CHAPTER 1
Consciousness
1. Consciousness, the first of the immutable, spiritual and universal laws, is the progenitor of thought. The spirit, nature and energy of consciousness all reside in a thought. Consciousness may exist without the appearance of thought, but a thought will never exist without the appearance of consciousness.
2. "Nothing proceeds but from a thought." Thought is the cause of everything. Without a thought, there is no comprehension. A comprehensive understanding is the foundation on which man builds himself. It is his perception of himself as himself related to the current reality. Understanding is the answer to the questions of who you are, where you are, and why you are. As your thoughts are, so are you. As your thoughts go, so go you. "The universe is mental." "Man is mind." Be ye not conformed ... but be ye rather transformed ... by the renewing of your mind.
3. Reality cannot precede a thought. Beyond a thought, perception is impossible. Everything that we experience is through our five senses. Anything discovered or identified in the physical world, has its origin in the invisible mental and spiritual realm. All things manifest from the totality of spiritual energy. Your mind and the consciousness, thereof, identified as spirit from a religious perspective, energy from a scientific perspective, or thought from a psychological point of view, is part of the single, universal mind of collective consciousness and spiritual energy.
4. All energy and matter at all levels is created by, and is subordinate to the ubiquitous, universal mind and spirit. There is but one spirit and intelligent consciousness that pervades the entire universe; all knowing, all creative and always present. As a unique aspect of creation, made in the image and after the likeness of the Creator, it is present in you, as it is present in all things everywhere at the same time. Your mind and spirit is part of the one universal mind and spirit, all collective consciousness and spiritual energy. As it holds true of your nature, the nature of the universal mind and spirit is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, and omnificent. All these attributes are present in you at all times in their potential form. It is the same in kind and in quality as the whole, as the micro- of the macro-cosm, the difference only being one of degree.
5. Your reality is a manifestation of your mind and spirit, and the evidence of your existence, as you, yourself, are a reality, and evidence of the existence of the unseen universal mind and spirit. You are an irrefutable fact of consciousness. You are the proof of the truth you seek. In the scientific community, we refer to the unified field. In spiritual philosophy, we call this universal consciousness or the "All" of life. In religion, we know this to be the Most High God, who goes by many names.
6. The Tetrammaton is the Hebrew word for God, translated consonantly YHWH. Jehovah is the latin-ization of Hebrew. Para-brahma is the name of the Highest Brahman beyond all conceptualization; Zeus is the supreme name of the God given to the Olympians in Greece. Krishna is the name of the deity superior to all others and worshipped across many traditions of Hinduism. Rastafari used the term Jah [as in hallelujah], as the name of the Most High God. In Arabic, one of the known 99 names of the Creator of everything is Allah, which literally means "one God." The name you choose is only relevant in how it resonates with you.
7. As we all share the light of a single sun, there is but one universal Consciousness [God] that enlightens us all. When the body of any living thing is void of Consciousness, it is inanimate. It is not alive. It is considered to be dead. All things begin and end with a thought. Reality cannot precede a thought, beyond a thought, perception is impossible. "I am thinking, therefore I exist." "I think, therefore I am." To think you are not the greatest manifestation of your mind is to think that your reality could exist without you.
CHAPTER 2Correspondence
1. Correspondence is the immutable second of the seven spiritual universal laws. Every living thing is connected and inner-related to every other living thing. As human beings, we are connected to one another biologically, we are connected to the earth chemically, and we are connected to everything in the solar systems, galaxies, and the universe atomically. As one thing is affected, then so is every other. There is a correspondence between the physical, mental and spiritual realms. (As above, so as below.)
2. There is no separation, since everything in the universe originates from a single source. (As one thing is affected, then so is every other.) Only through correspondence is it possible to become one with the creation as well as with the Creator. All knowledge comes through the correspondence of the senses with the vibration of the environment.
3. Inside of the spiritual universal law of correspondence is the principle of order. Where there is law, there will so be order. The universe and all of the energy comprised thereof, operates with exact order. But, for order, can anything on any plane of existence multiply. Without order there is no sacred geometry or flower of life. There is no addition, subtraction or division without order. Without order, there is no mathematics. Without order there would be no sequence or pattern to observe. Without order, there would be no method, no science.
