The Law of Cause and Effect Part 2

The [universal[Law of Cause and Effect    [Part 2]

If you step back for a moment and witness the choices you are making as you make those
choices, then in just this act of witnessing, you take the whole process
from the unconscious realm into the conscious realm.
This procedure of conscious choice-making and witnessing is very empowering.
When you make any choice — any choice at all — you can ask yourself two things: First of
all, “What are the consequences of this choice that I’´m making?”
In your heart you will immediately know what these are.
Secondly, “Will this choice that I’m making now bring happiness to me and to those around me?”
If the answer is yes, then go ahead with that choice.
If the answer is no, if that choice brings distress either to
you or to those around you, then don’t make that choice. It’s as simple as that.

There is only one choice, out of the infinity of choices available in every second, that will
create happiness for you as well as for those around you. And when you make that one choice,
it will result in a form of behaviour that is called spontaneous right action. Spontaneous right
action is the right action at the right moment. It’s the right response to every situation as it
happens. It’s the action that nourishes you and everyone else who is influenced by that action.

There is a very interesting mechanism that the universe has to help you make spontaneously
correct choices. The mechanism has to do with sensations in your body. Your body
experiences two kinds of sensations: one is a sensation of comfort, the other is a sensation of
discomfort. At the moment you consciously make a choice, pay attention to your body and ask
your body, “If I make this choice, what happens?” If your body sends a message of comfort,
that’s the right choice. If your body sends a message of discomfort, then it’s not the appropriate
choice.
For some people the message of comfort and discomfort is in the area of the solar plexus,
but for most people it’s in the area of the heart. Consciously put your attention in the heart and
ask your heart what to do. Then wait for the response — a physical response in the form of a
sensation. It may be the .faintest level of feeling — but it’s there, in your body.
Only the heart knows the correct answer. Most people think the heart is mushy and sentimental.
But it’s not. The heart is intuitive; it’s holistic, it’s contextual, it’s relational. It doesn’t
have a win-lose orientation. It taps into the cosmic computer — the field of pure potentiality,
pure knowledge, and infinite organizing power — and takes everything into account. At times it
may not even seem rational, but the heart has a computing ability that is far more accurate and
far more precise than anything within the limits of rational thought.

You can use the Law of Karma to create money and affluence, and the flow of all good
things to you, any time you want. But first, you must become consciously aware that your future
is generated by the choices you are making in every moment of your life. If you do this on a
regular basis, then you are making full use of the Law of Karma. The more you bring your
choices into the level of your conscious awareness, the more you will make those choices which
are spontaneously correct — both for you and those around you.

The Law of Cause and Effect

Every action generates a force of energy that

returns to us in like kind . . . what we sow is what we reap.

And when we choose actions that bring happiness

and success to others, the fruit of our karma is

happiness and success.

Karma is the eternal assertion of human freedom.

. . . Our thoughts, our words, and deeds are

the threads of the net which we throw around ourselves.

~— Swami Vivekananda

The [universal] Law of Cause and Effect 

The third universal law of success is the Law of Karma. “Karma” is both action and the
consequence of that action; it is cause and effect simultaneously, because every
action generates a force of energy that returns to us in like kind.
There is nothing unfamiliar about the Law of Karma.
Everyone has heard the expression, “What you sow is what you reap.”
Obviously, if we want to create happiness in our lives, we must learn to sow the
seeds of happiness. Therefore, karma implies the action of conscious choice-making.

You and I are essentially infinite choice-makers. In every moment of our existence, we are
in that field of all possibilities where we have access to an infinity of choices. Some of these
choices are made consciously, while others are made unconsciously.
But the best way to understand and maximize the use of karmic law
is to become consciously aware of the choices we make in every moment.
Whether you like it or not, everything that is happening at this moment
 is a result of the choices you’ve made in the past. Unfortunately, a lot of us make choices unconsciously, and
therefore we don’t think they are choices — and yet, they are.

