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.
