The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success reading note
Summary
=========
The source of all creation is divinity (or spirit) - the observer
The process of creation is divity in motion (or the mind) - observing process
The object of creation is the physical universe (including the physical body) - the observed
7 laws:
1) pure potentiality - you are your spirit and soul therefore has no boundary
2) giving and receiving - the more you give the more you get
3) karma or cause and effect - make choices and follow your heart
4) least effort - everything is a destiny so take it as it should be (as entropy in physics?)
5) intention and desire - focus with unshakable serenity
6) detachment - detached from outcome with uncertainty and all possibilities and enjoy all the excitements that comes along with it
7) dharma or purpose in life - seek your higher self and use your unique talents to serve the humanity
Pure Potentiality (your true self, spirit or soul)
===================
The pure consciousness, the spirit, the soul, your true Self.
"self-referral" vs "object referral": in self-referralb, the internal reference is our own spirit. In object-referral, your internal reference point is your ego. It is your social mask; it is the roleyou are playing. It wants to control, and it is sustained by power, because it lives in fear. Your true Self is unfearful of any challenge, it feels beneath no one, and it is also humble and feels superior to no one, because it recoginzes that everyone else is the same Self, the same spirit in different disguises.
How to apply
-------------
-Sit alone in silent meditation for 30 minutes in the morning and evening each day.
-Take time each day to commune with nature: sit silently and watch a sunset, listen to ocean or a stream or smellthe flower...
-Practice non-judgement
Giving and Receiving
======================
Giving engeners receiving; Receiving engenders giving. The intention should be to create happiness for the giver and receiver. The return is directly proportional to the giving when it is unconditional and from the heart. The frame of mind has to be one in which you feel joy in the very act of giving.
How to apply:
--------------
1) Wherever I go, and whoever I encounter, always bring them a gift. It could be compliment, a flower, or a prayer.
2) Receive: gratefully receive all the gifts that life has to offer me: sunlight, sund of birds singing, spring showers. Also be open to receiving from others.
3) Circulate caring, affection, appreciation, and love.
Karma or Cause and Effect
===========================
Every action generates a force of energy that returns to us in like kind. When we choose actions that bring happiness and success to others, the fruit of our karma is happiness and success. The best way to understand and maximize the use of karma law is to become consciously aware of the choices we make in every moment.
Most of us, as a result of conditoning, have repetitious and predicatble response to the stimuli in our environment. If we step back for a moment and witness the choices we are making, then we take from the unconscioucs realm into the conscious realm. When we make choices, we ask what are the consequences of the choice and does it bring happiness to me and around me. There is also spontaneous right action.
3 things you can do with your past karma:
-pay the karma debts
-transmute and tranform your karma into more desirable experience: what can I learn from the experience as I pay the karma debt
-transend it: transend karma is to become independent of it. It is like washing your clothes in a stream of water.
How to apply
--------------
1) witness the choices you make at each moment. The best way to prepare for the future is to be fully conscious at the present.
2) when making choices ask what are the consequences of this choice and what it bring to me and the people affected by the choice
3) ask the heart for guidance. If the choice feels uncomfortable, you will pause and see the consequences of your action with your inner vision.
Least Effort (Everything is a destiny)
===============
Nature's intelligence functios with effortless ease... with carefreeness, harmony, and love. When we harness the forces of harmony, joy,and love, we create success and good fortune with effortless ease.
There are 3 components: acceptance, responsibility, and defenselessness
How to apply
--------------
1) practice Acceptance. Accept everything as it should be. This moment is as it should be,because the wholeuniverse is as it should be. Dont struggle against the whole universe by struggling against this moment.
2) take Responsibility - dont blame andyone or anything for my situation including myself. Every problem is an opportunity in disguise.
3) my awareness will remain established in Defenselessness. I will relinquish the need to defend my point of view. I will remain open to all points of view and not be rigidly attached to any one of them.
Intention and Desire
======================
Intention and desire in the field of pure potentiality have infinite organizing power. The larger quantum filed - the universe - is your extended body. Attention energizes and intention transforms. Intention is for the future, attention is in the present.
If you have life-centered, present-moment awareness, then imaginary obstacles disintegrate and disappear. The remaining 5-10% perceived obstacles can be transmuted into opportunities through one-pointed intention. One-pointed intntion means to holding your attention to the intended outcome with such unbending purpose that ou refuse to allow obstacles to consume and dissipate the focused quality of your attention. You are able to maintain an uhshakable serenity while being conmmitted to your goal withinense passion.
Follow the 5 steps to fulfilling our desires:
1) Slip into the gap which is the silent space bwtween thoughts 2) Established in that state of Being, release your intentions and desires 3) Remain in the state of self-referral. 4) Relinquish your attachment to the outcome 5) Let the universe handle the detail.

Detachment
=============

Anything you wnat can be acquired throught detachment, because detachment is based on the unquestioning belief in the power of your true Sefl. On the other hand, attachment is based on fear and insecurity.
