I read Deepak Chopra’s book “The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success” and just wanted to summarize it for myself so I can have a record of it. I recommend reading it as there are aspects and ideas which I personally just take as generally known and so I haven’t bothered to reiterate them here. For example the principle that we are all one and separation is an illusion.
The Law of Pure Potentiality: The source of all creation is pure consciousness… pure potentiality seeking expression from the unmanifest to the manifest. Application: Take time each day to be silent, to witness nature and to practice non-judgment.
The Law of Giving: The universe operates through dynamic exchange… giving and receiving are different aspects of the flow of energy.
Application: Each day continue the circulation of potential by giving and receiving with gratitude, pure intention and no thought of retribution. Each time you meet someone wish them joy and happiness.
The Law of Cause and Effect: Every action generates a force of energy that returns to us in like kind. Application: Be consciously aware of the choices you make and the consequences that they will result in but trust your intuition and what your heart tells you.
The Law of Least Effort: Natures intelligence functions with effortless ease.
Application: Practice acceptance by knowing that each moment is as it should be and having accepted take responsibility of the moment. Remain open to all points of view.

The Law of Intention and Desire: Intention and desire in the field of pure potentiality have infinite organizing power.
Application: Consciously make a list of all your desires and meditate on it but relinquish it to the pure potential of the universe to manifest it as needs be. Accept the present moment as it is. Do not try to manipulate the manner in which the universe manifests your desires.

The Law of Detachment: In our willingness to step into the unknown we surrender to the creative mind that orchestrates the universe. Application: Allow yourself and all around freedom to be as they are. Accept uncertainty in the knowledge that solutions will spontaneously emerge. Uncertainty is the path to freedom, the more uncertain the more secure I will feel. Uncertainty gives rise to the field of infinite possibilities. Consciously detach yourself from results.
The Law of Purpose in Life: Combining our unique talents in service to others we experience the exultation of our own spirit.
Application: Be aware of the Devine that is a part of you. Awaken the deep stillness in your heart. Know your talents and find ways to express them to bring joy and happiness to the world. Daily ask “How can I help?”
