Another point made by the Law of Connection is that it takes time to redress karmic wrongs from the past. However, each small step can have unexpectedly powerful effects. Think about things in your life that you wish to accomplish. Conquer the small tasks first. Then, you may find the universe opening up to your ambitions.
7 - The Law of Focus
“You can not think of two things at the same time.”
“When our focus is on Spiritual Values, it is impossible for us to have lower thoughts such as greed or anger.”
This law will upset all the multitaskers out there... One can only focus on one thing at a time.
According to the Law of Focus, you will do better in life if you can follow a single train of thought to the exclusion of others. Our minds are not equipped to follow multiple trains of thought with equal competency.
So, if you have several important goals, try to follow them in a linear, ranked order rather than giving each goal only a fraction of your energy.
Another vital lesson here is that if you focus on your higher values; you won’t be able to focus on “lower” emotions or thoughts like those that come from resentment, anger or possessiveness.
This is important because a divided mind is more susceptible to negative thoughts. So, if you focus on being a higher spiritual being, then negative thoughts of greed and selfishness will fall by the wayside.
8 - The Law of Giving and Hospitality
“If you believe something to be true, then sometime in your life you will be called upon to demonstrate that particular truth.”
“Here is where we put what we CLAIM that we have learned, into actual PRACTICE.”
In Hindi, Karma meaning is closely tied to the Law of Giving and Hospitality. This law teaches that if you believe a certain thing, then you will naturally be
called upon at some stage to demonstrate your commitment to that truth. The focus here is on the link between belief and practice. It suggests and encourages the importance of ensuring that your actions reflect your deeper beliefs.
This law is also about the way in which the universe will “test” you. Life gives us opportunities to put learned lessons into practice (and showing you when you need to do further work on some aspect of your character).
For example, if you claim to be a true friend, then at some point in your life you will be called upon to demonstrate this particular character trait. This is where theory meets practice. Ultimately, when you claim a truth, this is where you demonstrate the truth and find out exactly who you are.
9 - The Law of
Here and Now
“Looking backward to examine what was, prevents us from being totally in the HERE AND NOW.”
“Old thoughts, old patterns of behaviour, old dreams... Prevent us from having new ones.”
Karma is connected to ideas about accepting the truth of your reality. Equally, Karma is linked in the theme of truly. If you cling too hard to past feelings, experiences and beliefs, you will always have one foot in the past. Likewise, if you focus on anxiety or on greed, you will always have one foot in the future.
Following the Law of Here and Now means reminding yourself that the present is all you really have and that it is there to be fully engaged with and enjoyed.
Once you are centered on where you are in the present moment, only then can you decide where you want to go, and take the necessary steps to get there.
