Natural Law Explained: 8 Principles That Govern The Universe And Reality

      Natural Law: The Principles                   Governing Our Reality

In this article, we will explore the Principles of Natural Law, the underlying truths that govern how consciousness and energy manifest in the universe. Those familiar with occult teachings may recognize these as the Seven Hermetic Principles. However, there is an eighth principle that is equally vital yet often overlooked, which we will discuss here as well.

These principles are not man-made but are the inherent laws of the universe, binding all living beings and elements in existence . While you can attempt to defy them out of ignorance, these laws are immutable and cannot be bypassed without significant self-inflicted consequences.

For far too long, these truths have been hidden, suppressed, or misunderstood. It’s time to uncover these timeless principles and understand their role in shaping the reality we experience.

What Are Principles?

The term "principle" refers to foundational truths, the first things that take precedence in shaping our lives and reality. Principles are the foundation upon which everything else is built. While many of us may prioritize family or relationships, the truth is that principles must come first, as they form the basis for meaningful connections and a harmonious life. Without principles, our relationships and creations are built on shaky ground.

Now, let’s dive into these eight Natural Laws, which offer a lot of insights into how the universe operates.

The Eight Natural Laws

1. The Principle of Mentalism

2. The Principle of Correspondence

3. The Principle of Vibration

4. The Principle of Polarity

5. The Principle of Rhythm

6. The Principle of Cause and Effect

7. The Principle of Gender

8. The Principle of Generation (Care)

Let’s break each of these down in more simpler details. 

          1. The Principle of Mentalism

             "The universe is mental in nature."

This principle teaches that all of creation is a mental construct of our unified self (God). Every object, idea, or experience first began as a thought. In the microcosm, this refers to how your individual thoughts shape your personal reality. In the macrocosm, it refers to the infinite mind of the universe or (God) where all things originate. All things created first starts in the mental space then it's projected onto the screen of what we call reality. Thoughts lead to the manifestation of things. 

For instance, think about the process of building a house. Before it can exist physically, it must first exist as a concept or vision in someone’s mind. 

The Principle of Mentalism also explains why people often find themselves stuck in repeating patterns. These patterns are a result of deeply integrated thought-forms, or "mental programs," running in the subconscious. Until these mental constructs are reprogrammed, the external outcomes will remain the same, just like a computer running the same faulty code.

Example in daily life:

Have you noticed how your mood can shape your entire day? A positive mindset often leads to uplifting experiences, while a negative mindset usually attracts obstacles and challenges. The mind is the womb of creation. Be conscious of your thoughts, as they hold the power to shape your reality.

      2. The Principle of Correspondence

       "As above, so below; As within, so without."

This principle highlights the mirroring nature of reality. What happens on a larger scale (the macrocosm) is reflected on a smaller scale (the microcosm), and vice versa.

For example, the structure of an atom mirrors the solar system: the nucleus (the sun) is orbited by electrons (planets). Similarly, your internal state,your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs, directly influences your external environment.

Example in daily life: 

When you feel peace and joy within, your surroundings often reflect that positivity. Conversely, if you harbor anger or negativity, you may find that your external reality becomes chaotic or challenging.

This principle also explains why certain patterns repeat across nature and the cosmos, from the spiral of a seashell to the formation of galaxies. The universe is holographic in nature, with self-similar patterns appearing at every level.

The takeaway here is ....The external world is a mirror of your inner world. To transform your life, you must start by transforming yourself.

           3. The Principle of Vibration

          "Everything is in motion; nothing rests."

This principle states that everything in the universe is energy, vibrating at different frequencies. Even objects that appear to be solid dead matter, like a rock, are composed of particles in constant motion. The difference lies in the vibratory rate.

For instance, higher vibrational states correspond to emotions like love, gratitude, and joy, while lower vibrational states correspond to fear, anger, and despair.

Even the food you consume carries vibrational energy, influencing your body and mind. Think about this for a bit- when you pick a fruit and you eat it, that fruit still exists within you. The energetic particles that make up the fruit is combined with the particles within you to become a part of your system. That fruit was removed from it plane of existence (the tree) and is now existing in a different plane within your body. From this line of thinking you can see that what we call death is merely transformation from one energetic state to another.

Example in daily life: 

Think of how music can affect your mood. A song with uplifting, high-frequency tones can energize you, while a discordant or somber melody may lower your vibration.

We perseve the universe as solid but everything is really just pure vibratory energy. Certain things like fresh fruit vibrates at a higher frequency than processes foods.

Knowing that life is pure energy in motion can help us make decisions that align with higher frequencies. 

            4. The Principle of Polarity

                 "Everything has its opposite."

This principle reveals that opposites are simply varying degrees of the same essence. 

For example: Light and dark are variations of light energy (darkness is the absence of light).

Knowledge and Ignorance is the same thing, variants of knowledge on a scale. Lack of knowledge shading into ignorance.