4. As correspondence is the expressed relationship between a part and the whole, order is the way in which one thing in the universe is connected to all others. Without order, there is no connection. There is no communication, nor understanding, only chaos and confusion. Without order, there cannot be life. There is a Divine order to the correspondence of everything in the universe.
CHAPTER 3Vibration
1. The immutable trinity is completed by Vibration, the third of the seven universal spiritual laws. Science has taught us nothing, if it has not taught us that everything in the universe is in a constant state of motion. This law tells us that nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates. The entire universe is but a vibration.
2. Science has firmly established that everything in the universe is pure energy vibrating at different frequencies. Inside of the universal spiritual law of vibration is the principle of Attraction. It is the axiom that "like attracts like." Everything we experience through our five physical senses is communicated through vibration. The same is applicable to the mental realm. What you give, is what you get. All of your emotions are vibrations, where unconditional love is the highest and most subtle of the emotions and vibrations, and hate is the densest and most base.
3. All mental vibrations can be controlled at will by the passage of the electric current of a thought through the coils of the brain surrounding it. There can be no consciousness absent of vibration. All physical and mental energy resides in, and is the result of, vibration. Everything seen and unseen in the universe runs on energy. That which we do not give energy to cannot exist.
4. Through the universal and spiritual law of vibration, we attract everything we receive in life on all plains of existence. We attract into our lives circumstances and conditions that correspond with the nature of our most powerful, frequent thoughts, conscious and subconscious. We attract to ourselves that with which we are in vibration-al harmony; your dominant mental attitude is determined by your habitual thoughts.
5. A positive attitude/vibration attracts positive experiences, while a negative mental attitude attracts circumstances and conditions that may be perceived as negative or undesirable. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Ask, and it shall be given you; seek and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you ...
CHAPTER 4Polarity
1. The fourth of the seven universal spiritual laws is the first mutable and transcend-able law of Polarity. Polarity tells us everything in the universe, seen and unseen, has poles. In its entirety, everything is dual. There are two sides to everything. Things that appear as opposites are, in fact, the two extremes of the same thing.
2. In Chinese philosophy and religion, this is the yin and yang of a thing. They may appear to be opposites, at first, but the truth is they are simply varying degrees, or the two sides equaling the whole of a thing. The same applies to hot and cold, peace and war, love and hate, energy and matter.
3. The human brain is comprised of two sides. The cerebral hemispheres are divided down the middle into a right hemisphere and a left hemisphere. The left side of the brain is negative and the right side of the brain is positive. Although each hemisphere is virtually identical in terms of structure, each hemisphere operates in very different ways, and is associated with very different activities.
4. The Egyptians in ancient Kemet observed the left side of the body was governed by the right hemisphere of the brain. Conversely, the right side of the body was directly influenced by the left side. As with the human brain and body, bilateral symmetry is a characteristic of all animals that are able to move freely throughout their environment. It is impossible for one side to function properly without its equal/balanced other side. Inside the paradoxical polarization of polarity we find the state in which opposing forces or influences are balanced; that state of reaction in which its forward or reverse reactions occur at equal rates, so that the concentration of the reactants and products do not change with time.
5. A duality exits in all things made manifest. This means there are two sides to everything that operates in the physical and the mental realms. Only the universal mind and spirit are above both sides. The Bhagavad Gita states "God is above the opposites."
6. To transcend the interaction of the positive and negative energy of polarity, we must first place the universal mind and spirit of - which you are an intricate part - behind your every thought, word, act and deed. Always focus on the good, even when the most astonishing situation may appear to be bad. In the spiritual realm of the universal mind, all is one.
CHAPTER 5Rhythm
1. The universal spiritual law of Rhythm is the 2nd of the mutable and transcend-able laws, as well as the 5th of the seven universal laws. Rhythm informs us everything in the universe flows in and out to form a uniform pattern, such as that of a heartbeat, brainwave, or the like.
2. Everything has a tide, all things rise and fall in time producing rhythm. As seen in the reoccurrences of strong and weak; from the melodic and harmonic waves of the ocean, to the swaying of your thoughts from a positive state of mind to a negative state.
3. The duration from one state to the other, then repeated in speech, music, or the like, is rhythm. The fact of this principle is evident in the personal success and failures of an individual, to the ebb and flow of business cycles. The greatest nations and empires all have risen and fallen in accordance with the universal spiritual law of rhythm.
