0:00They're ancient principles, sometimes
0:01called the sacred laws of the universe,
0:03that describe how reality works. They've
0:05been passed down through spiritual and
0:07esoteric traditions for thousands of
0:09years, but most of us were never taught
0:10them in school. And when you understand
0:12them, you start to see your life
0:14differently. You see why certain
0:15patterns keep repeating. You see why
0:17your inner state matters, [music] and
0:19why even the circumstances that seem
0:21permanent can change. And more than
0:23that, you can begin to work with these
0:25laws. You can become more intentional
0:27about your thoughts, your emotions, and
0:28your actions, and start to consciously
0:30shape the reality you're living. In this
0:32episode, I'm going to explain all 12
0:33laws in 16 minutes. And by the end,
0:36you'll have a new way to understand
0:38what's happening in your life, and a
0:39practical way to begin creating what
0:41happens next. [music]
0:42So, let's get into it.
0:47All right, guys. Let's start with the
0:48one law that connects them all. That is
0:50the law of divine oneness. So, the law
0:53of divine oneness is the idea that
0:55everything is connected, and that the
0:57entire material world is actually a
0:59projection and a reflection of one alive
1:03consciousness. You can sort of think of
1:04reality as a single superorganism. Some
1:07people may call it the one, or the all
1:10that is, or the universe, or God, or
1:11Allah. The law says that whatever your
1:13individual actions are, they affect the
1:15larger whole. And that each and every
1:17one of us is an individual expression of
1:20the one consciousness, but we're all
1:21part of the same whole. So, when you
1:23begin to understand that, it invites you
1:25to start questioning and evaluating your
1:27behavior towards others, because
1:29effectively, your behavior towards
1:30others is the way you treat yourself.
1:33So, when you do something loving for
1:34someone else, you're actually doing
1:35something loving for yourself. When you
1:37give to someone else, you're actually
1:38giving to yourself. And when you do harm
1:41to someone else, you're harming
1:42yourself. So, the law of divine oneness
1:45invites us to consider, how are we
1:46treating other people? Perhaps its
1:48simplest expression is in the golden
1:50rule, do unto others as you would have
1:52them do unto you. Number two is the law
1:54of vibration. So, the law of vibration
1:56articulates that everything is energy,
1:58and that's true. As we examine the
2:00physical world more and more closely,
2:02and we start looking from what appears
2:04to be solids to molecules to atoms to
2:06electrons, and then deeper still, what
2:08we find is a kind of non-physicality.
2:10It's an energy or a potential or a
2:12frequency or a vibration that sits at
2:14the bottom of it all. So, why is this
2:16important? Because when we understand
2:18that everything has a frequency, and
2:20that our thoughts and emotions also have
2:21a frequency, we can begin to understand
2:24that our thoughts and emotions shape and
2:25architect our reality. It also invites
2:27us to consider what is my frequency.
2:30Your frequency is best understood as
2:32your consistent habit of thought and
2:33habit of emotion. So, what emotional
2:35state do you generally inhabit? Are you
2:37a happy person? Are you a worried
2:39person? Do you lean towards being an
2:41angry person? David Hawkins, one of the
2:43great spiritual teachers of the 20th
2:45century, arranged these frequencies on a
2:47scale that he wrote about in his book
2:48Power versus Force, and part of the
2:50evolution of your consciousness is your
2:52ability to begin inhabiting higher and
2:54higher emotional states. And as you do
2:56that, you raise your vibration, and as
2:58you raise your vibration, you create a
3:00more productive reality. And that takes
3:02us to law number three, the law of
3:04attraction. So, law of attraction was
3:06made really popular by the book, and
3:08later the movie, The Secret. But this is
3:11an ancient esoteric principle that's
3:12been around for thousands of years. And
3:14the law of attraction builds off the law
3:16of vibration. So, it says that whatever
3:19frequency you're operating from, you
3:21will attract circumstances and
3:23situations that match that frequency.
