Universal Law 9:  The Law of Relativity

The Law of Relativity states that an action, event, or object is neutral until we perceive it to be good or bad.  Our interpretation of it becomes a judgment in which we compare it to something else from our past.  Whether we view it as positive or negative depends on what we are comparing it to.  If we judge it against something that is worse, then we see it as not so bad.  But if we view it in light of something better, we perceive it to be worse than it may really be.  It is only when we relate it to something else that it takes on a value of good or bad.  It is how we see it relative to something else.

Why is it important to know about this Law?

If we understand this basic principle, then we can let this Law work for us rather than against us. For example, if you compare yourself to others in some way and feel that you are not as good as they are in some area, you are taking a superficial view of the situation and allowing the Law to work against you.  But if you take this same comparison and instead acknowledge your strong traits in another area, recognizing what you have mastered, then you are allowing the Law to help raise your self-confidence and esteem.

This Law is about us being on our spiritual path, and relates to us looking at comparisons.  If we use it to find out what lessons we are learning, then we are letting it guide us in our spiritual growth.  We see the comparison not as good or bad, but as a lesson we are in the midst of learning.  It is all about how we interpret the comparison.

When we make a comparison where we judge ourselves as coming up short, we must ask ourselves what we were meant to learn from this and how far this will help us grow and move along our spiritual path.

The main thing to keep in mind is to make sure the choices we make come from our heart, not our mind or ego, because ego-driven choices are based on judgments.  When our judgments lead to a challenge for us, we have the choice to change our way of thinking and turn a negative into a positive.

Ascended Master El Morya says:

“Basically, the Law of Relativity assures that each soul will receive a series of tests (problems, if you will) designed for the purpose of strengthening the Light within.  As each soul is tested and provided with opportunities for advancement, options are given that guide the possible choices to be made. 

“Everything is relative…The reason one believes that things are better or worse is because the mind makes comparisons with people, things, and events that are not relevant, and applies these comparisons to the present situation.”  (Milanovich & McCune, p. 223).

Life is not about comparisons but about mastering the lessons we have come here to learn.  When we control our mind (ego) to focus only on the present, we stay connected with our heart and all of our choices come from the heart—a place that is non-judgmental.


Universal Law 10:  The Law of Polarity

The Law of Polarity states that everything is on a continuum and has an opposite, but there are no absolutes.  Things are the same, only different in terms of degrees; opposites are the two extremes of the same thing—such as heat-cold, good-bad, truth-untruth, love-hate, high-low, positive-negative, light-dark.  Where does one quality stop and the other begin?  Each opposite experience has infinite possibilities for us, and helps us appreciate the positive that comes into our lives.  Using this Law requires the discipline we need to change our lives.

Why is it important to know this Law?

Because we have free will, we can choose which part of the polarity continuum we wish to experience.  If our lives are not going the way we want, we need to stop and ask ourselves why this is happening—what lessons are we meant to learn from the difficulties we are having?  Remember the Law of Relativity—what is happening to us is not good or bad; it just is.  Failure to acknowledge the Law of Relativity will result in a delay in getting what we want, because judgment causes a lower vibration.
A key point here relates to the reason we are using the Law of Attraction to bring abundance into our lives. The reason could be:  (1) We want to be happier and think financial success is the answer; or (2) We want to learn all we can and believe that abundance will help us grow not just materially but spiritually.  The second reason has a higher vibration and will actually bring abundance into our lives faster.



Accepting experiences at face value without judgment is so important, as stated by Angelheart: 

“Having acceptance of whatever you are experiencing acts as the polar opposite of resistance and will attract more of your desires.  This means that any resistance you have by focusing on the experience and interpreting it (as) bad or good will attract more of what you are resisting.

