COSMIC LAWS, PART 1

PREFACE

These papers on Cosmic laws were compiled years ago by us from various sources for personal use--it
was never intended to be published in any form. After careful thought, we decided to include them in this
website so that sincere students of metaphysics might benefit from them. It should be understood that
most of the titles of the books, the sources from whence the teachings of these laws were taken and later
compiled by us have long been forgotten or now inaccessible to us and thus we are unable to give due
credit to them. We sincerely apologize for this. Please note that the descriptions of the laws are not wholly
our work. We are only responsible for about 70% of those descriptions or interpretations, the rest have
been either extracted, copied verbatim (quoted), or revised. As far as we can recall, we are indebted to
these various authors for their contribution to this work :

Alice Bailey, The Three Initiates (Kybalion), Bill Whitcomb (The Magician's Companion), and Clark Wilkerson (Hawaiian
Magic).

This work is thus not solely our own but the result of a collective mind inspired by the Holy Spirit. Praise
to God that this is so--as only the Highest Intelligence is fit to recieve all praises!

INTRODUCTION

Cosmic laws are the characteristics of the One Universal Mind in operation throughout the whole
universe. They are also referred to as Universal laws, for there is no place, dimension, solar system, or
galaxy where they do not function or operate as the administrative organ of the Cosmos. Another term for
Cosmic laws are the "Laws of Nature." From the standpoint of the average person, the laws of Nature
normally refer to physical laws such as the law of gravity. Using or understanding the expression in such
a manner is actually narrow and short-sighted, for Nature is more than the flora and fauna, life, or
physical expression of the material world. Nature encompasses the visible and invisible realms. Its reality
is actually non-physical--which does not imply that it is not real. The effects that the laws of Nature
produce in the physical world has its source in the higher dimensions that are invisible to the physical
senses. These dimensions are called "archetypal" in occultism. They contain the matrix, or the blueprint of
all manifested life- forms and phenomena of Nature. Therefore, each life- form or phenomena that we
experience in the physical world has its own archetype, its ideal form from which it would eventually
reflect.

When we consider the laws and forces of Nature, we cannot separate them from the beings that embody
or personify them, or what in fact is the intelligence of Nature herself. Angels and elementals are the
forces of Nature. Cosmic laws are actually the expression of Great Cosmic Intelligences. These beings are
identical to Nature, they are one and the same. Without them, we have no phenomena or creation in any
worlds or dimensions. Those spirit beings are responsible for the manifold expressions of Nature: the rain,
the wind, the flame, the growing tulip, the rainbow, the vibrant colors . . .
It is the mental myopia and ignorance of the reality behind Nature that results in terms such as the
"supernatural," "paranormal," and "miracle" as understood in a narrow and limited sense. These terms
often carry negative connotations. In the proper context, and in contrary to the above, the mystic sees
everything as natural and normal. Miracles only exist to those who are ignorant of the Cosmic laws
underlying their manifestation. In actuality, the mystic recognizes nothing supernormal, paranormal,
abnormal, or subnormal. This is because the conscious awareness of the mystic or advanced
metaphysician is more expansive and transcendent than the average person and realizes that everything
has its place in the scheme of things, and that human criteria for evaluating and judging the various
expressions of Nature are arbitrary and flawed from the spiritual point of view. The mystical
consciousness embraces the higher dimensions and its spiritual values, and is above the warped sense of
interpretative and theological morality that characterizes most precepts of our present-day religions and
cultures. Advanced mystics are aware that Life and Truth are not confined solely to this physical realm
and planet, or the word of God to any book, prophet, or religion, for that would be limiting the power of
God--one is hardly aware that one is limiting God by conceptualization and maintaining unproven beliefs.
It is presumptuous on the part of puny mortals.

Although some Cosmic laws may specifically apply and be confined to certain dimensions, the laws in
themselves are living potentials in every dimension. They exist in the Mind or Beingness of God as
His/Her very Life; and as such, Cosmic laws are immutable. They are unchangeable, not by any being,
and not by the Cosmic (God) Itself. We may think that nothing is impossible to God. Pertaining to the
expressions of life, this is true; however, there is one thing impossible for the Cosmic: the Cosmic is
unable to change its very nature, the laws of its being, for to do so would indicate Its Reality to be
ephemeral and non-eternal. This is not a question of "won't" on the part of the Cosmic; the Cosmic simply
cannot mutate what It Is, accept for its manifestations in the worlds of relativity, the worlds of illusions or
"maya" as sensed by man. Metaphysicians know that from the absolute point of view, there is nothing that
is eternal or constant in the whole universe accept for the Essence or Source of All that we call God. Keep
in mind that what we call Cosmic laws are merely the nature and behavior of the one Universal Being
expressing through Its many facets.

Cosmic laws may be classified according to the dimension in which they operate. There are certain laws
functioning specifically in the mental realm, the astral realm, or in the physical realm--although this
classification is arbitrarily made by the human mind and not real in the Universal Mind; for every
division, realm, world or dimension is but an illusion from the Cosmic point of view. Every manifested
thing, from atom to solar system is but a thought in God's Mind. To explain the fact that one law may not
be applicable in all realms let us but mention the Law of Reincarnation which is a law not in operation in
the higher Archetypal or Causal dimensions, but solely in the lower realms.

Everything is governed and controlled by Cosmic laws. These laws are always working whether we are
conscious of them or not. The more we know of these laws, the more we will understand ourselves and all
life. In the physical realm, Cosmic laws are usually known by their effects. The laws and causes of those
effects are unseen, having their origin in higher dimensions. By knowing the causes of those effects, by
tracing the causation of life's manifold manifestation, we may begin to learn the nature of certain Cosmic
laws and learn to abide by them and even applying or tapping them for our own benefit. By so doing we
may overcome or avoid the many unnecessary, excessive hardships and struggles in life. We, in fact,
become the co-creators of God, a master of life. By knowing, understanding, and applying Cosmic laws in
a positive, constructive, and creative manner we automatically promote our spiritual growth and
evolution. Knowing the cause of our problems by understanding the Cosmic laws and principles involved,
we learn to take proper control and direction of our lives. Suffering is thus eliminated, and peace, health,
abundance, and prosperity are attained. A master of the laws is a master-magus, an adept.
All of the laws of the Cosmic are interrelated; invoke one and you invoke many others. Several of the
Cosmic laws have sub-laws; and although Cosmic laws cannot be changed or destroyed, the sub- laws of
their parent Cosmic law, or any one law, may be neutralized, superseded, or transcended by a higher law.
For instance, the Law of Karma may be transcended by the Law of Grace or Mercy. Let us translate this
into practical terms: supposing we were to hurt someone; that person may seek to avenge his hurt, for the
Law of Karma is technically, a law of cause and effect, or consequence. We caused someone to be in
pain, and the effect may be that the person may retaliate in anger. Now supposing we were to sincerely
apologize to that person and then compensate in some way; that person might decide to forgive us. What
happens then is that the Law of Grace takes over and the harsh lesson of harmlessness that the Law of
Karma might wish to teach us would no longer be necessary. This illustrates in a simple way how a
Cosmic law may be transcended or neutralized by another law.

It is important to know the difference between Cosmic laws and principles as related to metaphysics, and
as used by us. Cosmic laws are an integral part of Nature, whereas principles are ways and means of
operating and applying those laws. Principles illustrates how a law functions, behaves, and operates.
Principles may also be defined as methods or rules of applying Cosmic laws developed by man. Principles
are guidelines concerning the nature of a law. Man may devise or discover principles but he does not
create Cosmic laws. Sometimes the term "principle" is used to refer to the various components within the
microcosm. In our teachings we often use the word in such a sense. Other metaphysical teachers may
have their own interpretation or understanding of the terms "law" and "principle."

In this and succeeding chapters we will present a list of some of the Cosmic laws known to us that are
relevant to metaphysical theory and practice. It must be kept in mind that although metaphysicians know
that these laws exist and have arbitrarily designated them with names, not all of these laws are properly
understood as yet. Although the laws may be called by various appellations, the importance is the law
itself and not the label. It should be known that some of the laws may appear to contradict one another.
This is, however, illusory and not real. Seeming contradictions may be the result of faulty representations
or interpetation of the laws on our part as occult teacher or erroneous comprehension on the part of the
student-disciple. We do not pretend to totally understand the laws ourselves, for there is much that we too
personally do not know. Therefore, the metaphysical student should not accept everything that any Guru
has to teach (including us) as gospel. Always refer to the inner teacher. What is revealed in this book
should be considered as guidelines for your own research, study, and application.

In order to fathom or probe the nature of Cosmic laws, or to prove their reality, it would take intense
meditation, contemplation, and experimentation upon them. Through such methods we would intuitively
and empirically understand them and even be inspired by higher sources to do research into the right
channels in order to fully grasp their fundamentals. Most of the time acquiring metaphysical knowledge is
dependent upon revelation from the Mind of God and the Divine Beings. It does not always depend upon
the rational mind of man which is limited in its scope of functioning. Many inventors will testify to this. It
is important to meditate and ponder upon the laws to discover their modes of operation, the methods of
their application, and their value and relevance in our mundane world.

Whenever you come across psychic phenomena or magical processes that you do not understand, please
refer to these laws. For they contain the keys to your comprehension of the Cosmos. We have often heard
the phrase, "only God knows." Well, understanding Cosmic laws you will gradually come to know too.
When the mind of man is attuned to the Mind of God, all that God knows, man may come to know too--to
a certain degree; as sacrilegious as this may sound, it is true; for God has ordained it when he made man
in his image, in his likeness. This "knowing" is the hidden key (Daath) of the Qabalistic "Tree of Life."

Cosmic laws help to explain the so-called inexplicable; however, should you experience or come across
any phenomena and not find an answer in any of the laws expounded, suspect that there is an "X" factor,
or in other words, an unknown law involved that awaits to be discovered, identified, experimented,
classified, and tabulated. Also keep in mind that although we have done our best to compile these known
Cosmic laws from various sources, it is possible for some Cosmic laws already known and revealed to
man to have escaped our attention in our compilation. Perhaps in future papers we will elaborate upon the
laws and apply them for metaphysical purposes.

We stress the importance for the metaphysical student to apprehend Cosmic laws. Through the right
understanding and application of these laws we become a master of life and we promote our spiritual
growth. Those who are ignorant of Cosmic laws simply go through life lamenting their "fate" which no
being, God or otherwise has predetermined except for those individuals themselves, whether consciously
or unconsciously. Humanity as a whole has a collective destiny determined by God at certain stages of its
evolutionary growth. When it comes to personal destiny, its creation lies a great deal within our own
hands. It is the gift and the Law of the "Freedom of Choice" that enables us to align ourselves with
Cosmic laws if we will and experience "heaven" and all that it represents, or oppose it and find ourselves
in a hell of our own making.

When counseling or healing clients of their spiritual, mental, emotional or physical problems, it is a
standard procedure for a metaphysician to take recourse to these Cosmic laws to see which of them the
client is violating or out of harmony with and is causing them some problems; or whether any of these
laws may be taught to them that they may apply them for their own benefit in healing their mundane
troubles. Basically, in metaphysical healing, the main objective is to heal the client's negative attitude
towards life and their erroneous way of thinking coupled with patterns of retrogressive thought and
feeling established in their subconscious minds; for it is there, in a large percentage of cases, where the
cause and source of their problem lies, no matter what the external manifestation of their problem may be.

