The world is running on cause and effect.
Free will is the first distortion. Without it the world would not even exist.
Yes. I think cause and effect is indicative of polarity. Free Will is Infinite in possibility. (Kether, the Crown, Violet Ray). The outflowing of Kether then creates Chokmah and Binah, the positive and negative principles of manifestation. The first cause “let there be light” “and then there was the Word” I.e. force which is then constricted by Binah into form (effect). Otherwise that unrestricted force (the Word) dissipates in the void, and the universe doesn’t take form. Kether can also be thought of as the Big Bang (one of it’s symbols is a singular point). There would be no universe/manifestation without the pillars of positive and negative polarity.
Free Will, Love (or force; cause), and Light (or form; effect). Ra’s Teachings are pretty much in agreement with Qabalistic thought. At least that’s how I understand it.