“Learn to accept and celebrate the experiences you have already had and the ones you are currently having no matter how they may appear.  It is after you do this that you will notice your new choices of the polarity experiences will begin to appear and the other experiences will disappear.  Surrender to acceptance of the journey and embrace the entire journey to bring harmony to your life.” (p. 69-70)

This Law helps us realize that all things can be changed. The first step is to choose to change.  We also must recognize that extreme reactions bring to us emotions and behaviors that are extreme. That is why balance is the key to success.  In a nutshell—changes in polarity lead to changes in vibration, which in turn lead to changes in what we attract. 

The next blog, to be posted on 1/12/14, will discuss Universal Law 11--The Law of Rhythm, and Law 12--The Law of Gender.

Universal Law 7:  The Law of Attraction
This is perhaps the most widely-known Law and for that reason it may be the most misunderstood in how to apply it properly.  It states that like attracts like, so the energy/vibration we put out to the world brings back to us what is reflected in our energy.  It shows how we create pretty much all that happens to us, which means that we alone are responsible for our lives and what we experience.

It does not matter if we believe in the Law of Attraction or not; it exists simply because it is, just as is the case with all the other Laws.  This Law operates by taking into account not just our thoughts (i.e., If I believe something, then I can manifest it), but also our feelings, words, and actions, which all have their own individual frequencies. So, it is the combination of these that causes us to manifest our reality. 

A main reason why some do not believe the Law of Attraction works is because they do not realize that the Law also works with unconscious thoughts as well as conscious ones.  That is why it is so important to monitor your thoughts, especially when working to attract a specific thing or event into your life.
If we want the Law to work for us, we need to remember the following:
      (1)    Know what you want (not what you don’t want).
      (2)    Ask the Universe, God, Source (whatever you call divine power) for what you want.
      (3)    Keep your thoughts focused on what you want.  (Energy goes where attention flows, so
              we get what we think about.)
       (4)  Act as if you already have manifested what you are asking for by feeling the emotion
              you would experience when you actually have it.
       (5)  Do not worry about how you are going to receive what you've asked for.  Just be open
              to receiving it and believe that you deserve it.  You may be pleasantly surprised at how
              it comes to you.
   
So why do we not always get what we want when we have used the Law of Attraction?
There are various reasons for why this happens.  If you unconsciously believe that you are not worthy of what you have asked for, then you are bringing a sense of lack into your life rather than abundance.  You need to get in touch with any thoughts or feelings that are preventing the Law from working, and then work to change them.  Also, your actions need to mirror your thoughts.  If you say to yourself, “I am financially successful” and then turn right around and deny yourself a pleasure such as going out with friends because you don’t think you have enough money, you are putting a roadblock right in front of yourself.

Another reason for the Law of Attraction not working is due to fear. For example, if we say that we want to attract financial abundance, but deep down inside we are afraid that we would be unable to handle such abundance or that it would cause major changes in our lives, then we are putting up another block to getting what we want.

A third reason for the Law not working is if we do not follow all the steps given above.  The one that many people seem to forget or don’t realize its importance is feeling how you would feel when you have what you are asking for.  Really feel the joy, happiness, fulfillment, relief, self-confidence, or any other positive emotion that you would feel in such a situation.  Don’t just say, “I feel happy” but really get into the emotion at a visceral level.  You can even tell yourself out loud,  “I am so happy and grateful that _________ has happened (or that I have received _________).
A good way to find out if you are consciously creating your reality is to ask yourself how your life is going at present. Are you constantly experiencing difficulties or challenges?  Are there many negative people in your life?  If so, then there is a good possibility that you are unconsciously attracting these into your life through thoughts you may not even be aware of. Monitor how you are thinking and change any negative thinking.

Ascended Master El Morya says about the Law of Attraction:  “This is the law that serves to frustrate many souls on the spiritual path, for it mirrors to them that what is hidden within.” (Milanovich & McCune, p. 206).  In other words, it exposes our thoughts, whether conscious or unconscious. Our thoughts and feelings dictate our vibration, or frequency, level.  We send out our energy signals that draw to us things and events that are vibrating at that same frequency.  (This was discussed in an earlier blog on The Law of Vibration.)

