The Natural Laws of the Universe

The Ultimate Law of the Universe: ENERGY IS.

There are many laws of the Universe and we will touch a few of the ones that hold many others under their headings.

Seven Subsidiary Laws of the Universe

The Law of Perpetual Transmutation: (forever changing forms)

Meditating regularly on the Law of Perpetual Transmutation can and will help you make it a living belief for you. In a relaxed state, imagine a vast space above you, the size of the whole sky, and filled with energy. This is the formless realm; abundant enough to create ten thousand universes the size of our own, and still be nowhere near running out. Imagine it pregnant with potential, constantly giving birth to new forms in the material world. The answer lies in how successfully we can tap into the Law of Perpetual Transmutation, and manifest from the formless according to our desires. Rather than constantly immersing yourself in the world of Effects, i.e. the material world, more of your focus should go into the world of Causes. It is the mind that does this, and not some sort of "business strategy" or "method" they try to make by getting the right contacts, studying the right books, and learning financial techniques, and so on. This is all very well, but it is not the only factor in success, or even the first one. The first step to doing this is simply awareness. Being actually aware that your first priority should be working in the formless realm will get you a long way towards manifesting what you seek. Form will manifest from the formless, regardless of you. That is simply what happens by natural law. Hence, you can simply work with this process, and accelerate your progress, or try to ignore the law and experience relatively random results. Now, place yourself between the flow of Energy from the heavens. See the vast infinite energy flowing from the formless THROUGH YOU, and manifesting into form beneath you. It's like a gigantic hourglass. The energy particles move from the formless, using you as the conduit, and flow into the material world, changed by YOUR will! Rather than simply experiencing the effects of the Law of Perpetual Transmutation, you are bending it to your will. This is the way it was always intended to be used. In truth, the whole of creation is intelligent. Nothing happens by chance. This law was made to be intelligently used. If you use a meditation like this each and every day, you will make this Law of Perpetual Transmutation your own, and begin to realize its effects in your life. It will become a living reality to you, and not merely a theory. Interestingly, most people who want to achieve anything in the material world tend to focus almost exclusively upon

The Law of Relativity: (Perspective of Relative Relationships)

Nothing is good or bad until you relate to it. Have and attitude of thanksgiving or gratitude for everything you have and have received. Law of Relativity, which in basic terms is but the correlation of all things understood by the particular point of view from which they are seen. As this perspective shifts the relative relationship of those things also becomes different.

The Law of Polarity: (Yin and Yang)

Everything has an opposite. Focusing or meditating on good things and not the bad will draw you into closer relations with the Law of Attraction. Focus on whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure, and lovely. Reflecting on these things will bring joy and peace to your soul.

The Law of Vibration: (Law of Attraction)

This principle lies at the heart of visualization techniques. When you visualize and repeat affirmations, you are helping to tune your very being to a specific vibration frequency in your mind, body and soul. The essence of all things is vibration of energy that vibrates at specific frequencies. Many scientists believe that in the beginning, all things were created through sound (i.e. vibration) the "Word"/Logos. Our thoughts, feelings and actions also have their own particular rates of vibration. These vibrations will attracted whatever possesses the same identical frequency. As you think, feel and act, so you create the primary vibration of your being. The result is an attraction of circumstances, people, challenges and opportunities in exact vibration with your own prevailing vibration frequency.

The Law of Rhythm: (pendulum-swing)

Everything is moving in perfect rhythm and at perfect speed. Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things 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. RHYTHM is the law of Equilibrium and Compensation and maintains the balance in all things. It returns to us what we measure out in life. The return swing of the pendulum is assured without fail and there is no escape from the effects of this immutable Law. This Law holds us true to what we believe, or not believe, and compensates us accordingly. All of nature follows this law. Realized or not, the collective mindset of human behavior has a direct effect upon the elements of the surrounding environment. What you sow you will indeed reap, good or bad.

