The 12 Laws of the Universe
Learning the 12 laws of the Universe, of energy, can help you gain greater understanding of how to align and co-create with the higher intelligence of nature and energy.
Law of Divine Oneness
The law of divine oneness is the basic principle that energy in the Universe is connected as one.
To help us feel this law, we can notice the feeling we feel when we interact with something. Whether it is admiring the majestic beauty of an immense landscape in nature, or witnessing another’s suffering, or spending moments with someone you love, the energy that we exchange—that we feel through emotions—is testament to the inherent inter-connectedness we have with all things in life. We can control ourselves to be selective about what we feel and with what, but in an unconstrained nature, we can feel and exchange energy with all beings. This is what it means to be one.
Law of Vibration
The law of vibration is the principle that energy is in constant motion and vibrates at a frequency.
To help us feel this law, we can notice the feeling we feel when we interact with something we perceive as loving and joyful, and when we interact with something we perceive as hateful or even lifeless. This diversity of energetic vibrations can be felt in the range of emotions and sensations of various experiences and exchanges. The feelings we feel are simply the effects of vibrational energy, interacting with our own vibration.
Law of Correspondence
The law of correspondence is the principle that energy operates in patterns and sequences. Energy corresponds across cycles and scale. From large scale spiral galaxies to the Fibonacci sequence found in the details of the natural world on Earth, we can observe repeating patterns and sequences that speak to the templates in which life is created and evolved. On a personal level, we can gain awareness that what we create in our life, corresponds to what we create within our selves. “As above, so below.”
To help us feel this law, we can notice the reoccurring feelings we feel as we move through the various cycles life. An example much closer to our direct experience can be seen in the seasons of our planet. From spring to summer to fall to winter and back to spring, we can observe the commonalities in our feelings and behaviors as it corresponds to the seasons. When we are in summer, we unconsciously expand outwards into our environment and yearn to enjoy the abundance of life. When we are in winter, we unconsciously retreat more into ourselves and yearn to hibernate inside. These cycles of the seasons unconsciously inform our feelings and behavior, helping us to shape our own seasons of self and development.
Law of Attraction
The law of attraction is the principle that like energy attracts like energy. Naturally, energy seeks to align with energy that moves at a similar vibration or frequency, to create coherence and amass greater expression of energy.
To help us feel this law, we can notice how we feel when we are in environments that are aligned or unaligned, relationships that are aligned or unaligned, or even jobs that are aligned or unaligned. We may not necessarily understand if something or someone is unaligned, but we will be able to feel it. We may try to control how we think we should feel according to pre-conceived expectations, but we will always notice when something feels ‘off.’ This feeling of ‘off’ corresponds to the deeper knowing when something is unaligned as it violates the inherent need for like energy to attract like energy.
Law of Inspired Action
The law of inspired action is the principle that all outcomes require the energy or action to bring it into creation. True inspired action is generated by the energy of desire, deep within an individual. It is not thought of in the mind, it is a natural and energetic phenomena that is sparked within a person and sensed through feeling.
To help us feel this law, we can notice how we feel when we have a burning, undeniable desire deep within us to do something. One may find themselves doing something even when it doesn’t make sense, but deep down are naturally motivated to create it. That desire needs to be fed energy within the self to generate the ‘inspired actions’ to bring it into reality.
Law of Perpetual Transmutation of Energy
The law of perpetual transmutation of energy is the principle that all energy is always transmuting, always recycling. Energy never dies, it simply transforms into something else.
This corresponds to the First Law of Thermodynamics in science.
The concept of reincarnation speaks to this phenomena of energy, that our soul never dies and is forever transmuting into different forms. However to ground this in everyday life, we can notice at a micro-level how forms—from our bodies to trees—are also constantly going through a regenerative cycle. The cells in our body are constantly dying and regenerating anew. We can see this on the surface as our skin cells and hairs are constantly dying, shedding, and regenerating with new ones in its place. We see this in trees and flowers as well, as both move through its cycles of shedding leaves or petals, only to be reborn in the next cycle. We can even feel this internally and emotionally as we move through our own cycles of life. We go through different phases of self, from childhood to teen years to young adulthood to middle age to elder years. We transform through the cycles of life, encountering various mini-death experiences that force our reincarnation of self. If we reflect back on our various phases of life, we can feel the changes we have undergone and the ways our energy continues to transmute, if we allow it.
