The Seven Spiritual Laws of Life

I will put the LAW OF PURE POTENTIALITY into effect by making a commitment to take the
following steps:
  • I will get in touch with the field of pure potentiality by taking time each day to be silent, to
    just Be. I will also sit alone in silent meditation at least twice a day for approximately thirty
    minutes in the morning and thirty minutes in the evening.
  • I will take time each day to commune with nature and to silently witness the intelligence
    within every living thing. In the ecstasy of my own silence, and by communing with
    nature, I will enjoy the life throb of ages, the field of pure potentiality and unbounded
    creativity.
  • I will practice non-judgement. I will begin my day with the statement, "Today, I shall judge
    nothing that occurs," and throughout the day I will remind myself not to judge.

I will put the
LAW OF GIVING into effect by making a commitment to take the following steps:
  • Wherever I go, and whomever I encounter, I will bring a gift. The gift may be a
    compliment, a flower, or a prayer. Today, I will give something to everyone I come into
    contact with, and so I will begin the process of circulating joy, wealth, and affluence in my
    life and in the lives of others.
  • Today I will gratefully receive all the gifts of nature. I will also be open to receiving from
    others, whether it be in the form of a material gift, money, a compliment, or a prayer.
  • I will make a commitment to keep wealth circulating in my life by giving and receiving
    life's most precious gifts: the gifts of caring, affection, appreciation, and love. Each time I
    meet someone, I will silently wish them happiness, joy, and laughter.

I will put the
LAW OF KARMA into effect by making a commitment to take the following steps:
  • Today I will witness the choices I make in each moment. And in the mere witnessing of
    these choices, I will bring them to my conscious awareness. I will know that the best way
    to prepare for any moment in the future is to be fully conscious in the present.
  • Whenever I make a choice, I will ask myself two questions: "What are the consequences
    of this choice that I'm making?" and "Will this choice bring fulfillment and happiness to me
    and also to those who are affected by this choice?"
  • I will then ask my heart for guidance and be guided by its message of comfort or
    discomfort. If the choice feels comfortable, I will plunge ahead with abandon. If the choice
    feels uncomfortable, I will pause and see the consequences of my action with my inner
    vision. This guidance will enable me to make spontaneously correct choices for myself and
    for all those around me.

I will put the
LAW OF LEAST EFFORT into effect by making a commitment to take the
following steps:
  • I will practice Acceptance. Today, I will accept people, situations, circumstances, and
    events as they occur. I will know that this moment is as it should be, because the whole
    universe is as it should be. I will not struggle against this moment. My acceptance is total
    and complete. I accept things as they are this moment, not as I wish they were.
  • Having accepted things as they are, I will take Responsibility for my situation and for all
    those events I see as problems. I know that taking responsibility means not blaming anyone
    or anything for my situation (and this includes myself.) I also know that every problem is
    an opportunity in disguise, and this alertness to opportunities in disguise, and this alertness
    to opportunities allows me to take this moment and transform it into a greater benefit.
  • Today my awareness will remain established in Defenselessness. I will relinquish the need
    to defend my point of view. I will feel no need to convince or persuade others to accept
    my point of view. I will remain open to all points of view and not be rigidly attached to
    anyone of them.  

I will put the
LAW OF INTENTION AND DESIRE into effect by making a commitment to take
the following steps:
  • I will make a list of all my desires. I will carry this list with me wherever I go. I will look at
    this list before I go into my silence and meditation. I will look at it before I go to sleep at
    night. I will look at it when I wake up in the morning.
  • I will release this list of my desires and surrender it to the womb of creation, trusting that
    when things don't seem to go my way, there is a reason, and that the cosmic plan has
    designs for me much grander than even those that I have conceived.
  • I will remind myself to practice present-moment awareness in all my actions. I will refuse
    to allow obstacles to consume and dissipate the quality of my attention in the present
    moment. I will accept the present as it is, and manifest the future through my deepest,
    most cherished intentions and desires.

I will put the
LAW OF DETACHMENT into effect by making a commitment to take the
following steps:
  • Today I will commit myself to detachment. I will allow myself and those around me the
    freedom to be as they are. I will not rigidly impose my idea of how things should be. I will
    not force solutions on problems, thereby creating new problems. I will participate in
    everything with detached involvement.
  • Today I will factor in uncertainty as an essential ingredient of my experience. In my
    willingness to accept uncertainty, solutions will spontaneously emerge out of the problems,
    out of the confusion, disorder, and chaos. The more uncertain things seem to be, the more
    secure I will feel, because uncertainty is my path to freedom. Through the wisdom of
    uncertainty, I will find my security.
  • I will step into the field of all possibilities and anticipate the excitement that can occur when
    I remain open to an infinity of choices. When I step into the field of all possibilities, I will
    experience all the fun, adventure, magic, and mystery of life.

I will put the
LAW OF DHARMA into effect by making a commitment to take the following
steps:
  • Today I will lovingly nurture the god or goddess in embryo that lies deep within my soul. I
    will pay attention to the spirit within me that animates both my body and my mind. I will
    awaken myself to this deep stillness within my heart. I will carry the consciousness of
    timeless, eternal Being in the midst of time-bound experience.
  • I will make a list of my unique talents. Then I will list all the things that I love to do while
    expressing my unique talents. When I express my unique talents and use them in the
    service of humanity, I lose track of time and create abundance in my life as well as in the
    lives of others.
  • I will ask myself daily, "How can I serve?" and "How can I help?" The answers to these
    questions will allow me to help and serve my fellow human beings with love.
