The Universal Laws

[robertanthony]

After reading a number of Steve Pavlina's articles I noticed that 12 of The Universal Laws show up in his articles - either directly or indirectly.

They seem to show up everywhere.

The Universal Laws

The law of attraction is mentioned in these laws.

The secret is not a secret it's one universal law within a set of twelve.

That list is pretty silly, in my opinion. Far too many contradicting 'laws' to make any of the others plausible, I see many of the others as a simple rephrasing of other ones.

'Law of Divine Oneness' then 'Law of Polarity'? That is a divine contradiction. IMHO neither are correct because we do indeed experience polarity, but, we also experience oneness (meditation, joy, etc...). So for one to be universal would imply the other could not possibly exist. There are others on that list, but, this was the best example.

I also feel that stating any law as universal is pretty silly. I do indeed believe in the Abraham-Hicks material and use it, I also read Neville Goddard's work extensively - but, they are still the words 'of others' and are never entirely correct in relationship to the symbolic (and allegoric) connections my consciousness makes with the reality that is constantly moving forward through those connections.

Law of Attraction? I would prefer a different phrase, one less prone to use the word 'law', preferably a word that allowed the concept an expression that didn't end in a paradox.

That is my take on this stuff.

The 'Law of Divine Oneness' states that everything is connected. It doesn't state that everything is the same, so there's no contradiction with the 'Law of Polarity', which states that everything exists on a continuum.

I think the "laws" sound very nice, but they're built on a number of assumptions so are only of any use if you agree with them (which I don't). I do agree with some of the principles upon which they're based, such as action leading to results. They're beliefs, not laws.

But yes, these "laws" appear in different forms throughout all the spiritual/mystical/new-age/self-help texts that I've read. Including some of what Steve had written. That doesn't mean they're accurate, only popular.

Your points are valid, my response was probably more reactive than proactive and, as you say, these are really just beliefs and most likely do not deserve this expenditure of my energy unless I am invested in said beliefs.

If you actually read the book,the laws don't seem to contradict to each other.


Law of polarity is in fact the truth that everything has an opposite pole but in the same line of existence.

Take Warmth and Cold. Both are opposites on the scale of Temperature.

If you want to know more about some of the laws, you can lookup the kybalion.
