excerpt from seven laws #1

As a beginning to this year 2009 I would like to post one law a week from a simple, wonderful book I’d read a few years ago by Deepak Chopra. The radical ideas expressed in powerful words are pretty motivating. In fact I liked it so much that I gifted several people on many occasions a copy of the book (now I need to get another one myself again!)

Below summary/excerpts are not really a substitute to actually reading the book. However if you could contemplate on each law it would be great to hear your thoughts about the ideas in it.

The Law of Pure Potentiality

This law is based on the fact that we are, in our essential state, pure consciousness. Pure consciousness is pure potentiality; it is the field of all possibilities and infinite creativity. When you discover your essential nature and know who you really are, in that knowing itself is the ability to fulfill any dream you have, because you are the eternal possibility, the immeasurable potential of all that was, is and will be. This law could also be called the Law of Unity, because underlying the infinite diversity of life is the unity of one all-pervasive spirit. There is no separation between you and this field of energy. One way to access the field is through the daily practice of silence, meditation and non-judgment. Spending time in nature will also give you access to the qualities inherent in the field: infinite creativity, freedom and bliss.

What it seems to remind us is that even though it may at times appear to be, life really isn’t a rat race… There’s enough for everybody’s needs, and maybe just that we haven’t tapped into it…?
