Spiritual Laws that Govern our Lives
We all incarnate to experience life in a physical body. Earth is a mystery school, a place where our lessons are presented to us in the form of situations or particular people. It is the way in which we deal with our life circumstances that determines whether or not we pass our examinations. When we respond to all our tests with compassion, strength and understanding we become masters.
The aim of everyone who incarnates on Earth is ascension or enlightenment, which is the total mastery of all the lessons offered here. This may take many lifetimes for, if we hurt or harm another we earn karma, which is a debt and must be repaid. Very often our soul will want us to return to Earth to meet the same people and similar situations in order to experience the challenges again or to complete unresolved issues.
When we are born we forget our spiritual connection and our past experiences on Earth or elsewhere. However, we do not walk our pathway alone. We all have a guardian angel who is with us throughout all our lives. Everyone also has a spirit guide who has lived on Earth and volunteered after death to train as a guide to help those who are still here. Your spirit guide is attracted to you according to the light you radiate, and different guides come to you as you change.
There are also ascended masters, those who have already mastered the lessons on Earth, and are helping the whole planet to evolve. We can ask them in prayer or meditation for help. In overall command is the Source, who is known as God, Brahma, the Creator, the Godhead or the Divine. Your soul is a higher aspect of you, which holds all the experiences of your journeys through many planes of existence. A part of your soul, which is your personality self, has been sent to Earth to learn. Your task on Earth is to remember who you are.
A window of opportunity has opened now for spiritual growth. Many souls are wishing to incarnate to take advantage of it. We have the chance to pay off all our karmic debts and master our lessons.
At this time there is also more spiritual guidance and help available to us than ever before so that we can move quickly towards ascension. In order to do so it helps to understand the spiritual laws so that we can move for- ward with clarity and understanding on our journey.
The Basic Laws of Life
1. As Above, So Below
This is the first Law of the Universe. On Earth as it is in heaven.
The Universe loves you and holds a vision of your future as an enlightened person no matter what mistakes you are making on Earth.
The Universe waits without judgment as we experience and learn. When we are ready it opens new doors.
When you are ready to receive something from the Universe, ask calmly and pleasantly. They will be delighted to let you have it. Value it when you get it.
The same things touch God's heart as touch a human heart.
2. As Within, So Without
Earth is a place of learning where our lessons are presented to us by making our outside world an exact reflection of our inner world.
If you are angry inside, even though you may have buried the anger so deeply you are unaware of it, you will find angry people in your life. They are mirroring your denied anger back to you.
If you have a deep sense of abandonment, which may well have orig- inated in another life, people will reflect that back to you. They may leave you, withdraw emotionally or even die.
If you are self-critical and constantly beat yourself up with your thoughts, you will attract people who will reflect this by putting you down or even physically hitting you.
The person who feels secure, loved, safe and happy inside will have a secure, safe and happy life surrounded by people who love him or her. Your inner integrity will be matched by those around you. The people in your life will be creative, generous-hearted, honest or modest to the extent that you are.
The Universe rearranges itself to reflect your reality.
When we who have signed up for this course on Earth wish to change something in our lives, we must look within to alter our beliefs and attitudes in order for our outer world to change. If we wish to change society, enough people must change themselves.
The Universe rearranges itself to bring you what you believe.
3. The Law of Request
Under spiritual law, if you want help, you must ask for it.
In the spiritual realms no angel or Higher Being of Light would dream of interfering in your life. Yes, they will save you from serious accident if that is not your karma, or death if it is not your time. However, they will stand by with total compassion and patience and watch you making a mess of your situation if that is what you need for your growth. Not only is it spiritual bad manners for them to interfere but it also stops you from learning and becoming stronger.
There are times when it is appropriate to ask for help.
As soon as you are ready to ask for help you are ready to receive it. You are ready to accept the wisdom that goes with it. Then the higher powers will align themselves to help you.
When you need help from the angels, Krishna, the ascended masters or any of the spiritual hierarchy of light, first quiet and center yourself. Meditate on what you really want and find clarity about it. Then ask the beings to whom you wish to address your request for the help you require. They will always help you.
The Universe is waiting to help you. All you have to do is ask.
4. The Law of Attraction
The vibration you emit is made up of your conscious and unconscious energy, some repellent, some magnetic, some neutral. The underlying law is like attracts like. We attract into our lives people and situations that have similar vibrations to our own.
Negative qualities such as neediness, desperation, depression, greed, unkindness or thoughtlessness transmit on a low frequency. If we have elements of these in our nature, we will magnetize someone with similar energy into our life. Qualities such as love, kindness, happiness, delight or generosity transmits a high-frequency energy and also magnetize people with similar energy. Spiritual law is exact. The Universe provides mirrors for us to look into.
Our underlying beliefs attract situations and people to us. If you have a belief that you are not deserving, you will attract people into your life who mirror that belief back to you by treating you badly.
If you have a belief that no one could possibly understand you, you will magnetize people who do not understand you.
The inner attracts the outer. If something in your outer world is not what you want it to be, look inside and shift how you feel about yourself. You will then automatically attract different people and experiences to you.