Ignorance or denial of Cosmic laws do not abrogate their existence. Mortal beliefs concerning them do
not change their nature one iota. For instance, the non-belief in the Law of Gravity does not affect its
being, or to cause it to be non-existent. Cosmic laws continue to exist and to function no matter what man
knows or believes about them. The Law of Gravity has existed long before its discovery, and it will
continue to exist long after man has forgotten about it.

Like our illustration above of the Law of Gravity, the same can be said of the other laws; for instance, the
controversial subject of reincarnation. Arguments based on mortal, biased interpretations of Holy
Scriptures may come forward denying its reality, and yet, such arguments mean nothing to the law. The
law continues to exist. Human opinions have no power to influence the existence of Cosmic laws.

In some cases, Cosmic laws may also be referred to as the laws of the Soul, for the Soul as it progresses
become aware of these laws and is obedient to them. Not all of these laws are yet clearly defined, nor
have they all precipitated as yet into human awareness; however, the effort to stand consciously and
steadfastly in the light of one's divine being causes these laws to come into active play, and one's
awareness of them grows and grows. Cosmic laws have metaphysical value. Their application allows the
metaphysician to perform theurgical (divine) and thaumaturgical (magical) operations. There are many
laws not for public distribution for not only are they beyond the comprehension of most individuals, they
also confer a higher degree of power in their application--power that undeveloped people tend to misuse.
But enough of this for now. Below and in the following papers of this series we will present some of the
Cosmic laws as metaphysicians have known them.
THE COSMIC LAWS

The Law of Karma

This is the law of cause and effect, the law of "as ye sow so shall ye reap." Whatever we put into motion
with our thoughts, words and deeds have their effects and consequences, and they always rebound back to
us. Positive causes results in positive effects, negative causes in negative effects; however, in truth there is
no such thing as bad or good Karma--the law does not have an inherent moral standard or judgement. All
judgments are human based. The Law of Karma like all Cosmic laws are neutral and impersonal. Karma
is not punitive. It does not punish. It is there to help all beings to evolve. It is educative in nature and is
the task- master that sometimes make us learn harsh lessons. So-called luck in the result of the good
causes we put into motion; misfortune and bad luck, otherwise called "sengkolo" by Javanese mystics is
the effect of negative causes that we create. "Chance," "coincidence," or "accident" are also but names of
the functions of the unrecognized influence of the Law of Karma working in conjunction with the Law of
Synchronicity.

The Law of Karma is sometimes referred to as the "Law of the Boomerang," for what we put out into the
universe, returns to us, whether instantly, in later life, or in later lifetimes. However, one must keep in
mind that the influence of Karma may be changed, modified or neutralized, or its weight lightened
through the appropriate measures and means. The Law of Karma may be applied in our everyday lives for
beneficial results that we seek, especially in the realm of mentalism. For instance, positive thoughts and
feelings have an effect of improving the physical body's integrity and wholeness.

In metaphysics, sin is a non-entity, a non-reality. It is not a Cosmic law or principle. It is simply a mistake
that one makes--as the root meaning implies--and one does learn and grow through mistakes. Sin, in
reality, does not govern men's lives--Karma does, but it is in our province to work with Karma and the
Law of Grace instead of against them to wipe away any stain upon our souls. Sin is a feeling of guilt
conditioned by religious dogmatic precepts. It is self- imposed by our beliefs and not by any Cosmic law.
Having its birth in the human mind, sin, is not considered by metaphysicians as a Cosmic law, but as a
conditioned pattern of thought. It has no real existence. One should, however, not misinterpret this to
mean that one is free to constantly make mistakes and not suffer therefrom. For one is never free from the
Law of Karma, from the consequences of the mistakes that one makes unless one invokes a higher law--
one can only work with the Law to avoid or alleviate suffering, and grow through one's mistakes. Though
God and Man may forgive one for mistakes made, still compensation in some form ought to be expressed
and thus satisfy the Law of Balance.

The Law of Grace or Mercy

When overwhelmed by one's negative karmic effects, it is possible to invoke the Grace of God to lighten
our burdens by withholding them temporary from manifestation so that we may regain our soul-
composure. Such karma may be released at a later date by the Divine Intelligences presiding over the
karma of this planetary scheme, at a time when we are definitely ready to face them. In some cases, the
Law of Grace may neutralize one's negative karma. This depends on factors such as: whether the lesson
that one's karma seeks to teach has been learnt; whether one's heart has repented; whether one is willing to
make compensations; or whether one has invoked the Law of Grace through the appropriate action such
as prayers, etc.

The Law of Forgiveness is a sub- law of the Law of Grace, for only when we learn to forgive others who
have trespassed us will the Law of Grace function and forgive us for the trespasses that we have done to
others. Even then, we must sincerely apply ourselves in prayer and request the spirit of forgiveness to
clear our minds of any complexes.
Recently, a dispensation was given by the "Lords of Karma" to humankind. This dispensation comes in
the form of teachings concerning a certain cosmic ray, a Violet Ray, that may help man to eliminate and
neutralize his negative karmic effects and record of their causes in a simple way by utilizing
visualizations, invocations, and decrees. Though certain forms of prayers may have an effect of canceling
karma to some degree, the Violet Ray is considered to be one of the most effective means of doing so.
This dispensation is the Law of Grace at work. Certain prayers to be found in Islam and Tibetan
Buddhism invokes this Violet Ray effectively.

It is also possible to request more of our past karma to be released to us. This is usually done because the
person requesting it wishes to quickly evolve and to compensate and undergo the karma that is still
unmanifested and holding it back. This request may be granted and this is also in effect the result of the
Law of Grace. Those who tread the spiritual path often invoke in a natural manner more of the on-coming
karma into their lives, and this occurs under the guidance of their true Spiritual Master working in
conjunction with the Lords of Karma. As a result, when we study and practice mysticism, occultism and
metaphysics we often wonder why our life's circumstances instead of improving, seems to be getting
worse. Religion would declare that God tries and tests those whom he loves. This is true, although not in
the way normally understood.

The Law of Motion

Everything is in motion in this physical universe and in multi- universes. There is no absolute stillness
except perhaps in the very innermost being of God, though this is still questionable. Motion is to be found
within the atom, in the solar system and within the galaxy. Motion is what gives life; in fact, it is Life.
Whatever is in motion is alive. Nothing is absolutely still, no matter from what perspective. Just as Nature
abhors a vacuum, so does she resent motionlessness. Everything is alive, therefore, there is nothing
"dead." To live contrary to motion, to live a life of inertia, simply results in evolutionary stagnation. It is
in effect going against Nature and one's true Will.

Motion does not always imply movement in a straight line. It may move in curves, in spirals, or in loops.
For instance, our sense of time is linear. We divide it into past, present, and future. This is known as
chronological time; however, there are various behaviors of time that defies our human understanding. As
an example, if time is linear why is it that future events may occasionally be seen by mystics? Why is
precognition possible? Is it because that what we call the future may be a shadow of a distant past, or
"now" in a different reality? If so, this would make the linear concept of time non-valid. From this
"anomaly" we may conclude that time does not really exist. It has no existence in Nature except for the
sense of it in human consciousness. The subject of time is too complex to get into right now, so we will
have to leave it for the time being.

The Law of Becoming

Motion results in transformation, in change--change in position, magnitude, quality, nature, characteristic,
etc. Inertia does not exist in God's creation, therefore man should not express it for it is unnatural. Inertia
is stagnancy, non-progress, involutionary, and retrogressive. Inertia is a violation of the Cosmic law of
"progress." Becoming is an expression of life. Death does not exist; in reality, it relates to "transition,"
"change," and "transformation"--an ever progression of becoming.

Nothing remains as it is. Everything becomes--becomes what it is not. Entities with intelligence such as
human beings, have the privilege and the will to direct this becoming. Man may choose to become god-
like, animal- like, demon-like, or simply remain contented to be human- like. This Law of Becoming was
made popular in Ancient Greece by Heraclitus.
The Law of Evolution
Evolution is the result of the Law of Becoming in a positive, God-ward direction. If one does not evolve
with the evolutionary current of the Cosmos, one retrogresses into a lower evolutionary state. The misuse
of one's microcosmic energies causes great harm to one's life-stream. The return to a lower state and its
characteristics is an expression of evil-- using the word "evil" in a relative sense. For instance, for a human
being to act like an animal goes against evolutionary laws and is considered negative.

Evolution expands the consciousness and improves the soul-quality of a life-unit. For instance, the
consciousness and soul- force of a plant will aeons later ensoul an animal- form. The soul of an animal will
eventually acquire human-consciousness status. The consciousness of an animal is greater than that of a
plant, just as the consciousness of a human being is much more advanced than an animal. Beyond the
level of human consciousness lies yet higher states of consciousness. Matter is evolving to the point
where it may sustain consciousness. This is the process of the spiritualization of matter. Conscious life-
units are evolving to the point where they may ensoul a planet, solar system, dimension, or galaxy. This is
the process of God-development.

When left to nature, the life- units evolving in any planetary scheme may require aeons of time to reach a
higher status. It is only commencing at the human-consciousness level that it becomes possible for the
life- units to work with the evolutionary forces and speed up their own progress. Man has the privilege of
this choice: when man chooses to work with the Law of Evolution he quickens his personal evolution and
spiritual growth; if he chooses to ignore the potential of the law, he may linger for aeons in the human
state of consciousness. Should the choice be a positive one, what would have taken aeons could well take
place in a single life-time. The spiritual path of soul-cultivation is a way and process of evolving man at a
rapid pace. It transforms man from human-hood to god-hood. It is the straight, and narrow path to the
mountain peak of divinity.

The Law of Reincarnation

This law has been discovered and verified through various means. It was revealed by Divine Beings and
then observed as to its truth through mystical methods. As said before, it makes no difference whether one
believes or disbelieves in the existence of a law. The law continues to function regardless of human
opinions. Sometimes this particular law of reincarnation is denied because of certain statements to be
found in scriptures or statements made by prophets; and yet if we were to contemplate those said
statements, other meanings emerge which has nothing to do with the denial of reincarnation. The truth is
that God does not contradict Himself. What some early prophets received from divine sources as
revelations of truth remains as such. What prophets of a later date receive as revelation do not contradict
earlier teachings acquired through the same divine source--they in fact fulfill what has gone before. They
may appear or seemingly contradict but, in fact, do not. Truth is always the same, though they may be
seen through different viewpoints and emphasized in accord with the priority of the spiritual need of
humanity.

Putting the above aside, let us consider the law itself. Reincarnation has been called by other names such
as rebirth, and transmigration. Jewish mystics call it "Gilgul," which means "to rotate"--obviously
referring to the cycles of the law. In the gospel stories, the Master "Jesus" or Isa often hinted on the
existence of the Law of Reincarnation; and if this law were false, he would have openly objected to it like
he did with many other things. Reincarnation is a law taught in most world religions: in Hinduism,
Taoism, Buddhism, etc.--although each and every religion may have their own interpretation on how the
law functions or exactly what part of the microcosm reincarnates.

