Perhaps you feel lost? Confused?
Uncertain of your place in the world, and why you are here?
Maybe your life seems like a constant series of ‘one step forward, two steps back.’ You make plans, and even though you try your hardest, something always goes wrong. Every day there are new hurdles, and the growing frustration that you feel inside tells you something isn’t quite right.
Maybe that is why you ended up here, on this blog post, looking for answers.
You probably have heard of the Law of Attraction. It’s possible you have even read the book, The Secret, that elevated the concept into the mainstream.
The Secret is a great book about the Law of Attraction.

Unfortunately, the book and its bandwagon of positive affirmers have seriously neglected to inform followers that The Law of Attraction is just one of twelve Universal Laws that govern all of creation.

History of The Laws
This is not newly discovered information. Documentation of these laws, and lists similar to this one, have been found in cultures all around the world. Historians argue they originate from Ancient Egyptian culture. After studying the Hermetic Principles, it is easy to see how they are a very likely foundation for the 12 Universal Laws as I have listed below.
Even older than Ancient Egypt, the earliest recording of similar universal concepts can be traced back to ancient Hawaii. An ancient Hawaiian healing practice known as Ho’oponopono focuses on forgiveness and spiritual cleansing, which are two very important underlying themes in this list.
The Laws and Synchronicity
I first came across the list of Universal Laws as I was writing my book. This was a dark period in my life indeed. As I began to incorporate them in my day to day life, I began to notice strange coincidences happening more and more frequently. Now I realize those coincidences are called synchronicities.
Synchronicities are signs from the divine realm that you are on the right path, that you are coming into alignment with your true purpose. Embracing these laws and adapting thoughts and behaviors to reflect them opens the door for the true essence of magick.
The Laws of the Universe
The greatest tools I can give you are those that make you stop and think about whether or not you are living in alignment with your true self.
I love this quote from Socrates!
Each of the laws require you to reflect and analyze yourself to see how your thoughts and actions have contributed to your current situation. Mastering these concepts will help you unlock the secrets to success and live a happier life. Even just acknowledging them will start to make a difference in how you feel.
That sounds pretty good right? Keep reading to learn more about each of these 12 universal laws, and how you can put them into action to work for you!
1. Law of Divine Oneness
We are one with each other. We are one with the universe.
The Universal Law of Divine Oneness: We are one with each other. We are one with the Universe.
This law is the foundational concept of interconnectedness upon which all the other laws are built. No matter if you think of “it” as God, Allah, Elohim, The Universe, Zero Point Energy, etc. we are all creations of one divine source. It makes no difference where you were born, how you were raised, or what you believe. We are all human, and beyond the physical body and senses, our souls are intertwined more than you could imagine!
2. Law of Vibration
Everything is made of energy that vibrates at frequencies.
The Universal Law of Vibration: Everything is in constant motion, vibrating at a specific frequency.
Everything (every atom, object, and living thing) is in constant motion, vibrating at a specific frequency. Anything that exists in our universe, whether seen or unseen, when broken down into and analyzed in its purest and most basic form, consists of pure energy or light which resonates and exists as a vibratory frequency or pattern. All matter has its own vibrational frequency. In order to materialize something, you must first match the vibration of what you want.
3. Law of Action
Action is essential.
The Universal Law of Action: Action is Essential.
It is not enough to simply focus your attention on a goal or a desire, you must take action! We must engage in actions that support our desires and dreams. You are not likely to find what you are looking for by sitting at home. This means accepting opportunities and offers as life presents them to you. Taking steps forward takes courage and wit, but it is worth the benefits that will come along from accepting things with a grateful heart.
4. Law of Correspondence
As above, so below. As within, so without. As with the universe, so with the soul.
The Universal Law of Correspondence: As Above, So Below. As Within, So Without.
Everything has a corresponding counterpart. Different levels of reality exist in the universe and we refer to these different levels as dimensions or planes. These planes- physical, mental, spiritual- exist in continuum. There is always a correspondence between the laws and phenomena of the various planes. Changes at one level affect all the other levels in the same fashion.
What’s going on inside of us corresponds with our external circumstances. Your internal environment is a direct reflection of your external environment. There is a direct correspondence between what you think and feel on the inside, and what you experience on the outside.
5. Law of Cause and Effect
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
The Universal Law of Cause and Effect. Every Action Has an Equal and Opposite eaction.
Every thought, word, and deed is a Cause that vibrates out into the world, setting into motion a chain of events, creating in its wake Effects. Every cause has an effect, and every effect becomes the cause of something new.
