Everyone with a book to sell wants to overcomplicate the process of manifesting reality. With a little research you can probably find a dozen books offering a wide range of step-by-step systems for using the law of attraction or manifesting your dreams.

However the truth is you are already hardwired to create reality on a moment-to-moment basis. You don’t need to learn anything new; simply relax and believe in yourself.

In a nutshell, your creative faculties interact with the universe as follows:

Each time you look at the world, have a thought, or ponder the self you are creating an image. Your sensory organs collect data and send it to the brain for interpretation, and the same parts of your brain manufacture an image whether you’re looking at a physical object or imagining something with your eyes closed. You other five senses work essentially in the same way. Hence you literally create the reality you see and experience by processing electrical signals into tangible stimuli.

Because everything in the universe is made of vibrating waves of energy, an event you imagine is technically just as real as anything you experience in the physical world. Your unconscious mind doesn’t know the difference between the “real world” and the things you fantasize about in your daydreams. Furthermore numerous laboratory experiments and a plethora of personal experiences and philosophical observations have proven the human mind is capable of manipulating the raw, potential energy of the universe.

Simply put, your thoughts enable you to shift the unformed cosmic substance into the desired form, or to change the direction and behavior of existing phenomena. Intuitively you already know this is true, as indicated by your everyday responses to a variety of situations.

If you didn’t believe at the non-conscious level that your thoughts have a real, measurable impact on the physical world you would not bother with the activity of hope. Whether an emotion or an automatic function of thought, the experience we describe as hope is part of your naturally occurring creative process. You hope for the best when a loved one is in the hospital. You hope a potential romantic partner will say yes when you ask them out. You hope to get the job you apply for. You hope it will rain so your flowers can bloom. You never have to stop and think about it; in every appropriate scenario your whole being instantly experiences the profound surge of desire that we call hope.

When your hoping is genuine and your thoughts, emotions, and actions are in confident alignment with what you desire, you most likely have the experience of getting what you want. Alternatively when your hope is insincere and/or you are filled with doubt and vivid images of negative outcomes, you probably don’t receive the object of your desire.

Of course every circumstance is not this black and white. But a significant ratio of your experiences probably confirms the basis of the above paragraph.

When you want something and end up getting it, you are applying the basic fundamentals of manifestation. So how can you empower yourself to enjoy more positive outcomes?

There are lots of ways, but the following brief steps are the easiest method to start with.

1: Be Crystal Clear And Excited About What You Want

Don’t be wishy-washy about a potential outcome. Know exactly what it is you want down to the minor details and immerse yourself in the excitement of this clarity.

Avoid sentiments like maybe. Shift your mental and emotional posture into the assumption that you only need to take possession of your objective; i.e. the deal is sealed, so to speak and you are simply waiting for the moment when you can make the official announcement.

2: See And Experience The Positive End Result With All Your Being

See, hear, taste, feel, and fully experience everything about the desired end result. If your aim is money feel the paper in your hands and smell the crisp green bills while you count the sum out in twenty-dollar increments. If your goal is ten pounds less body weight feel your frame being that much thinner and more toned and assume you need new pants to fit your new waist. If it’s a new car you want be sure to clear out some room in the driveway and pick out a new GPS system or CD player. Begin living the desired reality at the physical, intellectual, and emotional level.

3: Surrender To Inspired Action

You know what actions are necessary to obtain that which you desire. So just do it.

Don’t agonize over possible directions, and don’t spend a ton of time deliberating this or that course of action. Rely on your intuition and do the things you are pulled towards.

It’s better to take no action than to rush forward in nervous haste just so you can feel busy. Clear your head, look honestly at what you want, and without thinking answer this simple question: “What do I need to do right now?”

When it’s time to act you’ll know. Until this moment arrives just stay loose, as the saying goes.

4: Use Your Emotional Guidance System And Relax Completely

The previous three steps will put you in a very upbeat emotional state. Lean into this and let your happiness shine as brightly as it will. If at any time you feel your emotions sliding toward doubt or anxiety recognize this as an important warning signal and readjust immediately!

