Me too. The big problem that I have with cause is that it only takes
place within time:  it takes time for a cause to become an effect.
The divine Monad is outside of space-time, so how can it cause
anything? Yet somehow it does.

This "agreement" is called duality, which give  rise to the manifested
worlds.
