The Breakthrough Experience - Dr John Demartini

Here are some of the excerpts from the book 'The Breakthrough Experience' which were very profound

The Breakthrough Experience: A Revolutionary New Approach to Personal Transformation by Dr John Demartini

"As we transform our thoughts, we transform our feelings and transform our life."

"It’s a paradox, but those who seek God most are the ones who most deny God’s presence. They go off on a quest to find divinity, and at the end, they look back and realize it was here all along."

"You will learn a formula for materializing your dreams, discover the secrets of opening your heart beyond anything you have imagined, find out how to increase your love and appreciation for every aspect of life, receive profound insights on how to create more fulfilling and caring relationships, reawaken your birthright as a true genius, transcend any fears and illusions surrounding the myth of death, and reconnect with your true mission and purpose for life on Earth."

"We may have positive and negative opinions about the various people and events in our lives, but in truth, they all play a perfect role in unfolding our destiny and making us who we are."

"Everyone wants to love and be loved, to appreciate and be appreciated, and everyone wants to live his or her dreams. There are certain laws that govern dreams, and if we follow those laws, we can fulfill our dreams."

"The four great ancient questions of philosophy: Who are we? Where do we come from? Why are we here? and Where are we going? Cosmology was mind-expanding and absolutely fascinating."

"Gratitude is the key to growth and fulfillment. If you were to give someone a gift and they just looked at it and then tossed it aside without thanks, would you be inclined to give them another? Of course not, and the universe responds just as you do."

"Many people confuse gratitude with elation. They think that when they’re elated about something and say, “Oh, I’m so thankful for that!” they’re being grateful. But true gratitude actually has little to do with those temporary moments of happiness or elation. True gratitude is a quiet state of poise and inner calm where you’re truly thankful, where you sense the divine order and wouldn’t want anything to change."

"Gratitude is a true prayer of thanksgiving, but there are two types of prayer. The first type is false prayer. It arises when you’re dissatisfied with life and it often sounds something like, “Oh, Lord, this is all messed up. Please fix it!” The second type is true prayer. It arises when you recognize the order and perfection of what is and you’re truly thankful for what has already been given. As a result, you receive even more gifts. To those who are grateful, more is given."

"You learn how to read, ’cause there’s only two things that the world can’t take away from you: your love and your wisdom. They can take away your loved ones, they can take away your money, they can take away just about everything, but they can’t take away your love and wisdom."

"Love and wisdom are the essence of life."

"Childhood deprivation is often the source of adult dreams and aspirations. So often childhood illnesses create the great healer or athlete. Those who think they weren’t loved seek to share love wholeheartedly for the rest of their lives. Those who felt unworthy develop a powerful drive to contribute to the world and feel worthwhile. Those who lived in poverty go on to amass great wealth. Perceived voids create values; we are programmed to seek whatever we think is missing the most."

"Wisdom is the instantaneous recognition that a crisis is a blessing, and even greater wisdom recognizes that blessings can also trigger a crisis. When we truly understand that, we’re less likely to be upset about difficulties or elated about opportunities; we remain centered no matter what happens around us. That is one of the secrets of self-mastery."

"The Great Discovery™: At any moment of your life, you will never be put down without being lifted up, nor lifted up without being put down. Positive and negative, good and bad, support and challenge, peace and war—all come together in pairs. They are simultaneous and perfectly balanced, and that is what makes up the divine order."

"People treat you exactly the way you unconsciously treat yourself. Their outer mannerisms toward you reflect your inner mannerisms, so one of the most powerful ways to transform your life is to become consciously aware of your beliefs and feelings about yourself."

"We’re not here to be right, we’re here to be love."

"Were you aware that supporting someone can make them weak and dependent, and that challenging them can make them strong and independent? We judge ourselves harshly when we feel we’ve been mean to someone, but that’s because we haven’t seen the balance."

"For most of us, conflict is less physical and more verbal and mental, but the same principle applies. You’re not present when you become distracted by the emotions of praise and reprimand, are you? When somebody lifts you up or puts you down, if you buy into their one-sided illusion, they can run your life."

"If every time a crisis struck, you trained yourself to immediately look for the blessing and opportunity that certainly exists, you could dance with your life."

“If I had only one prayer, it would be, ‘Thank you.’” — Meister Eckhart

"A genius is one who sees the guiding light of their soul, listens to the internal message, and obeys."