3:25So, if you're consistently living in
3:26gratitude and prosperity and abundance,
3:29through the law of attraction, you'll
3:30create circumstances and situations that
3:33reflect that gratitude and abundance
3:34back to you. If you're consistently
3:36living in a frequency of, say,
3:37frustration, you'll manufacture and
3:40organize circumstances that will
3:42frustrate you. So, law of attraction
3:44says that what you consistently put out
3:46there, you'll get back. What you focus
3:48on or bring your attention to, you'll
3:49create more of. And the good news is is
3:52that if you shift your focus, you shift
3:54your perception and as you shift your
3:56perception, you shift how you feel and
3:58as you shift how you feel, you can
3:59literally transform your reality.
4:02Law number four is the law of
4:03correspondence. The law of
4:05correspondence is best described by the
4:07ancient Hermetic principle as above, so
4:10below. And so it builds on the law of
4:12attraction and it says that your
4:13external reality is a mirror of your
4:15internal state or your internal
4:17consciousness. So this has also been
4:19called the mirror principle and you can
4:21begin to know what you believe by
4:23looking at what you've crystallized or
4:25manifested across different areas of
4:27your life from your business to your
4:29career to your relationships to your
4:30health, what patterns do you see? And
4:33what might those patterns be reflecting
4:35back to you about what's happening
4:36inside of you? So the law of
4:38correspondence says that if you want to
4:40transform your external reality, you
4:41have to shift something inside. And this
4:43is very much in alignment with Jesus'
4:45teaching, be not conformed to this world
4:47but be transformed by the renewing of
4:49your mind. So as you shift something
4:51internally, life begins to organize
4:53externally to match that internal shift.
4:56This is the law of correspondence.
4:59Number five is the law of inspired
5:00action. So the law of inspired action is
5:02important because a lot of people who
5:05get into personal growth or metaphysics
5:07or law of attraction mistakenly think
5:09that they can just sit on their sofa
5:10eating cheesy poofs and watching Netflix
5:12and manifest a million dollars into
5:13their bank account and that's not the
5:15way that it works. So this is why
5:18scripture says faith without works is
5:21dead and the idea is that you have to
5:24believe and intend
5:26and you have to take action. Now, I
5:28don't want you to confuse that with
5:29having to hustle and grind your way to
5:31success, but the invitation is to
5:33recognize that action is required to
5:35allow creation to work through us. So we
5:38have the capacity to attract thoughts
5:40and ideas, but ultimately, we are the
5:42vehicle through which those ideas become
5:44manifest in reality and they become
5:47manifest through the consistent daily
5:49actions that we take. And when we're
5:51aligned, we can take action from an
5:53inspired place. And from there, we're
5:55even more likely to produce
5:56extraordinary results. But it is
5:57essential to act on opportunities, to
6:00follow through on inspiration, and to do
6:02something meaningful with the ideas that
6:04we receive.
6:06Law number six is the law of perpetual
6:08transmutation of energy. Now, I know
6:10that sounds like a word salad, but the
6:12law of perpetual transmutation of energy
6:15says that energy is always transforming
6:18and changing shape. So, this is helpful
6:20to understand because
6:22we all experience circumstances that we
6:25would view as problems. But when we
6:28realize that everything is energy and
6:29energy is always changing form, we can
6:31also realize something really important,
6:33which is the problems that show up in
6:35our lives are problems that come to
6:37pass, not to stay. So, I want you to
6:40just look back on your own life.
6:43The truth is that every challenge you've
6:45ever experienced has transformed at some
6:47point in time into something that we
6:49would call a solution. And a lot of
6:51times that happened without nearly as
6:53much involvement from you as you thought
6:54it would require. So, this understanding
6:56invites us to navigate through life
6:59unattached to the material world exactly
7:02as it's showing up in the present moment
7:03because change is a part of its nature.
7:06And it also invites us to be unattached
7:08to the things that we have or enjoy or
7:10desire because those things are going to
7:12change, too.