Law of Cause and Effect
The law of cause and effect is the principle that every action has a reaction. Energy, as it is all inter-connected, will always have an effect on the energy around it and the energy network as a whole. Throw a pebble into a pond and you will notice a simple example of this law, whereby the action of the pebble hitting the water causes waves to ripple out. Every action, whether conscious or not, has a larger effect.
To help us feel this law, we can notice how we feel when we have a loving and cheerful exchange with another stranger. Our actions to participate and exchange that frequency of energy may leave us feeling uplifted and happy. The effects will remain and we will likely carry on that energy to others throughout our day. And perhaps through those uplifting exchanges, others will carry on that energy to others throughout their day, and onwards. Every action has a reaction. Every reaction spurs more action. We may not be aware of it ongoing effects beyond what we see, but we can be mindful of its larger potential. The chain of cause and effect has no beginning and no end.
Law of Compensation
The law of compensation is the principle that you receive what you put out. It is similar to the law of attraction.
Traditional farming is a perfect example of this principle. Farmer(s), through repeated action aligned with the seasons of nature, nurtured the growth of plants from seed to fruition. Again and again as cycles, the work put into the harvest of sustenance fueled the growth of humanity. Now with conventional mass-produced farming we have found a way to reduce the human labor or work at a large scale. What has resulted is dramatically less nutrient-dense food, depleted Earth, and unbalanced ecosystems. “You reap what you sow.” High quality outputs must be a result of high quality inputs. The greater the quality of energy or work, the greater the quality of results.
We can ground this principle in our everyday life by noticing what we choose to put our energy into, repeatedly. What are we investing in? What do we reap from these repeated actions?
Law of Relativity
The law of relativity is the principle that nothing in life is good or bad, it just is. It’s all in how we perceive things relative to another.
All illusions of growth or progress are founded in its relativity to what came before it. All judgements or perceptions are founded in its relativity to what we think we already know. In our everyday life, we can feel this law in the way we tend to compare to something else to determine our perception of what is good or bad. You can notice how you do this as you move through your days and make decisions.
Law of Polarity
The law of polarity is a principle that identifies the polar energies in life, and its inherent dual nature. Examples of polar energies include: yin and yang, feminine and masculine, light and dark, cold and hot, love and evil, etc.
The principles speaks to humanity’s identification of opposites of energy, but should be interpreted as rather energy exists on a spectrum. Our perception of life as dualistic is manifested because our belief system is dualistic, opting to see the world as black and white when it is shades of gray. Notice how you carry this belief system within yourself and how it colors your perspective of the world?
Law of Perpetual Motion
The law of perpetual motion is the principle that energy and everything in life is constantly in movement. As energy is always vibrating, transmuting, and in motion, nothing in life remains the same.
Consider how you can apply this concept in your own perspective, choosing to see change as an inevitable and natural function of life. Whether you or conscious of it or not, your natural inclination as energy is to be in motion and transforming.
Law of Giving and Receiving
Law of Giving and Receiving —> Law of Energetic Exchange The law of giving and receiving is the principle that life is built on the exchange of energy. It describes a natural exchange between energies, to create energies, that fuels other energies.
For the sake of higher understanding, we will rename the law of giving and receiving to the law of energetic exchange. Giving and receiving implies static moments whereby one energy is giving, and another is receiving. In truth, energy in the Universe is in continuous exchange, without thought, expectation, or timeframe. Energetic exchange is a spontaneous, natural process, not isolated acts of occurrence. Consider how you can shift your perspective from ‘giving and receiving’ to energetic exchange, done with the intention of interaction.
