "made" a single "decision" in your life. You did only as you could have done — following the one path your biology and nature permitted. Like life itself, this is a hard view to face and accept.

Our practice consists of two commitments:

1. We work to replace our default belief in free will for Causalism as the lens to view ourselves, others, and all of existence.

2. We commit solely to emotional and soulful harmonization with reality as it is – not material gain, escape, or status-seeking.

These commitments are as powerful as they are simple. 

One is an egg and the other a sperm from which life can come. 

They place reason above all else.

They also highlight a divergence from common free will ideology. Though claiming to honor the 'freedom' of the individual, many cathedrals of free will dominate their followers by proposing conclusions, first, and instructions for how to think and act, second. Causalism does the opposite. Individuals first consider the two commitments and then act according to conclusions that naturally follow.

When starting a practice of Causalism, individuals quickly see how blatantly and unthinkingly the world depends on a belief in free will. One may observe how free will appears in language and is unquestionably taken as true. The free will ubiquity may begin to be humorous. Depending on how far you go, you may see your reality crumble and wondrously illuminate, simultaneously.

Attempting to adopt this lens is challenging. It may change how you view your past – and the future of your life. 

We could say we are glad you have made it this far. But truthfully, it is our gratitude to the causes that have brought you here to question yourself and reality. 

How we live day-to-day is inherently and inevitably dictated by the beliefs we exist within. 

Living with this awareness is the heart of Causalism.