Your emotions are the perfect guidance system and they will always let you know if you are on course with your manifestation. When you feel happy, energetic, and enthusiastic everything is on track. If you feel contracted, angry, or sad you are creating a future in opposition to the one you say you want. Heed your emotional state and adjust to the correct feelings as often as necessary.

Above all: relax! Be confident that if your desire is truly right for you it’s yours.

If you don’t get what you want most likely the event you hoped for was a poor fit for you at this time. There is always a lesson (or two) in perceived failures and shortcomings so there is no need for anxiety or dread.

Avoid at all costs obsessively focusing on your desire and constantly monitoring your progress. You know what you want and you’ve decided to have it; as long as you’ve been authentic in both of these areas you have nothing to worry about.

5: Get On With Your Life!

See what you want clearly and go about your day as if it’s already yours. Stay light on your feet and enthusiastic and just let the flow of life take it’s course.

Once you’ve set your intention your only remaining work is to keep your emotions on track and take any action you are inspired to take. Feel free to set your sights on new objectives if you like, just be sure not to contradict yourself by trying to manifest two entirely conflicting things.

The most successful creators have fun with the process and remain somewhat detached from their outcomes. Enjoy each moment of your day and always be thankful for the many good things around you and more goodness will flow your way.

Before delving into more complex systems for manifesting your desires I hope you’ll try this simplified process for yourself. It’s quite likely all you’ll need to enjoy fabulous new results in many areas of your life.

Spiritual laws are forces and tendencies observed in the natural world, through interpersonal relationships, and via deep introspection. This terminology is used to describe causation, inspiration, and inevitable processes within the flow of life.

I personally find teachings based on spiritual laws to be one of the most compelling resources for my own personal development and spiritual growth.

The hopelessly skeptical lose much sleep over the use of the word “laws”, and often dedicate a great deal of time and energy posing the useless argument that spiritual laws are not scientifically proven. I urge you to ignore such pointless commentary. No spiritual teachers that I am aware of attempt to supplant known scientific processes with the concepts known as spiritual laws; these principles are simply pointers and guidelines we can use to understand life, inspire ourselves, and even predict outcomes.

There are many interpretations and variations of universal spiritual laws. From a philosophical perspective the experience of these laws is inescapable, whether or not an individual chooses to recognize them in his or her life.

This article will discuss just a few spiritual laws of success. The word success can be taken to mean fulfillment, creativity, expansion, etc.

The same forces that support and nurture phenomenon in the natural world, like the growth of plant material and the evolution of species, also care for and inspire the human spirit in the ongoing quest for illumination and growth. While most social institutions insist that hard work, if not struggle, brutal competition, and blind luck are the building blocks of a successful life, the path of spirit offers a much easier and more enjoyable perspective.

I have intentionally kept the following entries brief and pointed. I urge you to read the rest of this article with an open mind and allow your intuition rather than your intellect to guide your asking and your follow-up research.

These first two laws are well-known. A few of the others may be new to you.

Law Of Vibration

Everything in the universe is vibrating energy that rises and subsides within an infinite sea of potential energy. The speed and frequency of a vibration determines the form or event manifested, and vibrations that are in tune with one-another are said to be in alignment.

While there are literally millions of chemical reactions taking place in your body in any given second, and a great many mental processes occurring in your non-conscious mind at all times, you are essentially holding one prime vibration within the present moment.

In simplest terms we can say that you are vibrating either positive or negative energy at this very moment, and in any other moment. The nature of your vibration will attract into your reality like vibrations, so if you’re holding a positive vibration you can expect desirable and rewarding circumstances and events to emerge from this.

By paying attention to your emotions you can instantly know what your current vibration is. Positive emotions like excitement, joy, love, and hope signal a positive vibration, and of course negative feelings like sadness, rage, and jealousy indicate negative vibrations.

Therefore your primary goal in every moment should be to hold the most positive possible vibration.

Law Of Attraction

Whatever you vibrate you also attract to yourself. Your dominant and ongoing thoughts, emotions, unconscious actions, and energetic processes bring into your field of awareness people, events, circumstances, moods, and even new thoughts that reflect your original vibration.