If I were to insult you, you would most likely make the choice of being offended. If I were to
pay you a compliment, you would most likely make the choice of being pleased or flattered. But
think about it: it’´s still a choice.
I could offend you and I could insult you, and you could make the choice of not being
offended. I could pay you a compliment and you could make the choice of not letting that flatter
you either.
In other words, most of us — even though we are infinite choice-makers — have become
bundles of conditioned reflexes that are constantly being triggered by people and circumstances
into predictable outcomes of behaviour. These conditioned reflexes are like Pavlovian conditioning.
Pavlov is famous for demonstrating that if you give a dog something to eat every time
you ring a bell, soon the dog starts to salivate when you just ring the bell, because it has
associated one stimulus with the other.

Most of us, as a result of conditioning, have repetitions and predictable responses to the
stimuli in our environment. Our reactions seem to be automatically triggered by people and
circumstances, and we forget that these are still choices that we are making in every moment of
our existence. We are simply making these choices unconsciously.

Applying the Law of Giving

Applying the Law of Giving into your daily life

I will put the Law of Giving into effect by making a commitment to take the following steps:

(1) Wherever I go, and whoever I encounter, I will bring them a gift. The gift may be a
compliment, a flower, or a prayer. Today, I will give something to everyone I come into
contact with, and so I will begin the process of circulating joy, wealth and affluence in
my life and in the lives of others.

(2)Today I will gratefully receive all the gifts that life has to offer me. I will receive the gifts
of nature: sunlight and the sound of birds singing, or spring showers or the first snow
of winter. I will also be open to receiving from others, whether it be in the form of a
material gift, money, a compliment, or a prayer.

(3) I will make a commitment to keep wealth circulating in my life by giving and receiving
life’s most precious gifts: the gifts of caring, affection, appreciation, and love. Each
time I meet someone, I will silently wish them happiness, joy, and laughter.

Back to [The Apotheosis]

[source:7 spiritual Laws of Success]

The Law of Giving Part 3

The [universal] Law of Giving [Part 3]

The best way to put the Law of Giving into operation — to start the whole process of
circulation — is to make a decision that any time you come into contact with anyone, you will
give them something. It doesn’t have to be in the form of material things; it could be a flower, a
compliment, or a prayer. In fact, the most powerful forms of giving are non-material.

The gifts of caring, attention, affection, appreciation, and love are some of the
most precious gifts you can give, and they don’t cost you anything.
When you meet someone, you can silently send them a blessing, wishing them happiness,
joy, and laughter. This kind of silent giving is very powerful.

One of the things I was taught as a child, and which I taught my children also, is never to go
to anyone’s house without bringing something — never visit anyone without bringing them a
gift. You may say, “How can I give to others when at the moment I don’t have enough myself?”
You can bring a flower. One flower. You can bring a note or a card which says something about
your feelings for the person you’re visiting. You can bring a compliment. You can bring a
prayer.

Make a decision to give wherever you go, to whomever you see. As long as you’re giving,
you will be receiving. The more you give, the more confidence you will gain in the miraculous
effects of this law. And as you receive more, your ability to give more will also increase.
Our true nature is one of affluence and abundance; we are naturally affluent because nature
supports every need and desire. We lack nothing, because our essential nature is one of pure
potentiality and infinite possibilities. Therefore, you must know that you are already inherently
affluent, no matter how much or how little money you have, because the source of all wealth is
the field of pure potentiality — it is the consciousness that knows how to fulfill every need,
including joy, love, laughter, peace, harmony, and knowledge.

If you seek these things first - —not only for yourself, but for others - — all else will come to you spontaneously.

[Applying the Law of Giving]

The Law of Giving Part 2

The [universal] Law of Giving [Part 2]

The more you give, the more you will receive, because you will keep the abundance of the
universe circulating in your life. In fact, anything that is of value in life only multiplies when it is
given. That which doesn’t multiply through giving is neither worth giving nor worth receiving.
If, through the act of giving, you feel you have lost something, then the gift is not truly given and
will not cause increase. If you give grudgingly, there is no energy behind that giving.
It is the intention behind your giving and receiving that is the most important thing.

