That is absolutely the case. We have been using causality in a purely horizontal sense here - temporal causality. I suspect that the "relationship with this Essence" of which you speak, as something "beyond Causality", is actually what I and others would term "vertical causality" - a non-temporal causal connection between you and this essence. Our intellect - our knowing faculty - has a vertical nature, whereas our reason is horizontal insofar as it is discursive, from A to B to C.
"beyond Causality", is actually what I and others would term "vertical causality" - a non-temporal causal connection between you and this essence.
I’ve conceived of this vertical causality you’re talking about as the “spiritual axis”, and it is indeed a very compelling modality for interfacing with the Essence.
It’s by no means the only one - I suspect it’s truly limitless beyond our wildest imaginings - but it’s particularly useful as an intersection between our “Eternal Selves” (vertical) and the “Conditions of Existence” within which we find ourselves (horizontal).
Of course, everything that happens here - our whole lives and the destiny of the entire universe - is bound by and subject to Horizontal Causality ... but that just isn’t what’s important about any of it.
It’s a construct, and a temporary one.