Likewise hot and cold are degrees of temperature on the same spectrum.

Understanding polarity helps us reconcile paradoxes in life that are often bewildering. For instance, love and hate, though considered as opposites, are both intense emotions stemming from the same source.  Taking a journey within can reveal to you this truth. By shifting your perception, you can transform one into the other. Transmuting the lower state of the energy (hate) into it's more exalted state (love).

Example in daily life: 

A difficult situation may seem entirely negative, but with a shift in perspective, you can uncover opportunities for growth and learning within it.

Opposites are interconnected. Mastering polarity allows you to see the balance and harmony in all things despite their appearances.

             5. The Principle of Rhythm

                   "Everything flows in cycles."

This principle reveals the cyclical nature of life, from the rise and fall of tides to the changing seasons and even our own emotions. Life moves in rhythms, and these natural patterns influence our experiences. There are tendencies that exists in consciousness that influences it's manifesting, for instance, the motions of the planets move around the sun according to rhythm that's the tendency of the planetary energy.

Abundance and scarcity, joy and sorrow. Emotions recede and flow, much like waves, pulling us in different directions. In moments of struggle, trust that change is inevitable, and a shift in energy is coming. By understanding Rhythm, we learn to cultivate patience and resilience, knowing that every challenging moment carries the potential for renewal and growth.

Example in daily life: 

You may feel highly motivated and productive one day, only to feel like a drag the next. You can thank the principle of rhythm for that. 

When we recognize these rhythm it helps us avoid frustration and instead work with the natural flow.

The ancient mystery schools taught techniques to transcend the influence of these rhythms, such as raising one’s vibrational frequency to remain steady in the midst of emotional swings or external disruption.

This life moves in cycles. We must learn to embrace the flow while maintaining our inner balance.

     6. The Principle of Cause and Effect

                   "Every action has a reaction."

This principle reminds us that nothing happens by chance. That every effect has a cause, and every cause creates an effect. Thoughts, emotions, and actions creates a ripple in reality.

Our words and choices, when driven by emotions, shape outcomes in our relationships and life. Anger may cause hurt to another, while kindness builds connection.

It's not about playing the blame game but empowerment: by choosing love, gratitude, and accountability, we set positive effects into motion for our future experiences.

Think of every moment as a chance to plant a seed of growth or destruction. The universe always responds to causes with appropriate effects.

Example in daily life: 

A kind gesture, like helping someone in need, usually leads to positive outcomes, while harmful actions tend to invite negative consequences.

This principle of cause and effect empowers you to take responsibility for your actions and choices, as they directly shape your reality.

Don't forget to be mindful of your actions, as they set into motion the future events of your life.

             7. The Principle of Gender

"Creation needs both masculine and feminine energies."

This principle refers to the dual forces of the masculine and feminine energy that is present in all aspects of life. Masculine energy represents logic, action, drive, and willpower, while feminine energy symbolizes intuition, creativity, and nurture.

A balance of the masculine and feminine energies is necessary for any form of creation to take place. These energies exist within all of us and must harmonized for such. 

Imagine pursuing a dream: masculine energy propels you forward, but without feminine creativity and care, your vision withers.

In relationships, this balance cultivates connection and understanding. Emotionally, this principle asks us to embrace our wholeness, honoring both strength and sensitivity without judgment. Letting us know that true power lies in harmony, where action meets compassion and creation flows effortlessly from our inner world.

Example in daily life: 

Starting a business requires the masculine energy of initiative and the feminine energy of creativity and care to sustain it. Both energies must work together for balance and success.

Harmonize the masculine and feminine energies within yourself for greater creativity and fulfillment.

      8. The Principle of Generation (Care)

                  "What you care about grows."

This principle teaches that care is the driving force behind creation. Whatever you focus your attention and energy on will expand and thrive if given love, and care. Nurturing your passions is most important. Just as a seed needs care to grow into a tree, your dreams, relationships, and personal growth require your consistent care and focus. 

Whenever you invest emotional energy, whether through care, effort, or patience, the result is sure to blossom and flourish. 

Neglecting what truly matters to your being, however, leads to stagnation or decay. Emotionally, this principle asks us to prioritize what we care about most and actively nurture it. Whether it's a project, a relationship, or self-growth, the energy you give is what you’ll receive in return, multiplied.

Example in daily life:

If you deeply care about improving your connection to your unified self, your focus and dedication will naturally lead to growth. The insights you need will come to you at the right times. While, neglecting this pursuit to run behind the things that are illusory will result in stagnation or decline.

Care is the seed of manifestation. Nurture what matters most to you.

Conclusion

The Principles of Natural Law gives timeless wisdom for understanding the universe and our place within it. By working with these principles, you can reach greater awareness, harmony, and creative power in your life.

Be mindful of the fact that, these laws are not external forces, they are woven into the fabric of your being. Embrace them, and you’ll discover the keys to personal growth and universal connection with all of self.
