Universal Principles

Light and Love to all of you, Team,

There are a lot of different "authorities" out there proclaiming their version of Truth. Most of the time they all concur with the basics, some offering some parts, others offering other parts. I found the following list that I felt consolidated them fairly thoroughly and in an understandable fashion. If we could master the concepts in our consciousness, we would I believe have Transformation to Oneness in reality.

As One,

Berry

 

UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLES

Universal Principles are the guidelines that govern our lives perfectly.

1. Energy

The basic component of the Universe, energy, occurs in either materialized or unmaterialized form. All that we see and feel is an expression of energy.

Energy is synonymous with love. When we resist the flow of energy, or love,
we experience discomfort. When we align with the energy flowing around us,
we feel joyful and at peace.

2. Infinite Intelligence, or God

Within all energy is an intelligence that is infinite, eternal and
purposeful. This Infinite Intelligence, which we sometimes refer to as God, or simply
love, is the source of all creative expression and the essential power in
the Universe.

The way we view our Infinite Intelligence, or God, is precisely the way we
experience life. When we perceive God as an unconditionally loving and
supportive energy at all times and under all circumstances, we experience our world
and everyone in it as totally safe, loving and generous.

3. Oneness

Since the essence of everything is pure loving energy, in the truest sense,
we are One. When we feel our connection to our Oneness, we feel the power of
who we really are.

Our Oneness, love, is indivisible. Whenever we attempt to withhold love
from anyone, we withhold love from everyone,including ourselves. The truth of
this principle becomes clear as we allow our hearts to open and feel our
interconnectedness.

4. There Is Nothing Outside Of Us

In order to have our human experiences, we created the apparent reality that
we are living outside the Oneness; that there are things and people that can
affect us without our consent. The truth is that there is nothing outside
of us; all that we see is our Self. This becomes our new reality when we open
the belief in separation and accept the truth that we are the Power of God.

5. Perfection

Our Oneness, God, is perfect and expresses this perfection as unconditional
love and support. Whatever unfolds is God happening. When we see other than
unconditional love unfolding, we are not seeing clearly. We create
unclarity to have the experiences that we came into the human to have.

When we are ready to see with greater clarity, we embrace whatever is before
us in unconditional love, trusting that the Universe, in Its constant
expression of unconditional love, is sending us the perfect support. With
practice, our clarity grows, along with our appreciation for the unconditional love
and support that is always present.

6. Beliefs

Under the guidance of our Souls, we intentionally adopt the beliefs we hold
in order to provide ourselves with the precise experiences we are having.
These beliefs help us hide our power so that our journey as humans can unfold
as we planned before we entered this realm.

The urge to explore life as a human beyond the limitations of these beliefs
is a signal that our Soul Selves are looking to guide us in finding and
reclaiming the power we had previously hidden, and to awaken us to the truth of
who we really are.

7. Intuition, Feelings and Power

Our Infinite Intelligence communicates to us through our intuition, which we
access through our feelings. The more willing we are to feel our feelings,
the more able we are to connect with the power that resides in them.

The true power in the Universe is a totally peaceful power. It is the power
of love, fully, freely and joyfully felt.

8. Mutual Support

Our Universe functions as a mutual support system in which each and every
thing in existence relates to and affects every other thing. Every person and
circumstance in our lives is there to support us by reflecting back to us the
present state of our consciousness.

The prevalent belief that we are naturally competitive and adversarial is
just a mirroring back to us of our acceptance of that belief. The more we look
for the support that is present in each event and circumstance in our lives,
the more we appreciate how perfect the Universe's support for us truly is.

9. The Mirror Principle

Everything that we see and feel is a reflection of the state of our own
consciousness. Every person we attract into our lives is showing us a perception
we hold about ourselves. Every feeling expressed by another mirrors a
feeling deep within us.

This reflection is a gift, for it allows us to be aware of the beliefs we
hold , and the power that we have hidden in them.

10. Nonjudgment

We have been carefully taught to evaluate and judge much of what we
experience. However, right and wrong, good and bad are just beliefs, places where we
have hidden a lot of our power.

The truth is that everything that occurs is just another event or
circumstance. Judging something keeps whatever we judge the way we judge it. Also,
judging anyone or anything tells us that we are judging ourselves in the same
way.

Judging creates discomfort within us that can only be relieved by opening
our hearts, first to the judgment and then to the person or thing we have
judged. Expanding this openhearted energy leads to the joyful feeling of
unconditional love for ourselves as the wholeness and completeness of who we really
are.

11. Purpose

Our Soul knows our purpose for this lifetime and initially supports us by
helping us hide our power and our knowing so that we may have the experiences
we came here to have. When we are ready to reconnect with our God Presence,
our Soul supports us in uncovering our power and our knowing. We are always
on purpose, and we are always a God Presence receiving the perfect support for
experiencing and expressing ourselves in accordance with our purpose.

12. Comfort and Discomfort

Our bodies are magnificent instruments that we create to support us in
having the experiences we come to the human to have. Our bodies are created and
maintained in consciousness. They mirror the state of our consciousness,
which includes the collective consciousness beliefs in how to look, act, age and
die.

