The real question isn't "Is there anything without a cause?" it is "Is there anything that isn't both a cause and an effect?" Chew on that for awhile. It's a completely different way of looking at things. Buddhists and Indians both think that this foundational thought is the first step to understanding the universe at large.-You seem to be saying that cause and effect are two parts of the same thing, not a relationship, but a unity. That suggests that cause and effect as an infinite regress does not exist and that cause and effect do not have a temporal relationship, or another way of putting it, part of an arrow of time. Does this mean that I exist at the same time with the inital cause of the infinite regress?
