Creating your Future is an Exact Science
Universal Law by Tony Davies
Dr. Wernher Von Braun, whom many consider the "father" of the space program, was once quoted as saying "...I just can't envision this whole universe coming together without something like divine will. The natural laws of the universe are so precise that we have no difficulty building a spaceship to the moon and can time the flight with the precision of a fraction of a second." Those universal laws are the subject of the articles in this blog.

Creating your Future is an Exact Science
by June McHardy
I recently rediscovered a book which I
read many years ago. It's called "The Science of Getting Rich"
by Wallace D. Wattles written in 1910. When I read it
originally, I'll admit that there were many statements which I
doubted - or else had to take on complete faith. This new
reading however, pointed out to me that the principles he used
in this book 90 years ago are universal and are as true today as
they were back then. They are the same basic principles that
Deepak Chopra explains in "How to know God" and that Wayne Dyer
talks about in "Manifest your Destiny".
In all cases they are speaking about using the Natural Laws of
the Universe to manifest our own future - notwithstanding
whether our dreams and goals include getting rich. In actual
fact, the same principles can be applied to anything which is
important to us - changing from illness to wellness, creating
wonderful relationships, getting a new job, or enjoying peace
and joy in our lives.
Wattles gives us some principles to use when making this
commitment to improving our lives. He asks us to take them on
faith even though they may not make intellectual sense to us
just yet. Here in the rather ponderous words of his time are
those principles:
There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and
which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills
the interspaces of the universe.
A thought in this substance produces the thing that is imaged
by the thought.
A person can form things in his thoughts, and, by impressing
his thought upon formless substance, can cause the thing he
thinks about to be created. In order to do this a person must
pass from the competitive to the creative mind.
A person may come into full harmony with the formless substance
by entertaining a lively and sincere gratitude for the blessings
it bestows upon him.
A person must form a clear and definite mental image of the
things he wishes to have, to do or to become and he must hold
this mental image in his thoughts with frequent contemplation,
unwavering faith and sincere gratitude.
In order to receive his good when it is ready, he must more
than fill his present space - He must do, every day, all that
can be done that day. He must give to every person a use value
in excess of the cash value he receives, so that each
transaction makes for more life for himself and for all with
whom he comes in contact.
...and the riches which they receive will be in exact
proportion to their vision, the fixity of their purpose, the
steadiness of their faith and the depth of their gratitude.

and enjoy!
"The grateful mind is constantly fixed upon the best. Therefore
it tends to become the best. It takes the form or character of
the best, and will receive the best." —Wallace D. Wattles