In general, reincarnation as a law refers to the periodical incarnation of a divine spark of God into the
physical realm for the purpose of evolution, for the purpose of spiritual growth, discipline, learning, and
remembrance; although in the process of incarnation, the soul, or divine spark often creates karma which
binds it to the law and prolongs its needless stay in the realm of matter. This karmic bondage is also one
of the factors causing the soul to forget its true purpose of being.

The many inconsistencies, mysteries, conflicts, and problems that we face in life may be easily and
logically explained when the law of reincarnation and karma are taken into consideration.

The Law of Correspondence

This law is also called "the Law of Reflection," for that which is in the lower worlds is but a reflection of
the higher worlds. For instance, the microcosm is a reflection of the macrocosm. The part contains the
whole; or as the Hermetic precept has it "as above, so below." This is one of the Cosmic laws helpful in
aiding us to understand the higher dimensions by a careful analysis and examination of the essence of the
physical dimension, disregarding human miscreations. Conversely, what lies in the spiritual realms should
reflect in the physical plane of being--this would result in the fulfillment of the first movement in the Tao
(or the reason for the "Big Bang"), or in more simple terms-- "Heaven on Earth."

Every speck of universal substance contains the image (or pattern) of the entire universe in the same way
that a fragment or piece of a laser holograph image still contains the entire original image. Each soul
contains the cosmic image, just as every cell contains the blueprint of the entire physical human being.
When the outer image is tuned or brought into resonance with the inner image, a change in one will
simultaneously change or affect the expression or state of the other. To perceive one is to perceive the
other. This law is also one reason why you could say that humanity is created in God's image. The
universe is within us and without us. Changing our inner world creates a corresponding change in our
outer world. This is, in fact, one of the axioms of thaumaturgical magic.

Applying the law in a different sense, occultists have discovered that any one object of a certain kingdom
in nature has its correspondence in another kingdom or in other manifestations of the Cosmos, for their
frequencies, though of a different octave, resonate. For instance, the energies of the planet Mars resonate
with the color red, with the metal iron, and with the gemstone ruby. Knowing how objects, and what
objects resonate with one another is a vital subject in occultism. Objects that resonate with one another or
with the same basic frequenc y are often used in a powerful ceremonial manner to influence the human
psyche and cause changes in one's reality.

This law also refers to the fact that what we think and feel consciously and subconsciously generates
corresponding realities in our outer experiences, in our external circumstances. Our outer world reflects
the condition or state to be found within us. In the metaphysical system of New Thought much use is
made of this law.

Related to the Law of Correspondence is the Law of Analogy where things of certain dissimilarities
correspond in certain respects. This is a useful law in explaining the functions of certain phenomena. For
instance, transition into a higher world may be analogically explained or likened to birth into the physical
realm.

The Law of One

Everything, throughout all time and space, are linked either directly or indirectly to everything else.
Everything is connected in their inner core. All manifestations, all forms, are actually illusions, called
Maya by the Hindu philosophers. Underlying all manifestations there is only one Essence. This is the
basis of the mystical concept expressed succinctly in Islam as, "la illaha illahlah," or "there is no god but
God." Metaphysically, this should be understood that essentially, every manifestation in the universe is
but God's expression, or God's being. In other words, the reality of the manifested and non- manifested
universe in their totality are expressions, actually "unseparated parts," of the one whole that we call
"God." Lao Tze called the One, Tao. In Hinduism, the One is known as Brahman. Almost all religions in
their pristine form are aware of the truth of the One Essence in all and the Unity of Being.

Every manifestation in the universe may be reduced to its common denominator: energy. Everything is
composed of energy vibrating in varying frequencies. Energy possesses characteristics attributed to God:
omnipresence, omnipotence, omniscience. This would indicate that energy is identical to God or at least a
part of divine expression. If energy is God, or is of God, then Science has unwittingly discovered the
existence of our Divine Parent that it denies knowing. It should be realized that the truth of this
metaphysical law is difficult to put into writing and should simply be intuitively grasped.

Related to the above, the Law of One may be called the Law of Unity. This is the blending of one's
consciousness with all Mind and all Life in all space and dimensions. It is to become one with that which
you already are and to realize and have awareness that you are God, speaking of course, in a qualitative
and not in a quantitative sense. This is the extreme height of evolution, of comprehension, or realization
and understanding, of Christ Consciousness and of Godliness. Exoteric religion, generally speaking, is
dumbfounded when faced with the expression of this law. It has feared, attacked, tortured, and executed
the proponents of the Law of One and Unity. Nevertheless, this sacred truth has been and will always be
kept alive in the breast of the true representatives of God. When applied on a lesser scale of oneness, the
Law of Unity is the Law of Assumption or Identification, of which we will deal later.

Since everything is essentially one, there is no such thing as a life- unit being an island unto itself.
Everything is interrelated and interdependent. Human beings are influenced by higher and lower beings of
nature, and conversely, humans affect other beings as well. What one thinks affects others on a mental
level; what one feels affects others on an emotional level; and what one does physically affects others on
the material level. Unity is a law of right-relationship between life- units: cooperation and harmony results
in expansion, progress, and growth.

COSMIC LAWS, PART 2

The Law of Duality
Any concept or force may be divided into two totally opposite concepts or forces, each of which
contain the essence of the other. This is symbolized by the Tai Chi symbol, the Yin and Yang.
Opposites can be defined only in relation to each other.

Duality is the sense and perception of one's universe as other than oneself, the seperative "you and I"
concept. It defines the world that we realize. Duality is an illusion of the senses, an illusion perceived
by life- units of human and animal consciousness levels. The absolute state knows only oneness. In
the state of samadhi the yogi transcends the state of duality to be aware solely of the oneness of the
universe, commonly called "the Void," and of the emptiness of form of any inherent, independent
existence.

Relativity has its birth in the state of duality. It is an expression of the Law of Duality and is the
consequence of the motion and overload of power generated within the One, the Absolute, which
subsequently gave rise to the projection of masculine and feminine energies or polarities. The
interaction between the masculine and feminine energies created all of the beings and realms of the
universe. Concerning creation, in the Book of Genesis, these energies are called, "Elohim," the
meaning of which refers to a plurality of divine energies or Intelligences with both male and female
polarities or genders. This word is often mistranslated as the singular male pronoun "God."

The Law of Opposites is related to the Law of Duality and also to the Law of Polarity. It represents
the oppositional poles to be found in all planes of manifestation, all levels of becoming. For instance:
attraction-repulsion; cold- hot; contraction-expansion; darkness- light; destruction-construction; evil-
good; love- fear; night-day; nothing-everything; noumena-phenomena; spirit- matter, etc.

The Law of Trinity

This law is exemplified in the triads and trinities to be found in various religions and philosophies. In
Hinduism we have the "Trimurti," the triad of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. In Christianity the Trinity
is personified by "the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost." The Trinity is an expression of the Law of
Creation. It also describes the triune aspects to be found in any life- unit, from man to God. For
instance, God may be understood as Light, Life and Love. Energy or substance expresses through the
triune qualities of stability, orderliness, and restlessness. In Sanskrit, these qualities, these "gunas,"
are termed tamas, sattva, and raja, respectively.

The Trinity symbolizes the triune functions and qualities of all creative energies in the Universe.
These energies give birth to (Law of Formation), sustains (Law of Preservation), and transforms
(Law of Disintegration) all manifestations, phenomena, conditions, circumstances, and experiences.

From the perspective of creation, the Law of Trinity functions in the following manner: for a
manifestation to occur at any level, dimension, or realm, there must be two parts of different
marriageable properties in complete unification. The result of the union is a new creation, alike in
essence to its parents, but different as to its outward manifestation. As an example, the union of a
man and woman produces a being which contains the genes or essences of each, though differing
from both as to its appearance.

In the mental plane, as another instance, we have an idea, a thesis, and an opposing antithesis. The
possible reconciliation of both may result as a synthesis, a dynamic new idea.

Every manifestation is an effect of two causes, one primary, the other secondary; one active, the other
passive; one positive, the other negative, one electric, the other magnetic. In practical occultism this
is symbolized by the triangle, with the points of the base representing the primary and secondary
causes, while the apex representing the manifestation. When applied to creation the Law of Trinity is
also referred to as the Law of the Triangle. In order to create anything in one's world this law must be
applied. For instance, in magick, one would conduct a ritua l to manifest one's desires, this is the first
pole; for the manifestation to occur, the other pole should be added--direct influence physically upon
the material plane.

The Law of Seven

For some unknown reason our solar system is structured according to the septenary law. This is
evident in our scale of colors represented in the seven colors of the rainbow, and our musical octave
of seven notes. Occultism also deals in the Seven Rays radiating from the spiritual aspect of the Sun.

It is probable that the septenary law is a development of the Law of Trinity which in turn results from
the Law of Duality, which again, in turn, is the unfoldment of the Law of One. This would make the
Law of Seven a manifestation of the Law of One in the lower planes, and concerns the flux, influx,
and efflux of energy in a constant state of creation.

The Law of Seven is considered by some to be an exoteric law, for esoterically it is inherently twelve.
Take for instance the five extra notes in an octave, and the five hidden rays of the seven Cosmic Rays
taught in Occultism.

The Law of Magnetism

Every object, whether physical or non-physical in the universe vibrates, and this vibration or the
oscillation of the electronic particles composing it causes a magnetic field to surround it. This
magnetic field is called "aura" by metaphysicians and occultists. Every organic and non-organic
object has an aura surrounding it, although their quality, frequency, and nature may differ in many
respects, and in different environmental cond itions.

Every magnetic- field possesses a dual quality. We call these qualities, "polarity." In a general sense,
polarity refers to positive and negative poles. In a specific sense polarity refers to the "frequency" of
an object. These poles obey the Law of Attraction, of which the Law of Magnetism is but a
subsidiary.

Magnetic fields are radiatory and influential in nature. They affect every object that comes within
their field of influence. An object in close proximity to other objects have a non-physical impact upon
these other objects that may result in tangible effects. This is called "induction," and the Law of
Thermodynamics is closely related to it. Certain radioactive elements, such as uranium and
plutonium, for instance, may cause cell mutation when brought into close proximity to organic
matter. Human beings possess a magnetic field just like everything else, and unconsciously we affect
everything that we touch or that comes close to us. The metaphysician, knowing this law, applies it
consciously to affect his surroundings the way he desires. From the electron to the largest star, from
an amoeba to a human being--all possess an auric field.
The Law of Attraction
At the atomic or electronic level the Law of Attraction is thusly stated: like attracts unlike, like repels
like. Paradoxically, at the psychological level this is reversed: like attracts like, unlike repels unlike.
The old-age adage expresses it thus: "birds of a feather flock together."

The laws of Magnetism and Attraction are closely related; one is a subsidiary law of the other. The
nature of our magnetism attracts to us things that resonate with our radiation. For instance, if we fear
a thing and radiate fear, that thing shall be part of our experience for we would attract it to us. The
law may be usefully applied in such a manner: in order to be prosperous and wealthy, one has to
create the condition within one's conscious and subconscious mind that would attract riches. This is
done firstly, by removing any negative fixations and complexes that one may have of money or
anything related to wealth. Next, the subconscious mind would have to be reprogrammed with a new
pattern of thought. One's charisma and true attractiveness are derived mainly from the positive and
spiritual quality of one's personal magnetism.

