The Law Under Which We Live  All conditions and experiences that come to you do so for your benefit. Difficulties and obstacles will continue to come until you absorb their wisdom and gather from them the essentials of further growth. See 14 rules to being Human.

The Law Under Which We Live  Rule 1: You will receive a body You may like it or hate it, but it's the only thing you are sure to keep for the rest of your life.  Rule 2: You will learn lessons You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called life on planet earth. Every person or incident is a Universal Teacher.  Rule 3: There are no mistakes, only lessons Growth is a process of experimentation. "Failures" are as much a part of the process as “Success".  Rule 4: A lesson is repeated until learned It is presented to you in various forms until you learn it -- then you can go on to the next lesson.

The Law Under Which We Live  Rule 5: If you don't learn easy lessons, they get harder External problems are a precise reflection of your internal state. When you clear obstructions, your outside world changes. Pain is how the Universe gets your attention.  Rule 6: You will know you've learned a lesson when your actions change Wisdom is practice. A little of something is better than a lot of nothing.  Rule 7: "There" is no better than "here" When your "there" becomes a "here" you will simply obtain another "there" that looks better than "here".  Rule 8: Others are only mirrors of you You cannot love or hate something about another unless it reflects something you love or hate in yourself.

The Law Under Which We Live  Rule 9: Your life is up to you Life provides the canvas; you do the painting. Take charge of your life - or someone else will.  Rule 10: You always get what you want Your subconscious rightfully determines what energies, experiences, and people you attract - therefore, the only foolproof way to know what you want is to see what you have. There are no victims, only students.  Rule 11: There is no right or wrong, but there are consequences Moralizing doesn't help. Judgments only hold the patterns in place. Just do your best.  Rule 12: Your answers lie inside you Children need guidance from others; as we mature, we trust our hearts, where the Laws of Spirit are written. You know more than you have heard or read or been told. All you need to do is to look, listen and trust.

The Law Under Which We Live  Rule 13: You will forget all of this  Rule 14: You can remember any time you wish These words of wisdom were written by Cherie Carter-Scott in "If Life Is a Game, These Are the Rules:..."

The Law Under Which We Live Words are the first manifestation of thought “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

 Your ability to appropriate what you require for your growth determines the degree of harmony you attain.  Difficulties and obstacles are necessary for your wisdom and spiritual growth.  These difficulties can be avoided by a conscious understanding and cooperation with natural laws.  The Law of Attraction is the principle by which thought manifests itself in form.  The material by which growth, development and maturity is secured by the Law of Love which imparts vitality to your thoughts and the Law of Attraction produces by the Law of Growth.

 Desirable conditions are secured by entertaining desirable thoughts.  Undesirable conditions are brought about by thinking discussing and visualizing lack, limitation and discord.  You can overcome every kind of fear, lack, limitation, poverty and discord by substituting principle for error.  You recognized this principle through a conscious realization of the fact that truth destroys error.  Insight enables you to understand the value of making application of knowledge.

141. What determines the degree of harmony which you attain? Your ability to appropriate what you require for your growth from each experience What do difficulties and obstacles indicate? That they are necessary for your wisdom and spiritual growth How may these difficulties be avoided? By a conscious understanding of and cooperation with Natural laws What is the principle by which thought manifests itself in form? The Law of Attraction How is the necessary material secured by which the growth, development and maturity of the idea take form? The Law of Love, which is the creative principle of the Universe imparts vitality to the thought, and the Law of Attraction brings the necessary substance by the Law of Growth.

146. How are desirable conditions secured? By entertaining desirable thoughts only How are undesirable conditions brought about? By thinking, discussing and visualizing conditions of lack, limitation, disease, inharmony and discord of every kind. This mental photography of erroneous conceptions is taken up by the subconscious and the Law of Attraction will inevitably crystallize it into objective form. That you reap what you sow is scientifically exact How can you overcome every kind of fear, lack, limitation, poverty and discord? By substituting principle for error How may we recognize principle? By a conscious realization of the fact that truth invariably destroys error. You do not have to laboriously shovel the darkness out; all that is necessary is to turn on the light. The same principle applies to every form of negative thought What is the value of insight? It enables you to understand the value of making application of the knowledge which you gain. Many seem to think that knowledge will automatically apply itself, which is by no means true.