Universal Law 8:  The Law of Perpetual Transmutation of Energy
As we have learned from previous blogs, everything is energy.  “Transmutation” means to change from one form into another, and that is exactly what is constantly happening with energy.

This Law states that energy is in a constant state of motion—it never stops vibrating. Therefore, this means that energy is always going back and forth between the physical and non-physical worlds.  Think about this for a minute, because it has huge implications for the truths contained in the Laws we have previously discussed.  Since energy is continually flowing into our consciousness, we have the power to change it into anything we want on the physical plane.  This is why monitoring our thoughts is so important.  If we want this Law to work to our advantage, then we need to have only positive thoughts at a high vibration so they can be reflected and manifested in our material world.
Another important concept to mention here is that at present there is a huge amount of energy pouring onto the Earth through solar flares and other energy sources.  Because of this, we are able to manifest much more quickly than ever before.  Any negative thoughts we have must be recognized and immediately changed to a higher vibration before they have time to become part of our reality.

Why is it important for us to understand this Law?
This Law has extremely important consequences for us today, because it speaks about a truth we are all experiencing more forcefully:  Change is all there is.  Therefore, we must not resist the changes coming into our lives because if we do, we are going against this Law, and this will be reflected in another way, such as a more drastic change or a different one that becomes more of a challenge for us.

Remember that change is normal.  Have you ever heard the expression “The only constant is change”? It may seem contradictory at first, but this Law makes it crystal clear that change is inevitable, and it does not good to fight against it or act like change does not exist or will just go away.
To resist change is to resist growth, learning, and our own personal development.  Think back to the times when you had to go through changes.  Did you come out of it learning an important lesson? If you are honest with yourself, you will admit that in the long run it was indeed worth it, although at the time it may have been anything but beneficial.

Energy in the non-physical world follows this Law too.  Energy takes one form (e.g., our thoughts) and transforms it into another form (e.g., our reality in the physical world).  Everything we can perceive with our five senses and everything that we cannot perceive is constantly changing. We change the formless energy of thoughts into whatever we are focusing our attention on at the moment.  Basically, we are forming and shaping the energy with our minds through our thoughts.
Scientists in a lab looking through a microscope see this Law physically on a regular basis.  If you were to put any physical material item under a high-powered microscope, you will see the molecules moving and taking different shapes and forms.

Nature is another good teacher of this Law, because everything in nature is in the process of either growing or dying.  This is a valuable analogy for us.  If we refuse to accept change and prefer to stand still, then that will result in some part of us not growing, which is a form of dying.
By understanding this Law, it is easier for us to understand how and why the Law of Attraction works.  If we choose thoughts of abundance, this energy will move into the physical plane and manifest as prosperity.  Also remember the importance of emotions as the spark that triggers the Law of Attraction.  We shape energy not just by our thoughts but by feeling what we want to manifest.

In the next blog, to be posted on 12/29/13, we will focus on Laws 9 and 10—The Law of Relativity and The Law of Polarity.

Bi-Weekly Tarot Reading:  12-1-13 through 12-14-13

LEGACY OF THE DIVINE TAROT




2 OF CUPS:  Partnerships and maintaining equilibrium are important.  Make sure you keep balance in your life as you work with others.  The energy you generate by working cooperatively can help you achieve your goals.

2 OF COINS: Reflect on where you have been this year and where you want to go. Remember to go with the ebb and flow of cycles, not forcing things to happen but simply allowing and staying in a playful frame of mind. 

5 OF WANDS: Although there may be some challenges to be dealt with and resistance to overcome, do not take this so seriously.  Instead, see what good can come of the situation and what you can learn in the process.

BI-WEEKLY THEME:  Working in partnership with another will be beneficial as you stay in balance and letting things happen the way they were meant to.  You will be able to get through any difficulties by staying in a positive frame of mind and asking yourself what was the lesson to be learned through the experience.

