BLOG #2: The Universal Laws—An Overview




What are they?

Everything in the universe is governed by the Universal Laws that keep things in balance.  These laws have been known for over 4,000 years, but it is with the advent of the New Age era that they are coming into the awareness of more and more of us.

Some sources say there are 7 Universal Laws, while others say there are 12.  This blog will focus on 12, as listed below: 

1.       The Law of Oneness

2.       The Law of Energy or Vibration

3.       The Law of Action

4.       The Law of Correspondence

5.       The Law of Cause and Effect

6.       The Law of Compensation

7.       The Law of Attraction

8.       The Law of Transmutation of Energy

9.       The Law of Relativity

10.   The Law of Polarity

11.   The Law of Rhythm

12.   The Law of Gender

Where did the Laws come from?

The Laws are attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, an ancient Egyptian sage master who is also thought to have introduced subjects in areas such as the hieroglyphic alphabet, the 365-day calendar, astronomy, alchemy, astrology, medicine, botany, surveying, geometry, esoteric thoughts embodied in religions, and theology.  He was also known as: Egyptian god Thoth, Pythagoras, Balthazar (one of three Magi), St. Francis of Assisi, and Ascended Master Kuthumi. The Laws were originally given in the ancient text called the Kybalion.

Why are they important?

We are not taught these Laws in school, and this causes us to endure more challenges and hardships than are necessary in the physical plane, because knowledge of the Laws allows us to better control our lives and create the reality we want.  We can see transformation in our lives when we start applying them.  Once we have an understanding of them, we can use this awareness to help them work for us.

The Laws are important because they are guidelines for how we are to act and what influences our lives. They provide us with structure; otherwise, we would live in a chaotic world where much makes no sense.  Some significant points about the Laws are:
  • They are truth.
  • They apply to everyone because they govern our physical and spiritual lives.
  • They are divinely decreed and therefore perfect.  They are our keys to leading lives of peace and harmony.
  • They bring order and predictability to our lives.
  • They help us avoid negative outcomes by giving us insights into following a positive path.
  • When following the Laws, we help ourselves and others.

How do they work?

These Laws simply tell us how the universe works.  Since we are part of this universe, they apply to us as well as all of nature.  Everything, including us, is energy that moves in a circular way. This includes star systems revolving in galaxies, our solar system with the planets circling the sun, Earth’s magnetic and energetic fields, as well as atoms revolving around the nucleus at the microscopic level.

We are energy, and energy moves in a circular pattern.  Our four types of energy are thoughts, feelings, words, and actions; this energy is moved by our consciousness, which is impacted by the messages we send out.  The circular motion of our energy explains why the statement “What goes around comes around” is true.  Everything we send out comes back to us in some form, like an “energy boomerang”.  This concept will become clearer as we discuss each Law.

How do we get them to work for us?

Understanding them is the first step.  To make sure you grasp the meaning of each, only two will be presented every other week.
