2. THE GREAT LAW: “AS YOU SOW,
SO SHALL YOU REAP.”
The simple explanation of the Great Law is: our
thoughts and actions have consequences –
good or bad. If we desire peace, love,
harmony, prosperity, etc. we must be willing to
act accordingly.
This is also known as the “Law of Cause and
Effect.” Also, energy (thought, action) that we
put into the world has a consequence,
immediate or not.
3. THE LAW OF CREATION: “WHAT WE
DESIRE COMES THROUGH
PARTICIPATION.”
The life we see around us was created by a
person’s intentions. As we are one with the
Universe, our intentions determine the
evolution of creation. Since what we surround
ourselves with becomes part of us, it’s our
responsibility to ensure these surroundings are
conducive to our desires.
4. THE LAW OF HUMILITY: “REFUSAL TO
ACCEPT WHAT IS WILL STILL BE WHAT
IS.”
Acceptance is a near-universal virtue in many
belief systems. Simply put, we must first accept
the present circumstances in order to change
them.
In focusing on the negative instead of making
changes to address the negative, we’re
committing to a zero-sum result
5. THE LAW OF GROWTH: “OUR OWN
GROWTH IS ABOVE ANY
CIRCUMSTANCE.”
The only thing we have control over is
ourselves. The subsequent action (or
inaction) of motive will yield either positive
or negative circumstances in our lives.
True change only occurs if we make the
commitment to change what is in our heart.
6. THE LAW OF RESPONSIBILITY: “OUR
LIVES ARE OF OUR OWN DOING,
NOTHING ELSE.”
When there is turbulence in one’s own
life, there is often turbulence
internally. If we’re to change our life,
we must change our frame of mind
and surroundings.
7. THE LAW OF CONNECTION:
“EVERYTHING IN THE UNIVERSE IS
CONNECTED, BOTH LARGE AND
SMALL.”
Our past, present and future are all connected.
As such, we must put in the work to change
these connections if we desire something
different.
No step – first, intermediate or last – is more
important in the accomplishment of a task. All
are required.
8. THE LAW OF FOCUS:
“ONE CANNOT DIRECT ATTENTION
BEYOND A SINGLE TASK.”
Relating to our spiritual growth, we cannot have
negative thoughts or actions and expect to grow
spiritually. We must direct full attention to
achieve any desired task.
9. THE LAW OF HOSPITALITY AND GIVING:
“DEMONSTRATING OUR SELFLESSNESS
SHOWS TRUE INTENTIONS.”
Put simply: what we claim to believe must
manifest into our actions. Selflessness is a
virtue only if we’re accommodating
something other than ourselves.
Without a selfless nature, true spiritual
growth is nearly impossible.
10. THE LAW OF CHANGE:
“HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF UNLESS
CHANGED.”
Conscious commitment to change is the only
method of influencing the past. History will
continue along an unconstructive path until
positive energies direct it elsewhere.
11. THE LAW OF HERE AND NOW:
“THE PRESENT IS ALL WE HAVE.”
Looking back regretfully and forward pointlessly
robs oneself of a present opportunity. Old
thoughts and patterns of behavior negate the
present chance to advance ourselves.
12. THE LAW OF PATIENCE AND REWARD:
“NOTHING OF VALUE IS CREATED
WITHOUT A PATIENT MINDSET.”
Toiling away cannot be circumvented through
wishful thinking. Our rewards are claimed only
through patience and persistence, nothing else.
Rewards are not the end-result. True, lasting joy
comes from the knowledge of doing what’s
necessary in the rightful anticipation of a reward
that is well-earned.
13. THE LAW OF SIGNIFICANCE AND
INSPIRATION:
“THE BEST REWARD IS ONE THAT
CONTRIBUTES TO THE WHOLE.”
The end result is of little value if it leaves little
or nothing behind.
Energy and intentions are vital components that
determine the significance of an end-result.
Ideally, love and passion embody the motives of
one that resolves to leave a lasting impression
on the Whole.