This law functions in the short term and long-term. However you feel in this moment will bring about more of the same feelings in the immediate future unless you deliberately change something. And the experiences you have over the course of a year, or a lifetime, are attracted to you by virtue of how/what you think and feel.

You create your reality by the law of attraction. Understanding the various other laws will allow you to make better use of this principle.

Most people read or watch a video concerning law of attraction, and without doing any further exploration begin to apply what they’ve learned. Those with a positive predisposition or natural affinity to manifestation and attraction get great deliberate results, while others become frustrated with mediocre or no results.

While a powerful principle in its own right, the law of attraction is part of a greater picture. Ideal experiences with attracting the things you want in life are more likely when you have a basic knowledge of some of the other spiritual laws.

The immense popularity of the law of attraction has literally changed the social fabric. Today many people who never considered their own power to influence the world are actively intending new experiences and working with like-minded individuals to project goodness into the world at large.

The best way to harmonize with the law of attraction is to become an optimist in all areas of your life. Expect and visualize the best at all times and begin to actually enjoy and be grateful for the wonderful blessings you know are on the way to you now.

You are what you think, and believing is seeing.

Law Of Observation

Everything we see and experience factors into the vibration we hold. This passive law impacts what we are able to manifest into reality, and it’s the reason many people with uncontrolled emotions appear to be trapped within the same undesirable life circumstances for long periods of time.

When you open your wallet and see several crisp, green bills, even if you don’t give this scene any conscious thought via the law of observation your are promoting the vibration of abundance. By the same token when you watch the mainstream news media each day and observe the horrendous garbage being strategically promoted, you are adding to the negative vibration that keeps the world off balance.

By being careful what you expose yourself to, who you spend time with, and so forth, you can be sure to leverage the law of observation in a productive manner. This spiritual principle is especially important when raising or caring for young children.

Law Of Pure Potentiality

Uncertainty, or infinite potential, is one of my favorite spiritual laws. This principle teaches us that absolutely anything can happen in each new moment, and that we need not cling to old ideas regarding what can or will happen in our lives or in the world around us.

A simple and effective way to bring this law into your life is to meet each day with the following affirmation:

“I embrace the infinite potential of this day and I welcome new miracles into my life. I surrender my thinking and my actions to the highest good and allow myself to be inspired in each new moment.”

The context of the above affirmation reveals the essence of this spiritual law. Anything is possible; we should live in the excitement of not knowing exactly what life has in store for us, while expecting good and wonderful things to come our way.

Law Of Giving

The essential nature of life is sharing and giving. The exchange of pollen between plant and bee for the good of both is a clear example of this. Everywhere in the natural world we see symbiosis and cooperation.

In your own life, greater abundance is yours whenever you give freely and spontaneously. This can take obvious forms like giving a dollar to the homeless beggar, but you can also align with this law by simply radiating generosity throughout your day. A warm smile cast toward a stranger is the law of giving in action. Taking the time to listen to someone who needs to be heard is an extremely powerful expression of this principle. Every moment abounds with opportunity to give and we have no excuse to refrain!

When we withhold we vibrate lack and stinginess, to which the universe will respond with more of the same. And when we share our blessings as if we are the source of all abundance (which we are!) the flow of life showers us with endless goodness.

Living In Harmony With The Laws

This content is a mere sampling of the many spiritual laws and principles discovered by philosophers and enlightened sages over the millennia. Studying these principles and observing them in yourself, in others, and in the world around you is a powerful way to expand your insight and attain new levels of bliss and joy.

It’s impossible for you to become disconnected with the pure, energetic source from which your consciousness and body emerged. However it is possible for you to strain against this connection by thinking and acting out of harmony with your true, essential nature.

The path of least resistance (another law, by the way) is to align you thoughts, emotions, and actions with the basic spiritual laws and to allow your intuition to guide your life. Often you can attain this by simply learning to let go of the wheel, so to speak, and allowing your inner nature to take over.

I also highly recommend this complete course on the “11 Forgotten Laws“. Bob Proctor is one of the greatest contemporary teachers of spiritual living and manifestation in the western world and the material in this guide is guaranteed to illuminate you.

I hope you found this article useful. And I hope you’ll take just a moment to review the recommended course above.
