Other universal laws and the law of attraction

There are a number of other universal laws that work in harmony with the law of attraction. I actually became aware of seven of these "other laws" (and there are quite a few more than seven!) back in the mid-90's when I purchased The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success by Deepak Chopra. While this little gem of a book does not directly address the law of attraction, it does discuss seven of the laws which do come into direct play with the law of attraction.

I remember that one of my first reactions to reading this book was "OMG I was never taught any of this in school or from my parents growing up. In fact most of this is completely the opposite of everything I was ever taught...especially the Law of Least Effort! I was always taught that life was hard and everything worth achieving meant sturggle and hard work, no pain no gain!" I had to keep rereading the book until I had the book nearly memorized. Unfortunately though, I found the book did not give too many practical ways to apply the laws, besides practicing meditation.

There is one process mentioned, and that was to create a list of all of your intention and desires. In the late winter of 1998 I wrote a list of all of things and situations I wished to create in my life. I tucked the list into the book and within a very short time some amazing things started happening. Since I was divorced and had no special man in my life at that time I wrote the list, one of things I put on the list was to meet a special man and to marry him! I met my future husband about three months after writing the list and we were married three months after that!

I introduced my new husband to The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success. My husband and I began to enjoy reading the spiritual laws to each other first thing in the morning, reading a law a day for each day of the week. We also began to meditate. We did this for quite a few years before I found out about the law of attraction. Although my husband had always been open to Deepak's teachings, when I told him about the Law of Attraction, he was very resistant! He said for quite a while "Things don't work that way!"

As I pointed out to him that the other spiritual laws work in harmony with the law of attraction, he began to be more open. I also realized that perhaps the reason the law of attraction wasn't working so well for me was because I needed to take other spiritual laws into consideration.

The Law of Detachment always comes comes in to play with the Law of Attraction. For example when asking for something, in order for it to be allowed into your experience you must detach from how the universe will arrange the details. As soon as you begin to try and figure out this thing will appear, you run into resistance and you will not be aligned with it. In order to get to the place of allowing, you must be completely detached from the hows. The hows are the job of the universe, not yours!!

Your job is to ask, then step out in faith OR expect to receive OR allow the universe to do it's part, and your job is then to receive.

Stepping out in faith, expecting to receive and allowing the universe to do it's job of arranging the details are all different ways of saying the same thing: practicing the Law of Detachment! The law of detachment comes into play between the asking and the receiving. The law of detachment is letting go!

In future blogs I will be discussing other universal laws that work in harmony with the law of attraction.