The intention should always be to create happiness for the giver and receiver, because happiness is
life-supporting and life-sustaining and therefore generates increase.
The return is directly proportional to the giving when it is unconditional and from the heart.
That is why the act of giving has to be joyful — the frame of mind has to
be one in which you feel joy in the very act of giving.
Then the energy behind the giving increases many times over.

Practicing the Law of Giving is actually very simple: if you want joy, give joy to others; if
you want love, learn to give love; if you want attention and appreciation, learn to give attention
and appreciation; if you want material affluence, help others to become materially affluent. In
fact, the easiest way to get what you want is to help others get what they want.
This principle works equally well for individuals, corporations, societies, and nations.

If you want to be blessed with all the good things in life, learn to silently bless
everyone with all the good things in life.
Even the thought of giving, the thought of blessing, or a simple prayer has the power to
affect others. This is because our body, reduced to its essential state, is a localized bundle of
energy and information in a universe of energy and information.
We are localized bundles of consciousness in a conscious universe. The word “consciousness” implies more than just energy and information — it implies energy and information which is alive as thought.
Therefore we are bundles of thought in a thinking universe. And thought has the power to transform.

Life is the eternal dance of consciousness that expresses itself as the dynamic exchange of
impulses of intelligence between microcosm and macrocosm, between the human body and the
universal body, between the human mind and the cosmic mind.
When you learn to give that which you seek, you activate and choreograph the dance with
an exquisite, energetic, and vital movement that constitutes the eternal throb of life.

The Law of Giving / The Apotheosis

The universe operates through dynamic exchange

..giving and receiving are different aspects of 

the flow of energy in the universe.

And in our willingness to give that which we seek,

we keep the abundance of the universe circulating in our lives.

This frail vessel thou emptiest again and again,

and fillest it ever with fresh life.

This little flute of a reed thou hast carried over the hills and dales,

and hast breathed through it melodies eternally new....

Thy infinite gifts come to me only on those very small hands of mine.

Ages pass,and still thou pourest,

and still there is room to fill~Rabindranath Tagore

The [universal] Law of Giving

The second universal law of success is the  Law of Giving.
This law could also be called the  Law of Giving and Receiving,
 because the universe operates through dynamic exchange. Nothing is static.
Your body is in dynamic and constant exchange with the body of the universe;
your mind is dynamically interacting with the mind of the cosmos; your
energy is an expression of cosmic energy.
The flow of life is nothing other than the harmonious interaction of all the elements and
forces that structure the field of existence. This harmonious interaction of elements and forces
in your life operates as the Law of Giving.
Because your body and your mind and the universe are in constant and dynamic exchange,
stopping the circulation of energy is like stopping the flow of blood.
Whenever blood stops flowing, it begins to clot, to coagulate, to stagnate.
That is why you must give and receive in order to keep wealth and affluence -
or anything you want in life - circulating in your life.

The word affluence comes from the root word "affluere," which means "to flow to". The
word affluence means "to flow in abundance." Money is really a symbol of the life energy we
exchange and the life energy we use as a result of the service we provide to the universe.
Another word for money is "currency," which also reflects the flowing nature of energy. The
word currency comes from the Latin word "currere" which means "to run" or to flow.
Therefore, if we stop the circulation of money - if our only intention is to hold on to our
money and hoard it - since it is life energy, we will stop its circulation back into our lives as
well. In order to keep that energy coming to us, we have to keep the energy circulating.
Like a river, money must keep flowing, otherwise it begins to stagnate, to clog, to suffocate and stran-
gle its very own life force. Circulation keeps it alive and vital.

Every relationship is one of give and take. Giving engenders receiving, and receiving en-
genders giving. What goes up must come down; what goes out must come back. In reality,
receiving is the same thing as giving, because giving and receiving are different aspects of the
flow of energy in the universe. And if you stop the flow of either, you interfere with nature´s
intelligence.

