Our existence is limited to four dimensions, so we perceive things through the scope of time, including cause -> effect. On the level of higher dimensions, it's difficult for us to perceive how cause -> effect would play out, but it's similar to how you would influence a drawing of a 2D stick figure. You could draw a house next to the stick figure, and that would cause the house to exist, but to the stick figure it would only perceive a single line with a start and finish on 1 dimension. To that stick figure, cause and effect would be perceived as the two points on the line, though your four dimensional pencil caused it to exist on a different dimensional level.
