Law of Perpetual Transmutation

Next in our series on the Universal Laws is the Law of Perpetual Transmutation. Don’t worry! It isn’t as difficult as it sounds.

Simply stated, the LPT provides that energy is constantly moving into and out of physical form and that our thoughts can affect this process. Transmutation merely means changing from one form into another.

As you know by now, all things are energy and the rate of vibration of this energy determines the forms it takes. Only within the past twenty years or so has this process been scientifically demonstrated but it is a concept understood by many people for more than 100 years. Like everything else, our thoughts are energy and this energy precedes materialization. I am sure that you learned in school that energy cannot be created or destroyed. It changes forms – transmutes.

Edison’s invention of the light bulb was preceded by his idea of a light bulb. Napoleon Hill’s book, Think and Grow Rich came after he had the idea to write a book. This does not mean that Edison or Hill just had an idea and suddenly a light bulb or book appeared. Edison’s numerous failures and determination not to give up are well documented. Both products required a lot of work (among other things) but began with an idea or thought.

It is generally accepted that the Universe is a creative force of unlimited power and infinite energy. In The Science of Getting Rich, Wallace Wattles referred to this force of energy as “formless substance” and “formless stuff.” Others prefer such designations as the Infinite, the Universe, the collective subconscious or God. By whatever name you prefer, there can be little argument that this creative force exists.

Our challenge is to determine how we can influence this creative force to materialize what we desire. In our discussion of the Law of Attraction, we noted that we attract to ourselves that which we think about – positively or negatively.

The same is true of the LPT. Our negative thoughts can create negative reality just as they can create positive reality. Have you observed that people who say “I never win anything” never win anything? A more familiar term for this process is Self-Fulfilling Prophesy. There is so much overlap in the Universal Laws that some contend that there is only one law – the Law of Attraction – and all others are components of it. It really is difficult to distinguish between the LOA, the LPT and the Law of Expectation, i.e., we get what we expect.

We don’t need to worry about whose list is more correct or what law if part of some other law. We just need to understand how to use the laws to our benefit.

Before working on creating positive results, we need to eliminate negative results. Watch your “self-talk.” Don’t make negative statements about your ability, luck, appearance or anything else. Try to remove all negatives even when trying to be positive. By that, I mean don’t make statements like “I am tired of being poor” or “I don’t want to stay in this lousy job.” Your subconscious, and through it the Universe, hears “I tired, poor” and “stay in lousy job” and does its best to comply. Always state what you want; not what you don’t want.

As long as our thoughts are going to create reality anyway, lets make it as good a reality as we can.

Law of Deliberate Creation

In this series on the Universal Laws, I first gave a general description of universal law and last week, I discussed the best known of these laws – the Law of Attraction. Not only is the LOA the best known, some would argue that it is THE universal law and all others are sub-laws under it.

As a quick review, the LOA states that we attract to ourselves whatever we spend our mental energy on. For example, if we think about love, we attract love into our lives. However, if we think about our debt, we attract more debt. The LOA is totally neutral when it comes to whether the circumstances being attracted are positive or negative.

Assuming we want to attract positive things, how can we use the LOA to attract “good” and avoid “bad”? This brings us to the second law (in my list, anyway) – the Law of Deliberate Creation.

Unlike the LOA which is in effect at all times whether we are conscious of it or not, the Law of Deliberate Creation is exactly what it says – we deliberately work to create that which we desire.

Since it is our subconscious that is in direct contact with the universal energy force (God, the universe, collective subconscious, etc.), we must convince our subconscious to create the energy force which will result in obtaining our goal. For ease of description, let’s assume that your goal is a new automobile although it could be more money, better job, loss of weight, physical healing or almost anything else.

Let me make it clear right now. I am not talking about conjuring up a puff of smoke which will dissipate to reveal a new automobile. The Universe gives us those things we desire by providing people, opportunities, ideas, etc. that we must use to attain our goals. This does not mean that we couldn’t suddenly get an unexpected check in the mail. There have been documented cases where this exact thing has happened but we should not fail to be on the lookout for more conventional answers to our desires.