In every seed is the promise of thousands of forests. But the seed must not be hoarded; it
must give its intelligence to the fertile ground. Through its giving, its unseen energy flows into
material manifestation.

The Law of Pure Potentiality

The source of all creation is pure consciousness, pure potentiality seeking expression from
the unmanifest to the manifest.And when we realise that our true Self 
is one of pure potentiality, we align with the power
that manifests everything in the universe.

In the beginning there was neither existence

nor non-existence,

All this world was unmanifest energy . . .

The One breathed, without breath, by Its own

power Nothing else was there . . .

 ~ Hymn of Creation, The Rig Veda

[The Law of Pure Potentiality]

The first universal law of success is the Law of Pure Potentiality. This law is based on
the fact that we are, in our essential state, pure consciousness. Pure consciousness
is pure potentiality; it is the field of all possibilities and infinite creativity.

Pure consciousness is our spiritual essence. Being infinite and unbounded, it is also pure joy.
Other attributes of consciousness are pure knowledge, infinite silence, perfect balance, invincibility,
simplicity, and bliss. This is our essential nature. Our essential nature is one of pure potentiality.
When you discover your essential nature and know who you really are, in
that knowing itself is the ability to fulfill any dream you have, because you are the eternal possibility, the
immeasurable potential of all that was, is, and will be. The Law of Pure Potentiality could also be
called the Law of Unity,because underlying the infinite diversity of life is the unity of one all-
pervasive spirit. There is no separation between you and this field of energy. The field of pure
potentiality is your own Self. And the more you experience your true nature, the closer you are
to the field of pure potentiality.

The experience of the Self, or "self-referral", means that our internal reference point is our
own spirit, and not the objects of our experience. The opposite of self-referral is object-referral.
In object-referral we are always influenced by objects outside the Self, which include situations,
circumstances, people, and things. In object-referral we are constantly seeking the approval of
others. Our thinking and our behaviour are always in anticipation of a response.
It is therefore fear-based.
In object-referral we also feel an intense need to control things. We feel an intense need for
external power. The need for approval, the need to control things, and the need for external
power are needs that are based on fear. This kind of power is not the power of pure potentiality,
or the power of the Self, or real power. When we experience the power of the Self, there is an
absence of fear, there is no compulsion to control, and no struggle for approval or external
power.
In object-referral, your internal reference point is your ego. The ego, however, is not who
you really are. The ego is your self-image; it is your social mask; it is the role you are playing.
Your social mask thrives on approval. It wants to control, and it is sustained by power, because
it lives in fear.

Your true Self, which is your spirit, your soul, is completely free of those things. It is
immune to criticism, it is unfearful of any challenge, and it feels beneath no one. And yet, it is
also humble and feels superior to no one, because it recognizes that everyone else is the same
Self, the same spirit in different disguises.

That´s the essential difference between object-referral and self-referral. In self-referral, you
experience your true being, which is unfearful of any challenge, has respect for all people, and
feels beneath no one. Self-power is therefore true power.
Power based on object-referral, however, is false power. Being ego-based power, it lasts
only as long as the object of reference is there. If you have a certain title ? if you?re the
president of the country or the chairman of a corporation ? or if you have a lot of money, the
power you enjoy goes with the title, with the job, with the money. Ego-based power will only
last as long as those things last. As soon as the title, the job, the money go away, so does the
power.

Applying the Law of Pure Potentiality to your daily routine

[Applying the Law of Pure Potentiality]

I will put the Law of Pure Potentiality into effect by making a commitment to take the
following steps:


(1) I will get in touch with the field of pure potentiality by taking time each day to be silent,
to just
Be. I will also sit alone in silent meditation at least twice a day for approximately
thirty minutes in the morning and thirty minutes in the evening.

(2) I will take time each day to commune with nature and to silently witness the intelli-
gence within every living thing. I will sit silently and watch a sunset, or listen to the
sound of the ocean or a stream, or simply smell the scent of a flower. In the ecstasy of
my own silence, and by communing with nature, 1 will enjoy the lire throb of ages, the
field of pure potentiality and unbounded creativity.

