the 12 universal laWs
In a higher state of consciousness, our experience of the universe changes.
It now becomes like a giving, loving, unconditionally approving parent who wants us to have everything we want, and it is ours for the asking.
David R. Hawkins
We hear the word "the universe" a lot. What does it actually mean for you?
What's your understanding of this cosmic force? Of the creator of life? Of existence?
These are really important to explore for yourself because, if you're anything like me - there will be moments where faith is all you have to hang on to as you ride out some discomfort. Faith is what helps us surrender control and trust in what’s unfolding.
So how do we paint this picture for ourselves? How do you choose to see the universe?
What are these cosmic laws of “right” or “wrong”? How do you make sense of things not going the way you had intended?
So yes, this is massive in concept. And it can be overwhelming, it feels like chaos at times to us here on earth. But there are 12 universal laws that we can look to in order to structure something so limitless and loving. So just and so supportive. So intrinsic and unchanging.
I’ve listed below, the twelve laws of the universe. They’re a roadmap to living life with purpose and intent. These laws exist for everyone and we all have access to them. We just learn how to work with them. We experiment with the basic framework for cosmic and universal energy.
Remember that it’s ultimately about you and your connection to the universe.
The Law of Divine Oneness
This one’s the big one, the one that speaks to the interconnectedness of all things. What this law really speaks to is the fact that you are the universe and the universe is you. Meaning - we are all connected. All actions, thoughts, events - everything - is connected to everyone and everything else.
With this interconnectedness, this law also speaks to the the baseline that - what’s possible for one is possible for all. What’s possible for someone else is also possible for me. Everything you’re seeking outside of yourself is already within you. You wouldn’t want it if it wasn’t a part of your cosmic makeup.
The Law of Attraction / Magnetism
Many of us have heard about this one - it’s a big one in manifestation and co-creation. (It also speaks to your Venus!) And this is the fundamental principle of “like attracts like”. You’re a magnet, attracting through your energy and vibration. Are you an energetic match to what you’re calling in? And the universal truth is - you’re always attracting!
The Law of Cause and Effect / Karma
This law speaks to the universal principle of there always being an effect to your cause. Or a reaction to your action. There’s a ripple effect to everything you do in life - positive or negative! Good or bad - which is all subjective to you. What kind of energy are you putting out with your actions? Are you living in integrity and honesty with yourself and what you’re co-creating? Put out into the world what you’d want to receive.
The Law of Action
So while there are universal principles like the Law of Attraction, we are also responsible for taking action. However, contrary to so much of what we’ve been taught, we don’t have to take action in a traditional or tried and true way to co-create what we desire. We are required to take action, but the action must be aligned. (Look at your Mars!) From a place of inner alignment for you.
The Law of Transmutation
Many of us know that energy is constantly evolving and fluctuating, and as co-creators, we can transmute and alchemize energy into anything we want - we’re that powerful! Which is why purpose, intention and focus is so freaking important. If we remember that everything in the physical world is preceded by a thought that eventually manifests into physical reality - is that thought positive or negative? You choose where and how you direct your ability to change.
The Law of Vibration
Everything is energy and everything vibrates at a certain frequency. And this frequency within us, lies in our thoughts, beliefs, emotions, words, feelings, decision and attitudes. All of these affect and influence your vibration, your energetic field. And in order to bring what you desire or something new into your life, you must shift your vibration to be an energetic match to it.
The Law of Mirrors / Correspondences
I really view this one through shadow work, it showed me the insane and holographic nature of the universe! With this universal law, we see that external reality is just a reflection of your internal reality. It’s an empowering concept to realize that everything in your world is based on a root cause within yourself. The universe is always providing mirrors.
The Law of Compensation
The first thing many of us think of with the word “compensation” is payment or exchange. And this law speaks to to a universal way of compensating our efforts. I think something important to remember with this law is that the universe is the source of money, not people. When we contribute in some way to our desires/goals, our efforts will come back to us in some form at some point in time.
The Law of Relativity
If everything is inherently neutral (including the universe), then this law speaks to the meaning that we assign anything that takes place in our lives. Perspective and perception is huge in recognizing the neutrality of everything. Of course as humans, we’re inclined to compare things in our world, but there’s always a different perspective to everything. Everything only means what you make it mean. How do you choose to see your lessons?
The Law of Balance (Masculine / Feminine)
After reviewing the Law of Attraction and Law of Action, this law speaks to balance of the masculine and feminine energies. When we co-create, we do in both - action and surrender - at the same time. Keep in mind that hard work, persistence and will power all the time isn’t sustainable. And just staying in surrender, patience and flow can’t bring success. When we do an intuitive, inspired and aligned combination of both, we create real life magic.
The Law of Polarity / Contrast
You may have heard about this concept from the Abraham teachings (Esther & Jerry Hicks), about how polarity creates contrast. Polarity creates clarity by reminding us that when we get what we don’t want, we get clearer on what we do want. And in recognizing the relationship between the wanted and unwanted, we open ourselves to greater levels of what we want by appreciating the contrast. Appreciate both success and failure. Gain and loss. Everything has an opposite.
The Law of Patterns / Rhythm
In the Law of Patterns, we’re able to observe the cycles and patterns of the universe and how each and every one of us has our own set of cycles and patterns. (Astrology!) Change is inevitable, and like the seasons and cycles of nature, we are continuously moving in and out of various phases of life. Consider the constant state of movement throughout the day, every hour, every month and every year. There’s beauty in every phase and every season of life. Know that things will always sway and cycle back.
**Side note, you were born with a timeline that is unique to you. Trust in your rhythm and timeline!
And those are the 12 Laws of the Universe!
Remember that you always have free will, no matter how you use these laws or work with your birth chart and timeline. They’re a wonderful way to begin to shift your understanding of just how much is possible for you.
