Last issue we
explored four natural laws of life: the Law of Alignment or Bonding,
the Law of Change, the Law of Entropy, and the Law of Choice and
Opportunity. (If you missed this article, you can find it online at www.alaskwellness.com).
If you have struggles and conflicts that cause you to feel powerless
in life, see if working with the natural laws instead of against them
makes your life easier while releasing unwanted drama.
The
Law of Good: More and Better
Life is
naturally good. The
nature of life is to create and recreate, to build and perfect. Life
itself is a perfecting process never designed to actually be perfect.
In the natural order, everything is getting better and better. There
is something within us that strives for something better no matter how
good we have it. Desire keeps us alive and developing.
Some call this
evolution. As things evolve they become better or more. From mud huts
to mansions, it is easy to see how much nicer indoor toilets are for
everyone. Life is getting easier, more interesting and more
entertaining all the time. If you look back through history you can
see the secret laws of life at work. When really bad things happened,
really good things came out of it. Progress was accelerated. Life
makes lemonade out of lemons all the time. You can see how this
natural law is exploited in the media with promises of more and
better. But one thing you can always count on is that things will
improve. They always do. Everything is always trying to get better,
including you.
The reason why
we sometimes can’t see that life is naturally good is because we pay
so much attention to the bad and very little to the good. We take the
good for granted. The mind picks out anything that might threaten it
and magnifies it. It will often keep the undesirable on the forefront
of our consciousness until it is no longer a threat. Good is so normal
and natural that some people actually need to be taught to count their
blessings, for they can’t see them. If life were naturally bad, it
would destroy itself. If life were naturally bad, the good would stick
out like a sore thumb. Everyone has a storm now and then, but balance
is the norm; the sun is always shining up there somewhere.
The
Law of Supply (Giving or Contribution)
Life
automatically supplies us with what we need to live our design and
complete our mission or purpose in life. We all have a job to do:
talents to perfect, skills to develop. Life will propel us toward the
best place to fulfill our potential and receive our supply. There is
no set pay for any job. Each is paid what they believe they are worth.
That doesn’t
mean we are all supposed to be rich. That would upset the balance. We
are designed to have more than enough.
Everyone contributes in some way. Everyone flows energy through
themselves. Everyone works for, builds, perfects, or maintains life—the
whole. If there were no sick people, there would be a lot of people
who wouldn’t have jobs or anything to study. Some people are here to
give other people jobs. Others are here to manage the wealth of the
community. They need to be paid more so they can spread it around.
We all serve
each other—from the food on our table, to the entertainment we watch
on television. Maybe watching TV is a valuable contribution because it
allows talented people to keep contributing their talent. So, relax:
do your job. Notice that life wants you provided for, entertained, and
educated. The only one that withholds anything from you is usually
you.
The
Law of Forgiveness
Life forgives
everyone for everything all the time. Justice is blind because life is
a perfecting process that doesn’t hold grudges.
Hey, that’s
not very fair, is it? Well, life is not fair. If we expect life to be
fair we will always be disappointed. Life doesn’t place conditions
on us. Life doesn’t punish us either. It grants permission to
everyone to go forth and make as many mistakes as needed. Remember,
life is a perfecting process. If you don’t get wisdom and experience to make you better,
you get to repeat the mistake.
Mistakes are a
part of the natural order. Life expects us to make mistakes. Mistakes
are the learning devices that life turns into wisdom and experience.
After all, practice makes perfect. But perfect is not something that
lasts. Why? Because you can always make it better or transform it into
something else.
We hold our
mistakes against ourselves from the mistaken idea that we are supposed
to be perfect, instead of merely perfecting. Then we get into a
downward spiral of punishing others and ourselves constantly for
‘not being’ something we are not designed to be: perfect. So, let yourself off the hook. Admit
that everyone is imperfect. Drop the shame and guilt. Work to forgive yourself—and
others. Only then do you get the wisdom. Since energy never dies
(it only transforms), sooner or later you have to get on with the
journey. You have forever to get it right.
Law
of Cause and Effect
Every cause
has an equal and corresponding effect. If you throw a rock into a
pond, ripples flow outward. If the ripples hit a rock, they bounce off
and more ripples are created. If the ripples hit a wall of rock, their
reverberating waves will come back at you.
This is also
the law of karma. In short, what you give out is what you get back in
some way, shape or form. Or, “It is done unto us as we do unto
others.” This is true unless we learned a lesson and were forgiven.
And this is the place where the Laws of Motion/Action join with the
Laws of Mind…

loved Laws of Mind. We will explore how your mind can be your greatest
curse or your greatest blessing.
