•       2. Working with Principles
or Natural Laws

•       Not Values

•       Not Practices

                Principles are the Natural Laws and they are independent. Like the Law of Farm

•       2. Principle or Natural Laws ….. contd

                                A law is the process by which unmanifest becomes the manifest,

                                and the process by which dreamer manifests his dreams.

– Dr. Deepak Chopra

                 Seven Natural Laws for Success

•       One: The Law of Pure Potentiality

This is about knowing who you are. Understanding your self and true nature – it’s about being internally referenced rather than externally referenced, i.e., not seeking approval from others.

KNOW the Self

By being ‘self-referred’ we are:

• Immune to criticism

• Un-fearful of change

• Beneath no-one – yet humble and not superior

If we are ‘object-referred’ we are:

• Constantly seeking approval

• Seeking control

• Wearing a social mask

Applying the Law:

1. Slip into the Silence (Self awareness)
2. Commune with nature (sunrise, sunset, flower, sky ...) and witness the intelligence within every living thing
3. Practice Non-judgement

•       Two: The Law of Giving

Giving comes hand in hand with receiving. This is about the ‘flow’ of energy – need to give willingly to create mutual happiness. We are all inherently affluent as ‘giving’ does not mean money.

Think about giving what you would like to receive – joy, love, appreciation, and respect.

Gifts are very simple – attention, affection, appreciation and silent wish of happiness or joy.

                The more you give the more you will receive.

•       Two: The Law of Giving

Applying the Law:

1. Whenever I go, and whoever I encounter, I will bring them a gift (a compliment, a flower or a prayer).
2. I will gratefully receive all the gifts that LIFE has to offer me. I will receive the gifts from nature and others.
3. When I meet someone, I will silently wish them happiness, joy and laughter.

•       Three: The Law of Cause and Effect

‘reap what you sow’

                Be conscious about the decisions that we make rather than just ‘reacting’ in the way that we have always done so.

Listen to your heart – often your spontaneous right decisions are the ones made by your heart – what does it feel?

We have infinite choices, that’s why we should be a Conscious Choice Maker.

•       Three: The Law of Cause and Effect

Applying the Law:

1. Witness the choices
2. While making choices, I will ask – “What are the consequences of this choice?” and “Will this choice bring fulfilment and happiness to me and also to those who are affected by this choice?”
3. Ask my heart for guidance

•       Four: The Law of Least Effort

                This is the principle of ‘do less and achieve more’ – it’s where miracles come from.

Need to be in tune with self to enable this to happen. Important to be motivated by love (of yourself) and not by power and control (ego). Less effort is expended when something is done out of love above power and control. Free up energy by stopping to maintain an illusion of importance and grandeur (dignity).

Synchronization with the Existence

               

•       Four: The Law of Least Effort

Applying the Law:

1. Acceptance: of people, circumstances and events; of my feelings; that it’s no one’s fault
2. Responsibility: for my situation and for all those events I see as problems; to transform the situation into a greater benefit; to use situations as lessons
3. Defencelessness: stop defending my view; no need to convince others to accept my point of view; openness to all point of view

•       Five: The Law of Intention and Desire

Every intention and desire is the mechanics for its fulfillment.

Let’s introduce an intention in the fertile ground of pure potentiality, it simply work for us.

Keep your attention on the present and your intent for the future will happen. The future is created in the present.

Trust that when we release our ‘desires’ and any attachment to outcomes, the universe will orchestrate the success.

•       Five: The Law of Intention and Desire

Applying the Law:

1. List all the desires. I will look at it before I go to sleep at night. I will look at it when I wake up in the morning.
2. Release the desires to universe – relinquishing attachment and outcome
3. Remind to practice present-moment awareness in all my actions.
4. Accept the present as it is, and manifest the future through the deepest, most cherished intentions and desires.

•       Six: The Law of Detachment

To acquire anything in the physical universe, you have to relinquish your attachment to it.

This doesn’t mean you give up the intention to create your desire.

Just You give up your attachment to the result.

Attachment = fear and insecurity.

Uncertainty = fertile ground of pure creativity and freedom (freedom – the quality or state of being free, the absence of necessity, coercion, or constraint in choice or action)

•       Six: The Law of Detachment

Applying the Law:

1. Participate in everything with detached involvement.
2. The more uncertain things seem to be, the more secure I will feel, because uncertainty is my path to freedom.
3. When I step into the field of all possibilities, I will experience all the fun, adventure, magic, and mystery of life.

•       Seven: The Law of Purpose in Life

Everyone has a purpose in life ... a unique gift or special talent to give to others.

And when we blend this unique talent with service to others, we experience the ecstasy and exultation of our own spirit, which is the ultimate goal of all goals.

The field of pure potentiality is divinity in its essence, and the divine takes human form to fulfil a purpose.

Three parts to the law of purpose …..

1. To discover our true self

2. To express our unique talents

3. To serve fellow human beings

                Think ‘how can I help’ rather than ‘what’s in it for me’.

Applying the Law:

1. I will awaken myself to this deep stillness within my heart. I will carry the consciousness of timeless, eternal Being in the midst of time-bound experience.
2. I will make a list of my unique talents. Then I will list all the things that I love to do while expressing my unique talents. When I express my unique talents and use them in the service of humanity, I lose track of time and create abundance in my life as well as in the lives of others.
3. I will ask myself daily, “How can I serve?” and “How can I help?” The answers to these questions will allow me to help and serve my fellow human beings with love.

•       4. Active Your Subconscious Mind

“We must realize that the subconscious mind is the law of action and always expresses what the conscious mind has impressed on it. What we regularly entertain in our mind creates a conception of self. What we conceive ourselves to be, we become.” - Grace Speare

“Only one thing registers on the subconscious mind: repetitive application – practice. What you practice is what you manifest.” - Fay Weldon

“It is psychological law that whatever we desire to accomplish we must impress upon the subjective or subconscious mind.” 

- Orison Swett Marden

“Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion will one day become a reality.”

- Earl Nightingale

“Our subconscious minds have no sense of humor, play no jokes and cannot tell the difference between reality and an imagined thought or image. What we continually think about eventually will manifest in our lives.” 

- Robert Collier

“It is only through your conscious mind that you can reach the subconscious. Your conscious mind is the porter at the door, the watchman at the gate. It is to the conscious mind that the subconscious looks for all its impressions.” 

- Robert Collier

•       6. Transforming Habits

The Principle-Centered Ways

focus primarily on Character Ethics and secondarily on Personality Ethics (It focuses on Inside-Out.)

•       Character ethics = Integrity, Humility, Fidelity (Trustworthiness), Temperance (Self-control), Courage, Justice, Patience, Industry, Simplicity, Modesty and the Golden rule

 

•       Personality Ethics = Relationship techniques, Communication skills, Positive attitude, Power strategies, Human influence strategies: Appearance, Smile

Paradigm – a model, a theory, perception, assumption, or frame of reference

Let us take a map to understand paradigm.

“The map is not the territory.”

Asan = Kathmandu; Mangalbazaar = Patan

With the map of Patan, you cannot reach Asan.

You might work on attitude or behavior.

The important thing is the accuracy of map.

•       6. Transforming Habits … contd

ü  Being is Seeing

ü  Paradigms are inseparable from character. And what we see is highly interrelated to what we are.

ü  Paradigms are powerful because they create the lens through which we see the world.

ü  The Way We See the Problem is the Problem

ü  A Need of New Level of Thinking

•       6. Transforming Habits … contd

For minor change – focus on attitude and behavior

For quantum change – focus on paradigm shift