(3) I will practice non-judgment. I will begin my day with the statement, "Today, I shall
judge nothing that occurs," and throughout the day I will remind myself not to judge.

[back to The Apotheosis]

The Law of Pure Potentiality Part 4

[The Law of Pure Potentiality Part 4]

As you gain more and more access to your true nature, you will also spontaneously receive
creative thoughts, because the field of pure potentiality is also the field of infinite creativity and
pure knowledge. Franz Kafka, the Austrian philosopher and poet, once said, "You need not
leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. You need not even listen, simply wait.
You need not even wait, just learn to become quiet, and still, and solitary. The world will freely
offer itself to you to be unmasked. It has no choice; it will roll in ecstasy at your feet."

The affluence of the universe - the lavish display and abundance of the universe - is an
expression of the creative mind of nature. The more tuned in you are to the mind of nature, the
more you have access to its infinite, unbounded creativity. But first, you have to go beyond the
turbulence of your internal dialogue to connect with that abundant, affluent, infinite, creative
mind. And then you create the possibility of dynamic activity while at the same time carrying the
stillness of the eternal, unbounded,  creative mind. This exquisite combination of silent, un-
bounded, infinite mind along with dynamic, bounded, individual mind is the perfect balance of
stillness and movement simultaneously that can create whatever you want. This coexistence of
opposites -stillness and dynamism at the same time - makes you independent of situations,
circumstances, people, and things.

When you quietly acknowledge this exquisite coexistence of opposites, you align yourself
with the world of energy - the quantum soup, the non-material non-stuff that is the source of
the material world. This world of energy is fluid, dynamic, resilient, changing, forever in motion.
And yet it is also non-changing, still, quiet, eternal, and silent.
Stillness alone is the potentiality for creativity; movement alone is creativity restricted to a
certain aspect of its expression. But the combination of movement and stillness enables you to
unleash your creativity in   all directions - wherever the power of your attention takes you.

Wherever you go in the midst of movement and activity, carry your stillness within you.
Then the chaotic movement around you will never overshadow your access to the reservoir of
creativity, the field of pure potentiality.

|Apply the Law of Pure Potentiality|

The Law of Pure Potentiality Part 3

[The Law of Pure Potentiality Part 3]

Stillness is the first requirement for manifesting your desires,
because in stillness lies your connection to the field of pure potentiality
that canorchestrate an infinity of details for you.
Imagine throwing a little stone into a still pond and watching it ripple. Then, after a while,
when the ripples settle down, perhaps you throw another little stone. That´s exactly what you
do when you go into the field of pure silence and introduce your intention. In this silence, even
the faintest intention will ripple across the underlying ground of universal consciousness, which
connects everything with everything else. But, if you do not experience stillness in conscious-
ness, if your mind is like a turbulent ocean, you could throw the Empire State Building into it,
and you wouldn´t notice a thing.

In the Bible is the expression, "Be still, and know that I am
God." This can only be accomplished through meditation.
Another way to access the field of pure potentiality is through the practice of non-judgment. Judgment is the constant evaluation of things as right or wrong, good or bad.
When you are constantly evaluating, classifying, labeling, analyzing, you create a lot of turbulence in your
internal dialogue. This turbulence constricts the flow of energy between you and the field of
pure potentiality. You literally squeeze the "gap" between thoughts.
The gap is your connection to the field of pure potentiality. It is that state of pure aware-
ness, that silent space between thoughts, that inner stillness that connects you to true power.
And when you squeeze the gap, you squeeze your connection to the field of pure potentiality
and infinite creativity.

[Today I shall judge nothing that occurs].

Non-judgment creates silence in your mind. It is a good idea, therefore, to begin your
day with that statement. And throughout the day, remind yourself of that statement each time
you catch yourself judging. If practicing this procedure for the whole day seems too difficult,
then you may simply say to yourself, "For the next two hours, I wont judge anything," or
"For the next hour, I will experience non-judgment." Then you can extend it gradually.
Through silence, through meditation, and through non-judgment, you will access the first
law, the Law of Pure Potentiality.

