What are those laws of power and possession to which Haanel refers? They are, in fact, the seven Universal Laws. Unless you have been hiding in a cave somewhere for the last few years, chances are you have heard of the Law of Attraction. It became the ‘flavour of the month” through the film “The Secret” and the book of the same name.
But as is often the case The Secret told only part of the story. The tip of the iceberg if you will. If you are one of the millions who latched onto the secret as a quick and easy way to make money, only to find it did not work for you, this is the reason why. The Law of attraction is just one of seven universal laws THAT DO WORK. In fact they work, with or without your permission, with or without your knowledge. Your life at this time is a direct result of the seven Universal Laws at work …by default. Those Universal Laws have been operating in your life since the day you were born. That is a reality, whether you believe it or not. The key is to be able to work in harmony with those laws and benefit from what they are doing, rather than working in ignorance and in many instances suffering the consequences.
So what are these Universal Laws and how do they affect your life? This is only a brief introduction to the Laws, none the less, they will be more easily digested if I break here and handle them one at a time.
The Law of Vibration: The Law of Vibration states EVERYTHING that exists in the Universe is, in it’s purest form, energy that is vibrating at one level or another. It goes further in saying that all energy is the same. There are not different types of energy, but one form of energy that is present in different forms, or, if you prefer, vibrating at different frequencies. Once you can grasp the implications of that, a whole lot of things start to fall into place. Basically, everything and everybody is inextricably (I’ve been looking for a place to use that word!) joined. To help you understand the profundity (there’s another word I’ve had waiting to use) of this reality let me use an analogy I have used elsewhere in a different context.
Many people see themselves as a marble, in amongst a whole lot of other marbles. Each marble is unique, (maybe I should use snowflakes…but then the analogy wouldn’t work) and quite distinct from all the other marbles in the container. Each of the marbles in the container have only superficial contact with some of the other marbles in the container, but in that contact maintain their separateness from every other marble. If fact, if one of the marbles was to be taken out of the container, the rest would simply shuffle around and fill the place left and very quickly any evidence that marble had ever existed would be lost. We’ll leave that picture there because as is the case with all analogies, once you push it too far, it starts to disintegrate.
The Law of Vibration is telling us that we are, by contrast, a giant piece of honeycomb, where the individual cells are, in fact made up by the existence of the cells that surround it. (see picture for clarification)
Each cell in the honeycomb is inextricably (there’s that word again…such bliss) linked with all the other cells in the structure, and if one of those cells were missing, six others would be immediately affected and the whole structure would be weakened. If a cell of honeycomb could laugh, the whole structure would vibrate with the joy. If a cell of honeycomb could cry, the whole structure would get wet. What affects the one, affects the whole.
The import of this reality are truly amazing, dare I say world changing. WE ARE ALL ONE. There is no ‘them’ and ‘us’. There is no ‘other’. We are all manifestations of THE ONE because there is nothing else!
Now, just an aside for a moment to raise two points. First is, and this is truly amazing, the timing of Haanel’s work. Most of us in the Twenty First Century were taught at school that matter is really energy. E=MC2 and all that. So, the facts of what we are considering here is not something new to us. But Haanel was writing in the time before Einstein’s discoveries were widely known! The basic understanding that people of the time had was Newtonian physics which claimed the world as it exists came about mainly as a result of the forces of gravity; that atoms were the basic building block of all nature and were solid in form! It was only with the capacity to be able to break the atom into its component parts that the true nature of ‘matter’ could be discovered. That didn’t happen, at least publicly for more than a decade after Haanel wrote The Master Key System!
Now my second point in this brief informative interlude may seem like a blatant plug. That’s because it is. I have written a series of novels exploring, at least in part, \what this idea that we are all one really means and how it might be realized in practical terms. As my gift to you, I am offering the first novel in that series, totally free of charge. You can download the PDF version of it by clicking here. I hope it inspires you sufficiently to do something!