"The masses wait to see it to believe it, but the master believes it and then sees it."

"If you get absolutely crystal clear on exactly what you would love, and you can’t see anything but that, it’s almost impossible for you not to get it. If you can say, “I am worth it, I deserve to have my dreams, I deserve to take the time to focus on the infinite details to create them, I have a human will, and I’ll align it with divine will and allow it to fill me and inspire me to write out each dream in a specific fashion,” and then you do it . . . then it’s yours."

"The quality of your life is determined by the quality of the questions you ask. If you say to yourself, I’d like to do that, but how can I when I don’t have the money? you create a mind-set that assumes you can’t and stops without even trying. If, instead, you ask yourself, How can I do what I love and be magnificently paid for it? and don’t stop looking until you find the answer, you’ll get an entirely different outcome and life. Reframing the questions you ask yourself offers tremendous power."

"There is elated positive thinking and depressed negative thinking, and right between the two is present and loving thinking. The two extremes cancel each other out, and one is the antidote for the other."

"Ultimately, life is not meant to be only positive or negative, happy or sad, but to be expressed with a balanced expression of love and wisdom. Wisdom is the instantaneous recognition that crisis is blessing, and love is the automatic, instantaneous expression of the two sides of life. You express either pure unconditional love when you acknowledge the balance, or conditional and emotional love when you acknowledge the imbalance."

"Everybody has two sides. If you’re honest, you’ll see that you are both saint and sinner, virtuous and vicious. So when someone accuses you of something, don’t waste time defending yourself. Instead, admit that you are in fact possessor of whatever it is the’re attaching you for. Not only are you possessor, but they are, too, and they’re judging themselves; that’s why they’re accusing you. If it hurts to hear it, that means you haven’t seen how that quality servers you or others and you’re judging yourself. Their gift to you is to wake you up to another part of yourself that you haven’t yet loved."

"People feel sorrow not because someone has died, but because they didn’t express their love when they had the chance."

"Your worth in life is directly proportionate to how much love and gratitude you have, and the hierarchy of your values and magnitude of your cause determines much of your wealth."

"Life is funny. The moment you realize you already have everything you’re looking for, the universe gives it to you. The instant you think you don’t have something, it evades you further. The greatest discovery in life is that no matter what you do, you’re being supported and challenged simultaneously. The second greatest discovery is that nothing is missing; it’s just in a form you haven’t recognized. Widen your experience and broaden yourself, which is the value of experience, and see that it’s all there just in a new form, and then watch yourself become a master of transformation."

"We’re all hypocrites when we say we’re spiritual but don’t sit in a state of gratitude and grace for the magnificence of everything, just as it is. None of us are going to do that 24 hours a day, but if we’re wise, we’re honest enough with ourselves to acknowledge the times when we’re not grateful, know that that’s the journey, and humble ourselves to our sacred path of love."

"No matter what I’ve done or not done, I am worthy of love."

"Everything has two sides, and you can never have one without the other. It’s not one side now and the other maybe sometime in the future; they’re simultaneous. Don’t wait to get old to finally understand this. Awaken to the wisdom of the ages without the aging process. Honor the truth of equilibration."

Last year an old friend called to ask, “Can you loan me some money?” and I said, “No, I won’t.” “But why? You’ve got plenty.” “I know, and the reason I do is because I know how to manage it. I don’t give money to people who don’t know how, because if I do, we both say good-bye to our money. They become dependent, and I get a lesson in economics.” “I will not give money to any cause that does not ensure dignity, accountability, productivity, and responsibility to the recipients.” — Nelson Rockefeller

"The quality of your life is determined by the quality of the questions you ask. So don’t think, What do I have to do today? or What do I need? Ask yourself, What would I love to do today? What would I love to do with my life? Ask a different question and get a different life, because the way you talk to yourself creates your reality."

"You grow from impulse, where you simply react unconsciously to the world; to instinct, where you’re ruled by your emotions; to intellect, where the mind starts to have some awareness of, and influence on, your destiny. In all of those states, the heart is relatively closed and cannot direct your life. When the heart opens a little, you start to have intuition; and when it opens even further, you get inspiration. Inspiration involves messages, visions, and feelings that show you why you’re here. When the heart is completely open, it can receive divine revelation; and when you receive that, you cannot help but have a profound effect on the world. You will make a difference here simply by being."

