Exploring the 12 Laws of the Universe in Modern Times
Post #2
I am 54 years old now. I have had my share of life experiences. Some say that once most of our life is behind us, it is natural to review past events in terms of success and failures. I now have the privilege to be in such a position. However, I am reticent to look at my past as good or bad, a success or a failure . Rather, I choose to approach my past with self awareness, seeking wisdom and clarity. The Law of polarity says that everything has an opposite. For example, there is good and there is evil. These are two sides to the same coin. Events in my life that were challenging, scary, and sad have given me strength and vigilance I never knew I was capable of. In contrast, happier events in my life were sweeter because of these tragedies, hardships and losses.
As a whole, I think about partners I have chosen, friends I have chosen, occupations I have chosen. The Law of Attraction says that like attracts like; that you bring in what you focus on. This leads me to wonder was I really in the driver’s seat of my life choices? Or were these choices and actions just responses, a reaction to what life threw at me? Were they the outcome of a fear response or pressure to perform what was expected of me by peers, society, or a self imposed pressure for fear of failure ?rejection? Judgement? The Law of Inspired Action is closely related to The Law of Attraction.It says that taking those real, actionable steps to what we want to invite in our life may manifest our desires. This inspired action may often begin as a shift in attitude or perspective before actions taken out on the material plane. Acting as if you already have what you desire, sets the stage and may open up the doors and opportunities to reach these desires; the power of positive thought.
Reflecting back on my life with its shares of ups and downs, happy times and sad times, losses and gains: breakdown of a 28 year marriage, rifts and isolation with family, loss of loved ones, disappointments with career choices, and financial trials. I am humbly aware many others have been through similar events and perhaps even more.
It’s been 8 years that I am out on my own now. I am acutely aware of the preciousness of time. I am closer to retirement. I am now a grandmother. Life still offers its infinite supply of trials and tribulations. I approach life a bit softer these days. I am less judgemental, less hurried, less reactive to unpleasant interactions. I enjoy a friendly smile with a deeper appreciation, a lover’s touch, a neighbourly gesture, shared laughter. My thoughts, responses and reactions are more methodical now, a bit more considerate of others space, a bit more empathetic. My life framework is built around a sense of peace and resolution. And my universe would seem to respond accordingly. Life is bittersweet. How we choose respond determines the themes in our lives.
Today I am driving my own bus.
Namaste.