We can magnetize our field with the energies that we are lacking through induction or absorption,
and by that energization acquire the thing that we desire. As an illustration, if we desire to be rich, we
would socialize with rich people. If we desire to be pure and holy we would socialize with saints,
yogis, etc. Some of the other sub- laws of the Law of Attraction are:

Law of Sex

This law applies generally to the physical plane. The attraction between the male and female aspects
of life about sums up the law. However, on a higher level, the Law of Sex is also the sensitivity, the
desire and will to respond to the pull of the Cosmic Divine Spark of God within the microcosm and to
use the energies and forces available to lead the unfolding soul to its Divine Parent.

Law of Chemical Affinity

The Law of Chemical Affinity may also be termed the "Law of Cohesion." It is usually applied by the
physicist in explaining the attractive forces between substances of a homogenous nature or substances
that amalgamate well.

Law of Radiation

Every substance radiates energy to a lesser or a greater degree. Since nothing in the universe is ever
still, energy in beings or substances is in a continuous motion, is in a compositional or in a de-
compositional state. It is in the act of building or destroying. Radioactive substances represent energy
in the state of dispersal. The point of attraction is now space itself. Radiation from various sources, of
various qualities and nature may be directed by the mind of the metaphysician for spiritual purposes.

Law of Color

Vibrations may be sensed in various ways. It may be sensed as color, sound, scent, taste, etc. Colors
among the other ways that vibrations may be perceived, are especially interesting when used as tools
of attraction. Colors are centers of attraction. Colors and light may be seen from afar, and they
intrigue the consciousness. It is no coincidence that flowers are colorful or that women are
accustomed to wearing colorful apparel. One attracts the bees, while the other attracts men. Colors
when arranged harmoniously are pleasing, when they clash they may cause irritation.
 Law of Schools

This law pertains to the evolutionary progress of a spiritual aspirant, discip le, or an initiate. This law
comes into effect as the human consciousness expands to a certain degree. When this expansion
occurs, the spiritually inclined may attract to him or herself the following:

a) The Higher Self

b) The Spiritual Guru or his representative
c) That which he or she seeks to know
d) That which may be utilized in the work of service
e) Other Souls with the same spiritual ideals and objectives
f) Information on spiritual organizations teaching the Ageless Wisdom

The Law of Repulsion

This is a law working in reversal of the Law of Attraction. In the Law of Attraction we have a point, a
particle that pulls. In this law, one may say that the point of attraction is now space itself--this results
in disintegration. Disintegration of forms is the result of the Law of Repulsion at work.

This particular law governs the relationship between atoms, which results in their non-attachment and
in their complete freedom from each other; it also keeps them rotating at fixed points from the globe
or sphere of opposite polarity. For instance, the Law of Repulsion working in "opposition" to the Law
of Attraction causes the moon to remain at a more or less constant distance away from the Earth.

The Law of Vibration

Nothing rests in the universe. Everything is in a state of motion, of movement. Everything vibrates,
and at a certain frequency of its own. Objects not in motion at the form level are always in intense
motion at the molecular and atomic level. It is because everything vibrates that we perceive images in
our consciousness. For instance, sounds and colors do not exist in nature, they exist solely as
vibrations. Sounds and colors only have a reality in our consciousness. What we call sounds and
colors merely appear as such in our consciousness; in actuality, they are simply energies vibrating at
a certain rate. The same thing goes with what we see, feel, smell and taste. Without consciousness to
sense vibrations, sounds, colors, lights, etc., do not exist. Every life-unit of whatever kingdom of
nature perceive vibratory waves in a different fashion. For instance, we interpret certain vibrations to
be red in color, while certain animals may perceive the same vibrations to be a shade of gray.
Amongst us humans, there are some that perceive colors differently, we call these individuals "color-
blind."

Vibrations produce realities in our consciousness, though that which produce vibrations may not be at
all like what we perceive. Thus, in metaphysics we often differentiate that which is actual and that
which is real. That which is actual, or actuality, is related to the essence of the Cosmic, the absolute
state of Being. What is real is what we realize, the picture we have in our consciousness of the
actuality. Philosophically, Actuality is Truth, ever-constant, never-changing, and eternal. Truth Is.
Reality is related to forms, to "illusions" that the actual state produces through its vibrations.

The Absolute state is immutable. Realities are transmutable. Change the vibrations of a thing and we
change the manifestation of the thing. This is the basis of alchemy where through certain processes it
is possible to change base metals into gold, or water into wine. The various manifestations of matter
and spirit are the result of differences in their vibratory rate. From pure spirit to gross matter, all is
energy in vibratory motion.
Vibrations are measured in numbers, in frequency. Each frequency emanating from an "object" or
"substance" has a positive or negative polarity, that is they may vibrate in an even or an uneven
number; and this determines its predisposition to be attracted to or repelled by other objects or
substances with an opposing polarity. The octave in which an object vibrates also determines to a
large degree whether it will be attracted to or repelled by another object. Every particle of energy
vibrates with a certain motion, speed, and frequency. The combination of these factors determines the
substance of any given object, whether it be physical or metaphysical.

The Law of Polarity

In Hermeticism, this law is expressed thus: "Everything is dual, everything has poles. Everything has
its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are identical in nature but different in
degree; extremes meet; all truths are but half- truths, partial truths; all paradoxes may be reconciled."
Polarity is to be found in everything. All forms of energies have their positive and negative aspects. A
change in a person's mental, emotional and physical condition is a change in their polarity. The term
"polarity" and its positive and negative aspects as used here do not carry any moral connotation. It is
strictly an electronic issue and not a moralistic one.

"Positive" and "negative" are relative terms. As seen from a certain perspective a thing may be called
positive; however, should it be viewed from a higher standpoint it could be labeled negative. To
illustrate this, it is difficult to tell where "cold" ends, and "hot" begins, both opposites being really
identical in nature, though different in degree. This principle also applies in the mental and desire
realms.

The positive polarity is penetrative, electric, and active. The negative polarity is receptive, magnetic,
and passive.

The Law of Rhythm

This law is sometimes called the Law of Cycles. Everything moves in cycles and at a certain rhythm.
Everything is in a constant state of flux; everything has its tides, its ebb and flow, its rise and fall; the
pendulum--swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the
swing to the left; rhythm compensates.

Everything has its phases of action and rest; activity and passivity; its zenith and nadir. Nature has
her seasons which are indicated by the equinoxes and solstices. There are certain things best done in a
certain cycle rather than in another. In Ecclesiastes, King Solomon expresses it thus: "To every thing
there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a
time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is plant ed; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to
break down, and a time to build up . . . " The Law of Cycles may be a superstition to some; however,
its reality is now being proven by Science.

It is well known that all organisms are governed by the Law of Rhythm or Cycles. For instance, the
menstruation cycle of female mammals, the biorhythm governing man's physical, emotional and
mental performance, etc.

Everything that has happened throughout the ages has happened in cycles--earthquakes, wars, the rise
and fall of empires and nations--which some scientists have discovered to be related to the cyclic
occurrence of solar flares and sun spots. Some prophecies may be accurate because they are based on
the Law of Cycles. The cyclic law gave birth to the sayings, "history repeats itself," and that "there is
nothing new under the sun."
The Law of Friction
This law governs the heat aspect of any atom, the radiation of an atom, and the effect of that radiation
on any other atom. Basically, friction occurs when two particles, substances, or bodies interact or
collide. Kinetic energy is produced when this occurs and it may be harnessed to empower the
building- up of thought- forms in magickal work.

The Law of Gender

Gender is in everything. It is related to form and characteristics. On the other hand, polarity is related
to the frequency of an energy-structure. Everything in existence has its Masculine and Feminine
Principles--one expressive, the other potential; gender manifests in all planes. Psychologically, in
man we have the anima, or female aspect, and the animus, or male aspect; one is dominant in the
female, the other dominant in the male, while the opposite gender of both usually lies dormant in the
sub-consciousness.

The Law of Mentalism

All is Mind; the Universe is Mental. Whatever exist, exists as a thought in the Cosmic Mind. All
thoughts in the Cosmic Mind are patterns of energies structured with the essence of God. All thoughts
are realities that are transmutable. Man, like everything else, is a tho ught in the Cosmic Mind. Should
the Cosmic Mind cease to think, everything would vanish, including man; realities would disappear.
Everything in the universe is created by thought, and it is an occult axiom that "thoughts are things."

Paradoxically, altho ugh man is but a thought in the Cosmic Mind, he in turns produces thought; and
whatever he produces in his world is a result of his thought. Through thought man produces his
reality. When man functions from the human level, he produces human creations from the power of
his mind, his thoughts and his creations are limited in scope; however, as man progresses and
acquires a higher consciousness attuned with the Cosmic Mind, he may produce creations of cosmic
proportions. Man is destined to be God's co-creator; for man's true being in actuality, is of God.
Progression is not dependent upon space and time, it may occur here and now through proper oneness
with the Cosmic.

Everything is basically energy--mind is likewise composed of energy in a certain structural pattern.

When mind influences matter, in actual fact it is energy working upon itself in a certain way. Since
energy is fluidic and kinetic in nature it flows where it is directed to by one's mental attention. The
direction of energy is not limited by time or space, for these are simply illusions perceived by one's
consciousness. The law of Mentalism is one of the keys to manifestation.

The Law of World-View/Perspective

The world we perceive is actually the interface or mixture of the noumenal world--the Tao, the
objective actuality that is unknowable--and our selves (the subject). Our conception, interpretations
and beliefs concerning outer reality plays a definite role in determining the reality that we experience.
Changing our conceptions, our world view, does not change the eternal, actual world, but it does
change the perceived world--the reality that we perceive. This is important because it is the world we
touch, see, and act upon. This is how we create our own reality.

The world is what we think it is. If we want to change our reality, we should change what we think. If
the reality is shared collectively by many individuals comprising a group-consciousness, then the
whole group should agree to establish a new thought in order to create changes. It should be
understood from the above that all systems instilling in us a certain world- view are arbitrary as they
are all based on interpretation. Most of life's problems may be solved by simply changing our world
view, our attitudes, perspectives, feelings, and beliefs. The power to transmute one's world- view is a
part of the occult science called "mental alchemy."
Changing our world-view makes real changes in the world of our experiences. "Because there are an
infinite number of ways to perceive the world, there are an infinite number of worlds we may
assemble with our awareness." Struggles, suffering and strife in life are fundamentally expressions of
our own reality that we create daily. We may run away from our problems by changing our
environment, but our inner reality, our world- view, re-creates similar problems over and over again
until we learn to transmute or transcend them.

The actual underlying state of the universe is unknowable to us as long as we retain the world-view
of the separateness of self (the Law of Duality). "You can become one with the universe but you
cannot step back and observe it, because you are in it. You cannot observe a phenomenon without
altering it by your mode of perception. There is no such thing as an independent observer. You
participate in creating the world by perceiving it." This is proven in laboratory experiments
concerning the behavior of subatomic particles. Physicists have discovered that their own mental
force or observations upon subatomic particles influences those particles greatly, causing them to act
in an erratic and unpredictable manner.