"You are here on this earth to master seven areas of life: spiritual, mental, vocational, financial, familial, social, and physical. They can either powerfully support your genius or impede it. Love in each of these areas can ignite your genius, but fear and guilt can cause them to smolder."

"It states that if you’re given the choice between pissing someone else off or pissing yourself off, choose them. People come and go, but you’re with you for the whole trip . . . and it’s your life. Never sacrifice the eternal for the transient. Embrace both sides of life equally."

"Don’t think you’ll ever be without fears in your life; fear means you’re growing and challenging yourself beyond your comfort zones. I have fears almost every day, but I know that fear is a lie, a lopsided perception clouding the hidden order; so I identify it, bring it to balance, then walk through it. It is then that I turn on my light." “Forget about likes and dislikes, they are of no consequence. Just do what must be done. This may not be happiness, but it is greatness.” — George Bernard Shaw

"Every moment we spend not focused on our dreams becomes a moment we spend focused on our doubts and obstacles. Every moment we spend not focused on the flowers, we’re focused on the weeds."

"Words of Wisdom and Power • I talk to myself with the respect due a great genius. • I look for the genius in everyone I meet. • I link everything I do to my mission, and I am inspired by my life. • I walk through the darkened doorway where fear lurks, and I turn on the light. • I listen to my heart, which awakens my genius. • My genius elevates me beyond my daily illusions."

“When I speak of love, I am not speaking of some sentimental or weak response. I am speaking of that force which all of the great religions have seen as the supreme unifying principle of life. Love is somehow the key that unlocks the door which leads to ultimate reality.” — Martin Luther King, Jr.

The 7 Faces of the Power of Intention

1. Be Creative
The first face of intention is creativity. Creativity is essential to living an intentional life because it allows you to begin to see connections and opportunities that you were not conscious of before.

The face of creativity intends you toward continued creativity to create and co-create anything that you direct your power of intention toward.  Creative energy is a part of you; it originates in the life-giving Spirit that intends you.

The universe does not work in a linear, logical manner. Synchronicity will emerge from unexpected and seemingly ‘random’ places, when you are prepared for it. By training yourself to become more creative, and allowing your natural expression to flow forth, you can begin to tap into more of this energy.

2. Be Kind
Kindness and compassion are cornerstones of any true spiritual practice. Being kind in all circumstances requires you to gain a higher perspective and begin to see the world from another’s point of view.

Choosing to be kind is a choice to have the power of intention active in your life. Imagine this!  Kindness extended, received, or observed beneficially impacts the physical health and feelings of everyone involved!

When you are kind, you emit a radiant, positive energy, and let the universe know that peace and well-being are important to you. This sets your intention and clears the way for the manifestation of more positive experiences in your life.

3. Be Love
Love is a quality that you create for yourself. When you emit a vibration of love, you prepare to receive more of that same energy from those around you. In other words, when it comes to love, you get what you give.

As Ralph Waldo Emerson put it:  ‘Love is our highest word and the synonym for God.’ If you aren’t doing what you love and loving what you do, your power of intention is weakened.  You attract into your life more of the dissatisfaction that isn’t the face of love.” He also quotes St. Francis: “‘Where there is hatred, let me sow love.’  What he is saying is the power to dissolve and ultimately convert hate into the energy of love.”

Dyer writes that you were intended from a state of a love, which is why you must love in order to create intentions for yourself, and that the key to doing this is to focus on a spirit of loving cooperation, rather than competition over others.

4. Be Beauty
Beauty is everywhere around you. It doesn’t matter whether you are at the beach, on a mountainside, or staring at an urban construction site: if you look for it, you will find beauty.

Beautiful thoughts build a beautiful soul.  As you become receptive to seeing and feeling beauty around you, you’re becoming attuned to the creative power of intention within everything in the natural world, including yourself.

Learning to appreciate this beauty everywhere is an essential aspect of awakening into your divine nature, and as you begin to see it even in unexpected moments, it will become more and more prevalent for you, forming a stronger and stronger part of your vibration.

5. Be Ever-Expansive
The key to intention is to balance an appreciation for the joy, beauty, and abundance that is already before you with a desire to continue to grow and expand.

The power of intention is the power to expand and increase all aspects of your life.  No exceptions!  It’s the nature of intention to be in a state of increased expression, so it’s true for you, too.

