Taken from a book collaborated by myself, Sharon Coody and Michael Smith - The Twelve Profitable Laws of the Universe
While doing research for this book, there was a basic consensus of what the twelve universal laws are and then there are many optional lists. One writer we researched even wrote about the 12 Universal Laws and the 21 Sub Laws. No wonder people can be confused!!What about when you are trying to share and grow with another individual or group of people and you are working from the assumption that you are on the same wave length. I bet if you asked them, you would find out their list of Universal Laws are not the same as yours. Our objective was to simplify the concepts and to provide simple, practical ways to apply these concepts to make our lives what we want them to be. For each of the twelve laws, we have included specific questions, suggestions, and exercises to help you achieve YOUR goals, both spiritual and physical, with regard to the activities and situations in your life which are governed by that law.
The First Law: Law of Divine Oneness
DEFINITION
When we were in school…possibly in the 6th or 7th grade, we learned a bit about physical science. One of the lessons explained the structure of molecules (of which ALL in the physical world is comprised). We learned molecules are made of atoms. Later, the structure of atoms was defined and we learned there were even smaller particles (electrons, protons, neutrons), each with their own characteristics, but all a part of the atom. And the atoms are part of the molecules; and molecules make up EVERYTHING we know. By themselves, they are just a molecule. Together, they become a chair, a tree, a flower, a person…..EVERYTHING in our physical world.
Now, as you read about Divine Oneness, please keep this metaphor in mind.
Simply by virtue of BEING, we are part of a WHOLE. Some call this gestalt God; some call it SOURCE; some just recognize it as the whole or ALL that is. Whatever name we call this gestalt, it is the entirety of existence. Whether we (as soul, as ENERGY) are living in a physical body or are discarnate, we exist and are connected to a collective consciousness (in the same way atomic particles are connected to each other to form the entire atom).
The metaphysical understanding of this Oneness is split between a definition that includes all consciousness (all other souls….humanity) and an understanding that includes everything, all energies, without physical or energetic limitations. My understanding is that Humanity is a subset of ALL. Therefore, I define Divine Oneness from both perspectives.
As a part of the Oneness, we ARE universal energy. When we live in harmony with and connected consciously to other parts (souls) of this Oneness, we raise the energetic vibration of each part and of the whole. (Think about our metaphor. When atomic particles move toward another particle, energy shifts take place in accordance with the unique characteristics of the types of particles involved. The movement forward increases the vibrations….the energy…in predictable ways).Everything we do, every action we take, every thought we have affects the Whole. Yes, even our thoughts are energy….put out into the universe, and impacting the gestalt….the ALL. Because we are human and have forgotten how closely all are connected, we may recognize the impact on those in closer proximity. It is important to understand the chain reaction (again, the atomic metaphor) or, as many refer to the phenomenon, the ripple effect, with the energy we generate reaching far beyond ourselves by impacting others and being released through them far beyond themselves.
EFFECT
Because we are all connected, not only do we impact others (and they, us) we have access to this collective consciousness. By staying in a higher vibrational state, we can directly receive, or retrieve, thoughts, memories, projections, actions of all others….all parts of this collective consciousness…..all parts of the ONE.
By staying in this higher vibration, we help to raise the vibration of all humanity.Remember, our actions and thoughts are energy. So the higher vibration of the actions and thoughts, the higher the vibration with which we resonate. An example of this is LOVE being of higher vibration than FEAR. COMPASSION vibrates at a higher energy level than APATHY. CARING is a higher vibration than ANGER.By staying in this higher vibration, on the gestalt level, we feel more compassion, love, caring, and benevolence toward each other. By remembering ourselves as part of the ONE, and by then living in harmony, we BELONG in a way we cannot experience in any other way!
