Secrets of Universal Laws in our Daily Lives PART ONE

November 15th, 2011

Cosmic and Universal Laws rule our lives whether we are aware of this fact or not. These are spiritual laws that we live with every day of our lives. As one example is the Law of Cycles. There are shorter cycles and longer cycles. In plants, for example, we plant a seed, which takes its own time to grow. Under certain favorable conditions, it grows to bloom, then to shine in all its glory, giving pleasure for a shorter or longer period of time, depending on the type of plant or flower, to eventually wither and die, only to be recycled again and again.

Everything in nature, humans included, everything in our world, works in the same rhythm, under the Law of Rhythm. Our life, our businesses, our relationships our whole existence, work under the same rhythm, everything constantly renews itself or it dies. Nothing remains constant or stagnant. Nothing in nature is wasted for under the Law of Recycling, absolutely everything is recycled in nature.

Mots of us human creatures resist change. We expect everything to remain the same, we expect things to last forever, we expect the impossible. Because in accordance with the Law of Movement, the Law of Growth, the Law of Vibration and the Law of Change everything is in constant motion and change. The more we are aware and the better we understand this the more we are in harmony with the flow of the energies of these laws of nature.

This ancient knowledge known only to a selected few in the past, is today no longer a secret. This esoteric knowledge is now available to everyone who is interested and who wants to know. But you need to be very careful. You need to decide what to believe and what not to believe. To be able to discriminate and to tell the difference, you need to develop and sharpen both you intuition and your abstract mind, your sixth and seventh spiritual senses, so that you can cope with the onslaught of information, some of which might be total rubbish. You need to be sharp enough and in touch with your own intuition, to know what to believe and what not to believe or else, you are more likely to end up more confused than you were before.

The nature of my life forced me to think about these laws. I was in reality, living through and activating one major law after another, the Law of Change, the Law of Acceptance and the Law of Adaptation again and again in my own life, without knowing it. I moved through countries and cultures so many times in my young life, I intuitively chose to develop a positive attitude towards life and change. After going through each initial shock of the change, I quickly readjusted, accepted, adapted, to my environment and in accordance with each unique situation I attracted to me what I needed to make my life enjoyable. This came gradually to me, somewhere along the line, after suffering pain and going through a lot of confusion and frustration, little by little I began to understand. Circumstances began to make sense to me.

You see, my passion in life is the psychic world, the invisible world and ever since I could think and read, I’ve been studying ancient eastern wisdom teachings. Esoteric teachings occupy much of my time and attention both in waking and sleeping. I do this every single day of my life. It is as if I have this giant invisible jigsaw puzzle and I try to find one little piece after another to complete this puzzle.

For me the psychic world is more real than the material world I live in. It has been so for me ever since I was born. My mother, God bless her soul, was totally convinced that I was a witch. My inner strength as a child even and total conviction when I stated my opinions scared her. She was in the habit of saying, ‘I feel sorry for the man who marries you!’ You must keep in mind this was in the Middle East in the 1940s, women in general were supposed to obey and not declare their thoughts or insist on arguing a point. My own daughters, as they grew up, were convinced that centuries ago, I was burnt at the stake many times over. My siblings made fun of me because they did not understand me at all and to date do no take me seriously.

For me it is all very simple and clear. Being psychic is my second nature. I do not see myself as an oddity. On the contrary I see myself as being blessed. I feel protected as I have guardian spirits. I never feel that I am alone. This inner knowledge which is hard to explain, gives me incredible inner strength. No matter what chaos reveals itself in my life, I manage to survive because I rely on this inner knowledge and the inner strength that I feel.

I grew up in the world of Aladdin, Ali Baba and the fairy tales of the one thousand and one nights. Do you know that in those fairy tales all the universal laws are found, if one cares to listen very carefully and to read between the lines? These divine truths are given to us everywhere, but only if we care to hear and only if we care to see. We can see them, if we want to, everywhere around us in life, they are revealed to us in movies, in books, in poetry, in art, in daily lives of ordinary mortals. Sometimes words of wisdom drop like pearls of treasure from ordinary people who happen to pass our way and exchange a few ordinary words with us. Unless we are aware and living in the ‘now’ moment, we miss them. As things are, we are usually too preoccupied with our mundane life, we’re mostly in a great hurry, rushing to do this or that, shopping, work, hairdresser, kids, cooking, fighting, arguing, TV, chasing money or sex, holiday, nagging or complaining and being unhappy about not having what we want. We are usually so exhausted with all the practical and so called important things that we need to give our attention to, that we have no time to really live, to listen or to see the real truths about life. We choose not to have time to understand the real meaning of life itself and we forget why we are here at all.