4. When anything moving in a specified direction touches the point of culmination, the backward swing of the pendulum begins again; until any forward movement has been totally reversed. Only then will the forward motion begin once more, and the process repeat. The measure of the swing to the right is the measure of swing to the left, exerting an opposite force or effect; rhythm compensates.
5. There is prosody in language, there is rhythm in procreation. There is a rhythm to every vibration that consists of the universe. There is a rhythm to every manifested measure of motion, between both sides of a single thing, and between a pair of poles of every other thing.
6. A recurring pattern of coming and going or decline and growth enables transition from one pole to the other, and not necessarily the poles of the extreme. To rise above the transcend-able law of rhythm, know that you are one with the universal mind and spirit.
7. Keep your positive thought energy focused on your outcome. Find solace in the fact that no matter how far back the degree of the pendulum swing, by virtue of this very same law, the forward motion must start again, and that measure be matched.
8. Transcending rhythm is knowing that one side only exists because of the other side, and only together do they account for the experiences of your life. Your perseverance will be rewarded as you come to know the effect or condition is temporary; only the energy or cause is eternal.
CHAPTER 6Cause and Effect
1. The sixth of the seven universal spiritual laws is Cause and Effect, the third of the mutable laws. Cause and Effect tells us every effect manifested in the physical world has a specified beginning in the mental world. Every effect has its cause, and every cause has its effect.
2. The effect seen, however measurable and/or finite is the proof of its unseen cause, which is not finite. Every thought, word, act or deed sets a specific effect in motion, which will come to materialize in time. Thought is the creator, it is the cause, and it is the why. The effect is the creation. It is the what. It is the manifestation. It is the matter of fact.
3. In Hinduism, in Buddhism, destiny or fate is the following effect of a cause. We determine what we get, by what we give. For this reason, it will always be better to give than to receive.
4. Through cause and effect, we authoritatively prescribe the course of our reality. Your current condition is the direct consequence of your previous state of existence, as your future experience is resolved by your present circumstances. We are the result of cause and effect, as we affect the cause of every tangible thing in the universe. There is no chance or luck in this law.
5. Everything in your reality is a mental creation commanded by your thoughts, conforming to cause and effect. Your thoughts cause the effect of your reality. If you are not experiencing the effect you desire, do not dwell in the effect. Simply make an intentional, determined attempt to adjust the cause.
6. The universal spiritual law of cause and effect is relevant on all three plains of existence: the spiritual plane, the mental plane and the physical plane of things made manifest. As the abstract idea of time and distance does not exist on the spiritual plane, your intentions are instantly created, seemingly inseparable. Whereas, on the psychological (mental) and physical planes of existence there is always the passing of time and space between the cause and effect.
7. There is no physical manifestation without mental visualization. That which you aspire to create in the physical world is automatically manifested in the mental world. As you come to know that you are a creator and the master of your thoughts, you will become fully aware of the fact that you have the ability to create your destiny and determine your own intended reality.
8. There is no effect without you, its cause. Everything you experience in your life only happens because you exist. You are that cause.
CHAPTER 7Gender
1. The state of being male or female is the final mutable, and the last of the seven spiritual universal laws. Everything conceived in the mind (psychological, on the mental plane), and subsequently generated on the plane of things made manifest has gender. This principle is not only evident throughout the universe, from the negative charge of an electron, found in all atoms, to the magnetic poles of the very planet we live on.
2. Gender can be observed socially, culturally, and biologically. Gender is commonly referred to as "opposite sexes" found in all human beings, as well as other animals, plants and minerals.
3. There is a gender in the look of an eye, the base of a voice or the touch of a hand. It is in the smell of a fragrance to the taste of our palates. Among all outward expressions and inward feelings, is gender.
4. There is both a masculine and a feminine quality in everything. Within every woman are all the latent qualities of a man, and within every man, those of a woman. There is no complete manifestation without the coming together of both genders.
5. Grammatical gender can be seen in the nouns and pronouns of some languages, distinguished by the inflections required in words syntactically associated with them. All psychological and biological regeneration, renewal, restoration, or any measure of growth that makes organisms and ecosystems resilient to the natural events of existing, is only possible because of gender.