Wherever you are, at whatever stage in your growth you may be (whether physical, intellectual, material, or spiritual) there will always be more you can desire of yourself. Learning to create these desires and expand joyfully, without invalidating where you are right now, is a powerful practice.

6. Be Abundant
We live in an abundant, thriving universe. At the core of your being, you are, in essence, part of an infinite field of energy. This energy births you and everything in your world and, since you are a part of this energy, you can tap into it to create anything you choose for yourself.

You don’t have to have an intellectual understanding.  It’s enough to silently know and proceed to live with your awareness of this face of endless abundance.

We restrict ourselves when we think of abundance only in terms of money. In truth, it is everywhere, from the leaves on the trees around you, to the love you can feel for others. Become attuned to this abundance, and you will attract more of it – in all forms – into your life.


7. Be Receptive
Lastly, Dyer writes that the key to receiving your intention is to become more receptive to it. When we try to outline specific ways in which our desires will unfold, we limit ourselves, and often miss the very unfolding we seek.

Receptivity enables you to remain curious, excited, and open about your desires, so you can experience them more fully.

You must not only become receptive to having guidance available to you to manifest your human intentions, but you must be receptive to giving this energy back to the world

The Seven Essense Mirrors of Relationships - Gregg Braden

What the Essenes said was that, for us to know and master ourselves in this world, we will see one or some combination of mirrored patterns in others. If you find yourself around individuals who are angry or dishonest, they are showing you your anger or dishonesty.
Every moment of life our inner reality is mirrored in the actions, the choices, the language of the people around us.
We attract people into our lives, and they are like these 7 mirrors or 7 types. When we learn the lesson these people or situations stop coming into our lives. Ask yourself what’s the pattern in my life?
Each moment of our life, the reality of our internal truth (what we have become) is mirrored to us by the actions, the choices, and the language of those around us.
The Seven Essene mirrors of relationships will be presented to everyone through the relationships of their lifetime. The seven essene mirrors is a way of understanding how the process of life works. We can use what seem to be negative experiences as stepping-stones to healing and empowerment.


FIRST MIRROR: Mirror/ Reflections of the Present moment

First mirror shows our presence in the moment. What we are. What we are radiating in the moment. What we reflect by others in the moment.
Knowing ourselves at the subtlest levels and transforming these moments into our learning is a path to self-mastery.

SECOND MIRROR: Mirror/ Reflections of Judgment

This mirror reflects to us that which we judge in the moment. Whatever judgement you make about others is about yourself only. If you judge or condemn others, then you will attract into your lives, exactly what you judge. Recognizing them and compassionately allowing your relationships to demonstrate their mirror to you (rather than resisting or getting even) will help to reduce these instances.
When I find that many people show me the same pattern of anger or fear, they may be showing me my internal truth in the moment.

Look at the people you hold most dear.  Look at the qualities that push your buttons most.  Are they showing you what you are in the moment?  Or are they showing you what you judge in the moment?

THIRD MIRROR: Mirror/ Reflections of Childhood loss

It’s the mirror we sense every time we find ourselves in the presence of a person who, when we look in their eyes you feel an electrical charge. It reflects back to us something we lost, gave away, or had taken a way. When we see something we love and desire in another, it is often something we have lost, given away or had stolen in our own lives. Every relationship is a relationship with self and often we try to reclaim what was lost. We gave away, or had taken away as a child. It could be joy, innocence, honesty and integrity, courage or love. All of which can be reclaimed within self.
As you journey through life, pieces of your life may be lost, innocently given, or taken away by those who have had power over you. These are your compromises, exchanged for surviving your experience. When you desire to love and give of yourself you may find nothing is left. Calling back those pieces of you may be your highest expression of personal mastery.

Through the course of our lives we give away or lose parts of ourselves.  When we find ourselves in the presence of another individual who embodies what we have lost, we will feel it as a magnetic connection to that person.  Ask: what is it I see in this person what I have lost or I've given away or was taken from me?
We will seek to reinforce that which we have lost, given away or had taken away.