The Law of Cause and Effect: (You are what you think yourself to be)

"For every action there is equal and opposite reaction." This law states that thought is cause and effect is its manifest likeness. What is this law, and what explains the link between this law and subatomic particles of energy and the thought energy of man? The Law of Cause and Effect embodies a universal truth that you have probably heard uttered many times - Thoughts are things. Another way to put it is you are as you imagine yourself to be. Thoughts are real, and they have an effect on the energy that permeates and makes up all life in our universe. Even though thoughts are not dense matter, each of us creates our own reality and quality of life with our thought.

The Law of Gender: (male and female)

This law embodies the Truth that gender is manifested in everything - the masculine and feminine law is forever at work on all planes of life. Gender manifests on all three planes of life which is the spiritual, the mental, and the physical. This law works in the direction of generation, regeneration, and creation. All life forms contain the two elements of gender - masculine and feminine. On the physical plane, the sexes of all species are manifested as male and female and the role they play in sexual reproduction. On the mental plane, gender manifests as masculine and feminine energies that exist within each and every person. Every male has its female element, and every female has its male element. On the spiritual plane, gender manifests as the Father-Mother principle of the Infinite Omnipresent God in whose mind the universe is conceived and firmly held. It is written, “We all live, move, and have our being within God. When balance and learning reach a critical mass, the personality achieves the merger of God, and sees itself as neither male nor female, but as one.

Most accept as truth that our life and where we go in life or what we achieve is controlled by our mind or thoughts. And again most accept as truth that we as human beings all have a soul that will live on eternally. If we must look deep within our selves and we would find or realize that it is our soul that really governs this process of life. As we look into the internal side of life we will see that the three internal aspects (Mind, Spirit, Emotions) all reside in our soul. We must look at the process that gives us victory, sets our attitudes, creates power within us, overcome trials and obstacles, and allows us to receive success and rise to greatness in our lives. We are beings that are molded by four things: the Spirit, the Mind, the Emotions and our Physical reality or experiences. The first three of these are internal aspects of our being and the last is just a manifestation or a mirror image of the first three. These internal aspects are the things we should reflect on, for it is these aspects that mold our success, and the degree of greatness that we rise to in our lives.


We are programmed in the ways we think from the day we were conceived and our thoughts draw our feelings or emotions out which gives us desire and drive or purpose to take action on our dreams or visions that are set in our souls before the world was created. All things were created for you to use, learn, grow, and enjoy so to live a full and fruitful life. We must understand that all we need to do is receive what it is that we truly want in life. We must come to the understanding that we create everything that we receive in our lives through our thoughts or creative thoughts. The things that we don't see in this world are far more influential than the things that we can see. Problems are our opportunities to learn and to move into the next position we are destine to be. The ability for movement in life or opportunity is only created when we are pressed with opposition. This gives us the option to learn, advance or freeze and be complacent in where we are at.

So many are held back or side tracked on the things in life that only pull the life out of you. We are an intelligent organism constantly re-creating itself in response to stimuli. Some of these stimuli are innovative and sought-after knowledge acquired through programming, training, and modeling and some are destructive and dysfunctional and bring death. From when we were born we have been subjected to this process of being programmed. These programmed stimuli we categorize into two things doing habits and not doing habits. This programming brings our thoughts into our minds which create feelings or emotions that govern our actions or responses which in turn give us our personal results. Three of these are internal and the fourth is the manifestation of our internal aspects that I have just described. So few people look at the internal aspects of man and only focus on the fruits or the physical manifestations. But the greatest things in this universe are the things that are unseen not the things that are seen. These attributes are a key element in the quest for the possibilities in I-Chuan and should be the focus of our life: Fire = purity of mind and body (desire, passion, and perseverance), Truth = a light on your path (purpose, vision, and dreams), Love = a heart towards others (compassion, thanksgiving, and gratitude), and Spirit = wisdom to be led by the power of the Spirit (foresight, wisdom, and will). The physical manifestations that we observe are but only a glimpse into what is possible in this world and our life. We must live for all these things and this will bring faith and belief that you will do what they say is impossible. Coming back to the process that we create our life through our programming, training, and modeling again gives us a glimpse of the unseen controlling the seen. So, from this we can understand that the focus is not on the physical manifestations but the internal process that without fail create that manifestation.