OK, lets get into the details. The subconscious receives information for various sources including the six senses. The more we send messages on what we want to “deliberately create” to the subconscious, the more rapidly the desire will be fulfilled. The following techniques have been documented to substantially facilitate the Law of Deliberate Creation.

1. Meditation. If we meditate at least 15 minutes per day on what it is we desire, the subconscious gets the message that we are serious. Through meditation, we can lower our brain wave vibration from the Beta state (14 – 30 cps) to the Alpha state (7 – 14 cps) where conscious thought is translated into a form more relevant to the subconscious. This same state can be created by hypnosis or self-hypnosis. While in the Alpha state, think about the automobile you want. What model, color, features, etc.

2. Visualization – Imagine the car sitting in your driveway or you driving down the highway. Find a photo of the type of auto you want and post it where you will see it often. Make a “vision board” with pictures of the things you want whether it is an automobile or yourself when you were 20 pounds lighter. Fix that image in your mind and recall it often – even you are not in the presence of the photo itself.

3. Emotion – Imagine how you will feel in that new car. Imagine the pride and comfort. Visualize how happy your family will be. If you have difficulty getting emotional over an object, there is a technique to “hijack” an emotion. Think of something that makes you feel really good. Do you have a favorite piece of music that gets your feet tapping? Play the music while visualizing the car you want. Do you have a favorite vacation memory? Imagine your desired automobile in that scene.

4. Affirmation – Say out loud something like “I really like my new automobile.” Or “I am glad to have a new Mercedes.” The affirmations must be stated in a form that implies your wish has been granted. The subconscious creates the reality that it believes exists already. Write these affirmations down and read them aloud often. This combines the visual input with the auditory. Even if you memorize the statement, look at the words anyway.

5. Repetition – The more often you do 1 – 4 above, the sooner you will achieve your goal. You can think about your goal while doing other things. It is like humming a tune while working. The more you do it, the less you have to consciously think about it. Through repetition, it becomes like that commercial jingle that you can’t get out of your head.

6. Combination – As much as possible, combine the above techniques. Visualize the car while meditating. Feel the emotion of accomplishment while stating your affirmations.

For many years, when I heard about the LOA or other universal laws, I thought it was just a motivational concept to get you to be more dedicated, to work harder. It has only been in the last ten years that I realized that these were actual scientific laws of human energy.

I urge you to try out these techniques. Set your goal relatively low at first until you are convinced that it works. Knowing what to establish as a goal is a subject for another day.

Do not pre-determine how the goal is to be achieved but trust God, the universe, or whatever term you chose to use; to do its work for you in the way that is best for you.

A philosopher from the last century once said,

You don’t always get what you want,

No, you don’t always get what you want;

But if you try it sometime, you just might find

That you get what you need.

Law of Attraction

In last week’s blog, I discussed the Universal Laws of Spiritual Energy. Although there is no universal agreement as to what they are or even how many, I have decided to select some of the most commonly agreed upon and discuss them over the next several weeks.

Before I begin with the most well known law – the Law of Attraction – I want to reiterate the importance of this and the other universal laws. The basis of all existence, seen and unseen, human and material, biological and mineral is vibrational energy. If you can affect the vibrations, you can affect reality itself.

Being spiritual or vibrational beings, we can, knowingly or unknowingly, create what we want as well as what we don’t want by our very thoughts. Our brains are transmitters as well as receivers. To have better control over our own destiny, we have to learn the proper way to use the universal laws to our own advantage.

Like the law of gravity and other “scientific” laws, the laws of spiritual energy apply equally to all people, all places and for all time.

