The Law of Pure

Potentiality

Our essence is pure consciousness

Knowing who we are gives us the ability to fulfill our

dreams

All relationships are a reflection of our relationship with

ourselves

The Universe is a projection of

Consciousness an Evolution from Universal

Consciousness to Individual Consciousness to Ego,

Intellect and Mind, Senses to the Physical Body

Meditation is an Involution, a return journey from the

gross world to subtler and subtler levels until we

arrive back Home in Pure Consciousness

“Awareness sleeps in

minerals

It dreams in plants

It awakens in animals

And has the potential to become

Self-aware in humans”

- Rumi

The potential for anything and everything is in

the silent spaces between:

Breaths

Objects/situations

Musical notes

Steps

Thoughts

The Lord passed by

Then a great wind tore the mountains apart

and scattered the rocks before the Lord

But He was not in the wind

After that, there was an earthquake

But the Lord was not in the earthquake

After that came a fire

But the Lord was not in the fire

After the fire came a gentle whisper

- 1 Kings, 19

We attract who we areIntimacy with the Self is the path to true healing

The purpose of any relationship isEnlightenment

We are here to rediscover our Higher or

Spiritual Self

For just one minute out of the day

With all the rest of your time,

It would be best to try

Looking upon yourself more as God does.

For He knows your true royal nature.

God is never confused and can only see Himself in you. - Hafiz

I am Eternal

I am Immortal

I am the Universe

Applying the Law

1. Take time every day to be silent“Wherever you go, remain a hermit inwardly,

then the world can never weaken you”

2. Spend time communing with Nature“If you have no relationship with nature, you have

no relationship with man” - Krishnamurti

3. Practice non-judgment“Everyone is a genius but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a

tree, it will live its whole life believing it’s stupid”

- Einstein

The Law of Giving

Our body, mind and the Universe are in constant

dynamic exchange

We must learn to give whatever we wish to receive

The intention behind giving should always be to create

happiness

The only things that stop us from being generous are fear and

ignorance

“There’s enough in this world for everyone’s needbut not everyone’s greed” – Ghandi

The tree laden with fruit bows low so we can pickit, the tree without stands tall and proud

Life is the harmonious interaction of all

the forces on all levels of existence

Giving and receiving keep the exchange going

Abundance is a state of mind

Give generously, Receive graciously

Pay it forward

Our essential nature is Infinite Possibilities

We are already inherently affluent

The ignorant person desires material objects, the intelligent person

desires liberation but the wise person just loves and everything comes

to him/her

The sage accumulates nothing, but the more he does for others, the

greater his existence; the more he gives to others, the greater his

abundance - Loa Tzu

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle and

the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never

decreases by being shared

- Lord Buddha

Live in wealth consciousness

I am Abundance

I am Joy

I am Free

Applying the Law

1. Give a gift to everyone you meet"It was only a sunny smile, and little it cost in the giving, but like morning light it

scattered the night and made the day worth living." - F. Scott Fitzgerald

2.Gratefully receive the gifts offered youThe only mantra you need is “Thank you”

3.Keep wealth circulating“Happiness depends on what you can give, not on what you can get”

- Chinmayananda

God withholds nothing