FOURTH MIRROR: Mirror/ Reflections of your most forgotten love (greatest fear)

Fourth Essene mystery/mirror of relationship: Has a little bit of a different quality. Through the course of our lives often we will adopt patterns of behavior that become so important to us that we will rearrange the rest of our lives to accommodate this pattern or behavior.
This could be a way of life, a lost or unfinished relationship. Often it is a past life where a wrong conclusion from past experience was created. These will recreate themselves over and over until the right conclusion is registered in the soul as wisdom.
The part of yourself that you have least remembered, the part that you hold most clear is your forgotten love.
When we find ourselves in this situation, we find that these patterns may be compulsive or addictive patterns of behavior.  This allows us to see ourselves in the presence of addiction or compulsion.  Through addiction and compulsion, we give away little by little the things that we hold most important to us.  And in the giving away, we have the opportunity to see ourselves as we lose the things, we hold most dear. Addictions provide you with the opportunity to experience your greatest fears as you drive away the things that you hold most dear. The gift of addictions is that you can see your greatest fears and identify that which you have a charge on.
Alcohol or nicotine may come to mind.  Issues of control.  Addiction to sex.  Need for money. - all addiction/compulsion behaviors.
The pattern unfolds gradually unfolds over time.  We give away what is most important to us over time.  We may recognize the pattern at any time and heal, at any time.  Rather than taking it to its extreme.  And find our wholeness in the healing.


FIFTH MIRROR: Mirror/ Reflections of father/mother/creator

The fifth mirror reflects back to us Father/Mother or the Creator. Our fathers and mothers are Gods to us. By virtue of healing our illusions and relationships with our earthly mother and father, we heal our perception of our relationship with the creator. The way we perceive our parents reflects our beliefs of the way the Creator views us. We see perfections in the perceived imperfections of life.
This is perhaps single most powerful pattern.  Can see more and to a greater level why we've lived the lives we live.  It is the mirror that our parents showed to us through the course of our childhood/lives with them.  Through this mirror we are asked to allow for the possibility, to entertain the possibility that perhaps the actions of our parents toward us are mirroring our beliefs and expectations of what may be the most sacred relationship we'll ever know in our lifetime: relationship between us and our Heavenly Mother and Father.  It is through this relationship with our earthly parents that our parents are showing us ourselves in that expectation and beliefs of that divine relationship.  For example: if we find ourselves in a relationship with our parents where we feel judged, constantly.  Or that we feel that our best is never good enough.  There is a high probability that what is being mirrored is our belief within ourselves that we may not be good enough.  Or that we may not have accomplished that which may have been expected of us.
Through our perceptions of ourselves and our creator.  It’s a powerful and subtle mirror.  And it may tell us more about why we’ve lived our lives as we have than any other.
There are few absolutes.  There are often exceptions.  If you feel something inside of you welling up that says NO WAY, you’ve likely encountered something that could be really powerful.  The only way you’ll have a response is when you are being shown something that is so deep you may have chosen to avert looking at it in the past.
The way you see your Mother and Father (the words you use) of this world is a mirror of your expectations of the relationship you have with your Heavenly Mother and Father.  There are many ways to look at this.  Is it possible that inviting you to this world lives an unspoken responsibility that those who raise us are surrogates, they are the closest thing we know in our Heavenly Creator.  They have impeccably held to you the way you see your relationship with your Heavenly Parents.

When you perceived your parents’ anger, you felt what your creator felt.
This mirror may show you your beliefs, your expectations of what your creator feels for and about you.
Sentence: What would you say to your parents if you had only one minute left?  What would you like to hear from your parents in the last minute of your life?
Through our earth life, we have the opportunity to heal our relationships with both earthly parents and Heavenly Parents by recognizing what the mirror is trying to show us, so to release it.

Both the positive and negative attributes of our earthly parents’ mirror to us of how we perceive our Heavenly Parents.

SIXTH MIRROR: Mirror/ Reflections of your quest into darkness (dark night of the soul)

The sixth mirror reflects back to us the Quest for Darkness or what is often referred to as the Dark Night of the Soul. This is when we meet our greatest, challenges, our greatest fears and have been gathering the tools and understandings in life to confront them.
With few exceptions, nearly everyone will experience a ‘dark night of the soul’ at some point in the course of their lives. This is an experience where you are drawn into a situation or circumstance representing what appears to you to be your worst fear. This awakens a dormant force that may become your most powerful ally, a gift toward highest levels of mastery for you in this lifetime. You will access every particle of wisdom available to you, from the depths of your innermost experience, to overcome the fear. To know ourselves in our greatest darkness is our opportunity to heal that part of ourselves that we least choose to experience. To find our balance, we must know our extremes on either sides and embrace both to heal the judgment of our experience and to find the power of our truest nature. The quest into darkness does not have to hurt. The pain, if any, is also our mirror of the degree of charge that we have placed on “not losing” the things we hold most clear dear in life. This mirror empowers us to the level of recognizing the true self within us.

