The universal Law of Least Effort Part 2

The [universal] Law of Least Effort [Part 2]


In The Art of Dreaming, Don Juan tells Carlos Castaneda, “. . . "most of our energy goes
into upholding our importance. ... If we were capable of losing some of that importance, two
extraordinary things would happen to us: One, we would free our energy from trying to maintain
the illusory idea of our grandeur; and two, we would provide ourselves with enough energy
to catch a glimpse or the actual grandeur of the universe.”"

There are three components to the Law of Least Effort — three things you can do to put
this principle of “do less and accomplish more” into action. The first component is acceptance.

Acceptance simply means that you make a commitment:
“Today I will accept people, situations, circumstances, and events as they occur.”
This means I will know that this moment is as it should be,
because the whole universe is as it should be.
This moment — the one you´’re  experiencing right now — is the
culmination of all the moments you have experienced in the past.
This moment is as it is because the entire universe is as it is.
When you struggle against this moment, you´’re actually struggling against the entire universe.

Instead, you can make the decision that today you will not struggle against the whole
universe by struggling against this moment. This means that your acceptance of this moment is
total and complete. You accept things as they are, not as you wish they were in this moment.
This is important to understand. You can wish for things in the future to be different, but in this
moment you have to accept things as they are.
When you feel frustrated or upset by a person or a situation, remember that you are not
reacting to the person or the situation, but to your feelings about the person or the situation.
These are your feelings, and your feelings are not someone else’s fault. When you recognize
and understand this completely, you are ready to take responsibility for how you feel and to
change it. And if you can accept things as they are, you are ready to take responsibility for your
situation and for all the events you see as problems.

This leads us to the second component of the Law of Least Effort: responsibility. What
does responsibility mean? Responsibility means not blaming anyone or anything for your situation,
including yourself. Having accepted this circumstance, this event, this problem, responsibility
then means the ability to have a creative response to the situation as it is now. All problems
contain the seeds of opportunity, and this awareness allows you to take the moment and
transform it to a better situation or thing.

Once you do this, every so-called upsetting situation will become an opportunity for the
creation of something new and beautiful, and every so-called tormentor or tyrant will become
your teacher. Reality is an interpretation. And if you choose to interpret reality in this way, you
will have many teachers around you, and many opportunities to evolve.
Whenever confronted by a tyrant, tormentor, teacher, friend, or foe (they all mean the
same thing) remind yourself, “This moment is as it should be.” Whatever relationships you have
attracted in your life at this moment are precisely the ones you need in your life at this moment.

There is a hidden meaning behind all events, and this hidden meaning is serving your own
evolution.

The universal Law of Least Effort

Nature 5 intelligence functions with effortless
ease . . . with carefreeness, harmony, and love.
And when we harness the forces of harmony,
joy, and love, we create success and good fortune
with effortless ease.
An integral being knows without going, sees
without looking, and accomplishes without doing.
— ~Lao TZU



The [universal] Law of Least Effort

This law is based on the fact that nature’s intelligence functions with effortless ease
and abandoned carefulness. This is the principle of least action, of no resistance.
This is, therefore, the principle of harmony and love.
When we learn this lesson from nature, we easily fulfill our desires.

If you observe nature at work, you will see that least effort is expended.
Grass doesn’t try to grow, it just grows. Fish don’t try to swim, they just swim.
Flowers don’t try to bloom, they bloom. Birds don’t try to fly, they fly. [LYL comment:one example too much,seriously...]
This is their intrinsic nture.
The earth doesn’t try to spin on its own axis; it is the nature of the earth to spin
with dizzying speed and to hurtle through space. It is the nature of babies to be in bliss.
It is the nature of the sun to shine. It is the nature of the stars to glitter and sparkle.
And it is human nature to make our dreams manifest into physical form, easily and effortlessly.

In Vedic Science, the age-old philosophy of India, this principle is known as the principle of
economy of effort, or “do less and accomplish more.” Ultimately you come to the state where
you do nothing and accomplish everything. This means that there is just a faint idea,
and then the manifestation of the idea comes about effortlessly.
What is commonly called a “miracle” is actually an expression of the Law of Least Effort.
Nature’s intelligence functions effortlessly, fric-tionlessly, spontaneously. It is non-linear; it
is intuitive, holistic, and nourishing. And when you are in harmony with nature, when you are
established in the knowledge of your true self, you can make use or the Law of Least Effort.

Least effort is expended when your actions are motivated by love, because nature is held
together by the energy of love. When you seek power and control over other people, you waste
energy. When you seek money or power for the sake of the ego, you spend energy chasing the
illusion of happiness instead of enjoying happiness in the moment. When you seek money for
personal gain only, you cut off the flow of energy to yourself, and interfere with the expression
of nature’s intelligence. But when your actions are motivated by love, there is no waste of
energy. When your actions are motivated by love, your energy multiplies and accumulates —
and the surplus energy you gather and enjoy can be channeled to create anything that you want,
including unlimited wealth.

You can think of your physical body as a device for controlling energy: it can generate,
store, and expend energy. If you know how to generate, store,
and expend energy in an efficient way, then you can create any amount of wealth.
Attention to the ego consumes the greatest amount of energy. When your internal reference point is the ego, when you seek power and control over other people or seek approval from others, you spend energy in a
wasteful way.
When that energy is freed up, it can be rechanneled and used to create anything that you
want. When your internal reference point is your spirit, when you are immune to criticism and

unfearful of any challenge, you can harness the power of love, and use energy creatively for the
experience of affluence and evolution.