Unencumbered by our beliefs, our consciousness is unlimited, as are our
bodies. The natural state of our consciousness is perfect ease, as is the
natural state of our bodies. The limited beliefs we have about our bodies are
there to love and embrace just the way they are. This opens the energy held in
the beliefs as it opens the energy in our bodies from that of dis-ease to
ease.

13. Abundance

Abundance is our natural state as God Presences. Everything we experience
is part of the abundance. When limitation appears, we are seeing a reflection
of our beliefs in limitation. Opening these beliefs provides us with a
clearer view of our abundance.

14. Giving and Receiving

Giving and receiving always occurs in balance. It is important to receive
gratefully as it is to give voluntarily, generously, and with no
expectations. Our willingness to keep the energy flowing in and out of our lives
supports the energy in expanding.

The corollary to the principle of giving and receiving is that we give only
to ourselves. Since we are all One, when we are giving to another, we are
giving to ourselves.

15. Nonattachment and Freedom

Our perceived need to hold on to anything or anyone demonstrates our belief
in shortage and personal incompleteness. Holding on to anything -- people
or possessions -- blocks the flow of energy around our experience with the
person or object and reduces the joy of the experience. It also inhibits new
people and new things from coming into our lives.

As we open our hearts and expand our trust in the natural abundance of the
Universe, we give ourselves and everyone else the gift of freedom.

16. Expressing Who We Really Are

Each of us has one or more talents we love to express. When we are fully
and freely expressing who we really are, we feel joyful and fulfilled.

The more love we feel for ourselves, the more we allow the creative energy
of the Universe to flow through us. Since how we see and feel about ourselves
is how we see and feel about other people, feeling more love for ourselves
is the most mutually supportive focus we can have

17. Means and Ends

Means and ends are the same. The action and out come are one.

To achieve peace, we feel and express our inner peacefulness. To enjoy a
life that works perfectly, we see and feel the perfection of everything and
everyone, including ourselves. To experience the natural abundance of the
Universe, we feel and express gratitude for everything just the way it is.

18. Harmony in Relationships

Every relationship in our lives reflects our relationship with ourselves.
Every person we attract is there to support us in opening our hearts and
reclaiming our power.

When we feel love for ourselves, and the perfection of ourselves, just the
way we are, we attract loving and harmonious relationships with other people.

19. The Universe Handles the Details

Taking care of the details of our lives is generally considered a
rational-mind activity. However, when our rational minds are active, we shut out our
Infinite Intelligence, which has the capacity to handle the details in ways
that are vastly more supportive of us and everyone else.

As we learn to relinquish our rational thinking and surrender to our
intuition -- our connection to Infinite Intelligence -- we discover how easily,
effortlessly and spontaneously events unfold for us.

Thanks for sharing that beautiful piece, Berry. It's long, but quite profound. I would only suggest that when they talk about judgment in #10, it's important to distinguish between what might be called positive and negative judgment. Positive judgment is discernment - the ability to identify something for what it is without emotional attachment. Negative judgment is an emotional response which makes something wrong or bad. I want to have good judgment in all things, which is the same as positive judgment. Yet I also want to be nonjudgmental, which means I do my best not to engage in negative judgment. Let the wisdom flow!

With love, joy and gratitude,
Fred

Thanks Berry, there are so many different ways this wisdom has tried to penetrate my 'self.'  Slowly, slowly the persistance and inevitability of Divine Consciousness is becomming something that I can embrace in every moment.  Eventually, I will know the truth of this wisdom and it will flow honey though my veins.  As one, Rob.

Thanks Berry,

I am copying and pasting it to my Word and then I can print and keep. I haven't read it all yet, I am very old fashioned and still like a piece of paper in my hand to read from. Really dating!!!! :)

As I said, I have not read it all, but I do agree with what Fred says about judgment. It is amazing how careful one has to be when using words. We so easily say something and to the other person it can mean something quite different. We truly have to be mindful all the time.

Lots of love to you Berry

Fred, I am in complete agreement with you regarding judgement.  I am always reminded of the words of Jesus in John 7:24 -"Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment."  Meaning just what you were saying above.  Jesus himself never said not to judge but to use right perspective in the judgement, otherwise one will be subject to the judgement that was pronounced, ie. "Judge not, lest you be judged."  When Jesus drove the money lenders from the courts of the Temple, he used right judgement to determine that they were not serving God or the people but themselves.  Yet on another occaision, he protected the prostitute (without judgement) by saying to the crowd who intended to stone her that, that one without sin should throw the first stone.

I do believe that judgement/nonjudgement is a stumbling block that all of us at one time or another must deal with. It is a hard thing to keep the "righteous" mind of a Master when faced with the choice of judgement or allowance.

 

In the love and light of our Infinite Creator,

Berry

Beautifully said Berry!

I really liked,

"The way we view our Infinite Intelligence, or God, is precisely the way we
experience life. When we perceive God as an unconditionally loving and
supportive energy at all times and under all circumstances, we experience our world
and everyone in it as totally safe, loving and generous"

My perceived world view is mine and mine alone!

Who, in their "right mind", could possibly claim to be a victim when this power of One is grasped and integrated!!!!

And yet we do live in a world of illusions and do well to carefully entertain the cherished illusions of others while shining a big light on the path to their liberation (without peddling a thing) by each of us just "Being" liberated by reality....

Live as One, Chris