We are reminded that life has a propensity toward balance, nature has propensity toward balance.  It takes an extremely skillful and masterful being to upset the balance in nature and to upset the balance in our lives.  When we find ourselves in the greatest challenges of life, it in those moments that we may be assured that the only way those challenges are possible is after we have amassed each tool that will allow us to move through that challenge with grace and with ease, until those tools are amassed, we will never see ourselves in the situations that ask us to demonstrate these high levels of mastery.

From this perspective, the greatest challenges of life, may be viewed as tremendous opportunities to demonstrate mastery, rather than tests that may be passed or failed in life.  It is through this mirror that we see ourselves naked, without the emotion and feeling and thought and constructs around us that we have constructed around us to keep us safe.  We have the opportunity to see ourselves in a naked way and to prove to ourselves that the process of life may be trusted.

This mirror is an opportunity to lose everything we’ve held dear in life and see ourselves naked.  As we climb out of the abyss that is left after the loss of everything, we held dear, and we see ourselves in a new way; this is where we find our highest levels of master.

When you don’t face your deep dark fears, it gets manifested.
Whatever you reject, you attract
Whatever you resist, it persists.

Your body mirrors your belief.  Illness is only possible if you believe that the forces of light and dark are separate.  If we know that dark and light both originate in our creator, we will not fear.

As you heal each memory, you heal the universal fears:
1. Fear of not being good enough.
2. Fear of trusting and surrendering.
3. Fear of abandonment and separation.

Understand the fear, experience it, and then let it go.


SEVENTH MIRROR: Mirror/ Reflections of your greatest act of compassion

The seventh mirror reflects to us our self-perception. It’s the most subtle mirror.  It asks us to allow for the possibility, that each experience of life, regardless of its outcome, is perfect in its nature.  Regardless of whether we achieve the lofty goals that have been set by others, we are invited to view our accomplishments in life without comparing them to anything else, without any external reference.  The only way we can view ourselves in failure or success is when we measure our accomplishments to an external yardstick.  The question then arises, what is it that we hold ourselves accountable to?  What do we use as our yardstick of accomplishment?    From the perspective of this mirror, we are asked to allow for the possibility that all aspects of our lives (each aspect of our personal life: body shape, body weight, academic, business, athletic achievements) are perfect as they stand.  And can only be judged when they are compared to an external reference
Others will perceive and treat us according to how we perceive and treat ourselves. If we have a low self-esteem and do not acknowledge our wisdom and beauty, others will not acknowledge them. If we are angry, bitter and unloving to others, they in turn will often react in the same way towards us. When we change our perception of ourselves, we change the world. Maybe it is time to be kind, loving and compassionate to ourselves and others. Remember that, “The only reason anyone has power over you is you want something from them, “Whether it is love, joy, companionship or a personal Divine connection, everything can be found within.

Through the mirror of ourselves, we are asked to compassionately allow perfection in each expression of life, regardless of how the experience is viewed by others. The greatest act of compassion that you may ever be asked to demonstrate may well be compassion for yourself. Worth and to love and respect the gift of the perfection of life through your body.
Allow for perfection in the imperfections of life.  What standard are we holding ourselves to which cause us to feel unhappy?

Compassion may be defined as:
Thought without attachment to the outcome.
Feeling without distortion.
Emotion without charge.

Anger is in polarity.  Denial, not allowing feeling.  Allow feeling opens path to compassion.  If you feel nothing when you learn of something horrible, it’s possible that you are in denial.  If you want to get even or make someone pay, you are allowing yourself to feel.  If you can say to yourself, I miss those people and this didn’t have to happen and there’s a sense that there is a balance in the event, then you may be on the way to compassion.


Conclusion:

Each one of the seven mysteries is sequential, building upon the realization of the one previous to it and through each you heal your fears in doing so, you prepare for yourself the path that allows compassion to be a force in your life.
Subtle mirrors will be recognized and resolved before the powerful mirrors of even greater subtly are acknowledged. Emotions that lead to compassion are mastered, in sequence, through consciously acknowledging and mastering these seven mirrors. Recognizing what the sequence is saying to you and why you repeat similar patterns with different people may guide you toward your highest mastery. These mirrors are written in order from least to greatest degree of subtlety.