You are a magnet: you attract like to you.
5. The Law of Resistance
You become what you resist. Whatever you resist persists in your life and uses up your energy in struggle.
Never resist failure or poverty. Instead attract success and wealth. Always embrace the positive rather than resisting the negative.
Releasing control frees energy.
The Law of Resistance is triggered by victim consciousness. A victim is someone who blames others for his fate, believes the world owes him a living and that he cannot possibly look after himself. When someone is thinking, 'Poor me. I can't look after myself,' or 'I am so unlucky,' he is being a victim who is resisting the abundance, generosity and caring of the Divine. If someone is blaming another for what is happening in his own life, he is a victim who is resisting taking personal responsibility for what he has created. When we feel angry or guilty we resist the joy of life and the magnificence of self.
If you have a recurring pattern of failure, picture yourself succeeding.
Quit resisting. Decide what you do want in life and start to send out magnetic, excited, enthusiastic energies to draw the positive to you.
What you resist persists in your life and drains you of energy.
Embrace what you do want and feel alive.
6. The Law of Reflection
Earth is an amazing place of learning where you are constantly being given an opportunity to look at yourself in a mirror. Every single person and situation in your life is a mirror of an aspect of you. As within so without.
When you see yourself in a mirror you may not like what you see; you may claim the reflection is distorted but you rarely insist that it is someone else entirely that you see. When the Universe presents us with someone or something in life, this is equally a mirror. We can rant about it or deny it. However, the spiritual Law of Reflection reminds us to look in the mirror and change ourselves.
The more a characteristic in someone else bothers you, the more your soul is trying to draw a reflection to your attention.
All the people that you really like are mirroring aspects of yourself that you feel good about.
Whatever comes into your life, look into the mirror and see what it has to teach you. Once we understand the Law of Reflection we can expand our spiritual growth by looking at what life is telling us. Our journey on Earth becomes a fascinating and exciting experience.
There are two ways to interpret what you see in a mirror. One is that you are seeing your projection. The other is that you are seeing an aspect that you have attracted. To find a projection, talk about the person or situation. For example you may say, 'You are a generous but aggravating person.' Look within at your generous aspect and the part of you that is aggravating.
To find how you attracted the reflection, be aware of how the person or situation makes you feel. For example, 'You make me feel inadequate' shows you a reflection of your inadequacy.
Never try to change someone else for they are reflecting you. Look within and change yourself.
7. The Law of Projection
On Earth, aspects of self are reflected back to us. All that we perceive out- side ourselves is a mirror of something within. Therefore everything that we see outside ourselves is a projection, too. We take an aspect of self - stubbornness for instance and imagine that quality is in those around us.
We project our stuff, both good and bad, onto other people and assume it is within them, often denying it is within us.
Your life is what you experience. Other people probably experience it
very differently. So watch your projections and work on yourself. Understanding this law offers enormous opportunities for personal and spiritual growth.
You do not know how anyone feels or is. Everything you see in another is a projection of an aspect of yourself.
8. The Law of Attachment
You can have anything you wish in your life but if your sense of self-worth or your happiness depends on having it, then you are attached to it. Whoever or whatever you are attached to can manipulate you. You are no longer free. You are a puppet on a string.
The Universe is a soup of energy. Like attracts like. Certain energies repel. The dance goes on between the atoms. However, there are certain people in this great cauldron of energy that are corded together. They are drawn together from great distances and from lifetime to lifetime. The cord may bind and trap them. They will pull and tug at each other, mentally, emotionally and physically and are often completely unaware of the effect they have on each other.
Cords are formed between people who have unresolved issues between them. Every time you send thoughts or words of anger, hurt, jealousy, envy or need to someone, you manifest a tiny thread that attaches to them. An occasional thought will dissolve but if you consistently send negative feelings out, the threads will form cords or ropes. These will remain and bind you together until they are released.
In subsequent lifetimes the cords will reactivate and draw you inevitably towards those with whom you have unresolved issues. This is in order to offer your souls the opportunity to do things differently. We can also be attached to things. Negative energies such as greed, pride, need and envy can send huge cords to objects like houses, cars, jobs or bank accounts. This is why we refer to the trappings of wealth.
Cords can attach people to intangible things, for example a need for love. If you are tied to a desire for recognition, this can be the psychic equivalent of having a ball and chain around your ankle. You may be corded to imprisoning energies such as self-deprecation or aloofness. Detachment is a prerequisite for enlightenment.
If you wish to be free, detach yourself from everyone and everything. It is a prerequisite for enlightenment.
Life on Earth is a team game. It is vital to learn the rules so that you can participate and make your contribution.
When we follow the spiritual laws we are able to reach enlighten- ment. We experience a feeling of oneness and live in love, compassion and trust. We become masters, following our own guidance and not allowing ourselves to be deflected by anyone else. Our greatest joy is to serve humanity and the Universe.
This is heaven on Earth. Life becomes joyous, peaceful and harmo- nious. We cooperate with and empower others. We let go of our ego desires and live for the Divine.