The choices we make, whether conscious or unconscious, are all causes that will produce a corresponding effect. All thoughts lead to words and words lead to behaviors or actions. All actions have consequences, as do all inactions. These consequences can be positive or negative, and this is based largely on the intention behind the actions.
6. Law of Compensation
What you sow is what you shall reap.
The Universal Law of Compensation: What You Reap Is What You Sow.
Eventually the vibratory energy sent out with our actions will return to its source, like the swing of a pendulum. Compensation is the visible effects of your deeds, but this does not only mean our physical actions. Our thoughts, emotions, and intentions also create compensation for us. All the effort you give, the actions you take, the things you think and say and do will all determine how you will be compensated. We receive exactly the reward or punishment we deserve.
7. Law of Attraction
That which is like, unto itself is drawn.
The Universal Law of Attraction: That Which Is Like Unto Itself Is Drawn.
You attract the things, events, and people into your life based on your overall energetic vibration. Our feelings, emotions, subconscious and conscious thoughts, beliefs, words, and actions all contribute to our vibrational frequency. Your habitual thought patterns and your dominant mental attitude determine your overall vibration.
Where your attention goes, your energy flows. If you focus on the negatives in life, you will attract more negative. When you consistently maintain a positive outlook and a grateful attitude, you will attract more positive experiences.
8. Law of Perpetual Transmutation
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed.
The Universal Law of Perpetual Transmutation: Energy Cannot Be Created or Destroyed, Only Changed.
Energy is constantly changing, transferring, or transmuting into something different. It is always in a state of motion. The energy of the universe is constantly changing into and out of form. It is flowing into our consciousness constantly, and we can transform this energy into whatever we choose to focus our thoughts on.
All persons have within themselves the power to change the conditions of their lives. Higher frequencies transform lower frequencies. Whenever we have a thought, that is energy in our bodies becoming manifest. In order to bring this energy into reality, we must keep our thoughts and vibrations consistent.
9. Law of Relativity
Nothing in life has meaning, except for the meaning we give it.
The Universal Law of Relativity: Your Perception Creates Your Reality.
Everything in our physical world is only made real by its relationship or comparison to something. Therefore, everything is relative. Light only exists because we compare it to dark. Good can only exist if there is a ‘bad’ to compare it to. It is your judgment and perception that makes things look good or bad.
10. Law of Polarity
Opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree.
The Universal Law of Polarity: Everything Has Its Poles, Its Pair of Opposites.
Everything exists in dual nature in the physical and mental realms. Everything has its pole. The polar ends are both extremes of the same continuum. There is not one point where you can say one starts and the other begins, it is a full spectrum.
You cannot have one side of the continuum without the existence of and potential for the opposite. Consider the dual outcomes when you flip a coin. The two sides may appear separate, but they are two inseparable sides of the same thing. When the coin is in the air, there is the potential for it to land heads up, or tails up.
11. Law of Rhythm
Everything moves to certain rhythms
The Universal Law of Rhythm: Everything Flows, Out and In; Everything Has Its Tides; All Things Rise and Fall.
These rhythms establish seasons, cycles, stages of development, patterns. Some say the energy of the Universe is like a pendulum, but recently science has proven the cycles of the universe are more like a spiral.
The meaning you give to events in your life determine what you think and how you feel about them, which in turn creates another rhythm within your life. With this knowledge, you can reflect and determine whether you were the cause of a downward spiral, or was it just the natural rhythm?
12. Law of Gender
Everything in nature contains within itself feminine and masculine energies.
The Universal Law of Gender. Everything In Nature Contains Feminine and Masculine Energies.
Everything in nature is both male and female. Both are required for life to exist. The gender principles exist as feminine, or yin, and masculine, or yang energies. Yin energies are passive, receptive, intuitive, and soft. Yang energies, in contrast, are active, projective, logical, and hard.
On the mental plane, the conscious mind is masculine and the subconscious mind is feminine. In order to unite these principles, you must understand that whether you are male or female, you hold both gender principles within. Every male has the components of female energy within his being, and every female has components of the male energy within her being. The key to harmonizing these principles is balance.
Embrace the Laws
These immutable Universal Laws should be used as guiding principles as you navigate life in today’s complex and chaotic world. Each of the laws teach you something about the big questions in life. When you have a greater understanding of them, you are able to see your own place in the world more clearly. Becoming aware of their influence will help lead to positive, long-lasting change in your life.
It may sound far fetched right now, but I assure you that embracing these laws in your own life will open you up to a whole new world of possibilities. Many who have followed this path report feeling more confident and productive as they spend more time reflecting on themselves and learning their place in the world.