SEVEN SPIRITUAL LAWS OF SUCCESS By Deepak Chopra

Many of us grew up with the belief that achieving success requires relentless hard work, grim determination, and intense ambition. As a result, we may have struggled for years and even reached some of our goals but wound up feeling exhausted, our lives out of balance.

As Deepak Chopra observes in his transformational work, The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, such desperate striving isn’t necessary or even desirable. In the natural world, creation comes forth with ease. A seed doesn’t struggle to become a tree―it simply unfolds in grace.

The Seven Spiritual Laws are powerful principles you can use to fulfill your deepest desires with effortless joy. If you put them into practice, you’ll realize that you can manifest whatever you’ve been dreaming about.

Fortunately, the laws of success aren’t difficult or mysterious but are easy to understand and apply. There are also many ways for you to learn more about using The Seven Spiritual Laws to attract the life you truly want, and right here is a great place to begin:

Sunday: The Law of Pure Potentiality
Take time to be silent, to just BE. Meditate for 30 minutes twice a day. Silently witness the intelligence within every living thing. Practice non-judgment.


Monday: The Law of Giving
Today, bring whomever you encounter a gift: a compliment or flower. Gratefully receive gifts. Keep wealth circulating by giving and receiving care, affection, appreciation and love.


Tuesday: The Law of Karma
Every action generates a force of energy that returns to us in like kind. Choosing actions that bring happiness and success to others ensures the flow of happiness and success to you.


Wednesday: The Law of Least Effort
Accept people, situations, and events as they occur. Take responsibility for your situation and for all events seen as problems. Relinquish the need to defend your point of view.


Thursday: The Law of Intention and Desire
Inherent in every intention and desire is the mechanics for its fulfillment. Make a list of desires. Trust that when things don’t seem to go your way, there is a reason.


Friday: The Law of Detachment
Allow yourself and others the freedom to be who they are. Do not force solutions—allow solutions to spontaneously emerge. Uncertainty is essential, and your path to freedom.


Saturday: The Law of Dharma
Seek your higher Self. Discover your unique talents. Ask yourself how you are best suited to serve humanity. Using your unique talents and serving others brings unlimited bliss and abundance.

The source of all creation is pure consciousness . . . pure potentiality seeking expression from the unmanifest to the manifest. And when we realize that our true Self is one of pure potentiality, we align with the power that manifests everything in nature.

I will put the Law of Pure Potentiality into effect by making a commitment to take the following steps:

a) I will get in touch with the field of pure potentiality by taking time each day to be silent, to just Be. I will also sit alone in silent meditation at least twice a day for approximately 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening.

b) I will take time each day to commune with nature and to silently witness the intelligence within every living thing. I will sit silently and watch a sunset, or listen to the sound of the ocean or a stream, or simply smell the scent of a flower. In the ecstasy of my own silence, and by communing with nature, I will enjoy the life throb of ages, the field of pure potentiality and unbounded creativity.

c) I will practice non-judgment. I will begin my day with the statement, “Today, I shall judge nothing that occurs,” and throughout the day I will remind myself not to judge.

Monday: The Law of Giving and Receiving

The universe operates through dynamic exchange . . . giving and receiving are different aspects of the flow of energy in the universe. And in our willingness to give that which we seek, we keep the abundance of the universe circulating in our lives.

I will put the Law of Giving and Receiving into effect by making a commitment to take the following steps:

a) Wherever I go, and whomever I encounter, I will bring them a gift. The gift may be a compliment, a flower, or a prayer. Today, I will give something to everyone I come into contact with, and so I will begin the process of circulating joy, wealth, and affluence in my life and in the lives of others.

b) Today I will gratefully receive all the gifts that life has to offer me. I will receive the gifts of nature: sunlight, the sound of birds singing, spring showers, or the first snow of winter. I will also be open to receiving from others, whether it be in the form of a material gift, money, a compliment, or a prayer.

c) I will make a commitment to keep wealth circulating in my life by giving and receiving life’s most precious gifts: the gifts of caring, affection, appreciation, and love. Each time I meet someone, I will silently wish them happiness, joy, and laughter.
     