Once you start doing that, you can add a fourth component
to this practice, and that is regularly spending time in direct communion with nature. Spending
time in nature enables you to sense the harmonious interaction of all the elements and forces of
life, and gives you a sense of unity with all of life. Whether it be a stream, a forest, a mountain,
a lake, or the seashore, that connection with nature´s intelligence will also help you access the
field of pure potentiality.
You must learn to get in touch with the innermost essence of your being. This true essence
is beyond the ego. It is fearless; it is free; it is immune to criticism; it does not fear any challenge.
It is beneath no one, superior to no one, and full of magic, mystery, and enchantment.
Access to your true essence will also give you insight into the mirror of relationship, be-
cause all relationship is a reflection of your relationship with yourself. For example, if you have
guilt, fear, and insecurity over money, or success, or anything else, then these are reflections of
guilt, fear, and insecurity as basic aspects of your personality. No amount of money or success
will solve these basic problems of existence; only intimacy with the Self will bring about true
healing. And when you are grounded in the knowledge of your true Self  -when you really
understand your true nature - you will never feel guilty, fearful, or insecure about money, or
affluence, or fulfilling your desires, because you will realize that the essence of all material
wealth is life energy, it is pure potentiality. And pure potentiality is your intrinsic nature.

[Go on to Part 4]

¶

The Law of Pure Potentiality Part 2

[The Law of Pure Potentiality Part 2]

Self-power, on the other hand, is permanent, because it is based on the knowledge of the
Self. And there are certain characteristics of self-power.
It draws people to you, and it also draws things that you want to you. It magnetizes people,
situations, and circumstances to support your desires.
This is also called support from the laws of nature. It is the support of divinity;
it is the support that comes from being in the state of grace.
Your power is such that you enjoy a bond with people, and people enjoy a bond with
you. Your power is that of bonding - a bonding that comes from true love.

How can we apply the Law of Pure Potentiality, the field of all possibilities, to our lives?
If you want to enjoy the benefits of the field of pure potentiality, if you want to make full use of the
creativity which is inherent in pure consciousness, then you have to have access to it. One way
to access the field is through the daily practice of silence, meditation, and non-judgment.
Spending time in nature will also give you access to the qualities inherent in the field: infinite creativity,
freedom, and bliss.
Practicing silence means making a commitment to take a certain amount of time to simply
Be. Experiencing silence means periodically withdrawing from the activity of speech.
It also means periodically withdrawing from such activities as watching television, listening to the ra-
dio, or reading a book. If you never give yourself the opportunity to experience silence, this
creates turbulence in your internal dialogue.
Set aside a little time every once in a while to experience silence. Or simply make a commitment
to maintain silence for a certain period each day.
You could do it for two hours, or if that seems a lot, do it for a one-hour period.

And every once in a while experience silence for an extended period of time, s
such as a full day, or two days, or even a whole week.

What happens when you go into this experience of silence? Initially your internal dialogue
becomes even more turbulent. You feel an intense need to say things. Ive known people who
go absolutely crazy the first day or two when they commit themselves to an extended period of
silence. A sense of urgency and anxiety suddenly comes over them. But as they stay with the
experience, their internal dialogue begins to quieten. And soon the silence becomes profound.
This is because after a while the mind gives up; it realizes there is no point in going around and
around if you - the Self, the spirit, the choice-maker - are not going to speak, period. Then,
as the internal dialogue quietens, you begin to experience the stillness of the field of pure
potentiality.Practicing silence periodically as it is convenient to you is one way to experience the
Law of Pure Potentiality.

Spending time each day in meditation is another. Ideally, you should meditate at least thirty minutes
in the morning, and thirty minutes in the evening. Through meditation you will
learn to experience the field of pure silence and pure awareness.
In that field of pure silence is the field of infinite correlation, the field of infinite organizing power, the ultimate
ground of creation where everything is inseparably connected with everything else.