Cosmic laws rule everything in the cosmos. And universal laws rule everything on earth and these laws manifest themselves through energy. Now what does that mean exactly?
Everything in the universe is scientific and is mathematically perfect down to the last minute detail. There is law and order everywhere and a reason for everything. For example if the sun suddenly went out of orbit our whole universe would simply collapse and we all would be extinguished in a matter of seconds. The universe is a perfectly orderly place in spite of all the chaos we observe all around us. All forms of life and all actions that occur in the universe are governed by universal laws. Minerals, plants and animals live in accordance with the laws of the universe. We, humans, are the only species on this earth who are arrogant enough to think that we are clever and powerful enough to override the laws of nature and for this childish foolishness of ours, we are now experiencing the results all around us on every level.

Universal laws exist in order for the world to function with efficiency and we have been given the privilege of the will and the intelligence, to activate these energies for better or for worse. The same law might be right in one situation and wrong in another situation and we are given the freedom to discriminate and to make our personal choices.

For example right now I am activating the law of communication and I am doing this with awareness, because my intention is to communicate with you, the reader, and to share with you some important knowledge that will be of great benefit to you. Many years ago in my early twenties when I was frustrated and angry, and my hormones were running amok, I would fight with my just as young and naive husband and scream at him. The poor guy would run away as if a thunder bolt had hit him and that infuriated me even more. I was activating the law of communication you see, but in a negative destructive manner. It did not do me any good nor did it do my partner any good. He on the other hand had nothing to say and this made me scream at him even more. Saying nothing is as bad because he did not activate the law of communication at all. He did not share his thoughts or feelings with me. With that he was also violating the Law of Sharing as much as I was. So we were doomed right from the start, life was hell on earth and guess where we ended up after a few years of this? In a divorce court of course!

Living against or violating a universal law simply means that we are going against a natural energy flow of any particular law. It’s the same as when we swim against the flow of a river, we would have to struggle much harder in order to move forward. And if the current is really strong then we wouldn’t be moving forward at all. So when we have problems in our lives, guess what it means? It means you are doing something that is going against the flow of the energy of that particular law. You see, we are activating the laws all the time, in everything that we do, usually, however, we are unaware of this fact.

I’m sure that you have experienced at least once in your life if not more often, wanting something to happen and it doesn’t. You try and you try again and again, and though you seem to be doing everything right, it feels as if you’re hitting your head against a brick wall. This is a sure sign that you are going against the flow of energy of that particular law that you are activating. So the wise thing to do is to let go. You need to let it rest. Being aware, you would try another approach, another angle or you might re think the timing. Perhaps the timing is wrong, so you decide to do it at a later date. A stubborn, unaware person would crash through the wall by force and end up getting hurt.

At the same time you mush have experienced at one time in your life or more often, when things went very smoothly, not much effort was required on your part, to make things happen, everything seems to go well without any problems. This means that you were doing something very right in accordance with the law you were activating. You were going with the flow of the energies and so everything happens easily for you. If you can become sensitive to this energy you can make your life much easier and you can avoid many problems and hassles in your life. You begin to feel peace and harmony in your life and the more you experience this inner peace the more joy you will attract to you.

Quite often we are in the habit of sabotaging ourselves by activating negative energies, such as fear, doubt, anger, laziness, envy. These are all negative energies that make us feel bad because they hold us as slaves within our own limitations, our own small tiny dark world, keeping us away from the light, they hold us back from being the free beings that we are meant to be.
The Law of Freedom tells us that we are all meant to be free. There are no exceptions to this law. We are all meant to be free beings, with no race, color, age or gender differences. Your partner, your daughter, your son, your employee, your servant, your parent, your nearest and dearest and every human being, absolutely every one of us is meant to be a free human being, free to think, free to act, free to make choices. For a couple in love, for example, jealousy and possessiveness drives the loved one away, by giving total freedom the loved one is more attracted to you. The moment you possess, to enslave, to control another human being you are violating the Law of Freedom and this will have its consequences according to the Law of Cause and Effect and it will eventually boomerang in your face.

