Universal Laws

"As water by cooling and condensation becomes ice, so thought by condensation assumes physical form. Everything in the universe is thought in material form." Paramahansa Yogananda

Universal Laws and the world we create.
Everything that you see is not solid as they might appear. Back when I was in primary school we were taught that every solid object is made up of molecules and molecules in turn are made up of atoms. So that mean’s your hand or the chair that you are sitting on now, is made up of atoms which are so small they cannot be seen with the naked eye.

In case you missed it, times have changed. Atoms which were once considered as the smallest things that ever existed are in turn made up of subatomic particles, which have no solidity at all. Science tells us they are quite literally, packets or waves of information that vibrate. Vibration is produced in the form of amplitude and frequency; oscillations that generate more energy. So your hand or the chair that you are sitting on is nothing but energy and information.

The concept of the Universe existing as energy is not a new idea. It's just that science in the form of Quantum Physics is now bridging the philosophical gap. Most of us have heard about the law of attraction and probably watched movies such as “The Secret” or “What the Bleep.” Self help books like “The Power of Positive Thinking” by Norman V. Peale have also been available for decades.

Why is it then, so many people have trouble creating abundance in their life? I often hear, “Yes I understand, but it doesn’t work for me!” What you fail to realise is that, it is working! The Universe always gives us what we focus on because the Universe is based on some fundamental rules. These are rules of energy or vibration and are commonly referred to as "Universal Laws." Once you understand these laws, you can apply them to create whatever you want in your life.

This thinking and wisdom was known long before "The Secret" or any New Age movement for that matter. We are simply coming full circle because Quantum Physics is now showing us how it may be possible or true. If we accept these Universal Laws, we begin to understand how energy healing is possible and how we create the world around us. The Laws are based on the study of the seven Principles in Hermetic Philosophy of Ancient Egypt and Greece, first published in “The Kybalion” in 1908.

From old Egypt have come the fundamental esoteric and occult teachings which have so strongly influenced the philosophies of all races, nations and peoples, for several thousand years.

Egypt, the home of the Pyramids and the Sphinx, was the birthplace of the Hidden Wisdom and Mystic Teachings. The following Universal Laws are the most common interpretation of these principles. It is what I believe and because it works for me, it is true for me. You have to decide, is it true for you?

“The possession of Knowledge, unless accompanied by a manifestation and expression in Action, is like the hoarding of precious metals...a vain and foolish thing. Knowledge, like Wealth, is intended for Use. The Law of Use is Universal, and he who violates it suffers by reason of his conflict with natural forces.” – The Kybalion.

Universal Laws

Law of correspondence
The Universal laws apply to all dimensions
As above, so below; as below, so above

Law of vibration
Everything is vibration; nothing is at rest
Like attracts like on a vibrational level

Law of cause and effect
What you put out, you get back
This is not karma with rewards & retribution; just an extension of the law of vibration

Law of transmutation ^#
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed
Perpetual transmutation is energy transferring into matter and out again to energy

Law of polarity
Everything has a balancing opposite
Yin and Yang; Male and Female

The Law of Gender
Everything has its "masculine" and "feminine" aspects

Law of rhythm
Nothing stays the same; everything flows
Everything runs in cycles

Law of relativity ^#
There are no absolute truths
Nothing has meaning until you ascribe meaning to it, or relate it to something else

The way to reduce the pain which you associate with earthly experiences and events—both yours and those of others—is to change the way you behold them.
Quotes from "Conversations with God" by Neale Donald Walsch

# The law of relativity and the law of transmutation are not directly described in The Kybalion.

What you say and think, you create.
If we accept these Universal Laws, we begin to understand how our lives are manifested by our focus. You see your reality as real because your brain functions as a quantum machine and creates your world through the five senses of sight, sound, touch, taste and smell. It actually transforms and interprets the energy around you much like a hologram, where you can feel and navigate the 3-dimensional effect.

YOU are a quantum energy machine, and you create your own world by focusing energy; and remember, thoughts and emotions are also energy. What you believe, think about, worry about and keep talking about is what you create more of. This can be positive or not so positive, depending on whether you are creating what you want, or more of what you don't want.So the question is, what are YOU focusing on?

And what about Free Will and Intent?
Universal laws apply to every thing in every universe, whether you are aware of these laws or not. With regards to Intent, you will manifest whatever you focus on whether it is "perceived" as positive or negative. The key to intent is to remember the law of cause and effect because you will experience what you put out. Setting your Intent is more than being clear on what it is you want to manifest or achieve. Remember that thoughts are also energy and your "true intent" behind any action will be subject to cause and effect. You can't hide your intent and it is subject to the Universal Laws rather than being a law to itself.

With regards to Free Will, It was once described to me that, "There is Law and there is the Nature of The Universe. Free Will and Choice are the nature of the Universe." You could argue that Free Will is a basic law, but to me it is more of a "right" than a law governing all things. Everyone has the right to choose, and having made a choice Universal Laws will bring to you the consequences of that choice. Can Free Will be over-ridden? I suspect it can in certain circumstances.

The key to understand is that everything that you experience in life is due to the choices you make. That's the little trick to life we are not told about. If you feel out of control it's because you have given it to someone or something else, albeit unknowingly through some form of entrapment. Once again the Universal Laws come into play to support your choice. You and whoever is controlling you is still being governed by Universal Laws.

So yes you have the right to Free Will, but you can loose control of it. Until you understand the Universal Laws and how they interplay to create Lore, you will forever be playing in someone else’s game. This is the concept that has been either lost or deliberately hidden from us. The consequences of the choices we make can cycle throughout eternity until we bring them into balance.

That brings us to LORE: Rules to the game of life.