BLOG #5: UNIVERSAL LAWS 5 & 6

Universal Law 5:  The Law of Cause and Effect

The Law of Cause and Effect states that nothing happens by chance or is coincidental.  Everything happens for a reason, because every action we take (cause) has a related reaction (effect).   In physics, this is expressed through Newton’s third law of motion (“To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.”) This Law requires us to take responsibility for everything that happens to us, because we created it.  The expression “We reap what we sow” is an apt description of this Law.  Because energy moves in a circular fashion, the saying “What goes around, comes around” is also relevant here.

To make this Law work for you, begin now to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, words, and actions come back to you and in what form.  That is, do you find yourself smiling at people and getting a smile in return? Or when in a bad mood, do you just glare at people and get a glare right back?  It is better for us to consciously create our reality rather than being totally unaware of what we are drawing to ourselves. 

For example, if you feel that you are not having a good day, you can change it for the better:

(1)    Notice what is going on inside your head (the cause, which are your thoughts) and what is happening outside of yourself (the effect).

(2)    Do not judge; just be an observer.

(3)    Ask what thought(s) brought about the conditions that are existing now.

(4)    Ask how you can change your thoughts to bring about more positive circumstances.

(5)    Remember how you feel when things are going well, and re-create that feeling, which will allow you to think of something positive and light-filled.
 

Universal Law 6:  The Law of Compensation

The Law of Compensation is very closely tied to the Law of Cause and Effect, because it relates to abundance in the physical world.  It explains the blessings that come to us as a result of the deeds that we do in service to others. 

The flip side of this Law means that we have successes but also have challenges or hardships.  Everything gained has a loss involved too.  Nature demonstrates beautifully the balance and equilibrium that must be maintained according to this Law.  

Look at the natural cycle of the seasons.  The growth in spring produces beautiful leaves on the trees that are that unique shade of green, and on into summer the leaves continue to provide shade and beauty.  As fall approaches, the green turns into the beautiful fall colors of red, orange, yellow, and eventually brown before dying and falling to the ground.  Winter comes and all nature appears to go to sleep, lying dormant and getting ready for the burst of growth in the spring.  Then the whole cycle continues in a perfectly orchestrated and balanced way that demonstrates the Law of Compensation.  There can be no spring growth without the dying process.

Therefore, when there is a challenge or difficulty in your life, realize that this is the Law of Compensation at work, and this cycle will eventually give way to success.

So why do we need to be aware of this Law? 

It is important because if we want abundance in our lives on both a material and spiritual basis, then we must remember the balance of giving and receiving.  It is all about service to others rather than service to self.  If we are in a helping career and we focus on truly helping others rather than how much money we will make in the process, then this Law will allow financial abundance and success to flow to us.  If we forget about the service to others aspect and think mainly of the money we will get, then that will hinder the energy flow of abundance and we will end up with less than what we think we deserve.  It is as simple as that.

An associated Law is the Law of Tenfold Returns, which says that whatever we give is returned to us ten times the value of our gift.  Our gift of return could be related not to just financial abundance but to other types of abundance that are in the spiritual world.  For example, a kind deed could be returned to you by having others give you kindness and support multiplied by ten.

We need to be aware of the Law of Compensation because it shows us the need to release any feelings of there not being enough abundance to go around.  If we are in a poverty consciousness, then this fear will block any abundance that is coming to us.  So remember to change your mind set to “The Universe is abundant, and there is enough for all.”  A good affirmation to say daily to yourself is, “Abundance comes to me effortlessly, and I am grateful and I deserve it.”

In the next blog, we will discuss the Law of Attraction and the Law of Transmutation of Energy.

Every effect has a cause. Every consequence has an antecedent. There must be perfect balance between the cause and effect, between the antecedent and consequence. The law of compensation keeps up the balance, and establishes peace, concord, equilibrium, harmony and justice in Nature. Think deeply. Reflect and cogitate. You will notice that this law of compensation is operating beautifully everywhere in the phenomena of Nature. It on