There is no punishment of burning in hell. Forget that! There exists another law that takes care of that. The Law of Justice will see to it that when you do wrong the time will come when you will have to pay for that wrong. And this happens on earth in this life.

You see God, the Architect of the universe, the creator of our world, has really worked out everything perfectly for us to the minutest detail. God is a genius! The Almighty is also a kind and merciful God, because he has also given us the Law of Repentance. This law states that when you do wrong you are given the chance to repent and for this you need to do or to give some sacrifice to show that you repent. In ancient days this law was misunderstood and it was given to general belief that a sacrifice of blood or a life has to be given to appease the Gods. It was superstition, or more likely, the law was purposely misinterpreted by some male specimen/s who wanted to have control over the miserable ignorant folk who were most likely starving and scared to death anyway. To this day in some areas of the world and in some faiths it is customary to kill animals, or to beat oneself until one bleeds in repentance. Unbelievable but true.

The sacrifice that this law requires to show that you repent, is given to you to decide or depending on the situation you are told what it would be. Whatever it is, it is an act that you would need to fulfill. As a good example for this, what comes to my mind, is a scene from the film about Ghandi. When Ghandi carried out a hunger strike and refused to eat until all Moslems and all Hindus stopped fighting. A Moslem man came to him and confessed that he had killed a Hindu child. Ghandi made this man promise to adopt and raise a Hindu child orphan as his own son, and what more to raise him in the Hindu belief system. You can imagine what a challenge this Moslem man had to live with every day of his remaining life with this promise as a sacrifice which he gave to Ghandi. The sacrifice calls for you to suffer a little, emotionally, physically, mentally, by living up to a challenge, of the promise that you make after you have admitted your wrong and your feeling sorry.

Here are other simple examples of sacrifices to repent, depending on the size of the violation. You make a pledge to make friends with a neighbor whom you hate. Or you promise to be kind and friends with your mother in law whom you can’t stand. Or you make a pledge to read to someone blind lying in hospital every evening for one month. You make a pledge to fast for one week or not to eat your favorite food for one month. In short the sacrifice requires you to give up a pleasure or to make an extra effort. Very small violations you can quickly correct by saying you are sorry and presenting the person with a box of chocolates flowers or simply ask to be forgiven.
In fact, through all these acts of sacrifice, the individual is forced to exercise self reflection, self control and self discipline, which are all very desirable character traits to develop.

With this act of repentance you are balancing the universal energies by contributing something good to the universe. In this way you activate the Law of Balance. Everything in our world is in perfect balance. Or at least it should be in balance. It is meant to be in perfect balance.

To go back to the negative traits mentioned above. We are given the choice, the freedom and the will power to fight these self destructive traits, and negative traits that we hang on to are generally destructive and most of all self destructive. We are given the choice to activate the Law of Choice and the Law of Freedom, when we make a personal decision. For example, we could say, ‘from this moment on I am going to be aware of my thoughts, aware of what I say and aware of my actions.’ With this we have also activated the Law of Awareness and the Law of Action in a positive way, and when we carry our pledge through and actually exercise the above, then we will be going in harmony with all the laws mentioned.

The Law of Forgiveness is one of the most beautiful laws, because the energy of forgiveness is a healing energy. And we can forgive ourselves as well as forgive others. Forgiveness is cleansing. Decide right this instance to forgive someone you hate immensely who has done you harm. Let them go, let that feeling of resentment go, practice forgiveness and see how much lighter you feel. How good you will feel. It is that easy. All it needs is your firm decision and declaration. Ask for forgiveness from someone you have harmed and see how good and how healing that feels. It works even if you cannot speak to them personally. Declare it to the universe. The universe will respond.

