THE LAWS OF LIFE: Twenty Universal Laws and Spiritual Truths” (from
Inspirational Books)
“Our minds can shape the way a thing will be, because we act according to
our expectations …and that’s why it shapes our reality.”
INTRODUCTION:
Submitter’s Note: Just sharing a few thoughts as I research, study and
write about the human mind, spiritual principles and the Laws of Life.
This article is largely based upon a chapter, “Universal Laws and Truth”
from the fascinating and thought-provoking book, “The Way of the Warrior
Trader” by Dr Richard D. McCall.
I believe, If we can understand these “facts of life”, anyone WILL
overcome negative and consequently disabling emotions, so you can achieve
your full potential in life. So this is my reason for sharing (as well as
“formalising, clarifying, imprinting and manifesting” these principles
and thoughts – ‘wise’ in my “top two inches”, as I do it), together with
some additional points and input of my own)=D6
Now after that long “intro”, I’ll share the concepts mentioned in this
work with you (whew, at long last!)…
*
Here are the Twenty Universal (and Spiritual) Laws,
which I believe, are applicable in ALL areas of our lives:
1. First is the Law of ATTRACTION: When you are well grounded in your
life purpose, have clarity for what you desire most, and are focused on
your specific needs, the Universe (God/Life Force/Infinite Spirit) will
come to your aid. People who spend time each day getting clear on what it
is that they want, always will be able to get what they want.
2. The second principle is the Law of CONNECTION:
I believe every ‘body’ on this planet is connected in the spiritual
realm. We are all spiritual beings on an earthly existence. Because we
humans have the power of intellectualisation, rationality and especially
in the immense power of choices – to act, to elevate our thinking and so
choose our level of consciousness, which will determine our ultimate
destinies. And we activate our spiritual connection through service to
others, a sense of gratitude (or an attitude of abundance and especially
grace), and a shared humanity.
3. The third principle is based on the Law of SOWING AND REAPING: In more
modern everyday language, this may also be known as the LAW OF CAUSE AND
EFFECT (as postulated by the Greek philosopher, Socrates). First you
must give, and then you will receive. The farmer plants the seed and then
reaps the rich harvest.
The Law of Attraction is also closely related to the LAW OF GRATITUDE:
Have an ‘attitude of gratitude’ and you’ll be richly blessed.
4 The Law of DUALITY (or CONTRASTS):
There is a flip side or opposite of everything. Every negative has a
positive (and is accentuatated – big word – by the contrast). For
instance, you can only know good, if there is evil. Light can only exist
with the darkness. Good luck can only exist, if there is such a thing as
having experienced bad luck. And to experience success you must know
failure. Even severe adversity can have some benefit, if we adopt a
positive attitude and grow from the experience. We can perhaps use our
bitter experiences of the deepest hurts to help others.
Perhaps our dark times (the “dark night of the soul”) are there so that
we can really find joy in the bright days.
5 The Law of CYCLES:
All events occur in cycles. Professional athletes and cricketers (or
baseballers for you Americans) might refer to the law of cycles as
streaks (”hot”).
In accepting the law of cycles, we must know how to make the most of the
good streaks. And when times are bad, keep your head up and look ahead
expectantly to the upcoming reversal of fortune.
6 The Law of EVOLUTION and CHANGE:
Everything evolves and changes (as pressures and the sands of life shift
over time) – the ebbs and flows of life. So it is up to you to ensure you
progress and move ahead; as what were once huge obstacles get, “seemingly
miraculously” removed..
7 The Law of CHOICES:
The greatest aspect of the human condition, I believe is our freedom: a
freedom to make choices in life: regarding where to live, occupation, how
we spend our time, our leisure pursuits, who to marry, and so on. Each
one of us has absolute control over the multitude of choices we make each
day …and our possibilities are unlimit=CEd. Stop feeling trapped by your
circumstances, as you are not a victim of life. If you are feeling
“negatively stuck in the deep brown stuff”, make the decision to change
your life and choose a brand new future. Consequently YOU have the power
and freedom to control your destiny.
Linked to the above Law of Choices is:
8 The Law of RESPONSIBILITY:
You must accept the full outcomes for the various decisions (choices) you
make daily.
