Chapter 2   Universal Law

I ask you now to just relax for a moment. Take a few deep breaths and try to take your thoughts away from your everyday reality. We're about to embark on a journey with our imagination. Since imagination will play a vital part in what is to follow, let's start to use it right now. So put aside for a while all the little things that would normally preoccupy your day to day life. Take your thoughts a little outside yourself.

Imagine it is a beautifully clear evening. A myriad of stars twinkles overhead. Look up into the night sky and ponder the meaning of the vast Universe you see spread out in all its glory before you. What do you feel? Well I think all of us have at some time or other experienced a feeling of awe at the immensity of the cosmos that we live in.

Since the beginning of time people have asked themselves questions such as, "What does it mean?", "How does it work?", "Where do we fit in the scheme of things?" I will not attempt to answer these questions since they are really beyond the scope of this little book.

What is important to understand though, is that whether we like to think so or not, 

The Universe does in fact operate according to very precise and exact laws

There is a Supreme Creative Intelligence behind all things

Yes it is indeed true that everything functions with a certain harmony and obeys natural laws that stagger our human senses. We may not always understand how the Universe works. Nevertheless it does obey Natural Laws and if you can just know and grasp this one point, then you are well on your way to achieving  mastery in your life and creating what you could only dream of before.

Now I know that not everybody is ready to accept this concept of Natural Laws. There are many in the world today who believe they're beyond all laws. All the best to them. But this is far  from the truth. I'll illustrate the point with an example.

Once again gaze up at the sky and look at the solar system. You know that the planet we live on is called Earth. It belongs to a Solar body comprising of nine planets. And all these planets revolve around a central star we call the Sun.

Think about it for a moment and try to imagine what it would be like if there were no laws that governed the motions of the planets. How would it be if every planet just moved randomly and haphazardly around irrespective of anything else? I think you'd agree that this would be a bit of a chaotic situation.

For a start you'd never be sure whether a new day would ever be seen again. There might be planets crashing into other planets and a major cosmic disaster might arise. We'd probably be very lucky to still be in existence over these billions of years.

Instead we sense there is a beautiful majesty in our planetary system. There is a perfect exactness in the motion of the planets. Universal Laws are in operation to ensure the continuous, harmonious operation of our Solar System so that it fulfils its Divine purpose. Again we may not understand these Laws or how they operate, but I think it is fairly obvious that such Laws must exist.

It can then be said that all life in space conforms to Natural Law. Now our planet Earth is simply a part of life in space. Therefore it stands to reason that life on Earth must obey certain Natural Laws as well. And the continued survival of life on Earth depends directly on how closely it follows the Natural Laws that govern it.

Take as another example the case of a plant or a flower. One law is that the plant requires a certain amount of water for its survival. When it gets adequate water as well as its other needs, it will survive and fulfil its natural destiny. 

But what happens if the plant is deprived of water? It will simply die. In other words, the plant will perish if the Laws which direct its growth are not strictly adhered to.

Let's consider a final example. Say we want to grow a fruit tree. What must we do to ensure that the tree will produce an abundance of juicy, high quality fruit? Well, we'd have to know the requirements of our tree. 

The things to be considered would perhaps be soil type, growing location, amount of water, correct nutrients, love and care etc. And if we supply all the necessary requirements of the tree then we'd be sure of plenty of good fruit.

On the other hand say we were ignorant of the tree's needs. We planted it in the wrong location,  gave it inferior fertilizer and generally neglected it. Well our final fruit would most likely be of poor quality, if the tree even managed to survive at all. 

The point then that I am making, is that in fact the tree needs specific requirements. It must obey Natural Laws and only by supplying all the necessary things in correct proportions are we ensured of good fruit. So if we desire the best fruit, we must first learn and know the Laws which govern the growth of the tree. And next we must put these Laws into action.

And now let us take human beings. Consider ourselves. Following the same logic, just as a tree is part of life on Earth, we too must be a part of the same life also. And just as all life in the Universe must obey certain laws for the fulfilment of its purpose, then we too, if we desire freedom, must learn and apply the natural Laws that will give us the ability to create what we desire.

We are somewhat complex beings. To explain all the laws that govern our entire existence would take lifetimes. As I'm only concerned here with presenting the Laws of Manifestation, I will not attempt to delve into the other Spiritual Laws. But remember the statement "as above so below". In other words everything in the Universe is in some way a reflection of everything else. 

If you can comprehend what is dealt with here, you are well on the way to understanding the higher laws. The points touched on here are a gateway to the higher wisdom. They are in fact relevant and very needed in all aspects of our life. Go steady then. Learn well. Your life is starting to transform.