7:14The Buddha taught that much comes from
7:15attachment, from wanting a fixed reality
7:18when reality is not intended to be
7:19fixed. And the law of perpetual
7:21transmutation invites us into the
7:23practice of non-attachment, knowing that
7:25life is always changing form. Law number
7:28seven is the law of cause and effect,
7:29also known as the law of karma. So,
7:32every action, including every thought
7:34that we think, has a consequence.
7:36And what you do creates effects, whether
7:39immediately or over time. And this law
7:41encourages us to take personal
7:43responsibility, to become conscious of
7:45our intentions, and to recognize that
7:47whatever deposits we make into reality,
7:49we will receive as withdrawals later on.
7:52So, you can't do harm in the world
7:53without that harm coming back to you.
7:55And you can't do good in the world
7:57without that good coming back to you.
7:58It's also a reminder when we witness
8:00other people's actions, and we worry
8:03that they're getting away with
8:04something. You know, we live in a world
8:06where there can appear to be tremendous
8:07corruption and wrongdoing, but the law
8:09of cause and effect allows us to trust
8:11that we don't have to personally
8:13intervene to make every wrong right or
8:15make the whole world just. The law of
8:18cause and effect, or the law of karma,
8:20will handle that.
8:22Our responsibility is to pay attention
8:24to the intentions and actions we are
8:25putting into the world. Law number eight
8:28is the law of compensation. The law of
8:30compensation says that what you
8:32contribute will return to you in some
8:34form. And it speaks to the scriptural
8:36idea that you reap what you sow. And
8:38oftentimes, we expect to get something
8:41directly in return for something that we
8:43do. And when we don't receive it, we
8:45become upset. Uh, you know, I did this
8:48for you, so therefore you owe me this
8:49thing.
8:50But the law of compensation is actually
8:52non-linear. So, you can do good for one
8:55person, and the good may not come back
8:56from that person. It may come back, and
8:58it will come back from an entirely
9:00different source. And that's what makes
9:02this such a beautiful principle because
9:03it allows us to give without holding
9:06back and without expectation. So, we
9:09don't have to keep score with the person
9:10in front of us. We can trust that
9:12through the law of compensation, what
9:14we've given will at some point return to
9:16us. And usually as a multiple of what we
9:19gave, though we may not know where or
9:21when it will arrive. Law number nine is
9:24the law of relativity.
9:25The law of relativity says that our
9:27experiences gain meaning through
9:29comparison and perspective. So, what
9:33looks good or bad can look very
9:35different depending on the perspective
9:36from which you view it. And this reminds
9:38me of the parable of the wise farmer and
9:39the ignorant neighbor. So a series of
9:41things happens to the farmer and the
9:43neighbor keeps judging each event as
9:44either good or bad, but the wise
9:46farmer's response is always the same.
9:48Essentially, who knows what's good or
9:50bad. So something happens and we
9:53immediately decide this is terrible. And
9:55then more of the story unfolds and what
9:57we called terrible becomes the path to
9:59something we're grateful for. So we need
10:02the dark in order to understand the
10:04light. experiences we don't desire in
10:07order to recognize and appreciate the
10:08ones that we do. And when we realize
10:11that our judgments depend on
10:12perspective, we may find a place of
10:14non-judgment and non-criticism. Like we
10:16can acknowledge what we're experiencing
10:18while remembering that there may be
10:20multiple ways to view it and that we may
10:22not yet see the whole picture.
10:24Law number 10 is the law of polarity. So
10:26law of polarity is related to the law of
10:28relativity. It speaks to the positive
10:31and the negative, the hot and the cold,
10:33the light and the dark. The law says
10:35that these are different degrees of the
10:37same thing. So hot and cold for example
10:40are different degrees of temperature. We
10:42can also think about love and hate as
10:44occupying opposite extremes of the same
10:47spectrum. What the law of polarity
10:49affords us is a broader perspective
10:51because instead of immediately
10:52condemning one pole and clinging to the
10:55other, we can recognize that opposites
10:57are part of a whole. So contrast is part
11:00of what allows us to have a full
11:01experience of reality. And this
11:03understanding can help us live with less
11:05judgment and criticism and in a more
11:07frequent state of forgiveness. That
11:09doesn't mean we have to prefer every
11:10experience that we have. It means we can
11:13recognize that the opposites we
11:14encounter are part of the larger whole.
