There is one cause only, one's own consciousness (the I AM), and no devil beside it: 'I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things' (Isaiah 45:7). If I am hurt I am self-hurt; the darkness and the joy in my world are both of my making, and no cause can be found outside my own consciousness.

Isaiah 45:7 | I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things
Isaiah 45:5 | I AM the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me
Own wordings
You cannot say that a devil causes some things and God others
If there is darkness in my world, I created the darkness and the gloom and the depression
There is no one but this I AMness that does all
You cannot find a cause outside of your own consciousness
All things exist in your consciousness, be they love or hate. Nothing comes from without
the greatest tyranny in the world is the belief in the secondary cause

Not a thing is brought into being by any power outside itself. It is sustained by the activity of the one who brought it into being. So, if I brought in poverty it can only remain as long as I am conscious of being poor.