9 The Law of INERTIA:
In physics the law of inertia states that: “An object at rest tends to
stay at rest.” This law is true of life as well. Action gets momentum
going! The longer you procrastinate on completing that project, the
longer you go without acting, the harder it will be to get started.
10 The Law of MOMENTUM:
“An object in motion tends to stay in motion.” This second law of physics
is again a reality of life. Once you get started, it is easier to keep
going and make progress. After the decision has been made, one tiny first
step gets the momentum going. You probably notice the effect of this law
in action every day. Once you get out of bed (for me the hardest part)
and into the show=CEr (warm, I trust!), getting dressed, having “brekkie’
and even going out the door to work (’clean and shiny’) is ‘a breeze’.
Done often enough (usually 21X ‘they’ say), an action becomes an
ingrained HABIT… and good habits lead to good results and good living.
“The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.”
- ancient Chinese saying
11 The Law of SYNCHRONICITY (otherwise known as “CO-INCIDENCES”*):
* I prefer to call it ‘divine order’.
This principle is closely aligned with no 1: The Law of Attraction.
You are part of the universe, not a separate entity.
We humans are all connected to a common humanity. Your actions affect
those around you and determine how your life is shaped. It is important
to recognize that you are inseparable from the events and situations in
your life. When you see your connection to the world around you, you
understand the control you have over your destiny.
N.B:
12 The Law of MANIFESTATION:
Life is like a mirror – what you put out, you’ll get back even more. Put
out positive energy (vibrations) and you’ll attact positive results.
(This too is closely aligned with Law One: the Law of Attraction).
You become what you think about the most (”then why aren’t I a woman!”).
Our thoughts shape our reality; so we need to learn how to SHAPE our
thoughts, as the potter moulds the clay. Consequently, as the old saying
goes, “Be careful what you wish for – you’ll probably get it!”
“We are what we think.
All that we are arises
With our thoughts.
With our thoughts,
We make our world.”
- the Buddha
“It’s not what you think you are,
but what you THINK, you ARE.”
- minister Norman Vincent Peale, the father of the concept ‘The Power of
Positive Thinking’
13 (”Lucky”) The Law of EXPECTATION (POSITIVE):
Always expect a favourable outcome – the best from your actions in
whatever you undertake. Be an optomist seeing the glass as “half full” in
all your endeavours!
14. The Law of INTENTION (good)
Do things in the right “heart and spirit” with a genuine desire (intent)
of some action(s) to make some small difference in the world, otherwise
sharing ideas to help others …and you can’t go wrong. (My reason for
sharing this piece – “oh no, not another article from you, Craig!”)
N.B.
15 The Law of PROCESS AND ACTION:
Spend more time in planning and setting goals. Then spend quiet times in
reflection and contemplation to review and monitor your progress. Are you
moving ahead, or do you perhaps need to “change tack” (strategy).
Manifesting what we want out of life still requires action and planning.
Ask, trust, and allow the Universe’s Infinite
Wisdom to send you the answers on what to do to attain our deepest
desires.
BALANCE thought with decision, which leads to ACTION. Because, if you are
going to move ahead in life and make the most of your potential, rather
than just ponder possibilities, you will need to take some practical
steps, ie. actually DO something, “Mr/Mrs/Ms Dreamer”. You have to
undergo the process of taking your desired goals and breaking them down
into manageable parts. Plan appropriately and follow through – then
through taking action on each step, it IS definitely possible to attain
even your “wildest” dreams or destination.
16 The Law of HABIT:
Good habits maketh man and woman.
17. The Laws of COMMITMENT and PERSISTENCE:
When one commits fully to an endeavour, “body, heart and soul”, nothing
can stop you. The moment one commits fully to an enterprise, all the
mysterious forces of the Universe, God, Providence, Life Force moves too
- in bringing all the threads even the “tangled” ones) together, so that
your most earnest desires WILL one day come to pass..
18. The Law of COMMAND:
“Thou shalt deem a thing and it shall be so.”