The Law of Paradox

No world-view or belief framework may encompass the whole world. No world-view is universally
valid. "Two models, or "laws" may conflict with each other and still be true in their proper context;"
or on the other hand, they may be false. "Two people may experience the same event yet perceive
entirely different occurrences." What is real to one may be unreal to another. Our nerve receptors or
senses are limited in the scope of frequencies that they may receive. Our minds are restricted as to its
faculties. Our interpretations of what we experience may be faulty. Our rationality is circumscribed
by the intellect, the world out there is as it is. The world is not bound by the confines of our world-
views. "The trick is to switch from one model to another as it becomes appropriate."

The Law of Pragmatism

"If it works, it is true," at least in a relative sense. "A world-view is only valid if it enables its
perceivers to accomplish their goals," whatever that may be. "The more successful a world view is in
fulfilling the goal structure that its viewers possess, the more valid it could be said to be." If a world
view is practical and universally applicable it gradually acquires a collective reality status in the
consciousness of humanity. It becomes a living entity in the mental world and influences men for
good or for ill.

The Law of Attention

This is one of the laws of the mental plane. "The more evidence one looks for to support a given law,
conclusion, or world-view the more one will find."

"Since we create our world each moment, we are constantly maintaining our world-view. This is
done by means of a recursive internal dialogue of words and symbols with which we constantly edit
our perceptions. By rearranging our attention, we arrange our world- view." In short, we perceive
what we wish to perceive. We interpret things in accord with our beliefs. We change facts to fit our
conceptions. Our behavior and reactions or responsive actions to the world are dependent upon what
world- view we constantly keep alive in our minds by our conscious or subconscious attention.

The Law of Attention may also be called the "Law of Fixation." It pertains to energy transmission.
Whatever and wherever we focus our attention, we send energy rays. By focusing our attention on an
object with a certain thought or feeling, we impress our thought-feeling force upon the object, thus
influencing it. Energy follows mental attention. As evolution progresses, the Soul will evolve the
faculty of forming definite concrete thoughtforms, and through these stable products the Soul
produces what it needs to evolve or subdue the fluctuations of the lower principles of the microcosm.
The Law of Synchronicity
"Synchronicity is a term coined by Dr. Carl Jung to describe the meaningful coincidences that
seemingly cannot be described by the Law of Cause and Effect (Karma). They are events connected
by pattern or meaning rather than time. Some interpret this as a developing and ongoing dialogue
between the perceiver and the consciousness of the universe. This dialogue is overt to the degree the
perceiver is receptive to or aware of it." Communications between the consciousness of the universe
and the perceiver usually comes in the form of symbols, or seemingly unrelated symbolic events with
a similar import. These symbolic coincidences are a working code transmitted by higher intelligences
to the human mind. They contain a special cryptic message that must be solved by the harmonious
cooperation of both brain hemispheres and through soul-alignment. All forms of divination are based
on the Law of Synchronicity.

In the writer's experience and understanding, the Cosmic does not cause a thing to occur solely for a
single reason. It usually has several reasons for manifesting a certain condition or circumstance in a
person's life. This is in fact an expression of the Law of Economics. Figuratively speaking, the
Cosmic "kills several birds with a single stone."

The Law of Relative Truth

Every statement is true in one sense, false in another, and meaningless from the standpoint of the
Tao. This is a function of one's vantage point (world- view). In the words of Hassan Ibn Sabbah,
"Nothing is true. Everything is permissible."

There are two kinds of Truth in the cosmos, one Absolute, the other Relative. The Absolute Truth is
unchanging and eternal. What it is in actuality cannot be described with positive statements but with
negative pronouncements, such as the famous yogic expression; "neti, neti," or "not this, not this."
Positive statements simply circumscribe and limit the nature of Absolute Truth. We may, for
instance, describe the Absolute as being pure; instantly, the question comes up, "how pure?" By such
inquiries we fall back into the conceptual world, into the world of relativity with which we
customarily feel comfortable.

Relative truth has many facets and is ever changing. It is illusory in one sense, and in another real
only to those who have conscious awareness of it or give it credence. For instance, certain forms of
black magic are based upon the fear principle as transmitted through suggestions. Should one accept
and believe in the nefarious suggestions one gives them power over oneself. If their illusory power is
seen for what it is and negated through right understanding, then the suggestions have no affect on
one's being.

The Law of Connection

Every action between two psycho-organisms is an energy exchange, and connection between them
remains even after separation. Every transmission of energy causes a link to be formed between the
giver and the receiver. Unless severed by metaphysical means, this link created by the processes
described above remains indefinitely; and this linkage may cause some problems to both parties. In
the Huna teachings of Polynesia this link is called the "aka thread."

To oppose something with force, whether physical, emotional or mental, is to maintain its psychic
connection and power over us. "Two opposites each contain the essence of the other." This law is the
basis of karmic relationships between life- units and is far reaching in its effects.

The Law of Synthesis

"Any two opposing forces or concepts may be unified in a (single) force which will contain both the
original opposites." This is the Law of Creation. By unifying two different energies we create
something new which has something of each of its parent and yet, different from the energies that
produced it. Take for instance hydrogen and oxygen. Both are different manifestations which may be
isolated in the laboratory. By combining these gases, we produce water, H2O. We use this illustration
as an example of the application of the law in a physical sense. This law is not confined to the
physical, however. It may be applied to the emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of the micro- and
macrocosm. This Law of Synthesis is a sub- law of the Law of Trinity.

The Law of Personification

"Any concept, force, object, or phenomena may be considered to be alive, to have a personality, to be
an entity." Corollary to this law are the sub- laws of Invocation and Evocation: "any concepts, forces,
or objects which manifest as entities can and should be treated as real beings. These beings, (or
patterns of conscious energy), can also be viewed as objectified aspects of ourselves, but it is useless,
perhaps even dangerous, to take this attitude while actually dealing with them. Do not be fooled just
because something is only the personification of a pattern of energies. Yo u can be described this way,
too."

It should be stressed that this universe is a living organism. This universe is made up of patterns of
energies of different structures and frequencies. There is nothing dead in the universe, and energy is
the basis of life. Patterns of energies possesses intelligence, each with its own degree of awareness.
Humans, like everything else are composed of energies. Interaction or intercourse with energies may
be beneficial or harmful- not because of any inherent goodness or evil, but because the energies are
inharmonious or harmonious with one's energy-structure and system.

The Law of Interfaces

"Power exists in the interfaces of things. These are the "between" places that are not entirely one
thing or another. Traditionally, these places include caves, grottoes, towers, mountains, beaches,
wells, crossroads, and cliffs."

"All the chief times of change of the day are also considered to be powerful (as interfaces). These are
dawn, noon, twilight (sunset), and midnight." Dawn is neither morning nor night, twilight is neither
night nor day, etc. Also, the solstices and equinoxes, the seasonal changes of the year, have always
been thought very important for the same reason.

During the "between" time and places the interface between the third dimension and the fourth or
higher are thinned; it is also a condition where cosmic energies are increased. At the various
interfaces, human consciousness, vibrations and energies are raised, while the consciousness,
vibrations and energies of fourth-dimensional beings are lowered causing a possible interaction
between both. Magical rituals and mystical practices are more potent when carried-out according to
the Law of Interfaces.

There are also energy points located geographically on the planet that function as interfaces between
dimensions. They may be located anywhere at all, even in one's own living room. These power points
are located on energy channels called in Chinese Occultism, "dragon lines." They correspond to the
Ley lines of Western occultism, and microcosmically, to the meridian channels within the human
body. These dragon lines and their power points are electromagnetic in nature, and though they may
have a geographical location they may change their position when caused by disrup tive
environmental conditions or disturbed by geo-terrestrial movements. Power points may radiate
beneficial or harmful energies--the "good and bad" chi of Feng Shui. Ancient temples and sites of
worship were normally built upon the earth's power points. The sacred feeling that ancient temples
may arouse in one is derived from the presence of the magnetism of the location's interface.
Conversely, a feeling of eeriness of a certain place may also be the result of a power point radiating
negative energy, or bad Chi. These energies attract spirits--whether nature or human- vibrating at
similar frequencies.

The Law of Words of Power

"There are words (symbols) that are able to change the inner and/or outer realities of those
using/perceiving them. These words do not necessarily need to be consciously understood by those
using/perceiving them in order to have their effect." The basis of these words of power, or mantras lie
in their vibrational value, in the structural energy-pattern that they form through the enunciation of
them, and the way that these vibrations and energy-pattern affect our bio- field, internal organs, and
environment.

That sound vibrations may form into patterns may be demonstrated by placing a plate of glass on a
pedestal and sprinkling fine sand on the glass, one can manifest the patterns of the vibrations by
drawing a violin bow on the edge of the glass plate and cause the vibrations to flow across the surface
of the glass thereby arranging the sand in various forms and patterns. The formation of intricate
patterns of snow flakes are also the result of "sound," or vibration.

The vibrational value is just one aspect of the power of mantras; another view is that these words
have accumulated power through their use and attention over thousands of years. From this
perspective, mantras through their constant use, are imbued with a certain consciousness and acquire
a certain existence in the higher dimensions. The use of them puts one into contact with their intrinsic
mother-power bestowed upon them by the mind of beings who have used them throughout the ages.
Through its use mantras become more and more powerful.

One of the notions concerning words of power is that there is an intrinsic primordial connection, a
resonance, between these words and the forces or concepts they represent that goes beyond human
design. "Many people believe this about Sanskrit, claiming that it is the original root language of
humanity." The same principle applies to the Arabic alphabet where each character is supposed to
represent a khodam, or angelic spirit being and its power. Repeated enunciation, or chanting of the
characters of the alphabet supposedly evokes the spirit beings which resonates with them.

From the above we can see that in some ancient traditions and languages, the occult power and value
of sounds were embodied in or represented by the characters of their alphabet. The knowledgeable
one would know how to arrange these characters/sounds to manipulate nature's forces for the desired
effects.

The Law of Magical Names

In magical systems of symbolism, "a name is the thing named." "This is to say that, in some way,
there is an analogical correspondence between the name and the thing named. There is a connection
created by shared structure," a certain resonance.

"To know the true name of a person, place, or thing is to have complete control over it. Of course,
you could never command something to do anything which was not in its nature. To know a thing's
true name is to know its nature. What most people consider to be a name is really, in the magical
sense, only a label." One's true name is related to the vibrational value, or the frequency of one's
Soul-Self.

The Law of Group-Consciousness

An individual has power to transform his personal reality, but a group of individuals possess the
power to transform a collective reality by working together for a common purpose. There is more
power working in numbers than when working solitarily. Reality may be shared with others--one's
experiences, circumstances, and conditions may be adopted by others as their own. A single person
may fail to save his nation from catastrophe, but by working with others the impending catastrophe
may be eradicated. For instance, in the Old Testament there is this story of Sodom and Gomorrah.
The inhabitants of these twin cities were degenerated. One day God visited Abraham and expressed
his intention of destroying them. Abraham then started bargaining on their behalf. The bargain ended
by God acquiescing to Abraham's plea that if 10 good men were found He would not destroy those
cities.

This tale demonstrates the law that if a group of men were to gather together for a common purpose
and work some changes, whether physically or metaphysically, dire predictions of cala mities may be
withheld from manifestation and destroyed before they outpicture in the physical world. The prayer
of a single person may have the power to affect two persons, the prayers of two individuals may
affect 4 people, the prayers of three individuals affect 8, and so on. Each time the power is multiplied
by two and grows in momentum. Dispensations from the Lords of Karma may give our prayers the
power of 4, 8, 10 or more.