Universal Law
by Tony Davies
The Universe is an orderly place, governed
by a set of unbreakable Laws. To live a successful and
fulfilling life, one must understand and live by these Laws.
Have you ever had “one of those days” when absolutely everything
goes wrong? Have you ever wondered why some people are
successful, while others spend their entire lives struggling? Do
you ever get the feeling that someone is out to get you because
everything you touch goes wrong? If you’re like most people,
these thoughts do occur to you from time to time. But what is
the answer to these questions? Is it a question of luck, could
it be fate or is there something else going on here of which
most people are unaware?
The answer is both all around us and within us, and is called
Universal Law. Just like there are Natural Laws that govern
nature (such as gravity), there are other Laws which govern all
that happens in the universe. From the spiritual to the physical
to the mental, everything that happens does so according to Law.
You see, the Universe around us is a very orderly place in which
nothing occurs by chance. Even though one cannot see the Laws,
or hear them, smell them or taste them, they are there. They
apply to everything and everyone – nothing is exempt. Whether
one is aware of these Laws or not, they still apply - just like
the Law of Gravity. Even though one may not be aware of or
understand Gravity, it always works. No matter who you are, if
you decide to step off the top of a tall building, you will fall
at an increasing rate of speed until you reach terminal velocity
or until you impact the ground.
So what are these Laws and how do they work? There are literally
dozens of Universal Laws that exist, but for ease of
understanding, they can be distilled down to a main seven:
1. Law of Control
2. Law of Accident
3. Law of Cause & Effect
4. Law of Belief
5. Law of Expectation
6. Law of Attraction
7. Law of Correspondence
From these seven, everything else flows. The beauty of the Laws
is that once one understands and lives in accordance with them,
life becomes extremely simple.
Law of Control
The Law of Control simply states that we have high self-esteem
and feel good about ourselves to the exact degree that we feel
we are in control of our lives. Unfortunately, the majority of
the population does not live according to the Law of Control,
but rather by its inverse, the Law of Accident. The truth of the
matter is that every one of us is in total control of our life,
but until one takes the step to determine that they are
personally responsible for what happens to them, then they
cannot help but live by Accident.
Law of Accident
This Law states that we feel badly about ourselves and have low
self-esteem to the degree that we feel events and circumstances
control our lives. In other words, we are the victims of
whatever else happens around us. If good things happen, then we
benefit, but if bad things happen, we play the victim.
Law of Cause & Effect
This Law is also known as the Iron Law of Human Destiny because
it is so profound and powerful. Simply stated, the Law of Cause
& Effect says that everything happens for a reason. All actions
have consequences, as do all inactions. Distilled down to the
simplest possible terms, this law states that for every effect
in one’s life, there is a specific cause. The law can also be
applied in the physical sense through examination of Sir Isaac
Newton’s third Law of Motion, which states that “for every
action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” If, for
example, you were to hold your hand over a candle’s flame (the
cause) the effect would be that your hand would burn and it
would hurt!
The truly wonderful thing about this law is that by definition
then, we should be able to manifest that which we truly want
(the effect), simply by exerting the same causes that others
before us have exerted and been successful.
Law of Belief
The Law of Belief states that whatever you believe with feeling
and conviction becomes your reality. It is not until you change
your beliefs that you can begin to change your reality and your
performance.
You have heard the doubters and the naysayers out there who
always proclaim “I’ll believe it when I see it!” In reality, it
is the other way around; it is not until you believe it, that
you will see it (no matter what “it” is)! Self-limiting beliefs
are perhaps the most detrimental of all thoughts, since they
absolutely will keep you from the success that you may want, but
don’t believe you can attain. There is an old saying that goes
”whether you think you can or you can’t, your right!” This
saying is completely congruent with the Law of Belief.
Law of Expectation
Simply stated, the Law of Expectations tells us that whatever
one expects, with confidence, becomes a self-fulfilling
prophecy. When one expects with confidence that good things will
happen, they usually will. If, on the other hand, one expects a
negative outcome to a situation, then the outcome will usually
be negative.
Our expectations play a key role in our own outcomes and they
also have a remarkable effect on the people around us. What we
expect from those around us determines our attitude toward them
more than any other factor. In turn, the people around us tend
to reflect our attitudes right back at us - whether the
expectations and attitudes are positive or negative, good or
bad.
Law of Attraction
The Law of Attraction states that we attract into our lives,
that which we focus our thoughts upon. If your thoughts are
constantly on positive outcomes and good results, then that is
what we will manifest. If, on the other hand, your predominant
thoughts are on negative outcomes and poor results, then that is
what you will attract. This is based on the fact that the
Universe is simply vibrational energy in motion. Emotions,
thoughts, feelings and objects – absolutely everything has a
vibrational frequency. Since like attracts like, it is only
logical that the vibrational frequency of your predominant
thoughts will attract results that have a similar vibrational
frequency. We know that emotions that are love-based (love,
desire, happiness, wonder, joy etc.) have a very high
vibrational frequency, whereas emotions that are fear-based
(anger, hatred, intolerance, fear, sadness etc.) vibrate at a
very low frequency.
Law of Correspondence
“As within, so without” is an old saying that perfectly
describes the Law of Correspondence. This simply means that what
happens on the outside is merely a reflection of what is
happening on the inside. Your outer world is a reflection of
your inner world. An individual that is unhappy and living in
conflict with themselves, will always exhibit negative behaviors
on the outside.
Sometimes, one can mask these negative behaviors and thoughts,
but the true feelings will eventually reveal themselves.
Everything in our lives is a mirror of what is happening within
us. If you want to make your outside life better, the only way
to accomplish this is to change what is happening on the inside.
In order to live the successful, happy life we all deserve, it
is necessary to understand and live by Universal Law. The best
way to do this is to first and foremost, take control over your
thoughts and to stay in the present moment. Ask yourself
constantly; "What am I thinking about right now?" If the answer
is something negative, then take the opportunity to change your
thoughts. This will start to put you back in control of your
life which is the first step to lasting happiness and peace of
mind!