11:17Law number 11 is the law of rhythm.
11:20The law of rhythm helps us understand
11:22that life moves through cycles and that
11:24those cycles are normal. Growth and
11:26decline, activity and rest, gains and
11:29losses. It's related to the law of
11:32perpetual transmutation of energy, but
11:33it gives us a specific way to understand
11:36change. Nothing remains at one extreme
11:39indefinitely. And I don't know about
11:41you, but this is a really helpful
11:42reminder. It's helpful when you're in a
11:44circumstance that you don't like. Maybe
11:47your business is in a contraction, maybe
11:49you're in a season of financial
11:50insecurity, maybe you're experiencing
11:52chronic pain, but the law of rhythm
11:54reminds us that this too shall pass. We
11:57live in seasons. Sometimes it's a season
12:00of harvest, sometimes it's a season of
12:02letting go of what no longer serves us.
12:04And when you understand that, you can
12:05experience the season that you're in
12:07from a place of less resistance and less
12:08attachment. You can still do what's
12:10yours to do, but you may also find peace
12:13and calm regardless of what's happening
12:15in your external reality knowing that
12:17the season will change. Law number 12 is
12:19the law of gender. So, the law of gender
12:22is traditionally described as masculine
12:23and feminine energies existing within
12:26creation. And I'm not necessarily
12:27talking about biological sex. I'm
12:29talking about qualities that exist
12:31within the whole of life. There's
12:33contraction and expansion. There's the
12:35structure required to live fully, and
12:37there's also the freedom and flexibility
12:40required to feel fully. And you can see
12:42this as you look at the natural world.
12:44Like we find masculine and feminine
12:46principles. We find things that govern
12:49nature. For example, spontaneity of a
12:52hurricane or a sunset or the smell of a
12:54flower, but then patterns and structures
12:57of how we see laws functioning in the
12:59natural world. So, we get to experience
13:02both. Both components are necessary for
13:04a full lived experience. Sometimes
13:06there's action, sometimes there's
13:08receptivity or rest, sometimes there's
13:11giving, sometimes there's receiving. And
13:14traditional society tends to
13:15compartmentalize these qualities as man
13:17and woman, but they express themselves
13:19universally as two complementary
13:21qualities required for the entire whole
13:24to function.
13:25So, those are the 12 laws. And when you
13:27hear them together, you begin to see how
13:29they relate. Like the law of divine
13:31oneness reminds you that you're
13:32connected to everything. Vibration and
13:34attraction ask you to become conscious
13:37of the thoughts and the emotions that
13:38you habitually live in. Correspondence
13:41asks what your outer world may be
13:43reflecting about your inner world.
13:45Inspired action reminds us that we are
13:47an instrument of creation, but we have
13:49to do the work. And when circumstances
13:51change, as they inevitably will,
13:53transmutation and rhythm invite us to
13:55meet that change without becoming
13:56attached to one fixed version of
13:59reality. Cause and effect and
14:01compensation ask us to take
14:03responsibility for what we put into the
14:04world and to give without keeping score.
14:07Relativity and polarity remind us that
14:10there may be more to an experience than
14:12just our first judgment of it. And
14:13lastly, gender invites us to recognize
14:16when life calls for action and when it
14:18calls for receptivity. So, here's what I
14:20invite you to do. Notice which of these
14:22laws speaks to something you're
14:24experiencing right now. And then ask
14:26yourself, if I truly understood and
14:28lived in alignment with this principle,
14:31what would change about the way I think,
14:33feel, or act today? That's where these
14:35laws stop being ideas and they start
14:37becoming a way of living. So, I hope you