The words we use to ourselves are vital in shaping our attitudes
(mindsets). So be careful what you say to yourself (especially negative
self talk/chatter); as it might just happen – it usually does! “Speak”
desired events, ocurrences and outcomes “into existence”.
and finally… and most importantly (saving the best for last)
19. The LAW (POWER) of BELIEF:
“All things are possible to him who believes.”
- Mark 9:23
Now for a few personal thoughts on “spiritual matters” (note this is NOT
religion, as I sincerely believe dogmatic religion divides humanity).
Jesus Christ understood perfectly human nature and the above-mentioned
principles of the mind – even 2000 years ago! The teachings of Christ
were psychologically correct and violate no psychological laws, though
original in concept and spirit. Jesus possessed a wealth of wisdom in
dealing with people’s day-to-day, as well as their spiritual problems. He
knew the deepest recesses of the human heart: “He knew what was in man.”
So
*
BELIEVE in the tremendous power of BELIEF (ie. certainty): in the form of
your thoughts and imagination. Use these incredible mental tools to your
advantage through your amazing human mind. Sow positive energy and
you’ll reap positive results. If you think your life will be exciting and
fulfilling, you WILL make it a reality.
“Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you HAVE received it and it
will be yours.”
- Mark 11:24
I believe there is a spiritual solution to any problem on this planet.
One just has to think “outside the square”, on another level, at/in a
“higher dimension”…
then one’s whole perspective changes.
When stuck on what particular action to take, ASK, TRUST, and allow the
Universe’s Infinite Wisdom to send you the answers through the amazing
power of your subconscious mind, our “doorway to God, the Ultimate
Source”.
and finally, the most powerful force in the world…
20. THE LAW OF CREATION: God is a God of Creation, which is why we’ve all
been blessed with the amazing power of the human imagination (the way, I
believe we “get divine answers from “another realm”, a Higher Power. We
ALL have FREE WILL: the choice to BELIEVE, or not: the FAITH to believe
that your deepest desires and even wildest dreams can and WILL happen if
you can just have enough FAITH.
The above principles, I believe, are in perfect alignment with the laws
of physics and human psychology (the spiritual is just another (and
‘higher’) realm or dimension in which they operate). I sincerely hope
these Truths (eternal) motivate and perhaps even inspire you to move
ahead and achieve great success… in your business, or whatever
endeavours you may choose to embark on in your life.
Have FUN and BE happy as you “ride down the rapids of life”

“Let the light of your BEING shine brightly;
so revealing Who You Really Are.
Be a Bringer of the Light,
which emanates from the deepest recesses of our soul, God, our Creator,
the original Source, the Essence of Life
(and Ground of our very Being).
Therefore, it can do more than illuminate
your own path.
Because we are all connected (no matter where on the planet you may
live),
YOUR unique spirit will help makes the lives of others easier:
By illuminating the paths of our fellow human beings down the often
tumultuous journey of life.
For this torch, this beacon of light and hope is the spirit of our shared
humanity, the character of God, truth, wisdom, beauty and especially
love…
and I truly believe that this divine spark lies within each ONE of us.
It’s what we have in common.
Through your actions and your being,
let your light, YOUR unique spirit truly shine brightly on the world,
like the radiance emitted by a candle at midnight.”
- Craig Lock (inspired by the ultimate Source).
“Be the very best person you can be with “loads of” FUN. Become the
person you are CAPABLE of being … and ALL the person God,
Our Creator intended and CALLED us to become.”
“Even when your own light appears to be extinguished,
another human being may light that candle once more,
turning it someday into a bright flame… somewhere, somehow.”
“When I let go of who (and what) I think I am, then I become all that I
am capable of being.”
- Craig Lock (as adapted and inspired from Lao Tzu)
P.S:
I love these uplifting words from Larry Chenges, so I’ll share to end off
this piece of writing…
“I wish you well on a rainy day
I wish you rainbows to brighten your day
To feel your quiet moments with a special kind of warmth
to remind you that happiness can happen
when you least expect it.
I wish you rainbows to make you laugh and smile
to show you the simple beauty of life
and to give you the magic of dreams come true.
I wish you rainbows
I wish you well.”
– Larry S. Chenges (thanks, Larry)
I wish you well too in following your dreams and being all you were
created to be.
