Over ten years ago when I took a deep dive into inner exploration, I began writing about universal laws.
I knew there was a connectiveness to all of us. My desire was/is to know and understand more about this connection. (Side note: Now I love spending time creating and giving away dot mandalas. I call them “Connecting the Dots”. I do this because of the powerful message they send to our higher Self. They also serve my creative spirit with much joy and expansiveness.)
One way to learn about the ‘consecutiveness of all' is reading and relating to universal laws. To do so opens you to higher states of being. Three simple words: To Do So = Action!
The law of inner revelation. In order for truth to be known, it must be realized, revealed, recognized inwardly. Then it blossoms, grows and bears fruit. The fruit is nourishing to body and soul with long lasting benefits.
Another important life lesson comes as a result: Embracing the shadow. The shadow is a darker side of us. It is where our greatest lessons are learned as well. When we learn to embrace this instead of resist it, then bliss can spontaneously occur, a nice side benefit. For sure, physical illness is not fun, broken relationships hurt like you know what and who wants to feel lonely? Yet, there is hope! Embracing the shadow and understanding the connectedness of all are “tricks” of the trade to living life on a higher plane. The Code of Behavior below has universal appeal and great wisdom. I wish I had written it, I so believe and strive to live it. Be well my friend, love and laugh often!

CODE OF BEHAVIOR
1. Your mind can hold only one thought at a time. You must choose either thoughts of hope, love and Light or thoughts of fear and negativity.
Become the dreamers of Thoth. Hold the perfect vision in your mind for yourself, your loved ones and the world. Let no mortal take that vision from you.
Follow your dreams and never stop believing in yourself. You will become more powerful than individuals who have knowledge but do not have the courage to realize their dreams.
2. Never put energy into responding to those who try to tear you down. Feed only the positive and keep this energy flowing into your accomplishments. Negative forces divert your energy and prevent you from realising your dreams.
3. Hold the Light for the world. Never underestimate the effect of a kind action or word. Stand firm with your integrity, even under adversity, and be kinder than necessary.
4. Commit your attitude and behaviors to self-improvement. See pain and disappointment as opportunities to accept greater challenges and then forge boldly ahead to become the person you are destined to be!
5. Compare your behavior with that of others and become more positive than anyone you know. Strive to embody a positive attitude and watch your performance soar.
6. Take responsibility for all aspects of your life by watching every thought, word, action and feeling that you emit. End the practice of blaming others and see that all pain and disappointment are only opportunities for growth and mastery.
7. Smile, for the gift of a smile is free. Let your smile grow into laughter and share this with the world.
8. See the Light of the soul within all people, knowing that each is a child of the one Creator. Treat all as you yourself would like to be treated, even though some individuals may challenge your patience.
9. Never give up on those who appear negative, for the truth is that their need to find love is greater than yours.
10. Never forget that a person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.
11. Boldly carry the banner of St. George into battle and feel victory at your side. Winners
go where losers do not care to journey. Something deep inside you remembers what it is
like to be fearless.
12. In mastery, one must be willing to assist others out of the brambles. You must be willing
to obey your own inner guidance. Find the teacher inside and listen to the wisdom. You
not only will become enlightened but you will also become a Master.
13. Never forget that we have embodied in order to live in harmony with others and with the
Earth and to increase our awareness of the God-self within. Harmlessness is a basic
part of our consciousness and must be accessed if we are to become Masters.
14. For every moment of every day there is an appropriate prayer to say. Find the prayer
that is right for you in this moment and give thanks that you have the wisdom and insight to recognize it.
