Cause and Effect
What, in the scope of reality, truly causes anything? What appears to be a cause of an event in most instances is not the sole cause, but it is, rather, the conceptual cause. Paradoxically in the true reality, there is no cause and effect and no duality. Nothing causes anything else; everything is an expression of its own essence and is self-existent. However, life as we know it is not the true reality but is rather a reality based on ego, duality, cause, and effect, and it is influenced by our perception and ego.

Integrity
Excerpt from "The Strength in Knowing"
Empirical knowledge is one of the critical ingredients of integrity, followed by truth, which is not necessarily moral, hence the evaluation of the truth. Empirical knowledge, coupled with the evaluation of truth for determination of its morality, equals factual righteousness and subsequently perpetuates integrity.
With peace,
Alan

Symbolism
FYI,
I have had many people ask why I use a Hummingbird and Dragonfly at the beginning and the end of chapters in my book The Strength in Knowing...
I use a Hummingbird at the beginning of each chapter...
Hummingbirds, are considered to be symbols of peace, love and happiness, furthermore, they are held sacred for their tireless energy and apprehension.
The Hummingbird symbolizes eternal joy and the essence and Nectar of Life. It's a symbol for accomplishing that which seems impossible and will teach one how to find the wonder of carefree living from ones own life situations.
The purpose of using a Dragonfly and the end of each chapter...
The dragonfly, symbolizes change in almost every part of the world and also change in the perspective of self realization; the kind of change that has a source in emotional and mental maturity and the understanding of a deeper sense of life...
Take care,
Alan
