Brazilian butterfly wings & Chinese climate

[Guest guest]

It is said that the flutter of a butterfly's wings in the Brazilian forest

can affect climate in China. Meaning everything is so interconnected that

any degree of freewill and any random answering of prayers by God would

cause total chaos.

[Even answering prayers of His most loyal bootlickers, besides that would

be favoritism wouldn't it? Sorry, I am digressing here.]

 

The following quote of Nisagardatta seems to say the same thing. Anybody

willing to explain it further to me? All comments, explanations, opinions

will be much appreciated.

 

---------------------

The deed is a fact, the doer a mere concept. Your very language shows that

while the deed is certain, the doer is dubious; shifting responsibility is

a game peculiarly human. Considering the endless list of factors required

for anything to happen, one can only admit that everything is responsible

for everything, however remote. Doership is a myth born from the illusion

of "me" and "mine". I do not have the feeling that I am talking. There is

talking going on, that is all. Do you [really talk]? You hear yourself

talking and you say: I talk. I have no objections to the conventions of

your language, but they distort and destroy reality. A more accurate way of

saying would have been: "There is talking, working, coming, going". For

anything to happen, the entire universe must coincide. It is wrong to

believe that anything in particular can cause an event. Every cause is

universal. Your very body would not exist without the entire universe

contributing to its creation and survival. I am fully aware that things

happen as they happen because the world is as it is. To affect the course

of events, I must bring a new factor into the world and such factor can

only be myself, the power of love and understanding focussed in me. (389)