COSMIC LAWS, PART 3

The Law of Labeling
When we label anything, we exclude true information concerning it. "This is because the thing becomes
obscured by other information (which may be false) stored under the label for the thing." It is then
possible for misinformation to occur concerning the thing. Labeling does not define a thing nor explain
its true nature. It results in confusion. It may offer a relative understanding, but at the same time it closes
off further inquiry. Labeling is related to opinions. Opinions seldom reflect truth; if they were, they
would be deemed as facts.

"If I were to say, 'I study magic,' this would immediately bring up all the associations and stored data
under the label 'magic.' Some people would believe I am a stage magician; some people would think I
am a Satanist, while still others would decide that I study magic as a historian. Yet none of these
opinions actually has anything to do with what I would mean by the word 'magic.'"

"When you symbolize something, you impose the deep structure of the symbol system used on the way
you perceive the thing symbolized." In actuality, nothing changes of the thing in itself; what changes is
one's attitudes and reactions to the thing being symbolized. The danger lies here: one's attitudes and
reactions as a result of one's belief concerning a thing might greatly damage the integrity of the thing if
it chooses to conform to the lie of the label, and it also karmically affects oneself. For instance, calling
someone "worthless" whether justified or not damages firstly, our own psyc he in subtle ways; and
secondly, it might harm the other person's psyche if he is not spiritually centered. In truth the label
"worthless" does not reflect the reality where every creature is worthy in the eyes of God.

"People tend to believe that they understand something when they have a name for it. This is called
nominalization. It enables people to take very ill-defined concepts and continuing processes and talk
about them as if they were concrete things. The problem is that frequently even the users of these terms
or names do not know what they mean.' For instance, we call a certain force electricity, and yet we
hardly know what it is. "Nominalization is an important tool. However, we must realize when we are
using," and misusing it, or to cause it to overpower us.

The Law of Energy Conservation

In Nature nothing is wasted. Nothing is destroyed. One thing transforms into another in a continuous
flux. The potential energy of this universe has always remained constant.

Since Nature functions in a manner that conserves energy, so man must reflect her processes in order to
fulfill his sense of oneness and harmony with her. Succinctly, the evolutionary progress of man lies in
energy conservation. Man's essential substance or energy has to be increased, conserved, cultivated,
transformed, sublimated, and circulated throughout the energy-structure of the microcosm. Such an
alchemical process generates and regenerates man's life principle and offers rapid unfoldment of the
spiritual faculties. The Law of Energy Conservation and its rich rewards may also be applied to other
organisms as well such as a city, a planet, a business firm, etc. This law is related to the Law of
Economy.
The Law of Association
"If two things, (A) and (B), have something in common, that thing in common can be used to influence
both. Also, (A) and (B) have a mutual influence on each other" because of the similarity. "The more they
have in common, the more influence they exert upon one another. The Law of Association may be
divided into two sub- laws" :

Law of Similarity

"The cause and effect resemble, (or) have resonance with one another." As an example, a magical ritual
"to cause a rainstorm might involve dripping water onto the ground. A ritual to fly might involve
wearing feathers and chirping like a bird, etc." A poppet or doll constructed to resemble someone may
resonate with that person; and any action exerted upon the doll with great emotional force may also
affect the person. This is called "sympathetic magic," and is often abused by occult practitioners.

Law of Contagion

Things once in contact continue to interact at subtle levels after physical separation. "Anything once in
contact with a substance, person, or object may be used as a 'witness'" or an etheric link for that
substance, person, or object; and through that link influence them in certain ways. "A good example
would be the traditional use of hair or nail clippings attached to a voodoo doll," for the purpose of
influencing the person that the doll represents. "A witness could be thought of like a tuning crystal in a
radio." Another aspect of this law functions thus: an object from a thing, such as from an animal, when
worn imbue us with the animal's inherent qualities. Its magnetism modifies our own force-field. The
application of this law is called "homeopathic magic," and is related to the Law of Connections. The
laws of Similarity and Contagion work hand in hand.

The Law of Pattern

"Information can be viewed as a measure of the unpredictability of a message. The more unpredictable a
message is, the more information it contains."

"In systems, the most probable state is rest (dispersion of available energy). Since systems tend towards
entropy, the least probable state is that of potential work. Thus, we can think of the degree of order in a
system as the amount of energy in it."

In a different sense, pattern is information. Information is energy. The more information you have, the
less energy you may need to expend depending upon the correctness of the information. Knowledge is
power.

"Some people have defined life as negative entropy because it evolves; i.e., develops greater and greater
complexities of pattern. In this sense, the universe becomes more intelligent every day," because the
greater the complexity, the greater the intelligence.

Law of Intelligence
"Any (energy-) pattern of sufficient complexity will act intelligently when treated as an entity." As
mentioned before, the more complex an energy-structure, the more intelligence it possesses. The
universe is composed of energy-structures within a greater structural energy-pattern; and this goes on ad
infinitum. Let us illustrate this: electrons are to be found within an atom; atoms are an integral part of a
molecule; molecules may be part of a greater structure called cells; and a structure of cells ultimately
form higher living organisms. The process, however, does not stop there. Man, for instance, is but a
miniscule part of something larger. What is important here to know is that at every level, some sort of
intelligence is evident and displayed. There is nothing that we can touch, feel, see, or interact with in any
way that does not have an intelligence of some kind.

"A pattern more complex than ourselves could be said to be more intelligent than us. Keep in mind,
though, that the human brain is still far more complex than the most advanced computer yet built."

In his smugness man may consider himself to be the epitome or acme of creation; however, the acme of
creation has not been typified by any creature of God and never will be, for the process of evolution is
eternal and the goal is never really reached. Poetically, we may say that although we may touch the outer
fringes of a flame, we will never ever be able to reach its central core. The core always recedes from us.

The Law of Self-Preservation

One of the most important laws in immediate operation in the lives of all life-units, all organisms,
physical or non-physical is the Law of Self-Preservation. Every life-unit is striving to maintain and
sustain its existence at some level and attempting to exist on a higher spiral of being, a higher life
expression. Going contrary to this law, as in suicide, for instance, where the desire is to terminate self-
existence, is a crime against Nature.

At a lower level, the body of an organism is identified as the self; thus self-preservation at this level
entails preserving the body from harm or extinction. Some strains of viruses, though inimical to man and
struggling against the attempts of men to destroy them, are simply obeying the natural law of existence.
Fundamentally, all life- units have a right to exist so long as they do not encroach upon the existence of
other life- units and disturb the harmony of the Universe.

At a higher level, from the spiritual person upwards, although encompassing the lower aspects of
preserving the physical vehicle from harm, self-preservation also implies preserving or maintaining the
awareness of one's Real Self, one's true identity, one's Divine Spark at the level of one's mundane
consciousness. In contemporary mysticism, this level of consciousness is called "Cosmic
Consciousness," or the sankalpa samadhi of the Hindu Yogis.

The Law of Harmony

Every life- unit has to be in harmony with its surroundings, with itself, with the whole universe in order
to evolve and to maintain its integrity at every level in which it operates. Harmony is a direct result of
right relationship, which should be ingrained in our behavior and attitude towards our environment,
towards others, and towards our higher selves. Inharmony with the universe and with one's natural being
only results in pain, illness, suffering and misery.

Maintaining harmony within the microcosmic components and the microcosm's relationship with the
universe are a fundamental purpose of life. It is a natural and simple way of life without the indulgence
of any excess or shortages. Too much or too little of one thing causes problems. An excess of pleasure
results in pain, for instance. Too little physical movement or exercise may cause an anemic condition.
Equilibrium should be sought in all conditions. Harmony means peace, contentment, and spiritual
awareness. Living in attunement and alignment with the laws governing one's being results in harmony.
The Law of Harmony is also the Law of Balance. This law when applied help make us masters of
ourselves and Nature, or conquerors over any agitated conditions which can occur in any dimension of
Divine Existence.

Everything has a Yin and Yang aspect. Everything is balanced and harmonious in Nature. If there is an
up, there is also a down; if there is an inside there is also an outside; if there are many, there are also a
few; if there is fullness, there is also emptiness; what occurs in the north will also occur in the south,
what occurs in the east will also occur in the west; if there is that which is far, there is also that which is
near; that which is on the left, also that which is on the right, etc. This law aids us in reading the signs
that Nature produces in understanding situations, conditions, and circumstances. This law is also
associated with the Law of Synchronicity.

Harmony may also be defined as the submission of one's will to Cosmic laws, to God's unfolding Plan
and to the Cosmic Intelligences that cooperate with Cosmic laws in bringing God's Plan into
manifestation.

The Law of Love

Love is one of the aspects of God, of the Cosmic. Love is the motivating force that causes motion,
attraction, and growth. In its essence Love is divine like everything else; however, metaphysically
speaking, Divine Love vibrates at a very high frequency, and is an active expression of God-
Consciousness. Any being that loves truly and impersonally is divinely-centered. Love give s one access
to spiritual and divine energies. There is a power in love that may subjugate even the wildest beast
(literally, and figuratively speaking). Every creature on the evolutionary path has an instinct to love.

One's spiritual growth is dependent upon the unfoldment of love within one's heart. The greater our
unconditional and impersonal love, directed by wisdom and understanding, the greater our spirituality.
Love has to be expressed wisely and not foolishly in a self-centered, sentimental manner. Where there is
emptiness and depression in a person's life, you can be sure it is caused by a lack of love. A person who
does not know how to give love or to receive love is spiritually sick. Love must first be generated within
if we are to experience it coming from without. "Love increases as judgement decreases." Before
sending love out to the world we must first possess it within ourselves. We cannot give what we do not
have. However, it is more important to love than to be loved--the former is essentia l, the latter less so--
not even necessary for spiritual advancement. When one is full of love one does not go seeking for it.

Everything in the universe is directed by the Law of Love. In Christianity, Love is synonymous to God.
People normally associate love with emotions; however, love is more than sentimentality. At man's
present stage of evolution, it is clearly felt as an emotion because within the microcosm, the feeling,
astral body, is one of the most responsive to its influence. The physical body is likewise very reactive to
the love force, it does so through the desire for sexual union. As man progresses he will respond
mentally and spiritually to the love force as he now does in a physical and an emotional way. When man
loves, he should do so through the exercise of his will and not be prompted to express its imitation at the
call of the base instincts. This should not be interpreted to mean that sex is solely an animalistic act. The
expression of the sexual force may be divine or it may be otherwise depending on how we channel it
through our energy-structure.

The ancient Greek philosophers classified love into three different categories: Eros, Philos, and Agape;
or sexual, brotherly, and divine love, respectively. Love is a powerful remedy to many mundane
problems, although one must clearly know the difference between personal, selfish love, and
impersonal, divine love. Basically, there are two expressions of love that holy, masterful beings express:
unconditional and impersonal love. Unconditional love is love expressed to and for another without any
thought of self, without any expectation or hope for a return of that love, or for any reward. Spiritual
beings are aware that they are the embodiment of love itself and thus need nothing in return. For loving
another is loving oneself. Impersonal love is loving another or others without any undue attachment to
the object of one's love or affection. One gives freedom to others to be themselves and one is not too
upset if one ends up being a victim of a sour relationship. A higher aspect of loving is to express it with
understanding and wisdom--through an enlightened mind..