Destruction of our environment, our materialistic behavior, the poverty, the social injustice, crime, wars, exploitation of natural resources, are all symptoms of the huge imbalance in our human nature and we have no one to blame but ourselves. We humanity have caused our own misery. We usually like to blame God for all our calamities.

People are in the habit of saying:

How can God allow this to happen?

Where is God? Is there a God?

God wills it to be so! It is God’s will for this to happen!

We kill in the name of God!

God is punishing us. etc. etc.

But all of this is nothing but nonsense!

God has absolutely nothing to do with all this. It is we humans who are doing it to ourselves and to each other.

God created this world in a wonderfully orderly manner and everything works like a perpetuum mobile. What more we humans, as guardians of the mineral, plant and animal worlds, are given the freedom to do as we please!

That’s how generous the Creator of this universe is.

And just look at what we have done and what we continue to do to the world at large and to each other.

We are created as multi dimensional beings to experience and to manifest our true nature and essence, the spirit, through our physical form. Our purpose here on earth as we complete our human journey back to the spiritual dimension is to develop, to strengthen and to refine our human qualities. We are meant to evolve during a lifetime in the physical world.

The challenges that we meet on the way are meant to help us to grow, to develop and to refine our character. They force us to reflect, to question and to find answers. We are meant to fine tune our character in the same way that a musician fine tunes his violin. We are meant to get rid of all that is bad for us and to purify ourselves to become joyful natural human beings.
The nature of spirit is an individual philosophy for each and every one of us. But no matter how diverse our beliefs or philosophies are we in the physical world whether we like it or not, are all bound together by our thoughts, feelings, dreams, aspirations and actions.

Universal laws transcend the diversity of individual beliefs. When we become aware and learn to understand and to apply these laws in our daily lives, a whole new world opens for us, we can suddenly achieve whatever we want, and do whatever we want. Suddenly a new life of miracles is open to us.

Is The Law of Attraction Just a Theory?

June 15th, 2011

In understanding the Law of Attraction, we come to realize that we attract into our lives whatever we give our Attention, Energy and Focus to. Whether wanted or unwanted. That with synchronicity, we attract from the outside what we resonate with, on the inside, bringing into our life what we momentarily strongly focus upon. In other words that by having an optimistic attitude and focusing on success, one attracts these, while having a cynical depressed attitude attracts negative experiences.

Could this be true?

During my introduction to the Law of Attraction, I needed to make a shift to the positive; I’d surely had enough negative experience to last a lifetime. Before to long my life carried on staying the same, bills, debt, more bills, more debt, you get the picture.

What was happening?

Understanding the Law of Attraction principles was not a problem, I focused on the positive, and all I was getting was the same old deal. We are told that we need faith, we need to believe and be grateful and this elusive Law of Attraction will kick in. Great, I had the answer, say thank you to everyone and all would be OK!

The postman got a thank you for not bringing a bill, the trolley boy at the supermarket got one for leaving a trolley out for me, so did the checkout girl because there was no queue, I thanked the ATM machine, the bank manager, the kid on the bike, my computer, the cooker, heck I must be the most grateful person on the planet, this Law of Attraction ain’t going turn me down.

After a few days of this everything started to go wrong, you guessed it, the postman brought a bill, the trolley boy left no trolley, the checkout girl left a queue, even the ATM stopped giving me money.

What’s going wrong? What was I missing?

Then those words rang out at me again, in understanding the Law of Attraction process you needed Faith and Belief. But how could I Believe? This stuff hadn’t worked up to now, so how could I believe? Tell me how it works and then I’ll Believe, “You don’t need to know, you don’t know how electricity works, but you still use it”

But that’s not fair! With electricity, I don’t need faith, I plug the kettle in and get a steaming cup of coffee, whether I believe it or not.

So the question is, if I focus on the fact that I have little money, bad health, or a poor relationship, how and why does the Law of Attraction respond by giving me more of what I’m focusing on?

And if I shift my focus to the positive how do my desires come true? And this is the great secret of the secret, in understanding The Law of Attraction and knowing how it works, you’ll start to trust it

Trust it and you’ll start to believe it. Believe it, and it will start to respond and only then can you start to refine, mould, and create your desired reality.

So How and why does the Law of Attraction, work?

