Diana Cooper describes the first spiritual law of life as…
AS ABOVE, SO BELOW
I immediately, with reading through this chapter, recognise that love and being accepted and appreciated for who we are as souls even as physical beings aren’t determined by having to meet certain standards, or following specific rules, but having the gift of free will.
Having the gift of free will comes with the responsibility of taking ownership for our choices, actions, what we allow and connect to and how we choose to live our lives.
Having experiences are a part of life and why we choose to have a physical experience. There are no right or wrong actions. Seeing it from a spiritual perspective, it is more about using our free will in such a way that we make choices and decisions that will serve us energetically, emotionally, spiritually, physically and mentally.
We’ve all made choices where even though we knew that what we were about to do isn’t the best way, still did it and maybe from that learned hard lessons. That’s how we grow. That is how we evolve. Not only as people, but as souls and we get to learn more about ourselves in terms of what serves us and what doesn’t.
The beauty of this is that our inner guidance and spirit guides never leaves us or judge us for the choices we make. Neither do they try to manipulate or control our thoughts or feelings to get us to do ‘the right thing’. No, they respect the gift of free will we were given and therefore will always allow us to make our own choices.
As we learn and come more into our own by knowing who we choose to be as our true authentic self the Universe opens the doors as we are ready. Ready in the sense of knowing our worth and value, respecting ourselves and others, honesty with ourselves and others and recognising how simple life can be. Living in a way of honouring ourselves, we honour others.
The Universe wants us to be happy, fulfilled, prosperous and healthy, living a life and experience of well-being and joy.
Like Diana says, ‘While we have free choice, your soul is longing for you to choose the path of greatest spiritual growth.’
Therefore, living life from a place where we are making choices from our higher self, allows us to make wise, courageous choices that result in happiness, health and abundance.
Diana says, ‘Choices that promote love, harmony and joy come from the higher or divine will and always empower us’.
So it is with the energy of the Universe.
The Universe or divine will always support your passion and you will know it by how it makes you feel. Life is a mirror of our own energy. Therefore, use your free will of how you live your life so that it is one of pleasure, flowing in the knowing that the Universe always wants only the BEST for you. When you receive that which you were vibrating, standing in energetically trusting the Universe for manifesting it in your life – you VALUE it when you receive it.
Gratitude brings more of that which we appreciate.
May you respect the gift of free will that you as a soul was given and may it serve you. Recognise the importance of respecting the free will of others so that each of us can have the experiences and learning that we came to have.
Not one soul’s journey is the same and from the diversity in which we experience life and others, we get to grow our perspective of life and souls.
In my next blog, I’ll take you through the second spiritual law with Diana’s teaching and share with you my take on it. Till then, may you have a renewed sense of excitement and respect for the free will you have been given.
Love and Blessings
