Universal Laws - Last in Series

Over the past few weeks, I have been writing about the
Universal Laws. Specifically, I have discussed the Law of Attraction, the Law
of Perpetual Transmutation, the Law of Deliberate Creation and the Law of
Vibration.

As mentioned in the first post, various authors have listed
up to 42 separate laws but the most common number is seven. Whether there are
really only seven laws or the number seven is used because it is the number
denoting spiritual completeness, I don’t know.

Today, I want to conclude the series by briefly listing some
of the laws not heretofore mentioned. They are:

The Law of Relativity Nothing stands alone.
Something is “big” or “small” only in relation to some other “thing.”
Something, for example, that is difficult for you, may actually be easy for
someone else. Therefore, the “thing” is neither difficult nor easy in itself
but only in relation to individuals’ perception of it.

The Law of Polarity Similar to the Law of
Relativity in that it is employed in relation to something else, this law
states that everything has a polar opposite. For every “good” there is a “bad.”
For every “right” there is a “wrong.” The Universe has a sufficient supply of
both. Whichever you devote your energy to, you will receive.

The Law of Correspondence Just as the physical
world has principles or laws of physics, the metaphysical or spiritual world
have corresponding principles or laws. Just as the law of gravity is real in
the visible world, the law of attraction is real in the invisible world.

The Law of Cause and Effect Every action has a
related effect. Since all energy is connected, every thought as well as act has
a resulting effect. We may not be able to perceive the effect but somewhere,
something is affected. This principle of Cause and Effect can cross worlds in
that a physical action can have a spiritual effect and a spiritual act can
affect the physical world.

The Law of Allowing This principle states that
we should allow others to be as they decide to be and not apply our values upon
them. It also says that we should allow ourselves to be who we truly are and
not pretend to be something we are not. Back in the 1970s, there was a term –
“being real” – that states this principle. Another aspect of the law of
allowing is to keep ourselves open to receive the blessings of God (or the
Universe, if you prefer).

The Law of Sufficiency and Abundance
Everything that you need and want is available to you. We too often think in
terms of scarcity and the only way we can get what we want is to take it from someone
else. Even financial abundance is sufficient for everyone. As Wallace Wattles
states in The Science of Getting Rich, success is a function of
service, not competition.

I could probably list at least ten or more laws or
principles but I think that you can see that they are all interconnected. If
you are interested in the Universal Laws, just do an internet search and you
will find an abundance of information.

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.