The Law of Records

Every event that occurs in the universe is not lost. They are indelibly imprinted upon the Akashic
Records. Akasha, literally means space; however, in this context it refers to certain substances of the
cosmic dimensions. These cosmic substances and their impressionable nature are referred to in certain
religions as the "Book of Records." And the law that records impressions as the "Recording Angel."

Whatever action, words, or thoughts expressed by beings, whether done secretly or openly, are recorded
in Akasha. This law is a subconscious working of the Cosmic Mind, meaning that it works automatically
without any angelic intelligence directing it. However, in some cases, as in certain important events of a
solar, planetary, or human level, records are kept and well organized within the repositories in the
spiritual realms by certain spiritual guardians. These repositories are called the "Hall of Records," and
are looked after by beings of a high spiritual caliber. Advanced occultists are able to read the Akashic
Records pertaining to a person, object, or place; however what low-calibre psychics often read are the
reflections and distortions of the Akashic Records existing in the lower planes of Maya. Psychometry is
an occult art of reading records impressed onto objects. Most haunted houses are the result of imprinted
events of the past. In such cases, although no real "ghosts" are involved in the haunting, the emotional
impact of past events were strong enough for psychic images to be impressed and live in the Akashic
substance of the environment and be re-played during the right environmental conditions for the average
person to experience, or read by the genuine psychic.

In the microcosm, or man in his totality, various components function as recording devices for the
thoughts, feelings, actions, and level of soul-development of the incarnated soul. Such components are
the seed-atoms, the aura, the causal body, the chakras, the blood-stream, and the skeletal bones.

The Law of Economy

This law refers to the right use of energy, force, matter, and space. It is the right use of thoughts, words,
and actions; the right use of incoming impressions, inspirations and directions. A pound of force should
not be used if an ounce of it is sufficient enough to do the job. Too much of anything is not always a
good thing, it may affect one adversely. Assistance invoked and then rejected is a violation of the Law
of Economy. Why should one be economical? For the reason that though energy be abundant in the
universe, it is not always made available for our personal use. A lack of energy results in a lack of
motion, and a lack of progress. The Law of Economy is that of survival, or self-preservation, of
maintaining wholeness. It causes matter always to follow the line of least resistance.

To be economical refers to the right use of cosmic substance in accordance with the Divine Plan and in
harmony with the Divine purpose--or in harmony with one's conscience and one's sense of
responsibility. In the field of economics, the Law of Economy is usually applied through the processes
of recycling, energy conservation, and the right use of Nature's resources.

The Law of Resurrection

This is a law that aids all life- units to transcend mortal limitations and barriers and ascend into higher
states of consciousness, into more expanded horizons and into more glorious vehicles and relationships
with divine beings. This law provides us with cosmic dispensations, techniques and principles that when
taken advantage of results in rapid soul advancement.

Here the word resurrection does not refer to the rising from the grave at the trumpet call of the "last
day," or the end of the world. Certain religions would have us believe this; from the metaphysical point
of view this is a fallacious notion; however, there is an esoteric side to this: resurrection from the grave
is symbolic of the soul rising from the grave of human consciousness into the light of Divine
Consciousness. Resurrection, therefore, refers to consciousness-expansion, to spiritual transcendence of
the mortal state of consciousness. Although one may "die daily" like St. Paul, one should also daily
resurrect one's consciousness.
The Law of Sacrifice and Death
In order to progress spiritually a life-unit would have to sacrifice certain false beliefs concerning its life
existence. It would also have to sacrifice its false ego with its many negative desires, emotions, thoughts,
habits, and personal traits. Death to the false ego, or its transcendence, would cause the birth of the
Christ Principle within one's consciousness. Severed heads in religious icons are symbolic of the
elimination of the human ego. Generally, in order to rise to the higher, one would have to die to the
lower. For instance, to attain god-status, human, mortal perspectives and understanding of life should be
given up and be replaced with a spiritual, wider, and more expansive comprehension and view of things.

Sacrifice also entails giving up self-centeredness and self- importance for the good and welfare of the
whole. Serving others instead of catering to one's lower self is one of the keys that open the portals of
heaven. Surrendering one's egoistic will for the true will of God embodied in our Higher Self is an act of
sacrifice; however such an act may be an act of joy depending on our perspective. Selflessness, sacrifice,
service and surrender are the four keys that leads to spiritual attainment. They are the means to spiritual
growth.

Each true sacrifice is a work that beautifies the Soul. It paves the way toward greater and greater glories
and achievements in God's infinite universe.

The Law of Sacrifice is related to the Law of Submission where one simply allows the Higher
Intelligence to do its work through our consciousness without any egoic interference and without
moping about the results or outcome.

The Law of Supply and Demand

This is the applied will and spoken word with emotion that will supply any man that which he demands,
if it is done in a correct manner. The power of the spoken word is applied through prayers, affirmations,
invocations, and decrees coupled with the appropriate visualizations, consciousness-state, and energy to
support it. When the demand is made with sincerity of motive, and with the correct attitude, beings or
the intelligences of the universe capable of supplying our demand will respond and come to our aid in
the name of the Most High. In most cases, one does not simply receive what one demands; there are
many requirements that has first to be fulfilled. For instance, before receiving one has first to give. One
has to build up one's account in the cosmic ledger. The Law of Supply and Demand is commonly
applied in a slightly different sense in the field of business and economics.

The Law of Split and Divide

This is a law of generation. All life-plant life, animal and human life, and the life of corporate businesses
splits, divides, and diversifies in the process of branching out. One of the apparent purposes for this is in
the possibility of manifesting or perpetuating new life forms with a higher complexity and of a greater
importance. The more complex a life- form, the greater the possibility for a higher intelligence or energy-
system to embody. This law normally functions automatically in Nature. At some levels though, this law
may be personally directed by man.

This split and divide law can be observed at the cellular level where cells divide and multiply under the
direction of an unknown intelligence. Why do cells divide and multiply? For the same reason that the
One generated the many. This may not tell us much but an in-depth understanding of this law reveals
much concerning the secrets of creation.

The Law of Transmutation

Man has the privilege of transmuting his environment, his reality, his being into something more
glorious. The key to almost anything one can accomplish is the ability to transmute one's thoughts and
feelings. The key to everything lies in the consciousness and its power to interact with the environment
through physical and subtle means. The main force of transmutation is fire, whether cosmic, mental or
physical fire. Alchemy is the art of transmutation.

Man's spiritual growth is dependent upon the degree that he transmutes his microcosmic principles into a
glorious expression fit enough for the Lord of the Universe to dwell. This law like many others, is
subjected to the direction of the will of man.

The Law of Numerology

All things depend upon numbers. All things are created by numbers and controlled by numbers. Cosmic
waves, vibrations, cycles and radiations are measured in frequencies and numbers which are nothing
more than numerical energy-patterns. The frequency of a thing determines its manifestation or
expression. Change the frequency of a thing and we change the manifestation of the thing itself.
Mathematics is a universal and inter-dimensional language. It is important to note that figures
representing numbers are not the same as the numbers themselves. One are signs, while the other are
principles. Numbers may be considered as Cosmic phenomena. Each number has a cosmic import and is
in itself a Cosmic law. Every number has a philosophical significance and is applicable in almost every
field of human endeavor. We, as metaphysicians cherish them for their occult value.

Though numerology is now promoted as an occult art of fortune telling, the real power and esoteric side
of numbers remains as yet unknown to most occultists. This esoteric value of numbers was intensively
studied by Pythagoras, one of the ancient Greek philosophers. Pythagoras referred to numbers in the
following terms: Monad-1, Duad-2, Triad-3, Tetrad-4, Pentad-5, Hexad-6, Heptad-7, Ogdoad-8,
Ennead-9, and Decad-10. The study of numbers is deep and profound and this brief description of the
Law of Numerology does not do the subject any justice.

The Law of Assumption

Whatever a life-unit of whatever kingdom experiences, feels and thinks it is possible to assume its
mental and emotional condition and to experience what it experiences. This is empathy. Conversely, by
the same law, it is also possible to influence any life-unit with one's thoughts and feelings. Assumption
is not restricted to the emotions or thoughts of a life-unit. One may also assume the power and
characteristic of any life-unit.

To assume the feelings of a person or a thing is an outstanding action. To assume the feelings of a plant
or tree brings oneness or realization that you are that which you assumed. Anything can be assumed:
stones, plants, animals, spirits, human beings, gods, angels, and even the Cosmic Mind. By assuming a
thing it is possible to acquire the virtues/vices of the thing. The Law of Assumption may also be called
the Law of Identification.

One of the related laws of the Law of Assumption is the Law of Attunement. When two things resonate
with one another they are said to be in attunement. In such a state there may be an energy-exchange
between the two things.

The Law of Liberty

Humanity has been given the gift of freedom of choice; and this freedom should be appropriated in
concord with the Cosmic laws if man is to reap spiritual harvests. The gift of freedom of choice should
not be misused or abused as they result in negative consequences. Since the Cosmic does not impose its
will upon man, likewise man should not impose his will upon others--this is against the Law of Liberty.
Every creature enjoys its freedom. It is an instinct implanted in all life- units. No being likes being
captive. Tyranny and oppression in any form is a crime against Liberty. The control and manipulation of
another at any level is destructive to one's self- interest in the long run.
The Law of Liberty declares that all beings are free to express their pristine, innate nature so long as it
does not harm anyone or anything; and anyone or anything that interferes with that expression violates
the Law of Liberty and will be karmically responsible. It is believed by some that angels do not possess
freedom of choice as do human beings; that they are spiritual automatons, doing only that what they
have been programmed to do by the Creator. This is not entirely accurate. Certain classes of angels have
evolved to the point where they choose to transcend their own personal will and carry-out the will of the
Cosmic for the welfare of all. No egoism is left in them.

One's spirituality grows as one liberates oneself from self- imposed mortal restrictions. One is free to
believe, think, and act as a mortal as one will; however, it is the courageous soul that frees itself from
such mental bondage. All beings that liberate themselves from the lower will attain the higher. Liberty is
a precious gift that humanity ought to treasure. It is through this law that our character develops with the
choices that we make in our mundane lives. Whether our choices are "right" or "wrong," it is all part of
the learning process. Hindering someone making mistakes may stall the growth of that person. The
mistakes we make should be our own and not another's. Progress at any level and in any form proceeds
rapidly for all parties concerned when this law is applied.

The Law of Tithing

This is one of the Cosmic laws usually applied for prosperity, although it is not restricted to such.
Tithing generally means giving or offering ten percent of one's income to an institution, organization or
a person that represents the source of one's spiritual nourishment; however, it is not just money that we
can tithe. We can also tithe our time, energy, knowledge, earthly goods, etc. Tithing or zakat is one of
the pillars of Islam.

What is the value of tithing? By giving away a portion of our earnings or that which we have been
blessed with, we ensure their continual supply in abundance. To use an expression: by casting our bread
upon the waters, it returns to us manifold. What we give returns to us multiplied. The more we give the
more we receive. So-called luck is the result of abundant giving. The Cosmic Intelligences adjusts the
return of, or the "when," "how," and "where" of our tithing.