These laws have been written about and talked about for thousands of years. This is not some “new age” concept. The book of Proverbs says, “As a man thinketh, so he shall be” and the Buddha is quoted as saying, “What you have become is what you have thought.” There are other similar quotes from such notable people as Aristotle, Jesus and others but I will not take the space to quote them here.

During the “New Thought” era of the late 19^th and early 20^th centuries, there were many books written that were based specifically on what we now call the law of attraction. Probably the first use of the term was by William Walker Atkinson in 1906 with his book “Thought Vibration or The Law of Attraction in the Thought World.” Other familiar works are “As a Man Thinketh” by James Allen and “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill.

More recently, the movie “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne has made the LOA more popular.

OK, finally I get around to defining the Law of Attraction. I have read long, detailed definitions and short “bumper sticker” definitions but a good definition is: The Law of Attraction is the Universal Law which ensures that whatever energy is broadcast out into the universe is joined by (or attracted to) energies that are of an equal or harmonious frequency, resonance or vibration. More simply put – we attract to ourselves whatever we think about.

We both know that it really isn’t that simple but it does describe how it works. If it were that simple, every sixteen year old boy would be surrounded by beautiful, naked women. Truth is, for the LOA to work, you have to think in the “right” way.

Our connection with the universe (or God, if you prefer) is through our subconscious mind. Therefore, it is the “thoughts” of our subconscious, not our conscious mind, that puts the law of attraction into effect.

Many publications have been written on how to best influence your subconscious to broadcast the “right” thoughts. Two of my favorites are “How to Use the Law of Attraction to Succeed in Life” by Michael Lee and “How to Get Maximum Results From the Law of Attraction” by Alan Tutt. If you would like a free copy of either of these or any book mentioned in this blog, just let me know and I will send you a copy.

It is not the purpose of this article to go into too much detail about these laws but just to give you a general understanding of each. However, since the Law of Attraction is arguably the most powerful and serves as the basis of several of the other laws, there are some points that I think you should understand.

First, like other laws of nature, the LOA is completely free of judgment. It does not care if what you attract is “good” or “bad.” It does not care if you need or deserve what you receive.

Like the subconscious, it does not recognize a joke or a negative qualifier. For example, if you repeatedly say something like “I never get a break,” the LOA will do its best to make that a true statement. If you say, “I can’t pay my bills,” The LOA will act to bring you circumstances to assure the truth of that statement.

If you think about how much you dislike being sick, for example, all the LOA hears is that you are thinking about being sick so it brings about things that make you sick. If you make a statement using a negative qualifier such as, “I hate being broke,” The LOA hears “I … broke” and works to keep you that way.

Even though I use the phrase “make a statement,” I don’t really mean a single statement but more of a way of thinking.

There are some specific ways to ensure that the “correct” signals are being sent to the universe. Many of these are covered in the publications previously mentioned. Just remember a simple phrase such as “You bring about what you think about” or “Fake it until you make it.” Be thankful that you can pay the one bill and don’t obsess over the four that you can’t. I wish I could say to just forget the negative things, like unpaid bills, but we know that negative things have to be dealt with.

We do, however, have within our control the ability to find positive things in our lives that we would like to have more of. Deal with the negative when you have to but otherwise seek out love, beauty, abundance, good health and the other things you would like to attract into your life.

Universal Spiritual and Mental Laws

Our universe is governed by certain “universal” laws which influence all existence, seen and unseen. There is, however, no universal agreement as to what they are or even how many. Some sources will claim that there are seven, twelve or even forty-two such laws. There are at least seven on which there is general agreement. Others are often “sublaws” of the basic seven.

Ancient mystical, esoteric and secret teachings dating back over 5,000 years from Ancient Egypt to Ancient Greece and to the Vedic tradition of Ancient India, all have as their common thread these seven Spiritual Laws of the Universe. Once you understand, apply and align yourself with these Universal Laws, you will experience transformation in every area of your life beyond that which you have ever dared to imagine.

The Universal Laws can be viewed as guidelines for behaviors that will enhance our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual growth.

