Hidden cause of things
Maebh and Stiófán Hidden cause of things
Maebh a beautiful middle-aged woman with a tall stature and long, red curly hair loved to walk through the Sunday market. One May Sunday morning dressed in an emerald green dress she was strolling through the medieval Irish village close to where she lived. When she stopped at a market stall to look at some books, and soon found herself chatting with the vendor, a kind and soft-spoken man in his late fifties called Stíofán. He was dressed in heavy wool clothing and had a short beard. Maebh was searching through the books on the stand when she came across an old leather bound book that caught her eye. She scanned through its pages, lost in thought, when she asked herself out loud, “What is the hidden cause of all things?”
Stiófán, who had been watching Maebh curiously, took a step forward and replied in a warm and friendly tone, “Ah, that is a question that has been asked by many, my lady. The hidden cause of all things can be elusive, but it is said to be the underlying force that explains the existence and workings of the universe.”
Maebh was a curious woman who always wanted to know the reasons behind everything. She had a thirst for knowledge that led her to explore different aspects of life and the world around her. So it wasn’t surprising that her interest piqued, and she asked the vendor to tell her more. He explained that there was a secret force that governed the universe and that by understanding it, she could control her own life and find peace and happiness. She was intrigued by this idea and decided to buy the old book to find out more about it. This simple looking book led Maebh to ask more and more questions about herself and so she began her journey to answer her questions by reading books, attending local lectures organised by Stiófán and meditating.
She learned that the hidden cause of things was not just a physical force, but a spiritual one. It was an energy that was present in all living things and was the source of all life and creation.
She learned that this energy could be accessed through meditation, and so she decided to try it. She found a quiet place, closed her eyes and focused on her breath. She let go of all her thoughts and feelings, and just allowed herself to be present in the moment.
After a few minutes, Maebh felt a warm energy flowing through her body. It was as if a light was shining from within, filling her with a sense of peace and calm. She felt as though she had connected with the hidden cause of things and was in harmony with the universe. Grabbing a journal she had stored away she began writing down her experience and feelings in the journal, which she has done everyday since then.
Maebh continued to meditate every day and soon she began to notice changes in her life. She felt more confident and in control of her thoughts and emotions. She was able to make better decisions and was less affected by stress and anxiety. She felt as though she had found a new sense of purpose and meaning. These experiences were not so clear at first but when she started to look back in her journal she realised how far she had come.
One September, Monday morning, Maebh had a profound experience. She was meditating when suddenly, she felt as though she was transported to another dimension. She saw the world in a different way, as if everything was connected and had a deeper meaning. She realized that the hidden cause of things was not just a force, but a presence, and that it was always with her, guiding and supporting her.
From that day on, Maebh felt a deep sense of peace and happiness. She knew that she had found the hidden cause of things and that it was helping her to live a better life. She was grateful for the experience and wanted to share it with others.
Maebh began to teach meditation and soon many people within her local community were experiencing the same benefits that she had. They found peace, happiness, and a deeper understanding of the world around them.
The meditation that Maebh recommended is called mindfulness meditation. It involves focusing on the present moment and letting go of all thoughts and distractions. To practice this meditation, find a quiet place and sit comfortably, light a white candle and turn of the lights. Close your eyes and focus on your breath. Let go of all your thoughts and feelings and just be present in the moment. Repeat this practice every day and you will soon begin to experience the “hidden cause of things” for yourself.
Maebh’s experience with the hidden cause of things was a transformative one. She learned that there is a spiritual force that governs the universe, and that by connecting with it, she could live a happier, more fulfilling life. She discovered that the key to this connection was mindfulness meditation and that by practicing it, anyone can experience the same benefits.

Self-mastery
It was a wet day in Maebh’s beautiful village, it had been raining somedays now, the surrounding green forests and rolling hills were awash with rain water and gleaming in the spring morning sun. As always she had a smile on her face as she worked in her carpentry shop. There was a knock on the heavy oak door and when she opened it to her great surprise it was her dear mentor and friend Stíofán standing there with a great, caring smile on his face.
Maebh excitedly brought him inside and offered him a cup of tea and some fresh soda bread heavily covered with rich fresh salted butter.
Maebh showed him some of her recent projects which he like so much although he could convince her that they were masterful. Maebh told him that she wanted to master herself and her Wood working skills. The old man smiled and said, “Self-mastery is the key to unlocking your full potential and living a life of purpose and joy.”
Maebh was curious and asked the druid to explain further. Stíofán said, “Self-mastery is the process of gaining control over your thoughts, emotions, and actions. When you master yourself, you become the master of your life. You are able to make conscious choices that align with your values and goals.”
Maebh was fascinated by the old man’s words and asked him to show her how to master herself. He said, “The first step to self-mastery is to become aware of your thoughts and emotions. This requires you to pay attention to what you are thinking and feeling. Then, you can start to take control of your thoughts and emotions, rather than letting them control you.”
Maebh followed the kind man’s advice and started paying attention to her thoughts and emotions. At first, it was difficult to recognize her thoughts and emotions, but with time, she became more and more skilled at it. She noticed that she was becoming more self-aware and was able to take control of her thoughts and emotions.
Stíofán also taught Maebh the importance of taking action. He said, “Your thoughts and emotions are important, but taking action is what makes them come to life. When you take action, you turn your dreams into reality.”
Maebh as always took his words to heart and started taking action towards her goals. She was amazed at how much more confident and in control she felt. She also noticed that she was attracting more success and happiness into her life by focusing on the small daily things rather than constantly focusing on the big picture, which before seemed so far away.
On a cool Sunday morning she sat down with a brew and her journal in hand, as she was reflecting on the past months in her journal she had a powerful realization. She realized that she was the master of her life and that anything was possible. She felt as if a weight had been lifted from her shoulders and she was filled with a sense of freedom and joy.
Maebh thanked Stíofán for his guidance the following spring when they met again. Stiófán could clearly see that Maebh was more confident and in control of her life than ever before. He asked her to join him with a group of young villagers and share her story and teach them how to master themselves.
In no time, the village was filled with confident and self-assured individuals. People started to take control of their lives and live with purpose and joy, there was no longer a need to blame others on misfortune. Both Young and old learned and prospered in their lives thanks to Maeve’s caring words.
Here is a nice meditation to help you on your journey towards self-mastery.
Sit or lie comfortably in a dark room with a white candle burning. Close your eyes and take a deep breath. Focus on your breath and feel the air entering and leaving your body. Let go of any thoughts or worries and simply focus on your breath. Be patient it does take more than two minutes.
Imagine a bright light inside you. See this light growing stronger and brighter with each breath. This light represents your inner power and strength. By focusing on this light, you can tap into your inner power and master yourself.
Please try it for yourself and have a nice day
