Seven Spiritual Principles of the Universe
Order
Gratitude
Purification.
Spiritual Affinity
Cause and Effect
Spiritual Precedes the Physical
Oneness of the Spiritual and the Physical
Order
Everything in nature moves in accordance with this principle, such as the four seasons that always follow in exact order: spring, summer, autumn, winter. This cycle of birth, growth and death is maintained year after year.
This principle also includes power inherent in seeking the correct time, place and position in any situation.
Knowing and honoring this principle:
Allows everything to proceed smoothly, naturally.
Helps you understand why certain situations fail and what to change so that it won't fail again.
Helps you keep harmony in your life.
Gratitude
It is a basic truth that gratitude gives birth to gratitude, connects you to the Divine and positive energy.
Knowing and practicing this principle:
Helps you be grateful for everything that happens to you in your life.
Helps you understand and overcome adversities.
Helps you remember not to complain too much!
Enables you to stay connected with the Light which in turn helps you maintain balance.
Raises your spiritual vibration, so that your life’s experiences become positive.
Purification
Negative thoughts, words and actions create situations that manifest as what we call, “clouds” on our spiritual bodies. These spiritual clouds can also make our bodies impure and cause our physical bodies to become toxic. When the density of these clouds reflected as toxins in the physical body, reaches a certain point, a natural purifying action – or elimination – occurs.
In many cases the purification manifests as an illness. Illness is a purifying process of the toxins that have accumulated in the physical body. The toxic area or affected spot is the outer or surface reflection of the spiritual origin of the condition. This is the spot where spiritual clouds have accumulated according to the Principle of Spiritual Affinity.
When the clouds are dispelled, the physical toxins dissolve and are eliminated from the body, naturally restoring health and balance. Purification can also take the form of a mental, emotional and material cleansing in individuals and can also occur in the form of natural disasters.
Knowing and following this principle:
Helps you understand and to be grateful for simple or acute illnesses that cleanse the body.
Helps you understand why accidents, disasters, conflicts, monetary losses occur.
Helps you understand why other forms of purification happen to you and on the planet.
Spiritual Affinity
Like attracts like and the illnesses and misfortunes that befall us all correspond to our spiritual level and our past actions; water reaches its own level.
You are also born into a family on the spiritual level that you require, in order to progress spiritually.
Knowing and following this principle:
Helps you realize that your spiritual level attracts the appropriate experiences to you for your spiritual growth.
Helps you be grateful to your parents and family members for the lessons they have taught you.
Helps you understand why you experience certain types of purification.
Cause and Effect
For every action, there is a reaction. You reap what you sow.
Knowing and practicing this principle:
Helps you to focus on doing positive deeds for the benefit of others.
Helps you understand the importance of honoring the Principle of the Spiritual Preceding the Physical.
The Spiritual Precedes the Physical
Everything that occurs in the physical world is a reflection of what has already occurred in the spiritual or in our consciousness. Modern material science has made great progress in the study of the visible and tangible, but it has left out the vital, inner element of matter which is invisible to the five senses. This is spirit, the primary component which is the very substance of all matter.
Knowing and honoring this principle:
Helps you solve any problem, personal or global because it directs to the cause rather than the effect.
Helps you understand that everything that happens is the material result of a spiritual cause.
Oneness of the Spiritual and the Physical
Our physical bodies belong in the physical world and likewise, our spiritual bodies belong in the spiritual world. The inseparable union of the spiritual and physical bodies, the oneness of spirit and matter, generates life-force energy. Without spirit, the physical body has no life-force and without the body, the spiritual body has no physical vehicle. What occurs on the spiritual body reflects on the physical and vice versa. They are not separate; therefore, change in one affects the other.
Knowing and practicing this principle:
Helps you remember to honor your spirit and your body equally.
Reminds you that the spiritual body departs when the physical body stops functioning, i.e. you are a spirit in a body, not the body itself.
