UNIVERSAL LAW....

Universal LawHave you ever had “one of those days” when absolutely
everything goes wrong? Have you ever wondered why some
people are successful, while others spend their entire lives
struggling? Do you ever get the feeling that someone is out
to get you because everything you touch goes wrong?

If you’re like most people, these thoughts do occur to you
from time to time. But what is the answer to these
questions? Is it a question of luck, could it be fate or is
there something else going on here of which most people are
unaware?

The answer is both all around us and within us, and is
called Universal Law. Just like there are Natural Laws that
govern nature (such as gravity), there are other Laws which
govern all that happens in the universe. From the spiritual
to the physical to the mental, everything that happens does
so according to Law.

You see, the Universe around us is a very orderly place in
which nothing occurs by chance. Even though one cannot see
the Laws, or hear them, smell them or taste them, they are
there. They apply to everything and everyone – nothing is
exempt. Whether one is aware of these Laws or not, they
still apply - just like the Law of Gravity. Even though one
may not be aware of or understand Gravity, it always works.
No matter who you are, if you decide to step off the top of
a tall building, you will fall at an increasing rate of
speed until you reach terminal velocity or until you impact
the ground.

So what are these Laws and how do they work? There are
literally dozens of Universal Laws that exist, but for ease
of understanding, they can be distilled down to a mainseven:

1. Law of Control
2. Law of Accident
3. Law of Cause & Effect
4. Law of Belief
5. Law of Expectation
6. Law of Attraction
7. Law of Correspondence

From these seven, everything else flows. The beauty of the
Laws is that once one understands and lives in accordance
with them, life becomes extremely simple.

Law of Control

The Law of Control simply states that we have high self-esteem
and feel good about ourselves to the exact degree
that we feel we are in control of our lives. Unfortunately,
the majority of the population does not live according to
the Law of Control, but rather by its inverse, the Law of
Accident. The truth of the matter is that every one of us is
in total control of our life, but until an individual takes
the step to determine that they are personally responsible
for what happens to them, then they cannot help but live by
Accident.

Law of Accident

This Law states that we feel badly about ourselves and have
low self-esteem to the degree that we feel events and
circumstances control our lives. In other words, we are the
victims of whatever else happens around us. If good things
happen, then we benefit, but if bad things happen, we play
the victim. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the world's
population live under this very dangerous and mostunem
powering belief.

Law of Cause & Effect

This Law is also known as the Iron Law of Human Destiny
because it is so profound and powerful. Simply stated, the
Law of Cause & Effect says that everything happens for a
reason. All actions have consequences, as do all inactions.
Distilled down to the simplest possible terms, this law
states that for every effect in one’s life, there is a
specific cause. The law can also be applied in the physical
sense through examination of Sir Isaac Newton’s third Law of
Motion, which states that “for every action, there is an
equal and opposite reaction.” If, for example, you were to
hold your hand over a candle’s flame (the cause) the effect
would be that your hand would burn and it would hurt!

The truly wonderful thing about this law is that by
definition then, we should be able to manifest that which we
truly want (the effect), simply by exerting the same causes
that others before us have exerted and been successful.

Law of Belief

The Law of Belief states that whatever you believe with
feeling and conviction becomes your reality. It is not until
you change your beliefs that you can begin to change your
reality, performance and outcomes.

You have heard the doubters and the naysayers out there who
always proclaim “I’ll believe it when I see it!” In reality,
it is the other way around; it is not until you believe it,
that you will see it (no matter what “it” is)!

Self-limiting beliefs are perhaps the most detrimental of
all thoughts, since they absolutely will keep you from the
success that you may want, but don’t believe you can attain.
There is an old saying that goes ”whether you think you can
or you can’t, your right!” This saying is completely
congruent with the Law of Belief.

Law of Expectation

Simply stated, the Law of Expectation tells us that whatever
one expects, with confidence, becomes a self-fulfilling
prophecy. When one expects with confidence that good things
will happen, they usually will. If, on the other hand, one
expects a negative outcome to a situation, then the outcome
will usually be negative.

Our expectations play a key role in our own outcomes and
they also have a remarkable effect on the people around us.
What we expect from those around us determines our attitude
toward them more than any other factor. In turn, the people
around us tend to reflect our attitudes right back at us -
whether the expectations and attitudes are positive or
negative, good or bad.

Law of Attraction

The Law of Attraction states that we attract into our lives,
that which we focus our thoughts upon. If our thoughts are
constantly on positive outcomes and good results, then that
is what we will manifest. If, on the other hand, our
predominant thoughts are on negative outcomes and poor
results, then that is what we will attract. This is based on
the fact that the Universe is simply vibrational energy in
motion. Emotions, thoughts, feelings and objects –
absolutely everything - has a vibrational frequency. Since
like attracts like, it is only logical that the vibrational
frequency of your predominant thoughts will attract results
that have a similar vibrational frequency. We know that
emotions which are love-based (love, desire, happiness,
wonder, joy etc.) have a very high vibrational frequency,
whereas emotions that are fear-based (anger, hatred,
intolerance, fear, sadness etc.) vibrate at a very low
frequency.

Law of Correspondence

“As within, so without” is an old saying that perfectly
describes the Law of Correspondence. This simply means that
what happens on the outside is merely a reflection of what
is happening on the inside. Your outer world is a reflection
of your inner world. An individual that is unhappy and
living in conflict with themselves, will always exhibit
negative behaviors on the outside. Sometimes these negative
behaviors and thoughts can be masked, but the true feelings
will eventually reveal themselves. Everything in our lives
is a mirror of what is happening within us, be it financial,
relationships or health. If you want to make your outside
life better, the only way to accomplish this is to change
what is happening on the inside.

In order to live the successful, happy life we all deserve,
it is necessary to understand and live by Universal Law. The
best way to do this is to first and foremost, take control
over your thoughts and to stay in the present moment. Ask
yourself constantly; "What am I thinking about right now?"
If the answer is something negative, then take the
opportunity to change your thoughts. This will start to put
you back in control of your life which is the first step to
lasting happiness and peace of mind!==============================================
