1. In the Now. While we cant experience perfect nowness, w can choose to live in it. every time I get to "work" (my desk a few steps form the bedroom" I used to chastise myself and would feel terrible all day. Productivity was always low those days. Recently I began telling myself that I got here when I should have got here. That sleeping in an hour accidently was in harmony with the universe. And I got to work when the universe needed me to. Every time I remind myself of this I feel peace, rather than dread. We can live in a place as close to the present as possible.
Oogway: Quit, don't quit? Noodles, don't noodles? You are too concerned about what was and what will be. There is a saying: yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the "present."
2. Free will/destiny. There is both. I think that they go hand in hand. They are like an old married couple, sometimes agreeing, sometimes arguing. If we just live in the nowness and take responsibility for our actions, we are acting on free will. We are always reacting to the destiny of the universe and all that is living within in and probably outside it. Its like a puzzle, it can only be put together one way, but we can choose how and when each piece gets put into place.
3. Attraction. “Our minds are always on and creating,” Brian Tracy. “We become what we think about,” Michael S Clouse.
I had a roommate who thought the movie The Secret was all rubbish and there is no such thing as the law of attraction. Her life was miserable. For months, everyday, all day long, she would complain that she might lose her job. You know what, I think it worked. Her boss gave her less and less work until finally she had nothing to do. Then she was laid off and her job was outsourced to India. Then she sat around all day complaining she was unemployed and had no income. You know what, she was right.
I used to sit around and complain I had no friends. Then I realized in so doing I was blocking new friendships from forming. Once I opened myself to be attracted to others as friends, I started attracting friends. Same thing with work. I used to sit around complaining I had nobody to write for. Once I changed my thinking from needing and having nothing to having everything and too many places to choose from, you know what, it happened. I finally had to say enough, I cant possibly contribute work to any more places to get paid.
4. Wealth Creation. We are wealthy. Michael Clouse said something to the affect of: Whatever current financial and material life we have is our lifestyle. We may not like it, but it is our lifestyle once we change how we look at it, it will begin to change too. We cannot attract a different lifestyle while we have negative thoughts about our current one.
5. Syncronicity. This just follows destiny, free will, and attraction. We are beings of energy, we are constantly sending signals in and out. Once we realize that our super computer brains are constantly sending out signals like a radio tower, and then we tune into this and the signals of all other beings on earth, then we will find a lot of things are synchronized.
6. Spirituality. Sleep can even be a deep spiritual experience. I think if we practice calming our minds, tuning into syncronicity, practice being in the now constantly (not just when meditating) we will find we are spiritual beings having a human experience. Everything we do all day long can have meaning to us, it’s up to us to tune into it or tune it out. Some choose to follow the motions, turn their lives onto autopilot, and then seek out a deep spiritual connection once or twice per week at a church or while partying. If we learn to connect with the now and let everything we do have a deeper meaning to us, then our life can be so much richer, and not the momentary snap-shot in time when we are purposely trying to have a spiritual connection.
7. Mindfulness, living in the now, law of attraction, syncronicity. Once we begin to practice these we find they are one in the same. Mindfulness teaches us to be in the now, to connect with what is happening now, at this moment in our lives.
8. Purpose. If we have not found our purpose in life then perhaps it is time we embarked on a journey to find it. perhaps our purpose is that journey. Then again is we try to live mindfully in the now we might find our true purpose or we might find we are already engaged in our true purpose.
9. Oneness. Once we got numbers 1 thru 8 down and in practice we will experience this. We will feel connected at the physical and spiritual level. Once we tune into the spiritual level of consciousness we will find peace, and feel more connected to others. But I think in order to do this we must let go of self. We have to let go of the thought “whats in this for me?” and start thinking “what is my purpose here, what can I contribute?” if we are only takers, the world is an empty and cold place. If we become givers, physically and spiritually, then the bounty of the physical and spiritual will be poured out upon us.
10. Love. It’s all about love. There is a delicate balance between loving who we are and thinking too much of ourselves, or being greedy and a “what’s in this for me” attitude. If we let ourselves be ruled by the laws of love for all, and begin to love others, and not practice hate of self or hate even for our enemies, we will realize that those who we call enemies are just misguided people who have not learned the above 10 rules for life. We need to be gracious and appreciative of the roles people play in our lives. Even those who seem to want to hurt us, we can learn things from them.