Tuesday: The Law of Karma or Cause and Effect

Every action generates a force of energy that returns to us in like kind . . . what we sow is what we reap. And when we choose actions that bring happiness and success to others, the fruit of our karma is happiness and success.

I will put the Law of Karma into effect by making a commitment to take the following steps:

a) Today I will witness the choices I make in each moment. And in the mere witnessing of these choices, I will bring them to my conscious awareness. I will know that the best way to prepare for any moment in the future is to be fully conscious in the present.

b) Whenever I make a choice, I will ask myself two questions: “What are the consequences of this choice that I’m making?” and “Will this choice bring fulfillment and happiness to me and also to those who are affected by this choice?”

c) I will then ask my heart for guidance and be guided by its message of comfort or discomfort. If the choice feels comfortable, I will plunge ahead with abandon. If the choice feels uncomfortable, I will pause and see the consequences of my action with my inner vision. This guidance will enable me to make spontaneously correct choices for myself and for all those around me.   

Wednessday: The Law of Least Effort

Nature’s intelligence functions with effortless ease . . . with carefreeness, harmony, and love. And when we harness the forces of harmony, joy, and love, we create success and good fortune with effortless ease.

I will put the Law of Least Effort into effect by making a commitment to take the following steps:

a) I will practice Acceptance. Today I will accept people, situations, circumstances, and events as they occur. I will know that this moment is as it should be, because the whole universe is as it should be. I will not struggle against the whole universe by struggling against this moment. My acceptance is total and complete. I accept things as they are this moment, not as I wish they were.

b) Having accepted things as they are, I will take Responsibility for my situation and for all those events I see as problems. I know that taking responsibility means not blaming anyone or anything for my situation (and this includes myself). I also know that every problem is an opportunity in disguise, and this alertness to opportunities allows me to take this moment and transform it into a greater benefit.

c) Today my awareness will remain established in Defenselessness. I will relinquish the need to defend my point of view, and I will feel no need to persuade others to accept my point of view. I will remain open to all points of view and not be rigidly attached to any one of them.

Thursday: The Law of Intention and Desire

Inherent in every intention and desire is the mechanics for its fulfillment . . . intention and desire in the field of pure potentiality have infinite organizing power. And when we introduce an intention in the fertile ground of pure potentiality, we put this infinite organizing power to work for us.

I will put the Law of Intention and Desire into effect by making a commitment to take the following steps:

a) I will make a list of all my desires. I will carry this list with me wherever I go. I will look at this list before I go into my silence and meditation. I will look at it before I go to sleep at night. I will look at it when I wake up in the morning.

b) I will release this list of my desires and surrender it to the womb of creation, trusting that when things don’t seem to go my way, there is a reason, and that the cosmic plan has designs for me much grander than even those I have conceived.

c) I will remind myself to practice present-moment awareness in all my actions. I will refuse to allow obstacles to consume and dissipate the quality of my attention in the present moment. I will accept the present as it is, and manifest the future through my deepest, most cherished intentions and desires.

Friday: The Law of Detachment

In detachment lies the wisdom of uncertainty . . . in the wisdom of uncertainty lies the freedom from our past, from the known, which is the prison of past conditioning. And in our willingness to step into the unknown, the field of all possibilities, we surrender ourselves to the creative mind that orchestrates the dance of the universe.

I will put the Law of Detachment into effect by making a commitment to take the following steps:

1. Today I will commit myself to detachment. I will allow myself and those around me the freedom to be as they are. I will not rigidly impose my idea of how things should be. I will not force solutions on problems, thereby creating new problems. I will participate in everything with detached involvement.

2. Today I will factor in uncertainty as an essential ingredient of my experience. In my willingness to accept uncertainty, solutions will spontaneously emerge out of the problem, out of the confusion, disorder, and chaos. The more uncertain things seem to be, the more secure I will feel, because uncertainty is my path to freedom. Through the wisdom of uncertainty, I will find my security.

3. I will step into the field of all possibilities and anticipate the excitement that can occur when I remain open to an infinity of choices. When I step into the field of all possibilities, I will experience all the fun, adventure, magic, and mystery of life.

   

Saturday: The Law of Dharma or 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.

I will put the Law of Dharma into effect by making a commitment to take the following steps:

1. Today I will lovingly nurture the god or goddess in embryo that lies deep within my soul. I will pay attention to the spirit within me that animates both my body and my mind. 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.