This is not an easy question to answer, arguably the first self-improvement guide that existed, which mentioned, or more accurately referred to the law attraction, was the First Testament. We therefore have to take a ‘Spiritual’ or ‘Religious’ view.

So do I argue the existence of a God?

But then again, it is science that has put the law of attraction, back on the modern day ‘table’.

So do I argue the fact of science?

You see, throughout history, it has been a battle of science and religion, from astrology to evolution, you could not sit on the fence, were you blinded by science or misguided by religion?

This is a dawn of a new age, where religion will need to embrace its own evolution, and science its spirituality. Our minds are like parachutes, only functioning properly when fully open, and now is the time to ‘Pull The Cord’. But for many people any consideration to the principles behind the way the Law of Attraction work is a futile exercise unless we can prove this Law.

Is it that the Law of Attraction, is just a theory?

Strictly speaking it is, but there is some confusion between what “theory” means informally, compared to a “theory” of science. In the scientific sense, a theory is a group of general propositions used as principles to explain a condition or phenomena.

So does this mean that the law, Attraction is uncertain?

Not at all, or more accurately speaking, as uncertain as electricity, gravity and evolution. Ah, I here you say, electricity and gravity are governed by laws! True, and here’s the difference, a theory does not imply lack of certainty, but explains the reason for seeing a result, to our best understanding, a law however, implies that the results we see can be calculated in controlled conditions. Yes but as a theory, the law, Attraction has no proof!

Ok, but does that make it weak?

Has anything in the physical world ever been proved? Or will it ever be?

In the real world, we must deal with levels of certainty based on evidence. The more and better evidence we have for something, the more certainty we assign to it; when there is enough evidence, we label the something a fact, even though it still isn’t 100% certain, or fully understood.

To use proof as an argument against the ‘theory’ of the law ‘Attraction’, is ridiculous … you might as well argue that gravity is a theory, and that we can’t assume objects will always fall to the ground, after all it’s far from being completely understood.

What the Law Attraction has, is what any good scientific claim has, evidence, and lots of it. A wide range of observations throughout history supports the law Attraction and to challenge the theory, Attraction, you must address that evidence.

You must show that the evidence is either wrong or irrelevant, or that it fits another theory better.

Of course, to do this, you must know both the theory and the evidence. So what is the evidence of this law Attraction? One of the most successful self-help books of all time was a 25 year study of success principles documented by Napoleon Hill in his books Law of Success and Think and Grow Rich

Think and Grow Rich Hill refers to the law ‘Attraction’ as the ‘Secret’, which has made fortunes for more than five hundred exceedingly wealthy men whom he carefully analyzed over a long period of years.

This secret, the Law of Attraction, was brought to Hill’s attention by Andrew Carnegie, asking Hill if he would be willing to spend twenty years or more, taking this principle to the world, to men and women who, without the secret, might go through life as failures.

This book contains the secret law Attraction, after having been put to a practical test by thousands of people, in almost every walk of life. It was Mr. Carnegie’s idea that the magic formula, which gave him a stupendous fortune, ought to be placed within reach of people who do not have time to investigate how men make money, and it was his hope that Hill might test and demonstrate the soundness of the formula through the experience of men and women in every calling.

He believed the formula should be taught in all public schools and colleges, and expressed the opinion that if it were properly taught it would so revolutionize the entire educational system that the time spent in school could be reduced to less than half.

Napoleon Hill analyzed hundreds of well known men, many of whom admitted that they had accumulated their vast fortunes through the aid of the Carnegie secret; among these men were: Ford, Wrigle, Wanamaker, Roosevelt, Hubbard, Wright, Schab, Gillette, Rockefeller, Edison, Woolworth and Bell.

“These names represent but a small fraction of the hundreds of well known Americans whose achievements, financially and otherwise, prove that those who understand and apply the Carnegie secret, reach high stations in life. I have never known anyone who was inspired to use the secret, who did not achieve noteworthy success in his chosen calling. I have never known any person to distinguish himself, or to accumulate riches of any consequence, without possession of the secret. From these two facts I draw the conclusion that the secret is more important, as a part of the knowledge essential for self-determination, than any which one receives through what is popularly known as education.”