The Universal Laws are all inter-related and are founded on the understanding that everything in the universe is energy, including us. At the microscopic level, we are a whirling mass of electrons and energy atoms spinning rapidly. In fact, everything in the world is comprised of energy and we are intimately connected with this sea of energy, this sea of whirling electrons.
Our thoughts, feelings, words, and actions are all forms of energy. What we think, feel, say, and do in each moment comes back to us to create our realities. The combined thoughts, feelings, words and actions of everyone on the planet (or beyond?) creates our collective consciousness; it creates the world we see around us.

The exciting news is, because our thoughts, feelings, words and actions create the world around us, we have the power to create our own “reality.” In order to do this, it is essential that we learn to control our thoughts and emotions. Understanding the universal laws help us to do this.

The Universe as we know it, see it and experience it, is not all there is. The Universe is always in motion. It is a vibrating, pulsating, resonating, magnetizing force and at the molecular level everything is in motion. It is pure energy.

What we are talking about here is the pure formless substance of the Universe – we can think of this in spiritual terms as God, Higher Power, Spirit or the Universe, or address it mentally as Infinite Intelligence, Universal Mind, Divine Mind or Formless Substance. We can think of it scientifically as Energy or Relativity or take a giant leap into the area of Quantum Physics, where it is recognized as existing but scientists cannot agree on what it is or how it operates.

We are living in an age where mental, spiritual, religious and scientific concepts are coming together as we are getting very close to scientifically prove spiritual concepts.

What are these laws? Well, we know that there are laws of physics, laws of chemistry, laws of mathematics. But most people are not aware of the laws that govern the mental and spiritual realms – the creative laws of the Universe that govern our existence. Or you may know something about them but don’t know how to relate to them or how to use them.

So how do we know these laws exist or that this Universe or Power exists, aside from any intuitive feeling that it does? We know because of its results – by the experience of individuals who apply these principles in their own lives.

The universal spiritual laws work for everyone just like the law of gravity works for everyone. Successful people are using the mental and spiritual laws, they just may not realize they are doing so. And guess what? You are using these laws all of the time whether you realize it or not.
So how do we align ourselves with it?

We connect with this Power, this creative force of the Universe, within, through the channel of our subconscious minds – through our thoughts and our feelings. The subconscious mind is the most fantastic computer you could ever imagine. It keeps our heart beating, our lungs breathing, and has perfect memory of every cell in our body. It has also recorded and stored everything that we have ever heard, said, felt, and experienced. Unfortunately, that includes all of the faulty beliefs and negative patterns from others that we have acquired from the time we were very young through our lifetime.

Our thoughts and our feelings, our deepest beliefs are the key to connecting with the Power that responds to our desires. But first we must break through and overcome the negative thought patterns and beliefs that we have acquired since childhood. We cannot delete anything from the subconscious mind, and it is not necessary to do so. In order to shift our consciousness, we create a new dominant thought.

The subconscious mind does not like to change and will create resistance (we know that from our attempts to change a habit). But there are techniques and methods for influencing the subconscious in a way that does not create argument. (For more detailed discussion on breaking through this “wall” into the subconscious, see Michael Craig, www.logicalsoul.com)

The dominant thought in our conscious and our subconscious is what determines our circumstances. Why do we attract those things that we don’t desire? Those results are the outcropping of the thoughts and impressions that are established in your mind subconsciously.

So we must shift our consciousness to a new dominant thought – a new awareness. When we do so, we then open ourselves to the influence of the creative power of the universe.

The subconscious records everything - everything that you have ever heard or said or felt is recorded in perfect memory, whether or not you were conscious of it or not. And often the more casual words are the ones that drop into the subconscious more easily and are accepted, because you are not monitoring them or refuting them.

Over the next several weeks, I will be discussing several of these universal laws and how to apply them to enhance your life. Next week I will begin with the most familiar of these laws – The Law of Attraction.