The vital attitude behind the whole Law of Tithing is that of sincerity. The law works truly if we give in
all sincerity without actually expecting anything in return. To give without being sincere does not evoke
the Law into operation. To crave for the fruit of one's action fails to bring the desired abundance into our
lives.

The Law of Obedience

The more one obeys or aligns oneself with the way of Nature, Cosmic laws and one's true Will, the
greater will be one's progress or evolution toward the Light. The lower principles of one's being must be
subservient to the higher aspect of one's microcosmic being. The personality must obey the directions of
the Spiritual Triad of the microcosm; the instincts must obey the dictates of reason. The intellectual
force must serve the love energy emanating from one's highest nature. In general, the lower must serve
the higher as the higher serves, or assists the lower. This applies to the Master-Disciple relationship,
Archangel- Human relationship, as well as the relationship between the Spiritual Hierarchy and
Humanity. It should be noted here too that although the higher serves the lower, it is not its servant.
Spiritual Intelligences do not serve the ego but for the greater good.

The Law of Harmlessness

This is one of the laws pertaining to soul- growth. In Sanskrit harmlessness is called ahimsa; it is one of
the requisite divine attribute or quality that the disciple has to embody. Generally speaking, the higher
the being, the greater its expression of harmlessness. In order to possess perfect harmlessness one must
be pure in body, mind, and soul; one must evoke the aspect of love and compassion of the Spiritual
Triad or the Higher Self to dwell in the Personality, the lower self. Harmlessness as a result of love and
compassion must also be directed by the wisdom aspect of the soul or else it may end up violating the
Law of Self-Preservation.

The Law of Consecration

Wherever one focuses one's mind with intense thought and with a certain intention or desire in mind,
one transmits energy to it. The nature of this energy may be beneficial or non-beneficial in accord with
the nature of our thoughts and emotions; if the latter, it may be termed "a curse," or if the former, "a
blessing." Consecration is the act of blessing an object with divine energy that it may be a center of
spiritual radiation. To execute the Law of Consecration certain requirements must be fulfilled such as
proper spiritual, mental and physical preparation of the consecrator; a working knowledge of rituals and
their application; knowledge of manipulating energies; the ability to invoke spiritual beings for
assistance, etc. Not only objects may be consecrated, but also places, people, purposes, etc. Consecration
exalts the nature of the thing being blessed.

Consecration evokes a higher sense of purpose and being. It causes improved psychological changes in
the person being consecrated; or if it is a thing, it gives it a value of spiritual significance. Consecrated
purposes is the drive, the motivating force, the power of great achievements. Anyone wishing to
accomplish something great in this world should consecrate or dedicate his work to the object of his
love, most appropriately to the highest concept of God that he or she embraces. Living a consecrated life
speeds up soul- growth. The Law of Consecration can thus be said to be a sub- law of the Law of
Evolution.

The Law of Divine Circulation

Whatever resources, energies, abilities and time one possesses must be used to promote the welfare of
all beings. By circulating one's energies, we have it returned to us manifold. Conversely, holding up
energies, possessions, or resources for selfish reasons results in a lifeless conscious state. One's Cosmic
treasure laid up in heaven does not grow when we live selfishly, or self-centeredly. Like the Dead Sea
where its waters are unable to circulate because there are no channels for an inflow or outflow. Nothing
grows in its waters. There is no life there. The same thing happens when we do not circulate that which
is our privilege to direct but not to control, to possess but not to own. This law is associated with the
Law of Tithing; the latter law is in fact a sub- law of the Law of Divine Circulation. Circulation of
energy occurs between two dimensions, between two entities, two organisms, two conditions, etc. Each
party circulating energy benefits from it. Einstein's equation E=Mc2 is also an expression of the Law of
Divine Circulation. Energy organizes itself to form matter and then releases itself. This cycle is repeated
endlessly.

The Law of Detachment

In Sanskrit, detachment is called Vairagya. This is another law governing soul-unfoldment and is a sub-
law of the Law of Evolution. In order to progress spiritually, the mental and emotional body have to be
mastered. The emotional or desire body is a vehicle that have to be controlled by the incarnating Soul if
it wishes to unfold its innate divinity with its many faculties. The various emotions and desires simply
act as a distraction to the Soul who has set its eyes upon spiritual perfection. The undesirable vibrations
and energies emanating from lowly desires and feelings crystallizes the desire and mental vehicles
making it difficult for the Higher Self to influence or to direct them. Soul-contact is therefore blocked or
severed. Unstable emotions and thoughts are hindrances and obstacles on the spiritual Path.

The emotional body is susceptible to glamour, whereas the mental body is susceptible to illusion.
Detachment is a way of mastering the mental sheath and emotional body. Whatever good or ill happens
to one's personality, one's vehicles of expressions in this physical world, one should maintain one's calm
and poise. One should be centered upon the Soul- level.
The Law of Discernment
Like the above, this is a law governing the evolutionary progress of life- units possessing human
consciousness. It is a mental law like the Law of Detachment. In Sanskrit, discernment or discrimination
is called Viveka. This usually means discerning or discriminating between what is Real and what is
unreal; what is illusory and false, and what is true. Why should we exercise our mental power of
discernment? To gain enlightenment.

Whatever is evanescent in Nature is unreal. The Real is immutable, it does not change. Forms are related
to illusions, whereas the essence that brought forms into existence is the part of Nature that is Real.
Identifying oneself with what is unreal is ignorance and prolongs one's consciousness in a state of
slumber. The awakening liberates oneself from the mortal state. The application of Viveka is related to
introspection, Self- inquiry and Jnana Yoga. This is reflected in such questions such as "Who am I?"
"What am I?" By exercising the Law of Discernment we eventually transcend the lower planes and
reach the spiritual dimensions.

The Law of Immortality

The Cosmic is eternal and immortal; and that which contains the essence of the Cosmic in its inner core
is likewise eternal and immortal although its outward form, vehicle or expression is subjected to change.
Energy is immortal. It cannot be destroyed, only transformed. Forms composing of energy may appear
to die or vanish but, scientifically speaking, there is only a molecular or atomic mutation. In actuality
there is no death. There is only transition from one dimension to another.

What is Real is eternal, or immortal. The false is ever-changing. Man is a mixture of both the Real and
the unreal. A mixture of Truth and Maya. There is a part of him that is immortal and a part of him that is
ephemeral; a part of him that is being and a part of him that is becoming. Identification with the part that
is in a constant state of change causes a displacement in one's consciousness. This leads to a state of
confusion regarding one's Self- identity and one's purpose of being. Amidst such confusion the false ego
and so-called human limitation has its birth and is sustained until one breaks the barrier of mortal beliefs
and identify with one's true Self, the part of us that is Real, immortal and divine.

Physical immortality is a possibility and has been demonstrated by some mystic masters throughout the
ages. Though everlasting youth and physical immortality may be a dream to some, it is a reality to those
who follow the path of spiritual and physical regeneration. Physical immortality does not imply that one
will live in the physical body forever. It does, however, give one the divine right and occult ability to
determine when one should leave this physical plane, whether it be ten years or 2,000 years from now.
When that time comes, the physical body does not die in the customary manner. It is transformed into
light. This is what Javanese mystics call "moksha," although the word has a different connotation in
Yogic philosophy. This transformation adds a new dimension to the expression, "great men do not die,
they simply fade away." The methods of acquiring youth and immortality though carefully hidden have
been revealed to the spiritual disciples of this modern age. Some of the secret laws of these two prized
conditions, everlasting youth and physical immortality, are actually revealed in these papers on Cosmic
laws, though they are not openly declared as such. Those with eyes to see, let them see.

The Law of Necessity

That which is necessary to fulfill the requirements of Nature may be said to be the Law of Necessity.
Nature abhors a vacuum. She will always fill it with the best possible replacement at hand. When the
personal will is discarded in favor of the higher will of God, of a higher design, this may be said to be
the implementation of the Law of Necessity.

The Law of Effectiveness

Effectiveness is the measure of truth. Whatever works and is effective is of worth and is universal--
applicable by all beings regardless of race, religion, sex, etc. Whatever system that creates results may
be adopted for one's benefit so long as the Law of Harmlessness is taken into account. The best method
would benefit all symbiotic organisms of an ecological system. The means determines the end, the end
never justifies the means.

The Law of Power

Everything is energy, therefore everything has power--the power to influence, the power to create, the
power to manifest, the power to sustain, the power to destroy. Though everything has power, no power
external to us have control over us unless we allow it. We give our power away by fearing or having
negative feelings over a thing. Power or energy may be received through external sources and also
shared; however, basically all of an entity's power comes from within. Power is the result of energy,
force, intelligence, and consciousness. The more we acquire or increase the degree or ratio of any of
those four principles, the more powerful we become.

The Law of Now

Past, present and future are illusory phenomena conceived by the conscious mind. They do not exist in
an eternal universe where there is no real framework or reference point where time may be based.
Everything that is occurring in the universe is occurring now. All power, happiness, joy, peace, etc., that
we seek should be sought now, not in some uncertain date. We have no power in the past or in the
future. Now is the moment of power to implement change, not in the past or the present. Now is the only
time that we can act. Why should we worry over a "future" problem that has not occurred and has the
probability of not occurring? Why should we relive traumatic experiences of the past when we should be
focusing on the now moment with its many opportunities and possibilities of expansion, understanding
and growth? Ancient sages tell us to live a day at a time, that is, not to live in the past or in the future,
for by dwelling in those two states we would simply miss the opportunities that are before us.

The Law of Infinity

The universe is infinite and eternal. The mortal, concrete, lower mind thinks in the context of limitation
and separation. This is a useful world-view in certain situations as it helps us interact with the world in a
variety of ways. It is a useful illusion; however, in the path of spiritual development this is a hindrance
to enlightenment. In the spiritual, metaphysical evolutionary path one has to realize the Law of
Limitlessness. In actuality, there is no limit to anything. There is always room for growth, always a
higher peak to reach, always higher rungs on the ladder no matter where we stand on the evolutionary
path, whether we be a human being struggling to survive or a galactic god striving to organize its
constituent parts. There is no limit to anything unless we believe there are limits. There are no limits to
what we can do. We manifest limitation by utilizing our creative minds in a narrow, negative sense. In
order to properly conceive and apprehend the nature of infinity, of limitlessness, and eternity one would
have to grasp the principle by using the higher, abstract mind and the higher faculties of the Soul.

The Law of Uncertainty

Life does not guarantee anyone anything. Although laws govern life and we may depend on the integrity
of those laws, there are times when unknown laws come into play in our lives that we are not mentally,
emotionally, or physically prepared for--factors that we have not taken into account. Nothing is certain
in a relativistic sense. Everything has an unknown side or counterpart. Conditions and circumstances are
manifested and influenced by various known and unknown factors; there is no guarantee that a seeming
given set of causes would always have a single, sole effect. Laws are constants, however their behavior
and effect in our lives are variable because of the influence of the X- factors mentioned. Therefore,
related to this law is the Law of Probability. We can only determine probable outcomes to a given
situation. The more data or information we possess, the more knowledge of the laws involved in a
certain situation, condition, or circumstance, the more accurate we are in our prognosis. Analysis or
evaluation of a given situation may evoke the Law of Averages. This is based upon the Law of
Probability. For instance, to predict that a person would live to be 70 based upon a well-supervised diet
and holistic health regimen is a prognostication governed by the Laws of Averages and Probability.
